The Best Ever…..
We used Groves for 2 residential moves. The first move was from our large 15th century Hall House where we had lived for 21 years. A third of our items went to our temporary (2 years) accommodation while two-thirds went into storage. Then, from our temporary accommodation, we moved to our present home which meant adding the items in storage to our ‘new’ home. The Groves ‘system’ was extremely efficient and easy to work with. The management team were very cooperative and helpful. The removal van workers were all extremely friendly, cooperative and caring. Groves Removals and Container Storage are the most 100% excellent team that we have been fortunate enough to use and interact with ever. (Having moved many times in the UK and abroad)

Professional Friendly Highly Efficient
We haven't moved in 23 years and were a bit rusty on what really matters for a removal company. We were recommended to DC Groves & Sons as a reliable local company. We were not disappointed. From the first meeting of the team (also the patience from the office in agreeing a date with the uncertainties of a long chain), especially from Andy the lead, we were guided through the process and they gave us immediate confidence. The move took 4 days with a weekend in between. Access was not easy and all issues that arose were dealt with humour and effectiveness. We could not recommend them more. Thanks.

Very professional and friendly service
DC Groves moved our furniture and contents in a local house move. They packed up all the furniture we identified to be moved together with virtually all the contents of the house. Everything was delivered in good condition with considerable care taken to install the furniture in our newly decorated and carpeted new house. Their service was always professional, friendly and helpful and carried out with a smile. The crew was very flexible and accommodated late changes of mind about what was going to be moved and where things should be put in the new house! Their estimate of time and resources needed for the move was very accurate. I can highly recommend DC Groves & Son and will use them again.

Removals and storage professionally done.
DC Groves moved the furniture from my previous house in Berkshire. They packed up the whole house for us and stored everything for well over a year. They moved some to a home in Derbyshire for my parents and then finally for me to our house in Hythe. Everything (including two pianos) was delivered in pristine condition. Their service was always professional, friendly and helpful and carried with a smile. The crews were really and flexible and accommodated a couple of changes of mind about where things should be put! They took the stress out of moving. I can highly recommend them and will use them again.

D C Groves was recommended to us on Facebook. Well, what an amazing Company. Nothing was too much trouble, they were courteous, professional, fun, punctual, informative and kind. They moved my sister after over 30 years living in the same home. They took ALL of the stress out of it and made the day memorable for all the RIGHT reasons. I would highly highly recommend them and will definitely use them myself once I find my forever home. Thank you D C Groves. Clare and Aimi x

Excellent, friendly service
We were moving locally and had been in our previous house for 12 years. The team packed and moved us. It was our first time using a packing service and it was amazing. The team turned up the day before the move and by the end of the day everything, apart from essentials, was packed and gone! We didn't need to prepare anything. Almost fully unpacked now and nothing is broken, so great care taken when packing. The entire team, including the office, were friendly, helpful and efficient. Not planning on moving again for a LONG time, but would use them again if we do. Thank you so much, it removed some of the stress that comes with moving.

Taking the stress out of moving
We recently relocated from Kent to Berkshire, downsizing from a three storey townhouse to a first floor flat. Due to the timing of our sale, we needed to store all our furniture and belongings for several months. From start to finish , D C Groves provided a thoroughly professional, friendly and efficient service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. All our furniture and artwork was carefully packed and stored, and the same care was taken at the other end. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all at D C Groves!

Removals
We had them empty our house for a new flooring and decorating project. We were out of the UK for the duration of the project, including the removal, storage, and return of our belongings. They were prompt, careful, and meticulous, even though we the homeowners weren't there. Overall, we're very satisfied with their work. The crews were very professional, and the office staff were friendly and communicated promptly. We had a couple of fairly significant glitches with them: we were double invoiced once, and they didn't take pictures of the rooms in our house so they'd know where the furniture pieces should be returned. In both cases, they made good on the glitches in a professional and responsible manner. I can live with mistakes as long as the trader corrects the mistakes promptly and courteously, which this trader most certainly did.

An efficient, personalised, family firm, well trained and courteous staff
In very early 2021, after 40 years, notwithstanding the 'Pandemic', we 'downsized' and under the personal involvement and supervision of Groves, large amounts of sentimental and valued 'stuff' was efficiently and securely packaged, for storage, into D C Groves own 'storage' where, until recently, it remained. Much of it has now been delivered 'out of storage', 23rd Jan.'24, to our home in High Suffolk. Our 'unpacking' of boxes reveals the skilled efficiency of the original packing, masses of paper and bubblewrap, and most importantly - no breakages nor damages to fragile items, pictures and paintings. We compliment Anthony and Karen for the Firm's staff training, courtesy, and consequent operating efficiency.

