Report
Britannia helped us move house a couple of weeks ago and would recommend them to all family and friends. Stressful day that was professionally managed with nothing being too much trouble and helped to put our minds at ease. Well equipped vehicles and protection for all valuables that has confirmed we made the perfect choice in appointing Britannia. Had various other quotes, a few cheaper however they did not instil confidence as they were reluctant to physically survey our home. Do not self-assess your needs as we got ours totally wrong.

What an invaluable service provided by Britannia - we literally could not have done this without them and whilst there are many others that do removals, I have to comment how extremely efficient, courteous, hardworking and professional these guys were. They took care of everything and packed up loads of extra loose bits, dismantled furniture, wrapped mirrors, wrapped mattresses and moved everything without one single bit of damage. They worked like machines and unloaded everything into specific rooms at the new place. Money well spent and I would not hesitate using them again. Very polite and

We used Britannia Cestrian on 1st Sept for our house move from Chester. They were very professional and efficient from start to finish. We were visited by them under strict covid rules in order to gain an understanding of our requirements and to provide a quote and were dealt with as human beings throughout the process. Delivery of packing materials was timely and when I ran out of packing paper (I packed myself due to covid restrictions) they were on the ball sending more out. We had a provisional date which kept moving but along the way they did their best to help us. Finally moving day arrived

Britannia were very good. We had a 2-day pack and move package and they turned up on time, packed everything efficiently and got it all moved quicker than i've had in the past. Especially considering they needed to socially distance due to Covid it was especially impressive, i'd recommend them in the future. My Client ID was 97349 Newham.

We chose Britannia as they seemed the most professional of the three removal companies that we approached. They were clearly experienced in moving long distances across the country. They did not disappoint. The removal men could not have been more helpful or considerate. Our new house does not have the easiest of access but they coped admirably. I would thoroughly recommend them - indeed we have done do to our nephew and his wife who are moving south soon.

Moved at the end of April. Packing up was very smooth - the two guys worked steadily all day until the job was done. Didn't get keys to the new house until 4pm (!) due to some unforeseen complications with payments from our buyers solicitors. The three guys from Britannia Cestrian were absolutely brilliant and worked incredibly hard to get all our stuff unpacked from the vans. A big thank you to them. Thoroughly recommend the service.
