Cannot recommend strongly enough Used this company because of personal recommendations and didn't get any other quotes so no comment on comparative costs but service was second to none. Not worth cutting corners with precious possessions Efficient Simple and pleasant When you are moving everything is so stressful but this part was super smooth

Phil, Jem and Fletcher arrived nice and early to start our removal, they took a great amount of care with our furniture etc, nothing was too much problem for them. They worked so hard on what was a very hot day. Following morning they arrived early again , having left at 0500 for a hundred mile plus journey. Again superb handling by the guys, this time with the Boss Matthew instead of Fletcher. They had us all settled in by 1300. We were so impressed and would thoroughly recommend Schofields every time. Well done lads, great job, much appreciated.

Having been badly let down by a different company (supposed to have turned up late am but arrived late pm despite several stressful phone calls to office & then finally turn up in a useless small van) we needed action as our daughter was supposed to be out of her flat the same day. I rang Matthew from Schofields at 5pm thinking they would be closed and he pulled out all the stops to get a Luton van into London for 8.30am the very next day. Absolutely amazing when you think I didn’t really give them much notice. I cannot recommend this company enough. We have used them in the past and recently in February last for our house move from Suffolk to Essex. Absolutely amazing.

R & D Schofields moved me to my new home last week and I can not thank them enough for their help and support. Sam, Jason and Matty were careful, helpful, and above all efficient and managed the whole process with professionalism. The team in the office was also very helpful and this made my whole moving experience a stress free and relaxed process from start to finish. Thank you guys for a brilliant service.

This company is simply outstanding. We were very apprehensive about what we knew would be a difficult move and the other removal companies we approached didn’t seem to get it. Matt was totally professional, reassuring, and realistic. He actually came to our flat to check thoroughly what was needed - all the others did it online. He quoted promptly and planned the work meticulously. We could tell from their whole approach that this company were a number of notches better than the others, plus the fact they’ve been going over a hundred years. Communication was exemplary. They always returned our calls and were flexible as our exchange date kept changing. When it came to doing the actually job, the team worked brilliantly well together - two days of packing and one to load the van. I am so impressed by the care and attention that they put into looking after our things. Everything was carefully and respectfully packed. They worked hard and with great sensitivity. Nothing was lost or broken and they were brilliant at placing things in our new home. Always they worked with friendly good humour and what seemed like superhuman strength. Thank you so much to Jason, Barry, Jem, and Matt. They made a potentially horrid drudge, memorably positive. We’ll always remember Schofield's and highly recommend this brilliant bunch of people.

They could not do the original date due to our late confirmation but the one a week later went faultlessly over the two days. Phil and his crew were pleasant and capable. The three-piece suite would not fit in the first-floor apartment but they remained cheerful despite having to remove doors and feet in an effort to ensure it was not possible. Provided polythene covers when storing it in the garage. Would definitely use them again.

Schofield (unknown) worked professionally and efficiently. If unsure of the location of furniture/boxes they always asked. They were helpful and calm on the actual moving day. They took extreme care over our possessions and nothing was broken or lost.

My experience with Messrs Schofield was excellent, no problems at all. I hope I don't have to move again, but if I did I would certainly give them a call.
