I was very pleased with the service F Smith & Son provided. That ran from the individual who surveyed my flat and moving needs, the drop off of the packing materials, the two individuals who moved my boxes and furniture out of my old flat into my new home, and the office staff who processed the payments. Very courteous and efficient. Very glad I took the recommendation from a friend who had used them earlier this year.

I highly recommend F Smith & Son for packing and removals. From the survey for the fee estimate, through to the move itself, everyone was very helpful and professional. They went beyond the service offered by large national firms which was invaluable to me. They made what could have been a very stressful experience very straight forward and easy.

We used F Smith for our recent home removal. The 5 lads who loaded the vans on 11th January were really efficient and friendly and took great care. The vans were unloaded to our new home on 15th January with equal efficiency and care by 3 operatives. All were very helpful, flexible, polite and cheerful. The whole booking and execution of the service was painless and very professional. I would definitely use Smiths again.

We have used Smith and Sons before on our previous move and had no hesitation using them again for this move. We were not disappointed. From the moment of booking through to arranging the final collection of packing materials everyone that has interacted with me has been the utmost professional. The move went without a hitch, no damage to any walls or our possessions and it was completed quicker than expected. I would highly recommend them to others as a reliable, trusted and high quality moving service.

I had a complex move having to pick up items from another removalist, with whom I had had an altercation, and deliver to my residence. The items in question were to be hoisted three floors down to the lowest floor. It took a while to agree a date because I had to resolve insurance issues with the previous removalist. F. Smith and Son was a pleasure to deal with right from the start to the end of the move. Their admin team (Lorraine) was incredibly professional. The quote was thorough and they took their time to understand the terrain. Mr Smith's communication was professional and timely and consistent as we were delayed in confirming a date. The moving crew on the day were skilled, professional and polite. They knew exactly what they were doing and got on with it with absolutely no drama. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and using them again myself.

We had an excellent service from F Smith & Son, comprising removals from house into storage, storage, and removals from storage into new house. The pre-move assessment and discussions were very friendly and professional, and very understanding of late changes and options. On the day, our removals team were efficient, tidy, and very careful - psying close attention to our wishes, while often offering suggestions. And between dates, we had clear, simple and regular communications. At all times, inspiring confidence that our possessions were being well looked after. Thank you for a superb service, which helped managed our anxieties at all times.

We were very impressed with the estimator. Compared to the other companies we approached, we felt that we were treated as individuals. We were not some part of a process that required us to sign endless disclaimers. The office staff were also friendly and efficient The removal men themselves were also excellent - nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend F S Smith if you have a house removal to undertake (we went for the full packing service and have no regrets - it was the right decision for us).

Our move went smoothly thanks to the fantastic guys who did the removals. It was a bit worrying as our stuff was going all the way from Surrey to Yorkshire the day before we did but everything run like clockwork. The guys loaded up in a professional and timely manner and a friend let them in the house in Yorkshire and said What great guys they were. They treated our property with care and respect . I will not hesitate to recommend you guys in the future. Thank you so much for making a stressful time that bit easier.
