100 mile house move from a fourth floor flat to a three storey house
IQ removals were incredible in supporting us in our house move from London to Lincolnshire. We had the added complexity of living in a two level, fourth floor flat with no lift coupled with restricted access. I was genuinely in shock when everything was loaded up and ready to go by 10am with everything unloaded in our new house (100 miles away!) by 2pm. The team worked flat out, were super professional, demonstrated some impeccable negotiation skills to secure vehicle access to the door to our property and not one item was broken or damaged in the move. Could not recommend them more highly!
Move house
Absolutely super removal company. We were recommended them by two other house that moved. And now we know why. Great guys to work with !
Furniture removal 4 bedroom house Long distance
Excellent service, efficient and friendly team. All items were well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Fragile items were treated with the upmost care. Highly recommend.
3 bed flat to 5 bed house
Not a happy customer. Quote was received after a video call. Team arrived on time, and seemed to have things in hand. Didn’t bring wardrobe boxes I ordered and two of the team left to get boxes. They hadn’t brought enough van space, first vans left for new house at 1, was told another van would be with us at 3.15. It finally turned up at 5.30, and finally left our new home at 10pm. 14 hours later! Russ left me to communicate with drivers and never checked in that everything was okay. Delivery team left boxes on ground floor meant for too floor. Disappointed and very stressful

Reply from IQ Removals
Absolutely hold my hands up at this job did not go well. On a very temporary basis, we lost 2 vans to breakdowns (all fixed ) and several staff members down (sign of the times unfortunately), causing a rather difficult job for all concerned. Such a job has never happened before and I will make absolutely sure it doesn’t happen again. Would like to advise this was a pure one off and would guide customers to our other 200 positive references. Back now fully staffed and with all vans. Have communicated with the customer during and post-job to apologise.
House move from Bucks to Hampshire
Russ, Mish and Das were fantastic. They really took care with all of our possessions. The team arrived on time and went to work straight away. The unload process was just as efficient. Really good value for money. Quote was great, people were great and move is now complete.
Removal from Milton Keynes to Reading
I could not have asked for a better removals experience. The guys were fantastic - very friendly and helpful. They arrived ahead of schedule and patiently waited until I was home. They worked tirelessly moving us from Milton Keynes to Reading with no issues whatsoever. They reassembled our beds at the new property, plumbed in our washing machine and unloaded the van to all of the rooms we asked for. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Particular shout out to Drew who had to put up with us for two days but all of the lads were excellent. Do not hesitate to use IQ.
