Great old fashioned service, friendly old bloke always answers the phone and has a way about him that you just know you can trust. Great prices and you just pay for how long it takes

Two gentlemen helped move some things into storage as my partner and I were moving out and we couldn't have faulted them! Arrived early, very polite and quick on the job. Even helped load the trolleys at the storage unit for us and into the container! Took sooo much stress off of us as they clearly knew what they were doing and didn't have a problem with anything! Will definitely be recommending these guys from now on! Fantastic job! :)

We hired this company to handle our removal from London to North Essex at the beginning of Aug. Our removal men (Terry and George) were fantastic. It took so much stress out of the move having people who clearly knew what they were doing. Everything was loaded in the vans with care, and all of our stuff arrived in our new home without damage. There was a holdup with being able to gain access to our new home of over 1 hour, but the overall cost of 'One Man And A Van' (well, 2 men and 2 vans in our case) was still half of what the more 'old school' removal firms had quoted us. We recommend this company
