Barleycorn Removals were efficient throughout the removals process, and the team were good to work with. They took care of everything, and the packing was done well. They worked hard and well together, and helped to make our move as trouble-free as possible. We commend them highly.

Barleycorn provided us with a fantastic removal service - they were always cheerful, well organised, and the standard of packing and care over the removals was really outstanding. It was when we asked them to move more than they were expecting that they really helped us though - and they really went that extra mile to help us and made our move a success. Chris and the team worked really hard to make our move a success - we were so glad we had them on our side.

I was recommended Barleycorn from friends and we weren’t disappointed. The team were very professional and polite, carefully packed up things like beds and TVs and cleared the house quickly. Nothing was too much trouble the other end and we were settled quickly. Would definitely use again.

We would highly recommend Barleycorn Removals for it's professionalism, kindness and thoroughness. Everything was wrapped with great care.

Thanks Chris and the team.

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.

Did not get much warning of our moving date and needed to book a removal company with little time. Barleycorn were able to fit us in and were friendly and professional throughout. The move was completed quickly and I felt our possessions were treated very carefully. The team were all very friendly. Reassembly was done very well too. Very pleased with the service and would definitely use them again.

Chris and his team were amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move went smoothly. I can't recommend them enough. They were professional, kind and did a wonderful job. Faultless. All of our furniture was wrapped and transported with care. We moved over 200 miles. The team worked so hard. It was a long day for them however they did it with a smile. Highly recommend Barleycorn.

We used Barleycorn Removals for our removal, they were very professional, clean, tidy and very polite. they made our move out day stress free and dealt with everything, boxing up, moving out of one property and then moving in to the new property making sure all the boxes went to the correct rooms. Barleycorn were recommended to us and we can highly recommend them and had a great experience.

Removal
Following a telephone call to Barleycorn, Chris immediately arranged a home visit. It was an experienced and extremely helpful assessment of what needed to done. Usually companies ask you to empty garden pots but Chris said that this would not be necessary. A real bonus as I have some very heavy pots. On the day of the removal the three men went about their task with a great deal of experience and were polite and friendly. When they arrived at the other property the keys had not been released to me and there was a great deal of confusion with the letting agent, who were very unhelpful. However when Chris heard he asked the men to remain and see the job through. Which they did and remained calm and patient. In the last few years I have moved 5 times and without a doubt Barleycorn has been the most efficient, friendly and fair company that I ever dealt with. Evan to refusing to charge me more despite the fact that the removal men having to spend the whole day at the property. Chris rearranged his rota to accommodate the mix up caused by the letting agent. I do not think you will find a better run company than Barleycorn Removals. They were absolutely marvellous.

Great service from start to finish. I always find house moving very stressful but Chris and the Barleycorn team did everything they could to make this part of the process as relaxed as possible. We opted for the pack and move option and are really glad we did. The day before our move a team of 5 arrived on time, laid down floor protectors before anything else and got to packing. They individually wrapped cups, glasses and anything fragile, dismantled beds and had our whole house contents in the back of the vans in about 6 hours. The next day they met us at our new property, (over 200 miles away) when they said they would. They again protected the floors in the new house and had our beds rebuilt and the boxes in all the right rooms in under 4 hours. Not a single thing was broken in transit and I can't recommend them highly enough.
