As a local removals company, what makes us special?
Like most removals companies we could say our staff, our vehicles or our systems.
We could say it’s because we have traded for many years!
We prefer to let our previous customer’s recommendations and testimonials to do our talking. We have more checkable testimonials and recommendations than any other UK mover.
No matter how large the move we can cope.
Our vans are able to reach most properties easily without the weight or height restrictions an old fashioned removals pantechnicon may face.
Being able to get closer to your home with our removals vans means we don’t need to “park up” in a local layby to transfer your furnishings onto a transit vehicle to “shuttle” your goods which could cause security issues and potential damage.
However the main reasons people choose us is because of our competitive prices, the quality of service and our GREAT reputation.
Could this size of removals van make it to your old or new address?
With our modern homes having more and more “fitted” furnishings most families simply don’t require an oil tanker size removals van blocking off the road and upsetting the new neighbours.
