Outstanding!
Bobby and the Cambs Light Removals team were fantastic during our recent move. We had a complicated situation with multiple pick ups which Bobby coordinated with competence and professionalism. When our completion date was delayed, Bobby and his crew came through and helped us solve a challenging situation, rescuing us from chaos. I can't recommend CLR enough, the service is exceptional!

Bobby was very responsive and was able to be very flexible with the date of the removal which had to be moved multiple times. It was a three man job and was done quickly and carefully. Very good value compared to other removal firms we have used in the past, but as a result less time and care spent on individually wrapping smaller items like electrical cables and kitchen drawer items (all piled into one box). All fragile items were well packed however and there were no breakages. Would definitely use again.

Great, professional and friendly service. Bobby was very responsive in organising the move, and on the day Kieran & co were really fast and friendly - the whole move to London was completed in a couple of hours. Really happy with their service, would definitely use again and would highly recommend choosing them as your removal company!

Bobby and his team did a really quick and efficient job of packing up my house one day and moving me down to Dorset the next! It all went without a hitch and the guys were always really cheerful, friendly and helpful. I have already used them several times to move furniture and now my house move and I wont hesitate to use them again in the future! I highly recommend them to anyone

Big thank you to Bobby, Kieran, Isaiah and Jay. Fantastic, very friendly, team that did an amazing job moving our house over 3 days. Great attitude from the staff, always happy to lift even the heaviest of furniture up 2 flights of stairs. Would recommend the packing service takes a big stress out of moving. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend and would use again.
