10 House Removal
Posted 20 July
Brilliant, funny and super helpful with a great group of people to move with
The team arrived at 8:00 AM first thing in the Monday morning and just went to it. Six guys worked in Unisom really polite lots of energy. Lots of laughter. Just got on with it. No job was too much. We got a four bedroom three out house, double garage lots of garden ornaments, heavy stone machinery, and they just smashed it out the park. We were downsizing, but they were happy to help and move things around for us at our new house would happily recommend these guys good value and just a very candid attitude. Thanks very much Paul and Team. They did happily go and get another truck e in totalJob location: RG810 House Removal

A great move west
An excellent removal company! Paul provided a very competitive price, which also included packing on the day we moved. His crew arrived on time, were extremely efficient, helpful and very professional. The whole packing and loading was completed in less than 4 hours! As we were moving to Devon the moving in process took place the next day. All our furniture and belongings arrived safely and in perfect condition after the long journey down the M4 and M5. The move in was equally efficient as the move out. I can 100% recommend Paul and his team!Verified reviewerJob location: RG3110 House Removal

Moving Home
Ferriday and Alder completed my move for me and the whole experience was painless and completed very quickly, once I had the keys. Would recommend them to anyone and it was money well spent.Job location: RG3110 House Removal

The guys were FABULOUS, arrived on time, efficient and extremely Professional. Vehicles (we had 3!) were all loaded up and transported and built at the new house.
