Britannia Beckwith of Brighton removals

Just before Covid struck in 2020 we were preparing to make this huge move. Having got some estimates we chose Britannia Beckwith and are so glad we did. We decided to go with the full packing service and although we have a lot of things, it wasn't long until the biggest lorry available was fully loaded and we were spending our last night at our old house. In the morning we set off in our car and were kept fully advised where the lorry was at all times and in fact they beat us there! The unloading was just as smooth. All the operatives were efficient, helpful, polite and felt like members of the family by the end of it.

We paid over £2 k for this firm to move us 0.5 miles in West Sussex , we moved with our folks into a larger house with annexe , firstly each team hadn’t communicated with each other so neither knew they were meeting at one house after ! A key was snapped in our lock , and they hid it from us ! Damaged my mums mattress , terracotta garden cat broken , scratched an oak unit , my sofa bed was filthy as not covered up as promised ! No wardrobe boxes either as promised when given a quote so our clothes were thrown in boxes , folded , screwed up etc ! They harped in about being members of the BAR and how they take care of your items by covering them etc ! What a load of broken promises !! For a lot of ££££ !! And then when you complain they fob you off ! Ignore your calls / emails like you don’t matter ! Cameron Ballard promised to look into and sort out the issues ! 5 weeks on and no change ! They didn’t even bother to come and pick up the boxes they were supposed to after we moved as avoiding any contact at all ! Quick enough to take our £££ ! Avoid at all costs !!

The move was made even more stressful by a very unprofesional office manager called Simon, who harasses, threatens and bullies you over the phone on moving day as soon as the lunchtime deadline passes, to pay extra money to him over the phone or he threatens to send your goods off on the lorry without being delivered. Be warned, if your completion time is beyond the 12 o'clock limit, this company want extra money for their men to finish the move. Even when you offer to come to the office the following week to pay them, he refuses and demands your bank details over the telephone, which I do not give to anyone. He has placed the company in the most unprofessional manner possible. The removal men accidentally broke and damaged furniture, the estimator took photos, and still they have not contacted 17 days later. The removal men were nice, and obliging but the management is appauling, with manners to match. My recommendation, never use them, they do not deserve your trade. Their quote was not cheap, but I thought I would be receiving a professional service. I did not, far from it. They trade on belonging to a large franchise but do not have the professionalism to match the name. The company were previously Beckwiths of Brighton, before they joined Britannia. .

When Cameron told me our pack and move would require 3 days and 2 lorries I was surprised, surely we don't have that much stuff! How wrong was i, the pack and move took 3 long days with 6 people a day, 2 lorries and 1 and a half Luton vans. Everything was packed, and delivered in one piece and we have found everything too! The staff were excellent, very polite and courteous and never moaning about the endless stream of stuff. We can even still remember their names after a month. Taff, Lee, Chris, Marshall, Geoff.. thank you guys, you made my wife and small children happy which is ne mean feat. I don't want to move again for a long time but if I did I would use this team every time. Thank you.

Brittania stepped in when our original mover let us down. The price was fair and they arranged for a five-man team to make sure the move could be done in a day. The team was great - turned up on time, were relaxed, kind and very reassuring.They worked well together and worked hard-they stayed until the job was done properly. Wld use them again. Suggest you make sure to ask that they bring enough covers for the carpets or put on shoe covers. And if you have a piano, that they cover it properly.

Thank you , very professional, made our three day move so much easier .

From the start when Zoe came to see us ,she gave us confidence that the stressful process of moving can be made easier with an experienced removal company.

This was exactly what happened we couldn’t praise the company enough.

Your removal men were professional, friendly ,hard working nothing was to much trouble .

Excellent service wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
