Merely adequate. The men sent to remove our things from our old home and then into storage were friendly - hence the 2 stars. The office staff were the total opposite and dismissive. They were also very expensive. We were told we'd have to wait over 3 weeks to have them deliver our belongings to our new address - at our expense as our things were in their storage - hence I found another removal company who did it the same week, with excellent service and a third of the price. I would not recommend them or use them again - sorry removal boys - not your fault!

Great service, the three guys Aaron,Corey and Paul were a credit to the company they work for. They were excellent in moving us to day, turned up on time and loaded the van with nothing to much for them. Unloaded the other end again with pure professionalism again nothing to much trouble and once unloaded again asked if we wanted anything repositioning Would definitely use Hackworthy again and again, A1 service

How would you feel if a removal company arrived in your road (a single track) and started packing the homeowner's belongings into boxes whilst they continued to block your road for the four days it took. Rejecting suggestions that they could pack and store the boxes and bring the lorry to the address at the end of each day. Would that be an ok scenario? I don't think so. The Manager was not at all interested in any objections and for that I rate him less than 1 star. Not to mention the rudeness of the staff!