The three operative team who moved us were very professional and helpful throughout the whole move, nothing was too much trouble if asked to move any item from room to room at our new home. The office staff were also all very helpful and the director who carried out the survey and quoted for the move came across as very knowledgeable as to the logistics of moving.

This was a fairly small move, however we came unstuck with a large cupboard and a small staircase. The 2 guys tried at least 6 different ways to try and get it up the stairs. They really didn’t want to be defeated but sadly it was my fault for not measuring correctly. Super helpful, very professional and amazing team work with these two guys.

A Move Made Easy
The team from Groves were brilliant from the first inspection right through to the final move and collection of all the boxes and packing paper. We opted to use the packing service given the amount of valuable glass, china and objects that we currently own. We also opted to use the storage facility to ensure that we moved out on the date we had chosen and moved to our new address once we had completed work on the empty property. In all cases the team were always on time, quick, careful and efficient in their work and very pleasant company around the house. The cost was also excellent value all round. There has been no damage to any of our property throughout the move. Selling and buying houses is incredibly stressful and by the end of the process we were exhausted, so it was really important that the move did not add to that stress. We can honestly say it was a pleasure to have Groves work for us and the move was as easy as the time 36 years ago when they moved us to the house we have just sold.

D C Groves and Son proved to be professional and flexible with my ever moving dates. I needed to store items before a move into my new property and I found the storage quote and conditions very good. Both moves were punctual and efficiently completed by friendly accomodating staff. The only negative was since the access was difficult on the second move the movers had only 1 trolley availible for two people and so the unloading would have taken longer than necessary had we not helped out. I cannot fault the service done with a smile and delivered exactly as quoted.

Like all house moves I was not looking forward to the upheaval, stress and chaos that moving house inevitably causes but this was not so with what I experienced with D C Groves & Son and particularly Andy and his amazing team of men who actually carried out my move. Apart from their efficiency and professionalism Nothing was too much trouble , no task beyond them and all requests were carried out cheerfully and extremely efficiently I have never experienced such hardworking men, who in my opinion went well beyond anything I was expecting in the care and packing up of my possessions. Everything went like clockwork, with might I add at times a great deal of humour, laughter and fun too, which is what is needed at this stressful time They were a joy to have around I cannot find enough words to praise them.

This is my 2nd move using D.C Groves, and I would highly recommend them. The team arrived on Thurs to start packing up & loading and finished packing and loading Fri morning, I was in the new house and fully unloaded by mid-afternoon. I totally didn't consider the fact that the new house front and internal doors were smaller/narrower than the old house, but the team rose to the challenge of getting my couches over the garden fence and in through the patio doors and again with the office desk having to be dismantled and reassembled (which weren't part of the moving plan) - but nothing was too much trouble, super helpful, friendly and cheerful, for me they made the whole move stress free and I just needed to point to where the furniture/boxes were going and make tea which was the least I could do.

We hadn't moved house for a long time and were naturally concerned about how difficult it would be. DC Groves were really helpful and it soon became apparent that they knew precisely what they were doing and nothing was too much trouble even when it came to lifting furniture through an upstairs window. They just took everything in their stride and knew what would work. They took a lot of care loading, unloading and moving stuff around - nothing broken or scratched which was a relief as we packed ourselves. This is probably down to the loads of advice and guidance they gave about how to pack in to boxes safely. They were only a bit above the lowest quote we received so we couldn't have done any better.

They then had a very difficult journey to Portsmouth but were with us the next day bright and early as promised. They wrapped up our delicates very well and we didn't have any breakages. A couple of the boxes did get wet which couldn't be helped but the team waited while we checked the contents and they were happy that no damage had been done.

Moving is no fun !!!! Tenterden Removals/D C Groves made it easy...
We have just moved from Kent to Dorset with Tenterden Removals /D C Groves. The quotation process was fast and efficient and they provided a very competitive quote. Moving is not cheap but we decided to go with the packing and move option. Well worth it ! The move out day although stressful was alleviated by a prompt arrival as agreed. John ( our move manager ) and the great lads got on with the packing and worked very hard. They were cheerful, courteous and packed our belongings with the utmost care. On move in day, after a very early start for them, John and the team arrived on time. They quickly and carefully moved all our belongings into our new house. Nothing was too much trouble. Having not moved for 20 years and approached the whole process with some trepidation. We were very pleased with John and the team and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Just one learning opportunity, from the quote to the move day we had sent a couple of e mails re the status of the exchange as we did not want to lose our 'slot' and later also making slight amendments to the items we were taking. We did not receive much of a response so we would recommend better and more friendly communications via e mail or phone from their head office. That said as we now sit in our new home, we are pleased we chose Tenterden Removals/ D C Groves.

