Positive:Professionalism
The move with the Harradines team was excellent, it went really well even though delays due to circumstances beyond their control meant a significant wait to move contents into the new house. There was no fuss, full support from the team, they were superb and really helpful.

I've used Harradines more times than I care to mention in the past five years, and every single time they have been professional, prompt, polite and patient. They have moved stuff in and out of a variety of houses and flats for us, as well as keeping some of our belongings in their storage facility. They also did an unusual job of packing up all our possessions and putting them in our own attic (when we had tenants for a year), then getting them all out again afterwards. Nothing is too much trouble, everything is wrapped carefully and sensibly, they follow instructions properly, and always want

Harradines were super helpful, professional & informative. We had a video quotation (due to covid) which was thorough and made very clear what was included. We opted for the service that included the packing up of our house. The removal men worked so hard and everything was moved efficiently and put into the new property safely. Such a friendly, helpful and professional team. Thank you so much for all your help you really helped make the move much less stressful.

Harradines moved us in April and were extremely professional, with a stressful process being handled as smoothly as we could possibly hope for. They have just assisted us to move an awkward piece of furniture and, once again, they could not have been more helpful. This includes the people at the end of the phone and the guys lifting the boxes. They are a class act and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Vynil record Boxes carried to van with no problems with handling. record boxes appeared at new address with tampered seal. Operative confirmed they had taken off seal and re sealed boxes to enable handling of box. This should not have been needed as they had no problems with the initial carrying. police are investigating. Still unpacking and hope nothing else is missing. Also double check gas registered to remove and refit any gas cookers..they removed ours but the did not refit it although ths is the service we paid for. U need as safe person to do both parts. Left us without cooking facilities
