Smooth move from first contact to final delivery

Smiths came recommended by friends. Our experience backs up the recommendations. All contacts with directors, office staff, and removal staff was professional and pleasant. Our constantly changing completion date was dealt with without fuss. Packing on Saturday was done very methodically and efficiently. On Monday our possessions were moved into a huge van and stored expertly by a team of four professionals with about 100 years removal experience between them. On Tuesday the van arrived in good time. Local experience help was hired. A team of two unloaded the van and put the goods on the lift. Another team of two emptied the lift and moved our stuff into our new flat. By about 1pm we were shaking hands with everything moved in. No breakages. No losses.

Your feedback is gratefully received. Our team is certainly very experienced and with that comes a service that you can rely upon. Distance moves can be quite stressful, which is why we aim to take as much of that away. Thanks for the team at F Smith & Son.

From first to last the service provided has been excellent. The team packed our stuff very quickly to enable us plenty of time to travel to Bury St Edmunds on 26th,and unpacked equally as efficiently this end. Thanks to them and to Lorraine in the office who was always helpful especially considering we were novices to the whole procedure.

Smiths came recommended by to friends. Changes to our completion date were coped with without a problem. Packing, collection and delivery were done professionally. Hope we never move again, but if we did we would use Smiths.

I was very impressed with the service we received from start to finish. The home visit for the quote was very thorough and I felt assured from that point that our possessions would be in safe hands. On moving day the team were on time and kept to time throughout the move although there was never any sense of us being rushed or that any request we made for things to be done in a particular way was too much for them. They were helpful, friendly, courteous and very careful with our possessions. The job was not complete until they checked with us that they had done all that they could and that we were satisfied. I would definitely recommend them.

As our title suggests we were more than happy with the service from F Smith & Son. From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with and certainly reduced any of the usual moving-day stresses. The management team were very efficient and professional when arranging our quotation and booking our removals slot. The removals team themselves were a pleasure to deal with and full of energy which made our moving day work like clockwork. I would definitely use and recommend F Smith & Son to anyone. A wonderful company.

We received honest advice and a competative quote. On arrival, Barry, Martin and Ian immediately put me at ease. They worked with speed and their experience & professionalism showed all the way through the move. We felt they went above and beyond our expectations and our expectations were high because our friend who recommended you, is very particular! Having been quite stressed preparing for the move we can honestly say we both enjoyed the move. We would definitely have no issues recommending them.

After a shaky start (confusion over the number of crew and start times, exacerbated by poor communication) we received an excellent service - quick and efficient packing and a seamless removal 2 days later at a reasonable price. Very nice packing & removal crew.

A friend of mine recently moved and recommended F Smith & Son when we had to find a bigger place. They came around and did a very professional estimate -- it was clear they were clued up. They beat the three other vendors price, too. My wife and I have accrued a load of stuff along the years, and they packed it solid in five hours. When it was time to move, they handled that with just as much professionalism and speed. They did things they did not have to do. They went out of their way to make our move as comfortable as possible. No way these guys can be beaten. If you try hard, you very well may match them. But, only just. I hope I never have to move again. If I do, it will be F Smith & Son doing to for me. They display patience and understand the pressure you go through when you are a link in a chain.
