Britannia Robbins

Our recent move was far from smooth as the completion date was changed several times but, thanks to the Britannia Robbins team, particularly Donna, we were finally installed. The packers were extremely careful and diligent, also very patient and helpful. Thanks particularly to Tony, Ben and Kieran. We can recommend the team at Britannia Robbins, as they all work to make things go as smoothly as possible.

We used Britannia Robbins to move us from Swansea to our new home in England. I cannot praise them enough for the job that they did. From organising the first visit to quote, to contacting the office with queries and then to the actual removal days themselves, all went incredibly smoothly. In particular the removal guys were amazing. They turned up on time, worked incredibly hard and were just sociable enough for it not to feel awkward. We moved during a heat wave, and unpacking into our new home was hard for us - let alone the guys doing all the work. But they never stopped, never complained, just got on with the job with a smile. They even took time to mend a bookcase that was rickety - above and beyond the call of duty. I would definitely recommend Britannia Robbins (the Swansea branch) to anyone.

Have recently had a complicated move involving lots of uncertainties and my house contents having to go in and out of storage. Paul did his utmost to sort out what was a stressful situation for me....and it couldn't have been easy for him...Thankyou Paul for your kindness and patience!! The crew were all great...they were back and forth on several occasions and were always helpful, polite and considerate. I would certainly highly recommend using this firm.

Britannia Robbins of Swansea were a pleasure to deal with and the removal was carried out very efficiently. Their administration and and point of contact Donna Davies was excellent, and the removal team of Steve, Levi and Chris were first class being courteous, very obliging and extremely efficient. We had excellent service throughout from an experienced family firm who ensured the client's needs were their priority. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend them.

We had our household effects in storage with Britannia Robbins for about a year and a half while we looked for a house. When we unpacked the cartons after delivery we found that the bulk of them had been ruined by water damage. Material and leather goods had red rust spots, some covered with white powdery mould and black mould, metal objects badly rusted, metal rims of lamp shades etc, and everything reeked of dank mould. As soon as we knew the extent of the damage we contacted Britannia Robbins sending photographs and requesting a claim form, we received no reply. Eventually after two weeks and two formal letters they replied by email to apologise and say they did not know what had happened. Following this we had one rather confrontational phone call from Britannia Robbins which ended when they put the phone down on us. After six months we finally agreed to an insurance settlement. Although, as this was on an indemnity basis it did not cover the cost of replacement. We are very disappointed in what happened and the way we have been treated by Britannia Robbins we would have expected such a prestigious company to have acted in a more understanding and sympathetic manner, not exactly a ‘Trusted Trader’.

The whole experience with Britannia Robbins was just great. From the outset they were polite and very professional. There was nothing that was too much trouble from the initial contact with Donna to shaking Marks hand as they left. Would highly recommend them to anybody. WELL DONE

Not so simple move handled professionally and very quickly. We moved from a 3 Bed on a main road with double yellows to a 4 bed in a tight cramped street and the crew were amazing. They had 90% of the items packed on the first day with also filing up one van in the process and the rest was packed with furniture that was dismantled on the second day. They have finished around 1400 on the second day. Aftercare service is just as great. Been told when ever we have finished unpacking be it in a week or month then give them a call and they will collect all the moving material. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Five stars.

I have successfully used Britannia several times in the past and this time was no exception. Britannia collected my home contents from Bristol, arrived on time, packed all items carefully with ease and left the same day to storage in Swansea. Several months later, the shipment was relocated to our new home, without damage as testament to the care and professionalism of their employees. I would certainly recommend Britannia to anyone, without reservation!

Very pleased to take delivery of a sofa using Britannia Robins to deliver a sofa through the exterior of a 2nd floor flat using their lifting equipment and operator team. The sofa could not be lifted up the stairs. The only option was through exterior sliding doors about 26 feet off the ground using Lifting equipment. The weather was poor on the day, but the job was very well managed by the whole team and successful and I'm a happy customer. Thanks

We came upon Britannia Robbins when our original shipper let us down. They was a little more expensive but well worth the extra expense to ensure that all my contents arrived in one piece. The guys expertly wrapped everything in the UK which ensured on the other side that not one piece was broken. Everything was still intact which included mirrors, big glass items, framed jerseys and delicate crockery, as well as my tables, chairs etc. The whole process was fantastic and the guys they chose in the US was also very good and so easy to work with. The paperwork was quite detailed, but this ensured that my stuff cleared customs with no problems whatsoever, and no extra costs at all to myself. I'm so glad that I chose Britannia Robbins.

I am over the moon with the service provided, Ben and Gerald moved me from Swansea to Barry, they were so professional, polite and could not do enough for me, it was made stress free for me and my daughter, at 78 yrs old it's a huge relief to me that the service was so perfect and went so smoothly, can't thank you enough. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Definitely a recommendation to anyone needing this service.

