Smooth removal

The removal was arranged at short notice; it went smoothly and on time. The move was efficient and fast. The crews both in England and France were fantastic, helpful and friendly. What could have been a nightmarish move turned out to be relatively easy. This is the second time we used Bournes and we would certainly use them again if we decide to move back to the UK.

We are sopleased that we chose Bournes as our removal company. All staff were professional and helpful at every step: none of our questions were trivial. The removal teams (we moved two properties into one) were courteous, hardworking and put us at ease during the, what could have been, very stressful time. We are very pleased to have chosen such a professional company to move us.

Everyone we dealt with was very professional. Keith was the guy who came first - honest, straightforward who gave us the confidence to trust what he was saying. He gave us a competitive quote too, which is what we paid in the end - no extras. We would choose Bournes again and would strongly recommend it to everyone.

This move was over two days in smaller vans, because if narrow difficult access to the destination. The team was lovely and mainly very competent and experienced. Apart from the usual family ‘stuff’ , we have some unusual items of furniture, pictures and books++. Nothing fazed them...they did not complain about anything, even concrete garden items, stone slabs etc! I think that they were pleased though that another company was moving the pianos! One item was broken, so one star below the maximum. A very good job, thank you so much.

Moving after 32 years in the same house was a daunting prospect, so my wife and I were not relishing the thought. As it turned out, however, things could hardly have gone more smoothly as regards the move itself. The four guys involved were all hard working, efficient and friendly and clearly keen to do a good job for us. Thanks to all of them and to those on Bournes’ admin side too.

Quick Move.

What could have been very stressful was made so much easier by Bourne's. With only a week between exchange and completion they did everything possible to alleviate the pressure and potential chaos of moving. Even coped with 3 over excited dogs thrown into the mix. Polite, cheerful and efficient. Nothing broken or missing. A touch pricey, but worth it for their services.

Initially great communication. I asked a lot of questions. Difficult to co- ordinate completion date in London with entry date in Scotland 6 days later but it was well organised. My belongings were protected. All my art work including large canvases treated with care. Nothing was damaged.Nothing was too much trouble. All staff were friendly and put me at my ease especially Graham who drove the lorry up to Scotland. Excellent service at every stage.

An absolutely amazing team. Would 100% recommend Bournes to anyone looking to move. Great customer service throughout and the team on the day were phenomenal. Moving can be stressful but these guys definitely took some of that stress away with their hard work and patience and, for that, I can't thank them enough.

First-class service all round from an ace removal team - Darren, Peter, Dean, Lee and Frank - for a BIG move (three large lorries), and worth every penny. Highly recommended. Don’t settle for anything less. Gary & Dawn :)