Excellent professional service
I received an excellent service from this reputable company, from the initial assessment through to the day of removal. Andrew and his two colleagues Andrew and Gavin were both professional and personable, collecting my belonging from storage to my flat in two days and done to the agreed schedule. They packed my belongings carefully and went the extra mile to ensure my move went smoothly and all while dealing with an unreasonable neighbour! I would highly recommend this company.

Great removal firm
The quote came through very quickly after the initial visit, and removal to storage included multiple smaller vehicles because of restricted access which saved me a whole lot of aggro. On the day the guys handled it all very well. When we eventually got to the other end, again restricted access but 2 guys with 2 trucks made light work of the whole thing, getting stuck right into it even after a 4-hour + journey.

DC Groves were excellent...from the first request for a quote, right through to completing the move. The guys turned up on time to pack the day before the move, and this level of service continued throughout. They were polite, professional, exceptionally hard-working and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything in the house and garden was moved into the new house in perfect condition. I couldn't recommend DC Groves highly enough.

I would recommend D C Groves removals as they made a very stressful time as easy as they could. Our move took a lot of planning as we moved from Kent to Devon over three days. When we arrived at our new home in Devon on moving day [ late in the day] the removal team had already arrived and had unloaded the garden and shed items so did not waste anytime. They returned the following morning to finish unloading and they were very careful with all they moved. I would recommend them to anyone.

The quote then arrived quicker and better value than expected with all the information clearly detailed. On the day they arrived promptly and the move went very smoothly with the two guys very professional and polite throughout. I'd been recommended the firm by a family member who had previously used them and I'd agree that they are a great team to work with.

Highly efficient service
We engaged D C Groves & Son to assist with our move from Kent to Lincolnshire. Much of the stuff was packed by us, so it was primarily a case of collection, placing into the lorry, transporting to Lincolnshire and delivering it to our new property. D C Groves had previously attended our property to assess requirements, and provide a quote. This was very competitive and accepted. We were then kept regularly informed regarding the move date, and time we could expect them. They arrived on time, and proceeded to load the lorry. There were two guys and they were charming. Loaded the lorry meticulously, taking every care required. Items that had not been packed by us were put into protective coverings, and great care taken. On the day of delivery to our new house, they telephoned to advise arrival time, and were very prompt. They were again extremely efficient. We cannot praise the service we received more. It was excellent. We would highly recommend this company.

Outstanding in every way!
What an outstanding company! Our move took place over six days, shifting a total of 5,500 cubic metres (twenty of Groves’ wooden containers) into store on some of the hottest days this year. Anthony and his crew had such an incredible can-do attitude, always finding a way to solve every challenge. The move from store to our new home, several hundred miles away, was accomplished over another six separate days; this time Groves had to negotiate winding lanes, tight turns and torrential rain. Still their lorries got through and the unloading was performed with great care, good humour and in complete safety, respecting all Covid-19 precautions. What makes Groves outstanding is their consistent and reassuring communication and how they accommodated our ever-changing completion date. First class in every way!

D. C. Groves (Tenterden Removals) moved all my possessions out of my house in East Sussex 18 months ago and have stored it until Monday when it was delivered to me in my new house in Dorset. They have been very pleasant to work with. The removers themselves were amazingly efficient - no scratched doors or furniture - and all done very quickly. Now I am unpacking things, I can see how well they have been packed and stored. I can certainly recommend this firm

Anthony and his team did an excellent job of moving us from a 3 bedroom house to a smaller bungalow, we hadn’t moved for 25 years so it was quite a challenge with so much stuff and not to mention all the pot plants. They were very professional and good humoured. Very helpful team and so glad I opted for the packing of breakables option - really took the stress out of moving. Thoroughly recommended.

Stormy winds, lashing rain - and still D.C.Groves did a fabulous job!
At first sight, asking D.C.Groves to move us from our old house into a new apartment might not seem challenging - the two properties were barely 100 yards apart! However, on the day of our move a storm hit the UK, and Anthony Groves and his team had to contend with howling winds and lashing rain. Deeply unpleasant... Despite this, they carried out the move with consummate professionalism, and - remarkably - great good humour. All aspects of their work were highly satisfactory, but we were particularly grateful for their care in packing up our collection of wine glasses - not one was broken. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending D.C.Groves for removals. Professionalism of the highest order.
