Fantastic service from Ballards from start to finish. The removal team where just outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they where very helpful. When I asked the answer was always that what we are here for. Huge thank you to Glen & Dale both conscientious and took good care of my things and worked fast to complete the move.

Amazing service. Above and beyond. Our move date was short notice and we didn't finish packing so they chipped in and helped us while packing the vans. Couldn't fault them. Everything was out within a couple of hours. And unpacked at the other end just as quick. Thank you for the great service.

Ballards did a phenomenal job moving my nearly 80 year old Mum today. The guys were so friendly and made a stressful day much easier. They had the van loaded by 11:00 am and unloading was even quicker. Nothing was broken. All very stress free. I can’t thank you enough for all your professionalism from the minute my Mum first enquired to the moment she signed the last of the paperwork on moving day. Superb Job! I would highly recommend Ballards.

I've always moved myself but the years are starting to get the better of me. I needed a short notice move to temporary accommodation whilst work is being carried out on our own home, so contacted Ballards who were able to accommodate me. What a team they sent, Dave and Ian were absolute heroes. Polite, professional, efficient , speedy, thorough . Nothing was too much for them and they really helped reduce the trauma of the day for myself and my wife. They were so supportive. I would heartily recommend Ballards for a worry free move, as it turns out, so do many of my neighbours .
