Great job by city moves again.

Used city moves last week and they were great. The lads were early, each of them introducing themselves so polite. They worked in an organised and efficient manner. They were really respectful, took care of our property and put covers down on the floor.
On reaching our property they patiently waited for us to get the keys and did as much as they could to ensure they were ready to unload as soon as they could.
I have used city moves twice now, would use them again and would certainly recommend them to anyone.

Long-distance move from Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan to Guildford, Surrey

Expenses.

To start with, the gentleman who came for assessment beforehand was a lovely person, very polite and helpful. During the process of moving, all the guys were very professional. But, I contacted the company 3-4 days before the moving date to let them know the I will get the keys by 3 pm. the lady on the phone, Tracey, was really rude and unhelpful. She thought that it was a late notice and I should have told them earlier. I've tried to explain that I didn't know that until the day I informed them but she insisted that they will start moving 8 am and any delay I should pay 90 pounds/hour. it ended up that I paid 180 extra. so I am not really happy.

Long-distance move from Llandysul, Ceredigion to Hailsham, East Sussex

Amazing removals.

I cannot fault City Moves. From start to finish they accommodated all my changes ( Covid). The guys on the day smiled and whistled their way through a very challenging removal, we had a storm and they just carried on through. We had a 6 hr trip to our new house, our stuff went ahead and after sleeping in the van overnight our removal team turned up bright and early smiling as they unloaded into yet another challenging property.

I can honestly say they took all the stress away. It was the only bit in the whole house moving process that went smoothly.

I thoroughly recommend City Moves.

Move 29/11/16.

Although our lorry was delayed due to a motorway crash and we were worried about all the other things which could go wrong the move went very very smoothly, The crew were hard working and polite and it was evident that they knew what they were doing. Full marks to Jason & Terry. Would not hesitate to recommend this company's services. Also the back up services at this company were very good and the staff very understanding as we had to change dates three times.

Service cost: £563

Excellent Service.

We used City Moves on 29th July 2017 to move our house contents from storage to our new home.

There were 3 guys in a large lorry and accompanying van and they worked like machines! They were quick, efficient and very professional. All of our furniture and belongings were carefully loaded and unloaded and they also laid mats down onto our carpets to protect from dirt.

There was a difficulty with our road due to works being carried out and they worked to resolve the issue in order to gain access to our property. They were brilliant!

I would highly recommend City Moves for an efficient, friendly service.

Service cost: £600

Excellent Service and great value.

Excellent service!
I chose this company because their reviews on the internet were excellent and the price was superb! The gentleman that came to assess and price the job gave me confidence that it would be an easy move and the office staff were very helpful when I rang. The removal men worked quickly and efficiently to pack all my belongings into the van. They were polite and hard working fueled by cups of tea and a bacon sarnie.
When unloading they were amazing, getting everything up the stairs - a very difficult task! I would recommend them 100%!

Service cost: £650

Removal Company.

Organised and efficient from start to finish. Arrived on time for quote and on removal day, advice and guidance given on different levels of service. Quotation given within 48 hours and on the moving day itself, the removal men were helpful, hardworking and respectful. There were a couple of minor breakages but we packed our possessions.
Would certainly recommend and use their services again.

Perfect end to a stressful few weeks.

So friendly, efficient and professional from start to finish. The guys seemed to take no time at all to load up and then even quicker to unload the other end. There were no breakages or scuffs left on walls or doorways and all were mindful of not leaving muddy footprints on carpets etc. As things had gone so well and quickly the guys even offered to help put things together for me. I have no hesitation in recommending Citymoves to anyone. Thank you to everyone concerned xx.

International move from Bristol, Bristol to Barcelona, Catalunya

Outstanding Service.

I would like to thank everyone at City Moves for the outstanding service that I received with my move to Spain. City Moves came highly recommended, by several family members & friends so they were the first company that I called to offer me with a quote, after meeting the surveyor and speaking with the office staff, in detail, regarding the move I didn't even call another company,as I felt at ease with City Moves and the customer service that I received.
I would highly recommend City Moves to Anyone that is looking to move home, as I found that they were extremly helpful and their knowledge, was second to none.
When we arrived in Spain, at my new property we were met with many obstacles but the staff were unfased and worked around all issues, going way above and beyond their job description and all the while keeping a positive and upbeat attitude! This helped me get through a day that would have normaly had myself and my husband 'pulling our hair out'.
I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to all involved and have even passed their number over to my mother and father, who are also looking to make the leap over the waer to sunny Spain! :)
I thank you again and will not hesitate to recommend you to all that ask.
J Walters.
