Barleycorn Removals Limited

Chris came to our property to provide a quotation for our house move. We were provided with several options to suit a range of budgets. We decided to go with Barleycorn Removals due to the thoroughness of the quotation and the excellent first impression. Chris and the team at Barleycorn Removals were punctual, conscientious, and friendly. Our belongings were moved with the greatest of care and the packing materials were collected at our convenience at a later date. We always had timely replies to emails and calls and the service was very good from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Barleycorn Removals, thank you for making our move as easy as possible!

Chris and his team at Barleycorn were excellent and I am happy to recommend. From the initial meeting, we were impressed by Barleycorn as Chris talked about environmental credentials (reusing, recycling and biodegradable covers). Chris's price was competitive and there were no hidden elements. He gave us confidence that he and his team would have no problems with the job.The move was done over two days and the team were very professional whilst also being very friendly and helped to create a relaxed atmosphere. The move was done very efficiently, and our possessions were really well looked after - including good wrapping of fragile items and paintings. Thank you.

Easy company to work with, very reasonable price, and the guys who came to do the move were very efficient and friendly. The wardrobe wouldn’t get down the stairs so they dismantled it and rebuilt it in the new place with no problems at all. I’d highly recommend them as the service has been top notch from start to finish.

Great service from Chris and the team at Barleycorn! They were able to book us in with relatively short notice which was appreciated. The team came to pack one day and move us the next, they were all very friendly and professional and very fast in getting the jobs completed. The move was completed with no damage to either furniture or the properties themselves. Fully recommend Barleycorn and would use again!

The principal of Barleycorn reviewed our furniture and effects for removal against a comprehensive checklist and options for the level of service that we required. He promptly provided a detailed timetable and schedule of actions, with each procedure costed. He described the specialist range of protective coverings that would be used, e.g. covers for mattresses, soft furnishings, electrical items, plants, etc. The team of five duly arrived and worked with speed, skill, and care, loading and delivering to a 3rd floor apartment and 4th floor terrace. The effort involved was demanding and achieved with a positive and good spirited attitude.

Chris and his team stepped in at the very last minute to help me after another company had double booked themselves and let me down. In fact Chris cut short a trip to meet my family’s need and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Barleycorn successfully moved my home contents from a larger house into a narrow 3 story house that didn’t quite fit the all of my furniture and belongings! Despite the rain and the amount of work involved the Barleycorn team were professional, calm, hard working, courteous and pleasant to be around all day. In terms of protecting my new home this team couldn’t have done more and took many precautions. To fit furniture in through tighter spaces the guys were prepared to remove (and replace!) anything they could such as handrails etc. I could not recommend this company more highly and admit I have never before felt such motivation to leave a review.

The team arrived punctually for my 2-day move and immediately engaged with their customer’s needs and priorities. Wrapping and boxing was carried out with a brilliant team playing approach, and their positive spirit working together was so helpful in easing the inevitable anxieties around the move. The next day the team arrived again in an upbeat mood. Boxes were placed correctly and stacked neatly on arrival; subsequently every single item was located and unwrapped intact. I have no hesitation in recommending them highly and send them a huge thank you for a job well done and for ensuring an otherwise very stressful process ran so smoothly.

Would definitely recommend - over 2 days they moved me from a big house to a smaller one with difficult access. The quote was very acceptable, and certainly not the most expensive I received, they arrived promptly on time and did an excellent job. All the packing was done with great care including special packaging for delicate items like clocks and canvas paintings. The men were professional, friendly and very understanding of what was quite a stressful move.

We had used Barleycorn for our own move last year, and hence had no hesitation in recommending them for our 70+ year-old mother, moving from London to Oxfordshire. As expected, the service was impeccable - polite, patient, efficient and empathetic service from an outstanding team, from every one of the movers and from the management team. The care which was taken whilst packing and moving was fantastic - great service from a fantastic local business. Thanks guys!

Chris, Matt and the team were excellent - from the moment we met Chris (owner) through to the packing up of a large house through to the actual move from Oxfordshire to Cornwall - and the unloading. Team were all hardworking, thoughtful & personable. Having now unpacked most things, everything in perfect order... and all at a reasonable price. We have no hesitation in recommending Barleycorn, and/or providing a reference.
