Heaps have helped us to move twice, and if we ever need to move again I would choose them above any other company. The service was fantastic, the crew were amazing and I would highly recommend.

This company is worth every penny they charge, they moved us 260 miles nothing was any trouble they were courteous and got soaked through to the skin unloading us with out any complaints. They have answers for any problems. Can't recommend them highly enough.

My Sister was putting her property into 7 storage boxes. Very easy to access the storage boxes from the main warehouse entrance.

I cannot recommend Heaps highly enough. They moved us twice in a year - the first time in deep snow, the second time going back to pick up a large dog kennel in the van after they had worked on the house move all day. Nothing is too much trouble, the guys are calm and professional at all times. The office team are also superb, working with us to accommodate our need to move at short notice. I actually delayed my move so that Heaps could move us, they are that good.
