Bonar and Sons helped us move house about 25 miles just before Christmas '20. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They worked tirelessly throughout the day and barely even stopped for coffee breaks. Having seen a great number of people move recently, we realised what a difference a good removal company made and we are so pleased we chose Bonar & Sons. From the initial estimate visit to them unloading at our new house they were efficient and professional throughout. They also represented excellent value when their services are considered. We could not recommend them highly enough.

The team were absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using house removals so we were nervous about moving and how the process would go. The guys instantly calmed our nerves! They were calm, professional and nothing was too much trouble. The whole process took less than 4 hours. It made our moving experience a very positive one, and we would not hesitate recommending them to friends and family. Thank you!

What an amazing team! We recently had a large house move and Bonar & Son handled the packing and moving of everything (including an upright piano). From the initial visit by Emma, to the end of Moving Day we felt we were in safe hands. They cheerfully got on with the packing and moving over three days, during which time they also had snow and rain to contend with, not to mention a very tricky driveway to handle (well done Tom!). They were very friendly, and worked fast but competently, and there was not a single complaint about the awkwardness of the staircases in our new house, even though there

This is the second time I have used Bonar & Sons and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for an amazing service from all of you. This is a family run company with family values. A professional yet very friendly service from everyone, who all clearly take great pride in their work & rightly so. Nothing is too difficult for them, and is always done with a smile. Everything went smoothly, and according to their time estimates. Nor is anything ever damaged.

A really friendly, approachable, efficient, thorough and professional team. We used the full packing service for a long distance move over two days. We got a good impression right from Emma's visit to estimate time and costs, and we were grateful that the company provided costs for various combinations of services as our situation changed. Communication was excellent. When we were messed around by our chain, Emma was reassuring and worked behind the scenes, allowing us to move on the required day. The removals team were great on both days, carefully packing and loading, overcoming logistical challenges
