They appeared professional but were appalling, damaging our antiques and pictures. They would not stay past 4:30pm when our access was delayed to 4:45pm, we were left with the clothes we stood in for nearly a week. We were then charged nearly 2000 to get our possessions back. I would not recommend them.

We were delighted with the professional service we had over our 3-day removal with Britannia Sandersteads. All furniture and boxes were handled with care during the move. The were some tricky large items that needed particular care and attention and the team did a quality job. The Team Leader, Martin, was superb and led his teams in a very calm and effective manner. I would strongly recommend this excellent BAR company. Thank you all for making a complex move possible! We re-used Britannia Sandersteads a month later, subsequent to the above feedback, for moving of a large and heavy item from one

After our call the surveyor attended a few days later and during their visit advised us on the methods they use on the day packing and conditions of service. This was very helpful as we were exchanging and completing on the same day. The removal staff had a can do attitude and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were very happy with the service and would highly recommend Britannia removals.
