Great service - Professional and customer focused
Fantastic - From the first email contact with a very reasonable quote to the delivery, Ivor Kitson was a professional giving full attention to me, the customer. The van he used was clean, smart and well looked after. My property was treated with care and consideration. For a small job, like mine was, I was treated like royalty. If you don't believe me, give him a call or email and you too will quickly understand how customer service should be done.Verified reviewerJob location: M1610 House Removal

Kittson's removals and transport are a Family run business Est over 35 years.
I have personally been running the company since the beginning and take charge of or attend 95% of all removals with one or two of my fully trained team.
All of our staff are fully trained in all aspects of the removal industry and will guarantee to take the upmost care of your furniture.
We can provide a suitable vehicle specific for your needs ranging from the small transit van to the medium sized 3500kg Luton van with a tail lift, to the larger 7.500 kg removal truck
No matter what you need moving we can send the right removal truck for you.
We use specialist insurance backed covers for your suite and put your mattress in a special bag to keep it from getting marked in transport.
All of your other furniture is fully protected using top quality removal blankets when in transit and secured using high quality removal straps.
When your furniture arrives at your new home we will put everything in each individual room so all that you need to do is unpack the boxes and put the kettle on.
We mainly do the bulk of our removals and deliveries from the Manchester / Bolton / Preston /Wigan / Warrington / Cheshire / Lancashire and north west area but we do provide a nationwide service when needed.
We have just started a very popular London route going down to London and surrounding areas the second and Fourth Tuesday of the month with deliveries going down to the south of the country and picking up on the way back to Manchester and surrounding areas.
This gives our customers in the South of England the chance to experience the cheaper northern prices.
Our services
- Full and part removals (Local and nationwide)
- Single Item removals ( nationwide delivery service )
- Heavy item removals up to 500 kg (using specific trolleys and vans with a tail lift)
- Piano removals and disposals (Environment agency disposal license)
- House / Garage / Shed clearances.
- Commercial removals (Office and factory relocations. We have worked with many larger national and blue chip companies).
- Contract work undertaken ( same day and next day delivery available )
- Office and factory clearances ( we have a trade waste license so we can legally dispose of your unwanted items )
- Furniture dismantling and erecting service.
Please take a look at our photo gallery at the many varied removals and deliveries that we have done in the past. We specialize in heavy item and awkward removals that many other removal companies will not take on.
We carry full goods in transit insurance and full public liability insurance (subject to our terms and conditions) So you can be sure that your furniture and personal effects are well protected in transit and onward journey to your next destination.
We provide Free estimates and when you book your removal we do not take deposits we also do not charge for cancelations we just ask for as much notice as possible so that we can re arrange another date for you.
We just ask for payment in full when the removal is completed. Terms for payment are cash or debit / credit card. We have a card payment machine with us.
We also can take bank transfer but payment must be received 48 hours before the start date.