We cannot praise this company enough they were excellent.From the outset they were professional in every aspect and nothing was too much trouble.They we’re always easy to get hold of and answered all questions asked with clarity which gave great confidence. Their pricing was excellent and considering we had very many awkward large pieces very competitive. Their team of movers and packers were outstanding and could not do enough to please on both pick up and drop off. We highly recommend this company to anyone who is moving house.

We had amazing help from Andrew Robbins and his staff, he booked us in to move our household furniture into storage, everything was done promptly, efficiently and with no hiccups, lovely staff and very helpful. We would highly recommend their service, we know that our furniture is in excellent hands in storage till we have a date to move into another property, to which we know they will then deliver it for us. This is the second time Andrew has moved us and will always use their service.

1st class service. The team were punctual, supportive, very professional and nothing was to much trouble. The whole team were fantastic. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks.

Britannia movers did a great job. Fast and professional. Delivered earlier than expected. Highly recommend.

Cannot fault the professionalism and efficiency of the team that moved us. They were very friendly and went the extra mile to ensure our move went ahead smoothly. They did the job with good humour; this was important for us when dealing with a stressful situation. The move took place over two days, emptying the bulk of our furniture. This took the pressure off us; allowing us time to clean the house in preparation for the new occupants. We had an upright piano to move as well as some very large furniture, all were handled with care and respect. We had used Robbins previously to move us into the house we were moving from, we also had quite a bit of furniture in storage with them. Eighteen years later the service was just as good. We would not hesitate to use them again, in fact we would recommend Robbins to family and friends in the future.

Britannia Robbins made my move from Wales to the north of England smooth and hassle-free. The men carrying out the work were polite, very considerate and very hard working. I would have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Fantastic service, nothing was too much trouble. There was a very large house to be cleared and the men were first class, very friendly and also highly professional at the same time. I was guided through the process, communication excellent throughout. Would highly recommend.

We moved to France from South Wales and Britannia Robbins could not have made things any easier for us. They collected all of our stuff (that is, the entire contents of our house) at the agreed time and date, and the crew were all friendly, helpful and polite. Two weeks later, and again at the agreed time and date, they delivered all of our stuff to our new home in France. Mark and his crew could not have been more friendly and helpful- in fact nothing was too much bother for them. Despite the large quantity of stuff we had, and there were a lot of fragile items too, not a single item was damaged, from leaving our Welsh home, going into storage, and then being delivered to France. An excellent result! All of the staff we dealt with on the phone and face-to-face were a credit to their company- friendly and helpful at all times. I would highly recommend Britannia Robbins to anyone considering using a removal company. You will not be disappointed.

Britannia Robbins did a fantastic job of moving our house contents from West Wales to the Midlands. Once the contract was signed communication was rather slow but on removal day they arrived on time and provided a quick, efficient service with a friendly smile. Nothing was too much trouble and everything arrived safely, including the stuff in the additional vehicle that wouldn't fit in the first larger vehicle. I would certainly recommend them. The boxes and tape bought from Britannia Robbins were ideal for the job, strong and robust.

So glad we used Paul and the team at Britannia Robbins to move our house contents to France. They made the whole process Seamless from start to finish with their friendliness, constant updates and professionalism.....would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

We moved home on 27/10/20 and cannot fault the service we received. Every call and query was answered promptly prior to the move and on the day the staff work so hard but also kept us fully updated and constantly checked that we were happy with what they were doing. We hopefully won’t be moving for a little while but if we do again then I will have absolutely no hesitation to use Britannia Robbins again!

I had a very smooth removal with Britannia Robins from contacting to accepting the quote and removal, the men ( Mark and Peter) worked very hard to accommodate all my needs and fit the furniture to the new house, on top of that it was the cheapest quote I had among few similar companies. I definitely recommend them and will use their service in the future.

This is the third time I have used Britannia Robbins for helping us move home. The service from the start was excellent, Paul and the team kept us up to date to make sure the move went smoothly. The removals team were professional and courteous and handled our possessions with care. I would highly recommend Britannia for a smooth house move.

If you are thinking of using this Company to store your household goods, think again. They stored our goods following the sale of our house, whilst we looked for a home in Spain. When they delivered our property, numerous items were moldy, including our top-of-the-range Italian leather sofa (cost: £2100). They tried to fob us off with their recommended insurers, who, in turn, tried to fob us off with a settlement of £250. After several months of being ignored, I eventually had a direct settlement offer from Britannia Robbins of £40 - no, that’s not a typo - £40 for the damage that they caused. Britannia Robbins make a great play on the fact that they have numerous quality certifications for their business. Don’t be fooled. None of these cover the storage side of their business - hence the storage issues. They are therefore meaningless approvals when it comes to their storage service (for which they charged us £213 per month). Other customers have also reported similar instances of damp damage to goods stored at their facilities, so this is not an isolated case. When asked on numerous occasions why their storage facilities are excluded from their quality approvals, Britannia Robins refused to answer. Likewise their refusal to answer how the damage occurred and what actions they took to prevent similar issues in the future. When this issue was referred to Trusted Traders, they, too, did not get answers (that’s if they even asked the question). A Trusted Trader? 😡
