This was complicated 4 location move and executed faultlessly by Shaun and Michael - guys, many, many thanks, I still don't understand how you worked the volumes and got it all in that little truck! Kudos and many thanks.

Just wanted to say how pleased we were with the Reads removals team during our recent move (about 100 miles) in particular Michael and David. They were endlessly helpful, friendly and hard-working and took great care with our belongings. They were very efficient and getting us out of our old place and into the new, and we have them to thank them now we are all settled in!

We used Reads Removals last month to move from one part of Peterborough to another. We had a number of quotes done and they sat in the middle price wise. We were very happy with the service they provided us. We had some issues with getting furniture out of the old house and they persisted and also a sofa that wouldn't fit in the new house and again they persisted. Really happy with the people that they sent round, very polite and gentle with our stuff. Would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you.

Reads Removals service was second to none. The staff were helpful, friendly and professional from start to finish. We were initially given a quote for a moving date that fell through but weeks later we got back in touch with a new moving date - with fairly short notice - and the quote did not change. We were also not as prepared as we would have liked, due to a death in the family, and were a bit worried about it. The removals men were fantastic. They quickly found out what we wanted to do and started work with little input from us. They were packed up very quickly and unpacked on the other side
