    Great, reliable service. Friendly people.

    Posted 15 August

    Chad and Stew were prompt, friendly and efficient. They brought a van of furniture from storage in Wiltshire to a flat in London. Everything happened as expected. Very good service. Very happy.

    Affordable but high quality service

    Posted 14 July

    DPS moved us from our very unique (3 storey, stone spiral staircase) teacher accommodation into our new house and did an absolutely amazing job. We had the packing and removal service, and couldn't believe how affordable it was. The guys were so friendly and lovely to talk to, and they were really careful with all our stuff. I wouldn't like to think how many times they had to go up and down those stairs, and they still managed to get everything packed by about 11am, then were gone from our new house just before 1pm. We will be recommending DPS to everyone we know!

    Moving house in North Dorset.

    Posted 06 June

    I have used DPS Removals twice now, in June 2022, and again in December 2023, to move house. Firstly from Iwerne Minster to Ashmore, and then from Ashmore to Child Okeford. Darren and his team did an excellent job on both occasions, and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the whole process of moving far less stressful. Although the moves were not long distance, they took great care of my possessions and properties, with not a single breakage or any damage on either occasion. Highly recommended, and if I move again I won't use anyone other than DPS. Many thanks Darren and team.

    3 days of packing and removing 5 bedroom house, and taken to new home

    Posted 16 April

    This is the second time DPS has packed our belongings, and moved us from a house to a new house. Reliable, easy to contact, Darren the owner didn't get irritated when our plans changed, stayed calm, which calmed me in a stressful situation. Hard working men and also, fun and good company. Made the physical side of moving easy for me. I can't recommend them more highly. Very organised company, also, a very reasonable price compared to the other 3 quotes I received the first time we moved. No breakages either! Thank you DPS

    DPS proved reliable and great value, working hard and with good humour throughout. They appreciated our challenges and sought to help where they could. I would definitely use them again.
