What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Furniture collections, household removals, student relocations and tip runs make up the work that customers describe most often. Steve, who is named in the majority of accounts, earns consistent praise for turning up at the agreed time and for responding to enquiries without delay, one account describing a van arriving within a couple of hours of the first call. The care taken when loading is a point that comes up frequently, including an awkward oversized sofa that had to be manoeuvred over a first-floor balcony, and several reviewers confirm that belongings reached the destination without damage.

Jobs are characterised as calm and methodical, with a late change of moving date absorbed without difficulty and a long-distance trip of roughly ninety miles completed without incident. The availability of two vehicle sizes is mentioned as useful for both single purchases and whole-house loads, and the proper disposal of bulky waste is noted. Friendliness and steady communication between booking and delivery feature repeatedly, as does the pace of loading and unloading. Repeat bookings for later furniture moves and additional tip runs recur throughout the feedback.

Fantastic service! He was with us within 2 hours of our call, and helped me move my student daughter to the new address. Friendly, efficient, trustworthy - would use again, and recommend highly 😊

I hired Steve to help me move a flat pack Wardrobe that I couldnt fit in my car. Great service all around, quick, punctual and really helpful despite the Wardrobe being a lot heavier than expected. Can’t recommend enough if you need to get large items moved 👍

Steve and his colleague Les just did a grand job moving our lumpen huge sofa out of our house. Hugely appreciative as it can only go in and out over the first floor balcony! Steve was very approachable and informative discussing the job and has the necessary status to dispose of the sofa legally. Job done quickly and professionally. Would definitely use Steve’s service again. Recommended.

I booked Steve and paid £110 to help my son move his belongings and furniture out of student accommodation and into storage 1.5 miles away. Whilst my son could bring all the boxes down, we specifically agreed that Steve would help him from the 12th floor with his furniture. This didn't happen and my son was left to struggle single handedly with getting drawer units and other items of furniture downstairs. He helped put a couple of boxes in the van but otherwise just sat in the van and let my son lug the rest in himself. It took 1.5 hrs and so for an hourly rate of £73.33, I expected a lot better. Edit following owner response: 1) I have location proof from my son's phone that it only took 1.5 hrs. You arrived at 11am and returned at 12:36pm. 2) We discussed the double yellow lines outside when booking and I directed you to the parking 350ft away so you could park there whilst you helped get the furniture down and then my son would wait with his goods outside whilst you collected your van to load. Traffic wardens are well aware of the situation with loading outside and as long as vehicles aren't left for extended periods, they are happy to accommodate. 3) You were specifically booked to help move the furniture - do you deny never having done this? Do you deny leaving him to struggle bringing chests of drawers downstairs himself? 4) Helping to load his belongings into the storage unit is part of what you were paid to do. Listing this as if it is justification for what you didn't do is ludicrous. There is absolutely no fabrication in my review - I have no reason to speak anything but the truth. You have charged an extraordinary amount, by anyone's standards, to be little more than a taxi service. I am very pleased to hear my son was polite and grateful, but that is no reason to ignore or get out of assisting in the very things you were employed to do. You would do better to apologise than attempt to justify a poor and overpriced service.
