Thank you for providing such an excellent service! I just wanted to let you know that the lads have been brilliant and they are a credit to the company. They have been so obliging and good natured and made the move so much easier than I anticipated. It was sad to see them leave this morning. We had a bright sunny day yesterday and I think they caught a few rays! Not so nice today so excellent timing. Anyway, just thought I’d let you know! Kindest regards, Lin Nightingale

An absolute pleasure to put our house move completely in their hands. Nothing was a bother, everything went so smoothly with the loading of our possessions, they were so thoughtful and caring, on time and very polite. The waiting about for keys was a different matter. The removals wagon was sat outside our new home for over four and a half hours, we didn't know if things were going to happen before 5pm or not and the men just sat and waited without a bother. Mr Ingram himself was getting a bit worried for us and kept intouch throughout the afternoon, he was very sympathetic about the situation, even asked if we had somewhere to stay if the keys were not handed over and completion didn't go ahead. Eventually 4.50pm we got the keys, full steam ahead and Mr Ingram kindly sent another 4 men's out to us to help get us in and sorted out in no time at all. We were so grateful to them all for what they did, can't thank them enough. We have no intention of ever moving again but if we do Ingrams would be the firm to move us. Our deepest appreciation Tracey and Kevin Turvey..

Ingrams moved us from the South East of England in November 2022 to Bishop Auckland, and finally into our refurbished property in March 2023. The job was quoted and priced remotely and the move-out went very smoothly. Most items went into storage, although some went to the new house / building site, or our short term rental. Items were finally retrieved from storage in March 2023. The team members for both moves were all very helpful and polite - which is so important - at what is a super stressful time. Some furniture bolts went missing in the move, but these were quickly replaced. Staff in the office are also really helpful. Customer service was great and we'd thoroughly recommend Ingrams.

We moved house earlier this week and would thoroughly recommend Ingram’s. They were excellent from the first quote to the final clearance of our empty cartons! They were very reassuring confirming the removal dates and process. Emails were answered promptly and although there was uncertainty over the exchange of contracts for our sale/purchase, they were patient and understanding throughout. On the removal day, the lads who packed the lorry were fantastic - they were very considerate and professional through the whole removal process. On our move-in day, the lorry arrived at our new house at the agreed time and the lads unloaded very efficiently. They were careful and tidied up as they went. They were absolutely brilliant and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is moving. A brilliant job!

We’ve had Malcolm & the team move us & our parents numerous times, they never disappoint. Which is the reason we didn’t think about using anyone else to move house. The team are professional, friendly, easygoing, worked their socks off for 2 days solid, with any help & request’s never a bother for them. We would definitely recommend them for a stress free as you can get house move! Thank you very much.

This is the second time I've used Ingrams for a house move and wouldn't consider using anybody else. Sure you may get cheaper quote for a "man with a van", but trust me, the stress isn't worth it. From the initial call and a chat with Malcom, it was only a matter of hours before Cameron came over and gave me a valuation for the job. Boxes, garment carriers and packing paper were all included in the price and were delivered the next day. On moving day itself, the guys turned up at 9:00 and had the whole place packed up within 2.5 hrs. They worked like trojans! There was a delay in getting my new keys and even though it meant they would finish late, there was no negativity at all from them. The guys had to dismantle a wardrobe to get it out of the house and reassembled it (better than my original job) at the new house. They very helpfully placed the heavy furniture exactly where I wanted it to go in each room and even plumbed the washing machine back in. They never stopped moving from the moment they started packing/unpacking until they were done. They are an absolute credit to Ingrams. Moving house is a pricey business, but the benefits of using a reputable firm like this where everything is well managed and cared for and you don't have to stress about getting out of a house by a certain time is worth its weight in absolute gold!

I used Ingram’s Removals last time I moved house, 19 years ago. They are not the cheapest option, but offer excellent value for money & I had no hesitation in engaging them again for my move on 31.1.24. Malcolm & Ian, the business owners, are friendly & accommodating. Their employees, without exception, are professional, friendly and efficient. This is a company of people who make a difficult, stressful time much more straightforward. Highly recommend!

Ingrams were very accommodating and professional from start to finish, especially working to quite a tight timeframe before Christmas. They provided a very reasonable quote in the first instance and we were grateful for the range of boxes and packing materials available. On the day of the move, the guys did a fantastic job (in atrocious weather!) and everything was transported in one van load. Even taking boxes up into the loft was no trouble. Malcolm and Ian have years and years of experience and they really know their business. I can honestly say that they made the very stressful process of moving house so much smoother and manageable, I can recommend them wholeheartedly!

Ingrams were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Malcolm was very helpful and flexible when we were organising the moving date, kept in regular contact and responded quickly to emails. On the day of the house move, the team of men who came were so helpful, polite and good humoured; nothing was too much trouble. They were efficient but not in a hurry, taking time and care to do a great job. We would not hesitate to recommend Ingrams, their service was worth every penny.

Ingrams looked after us from start to finish. They packed up all our belongings into 8 containers for storage whilst renovation work was done on our house. Everything was stored perfectly and then returned to us over 2 days last week, after 2 1/2 years. The men were so polite, good humoured, patient and exceptionally helpful. This reduced the stress levels enormously for which I am so grateful. No question that we will use this company again and will recommend them to friends and family.

If you are moving house and want a stress free first class service please use Ingrams. They are a very special company and entirely focused on putting their customers first. We used their services to move house on 5th September and used their packing/moving service. All our belongings were carefully packed up the day before our move. We didn't even have to pack a teaspoon. My husband is disabled so the packing service was the best option for us. Our belongings were really looked after and securely packaged. Bigger items which were a struggle to get through doorways was also not a problem. We had no marks on our walls in either our old or new house due to the diligence and special care taken by all Ingrams employees. We don't normally leave reviews but we knew this had to be done on this occasion. Every employee was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. As for Malcolm Ingram, he is such a lovely man who talked us through the whole process when we first made enquiries and then when he made a home visit to meet us and review what needed to be moved. We didn't get our new house keys till 3.45pm which ended up being a long wait for us. Ingrams were ready to go immediately and at one point we had about 6 lads in our house making up furniture and beds. All items were placed in the correct rooms which has helped us enormously. This is an amazing business who strive to make moving house more of a pleasant experience. Thank you so much.

We'd like to say a big thank you to Malcolm and the Ingram's team for their friendly and ultra professional services. We recently moved home and a business unit from London to Bishop Auckland, so not a straight forward move. From the first phone call, Malcolm was super helpful and always took the time to listen to any concerns we had. Simo, Ray and the guys on the ground were amazing, very professional, hard working and put us at ease at what was a very stressful time. So far in our unpacking process, not one thing has been broken! We would definitely recommend Ingrams to anyone moving in the future.

Ingrams have carried out house removals for us and other members of our family a number of times over the years and we have always been very pleased with their service. They recently provided a long distance removal at very short notice and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how it was managed. It was efficient and quick, all possessions were treated with care and respect and the staff were very polite , extremely accommodating and worked hard to make it all happen to plan. We wholeheartedly recommend Ingrams and wish the business and its staff continued success in delivering a first class service.
