Removals.

Fantastic service at a great price; the cheapest of all the quotes I had. Communication was really good and reassuring with the job confirmed before hand. David was in touch letting me know of slight changes to pickup times due to traffic - perfectly understandable when travelling 300 miles.
The job was handled very professionally with great care, and the van arrived with plenty of blankets and rope for securing items. Large and heavy pieces of furniture were moved very carefully, up and down stairs with some tight corners with no damage to any decorations. 
My mother was pleased - which is a rare occurrence. I will definitely use this service again.

Fantastic job!!

Had recommendations from a family friend and after giving David a ring, getting the cheapest quote from 3 company's, we sorted a day for our move. Two really nice fellas arrived early (nicely surprised!), after a quick scope of the house they got promptly to work, efficiently and carefully. More than happy we chose first move to move house, we would really recommend to anyone!! Fantastic overall service 10/10 from me and the wife.

Nottingham to Southampton.

We were very impressed with the service provided by FirstMove. They were the only company to suggest doing the move over two days due to the long distance, packing everything on the first day and driving part-way to the new location, and unpacking the following day. Their quote was still the cheapest despite this. The work was done quickly but carefully, with particular attention made to wrapping the more fragile items. David and his team were professional and extremely polite throughout, and ensured the move went smoothly. Thank you. Katie and Phil.

House Move.

This was the second time that I used First Move, as they are so good! Would recomend these for any type of move, especially a house move. Excellent communication and details as what to expext on the move day. Very freindly, caring and understanding - which is what you want when moving house. Everything was carefully handled so nothing was broken or damaged. They will even make sure that boxes go in the right room, which makes things much easier. Fantastic people!

House removal within Manchester.

Excellent removals service for our small house move within Manchester. David came the day I made the enquiry to view my house and provide an estimate. The company offer a full packing service: pictures taken from walls, loft and garden shed cleared, wardrobes and clothes in fitted cupboards. Was impressed by the care and thought for example picking out our cat basket from the loft items in case we needed it and on arrival at our new house (in December) asking if the boxes from our loft labelled "Christmas" might want to be kept out. Professional and careful packing and labelling with a friendly and positive approach to their work. Highly recommended.

Moving with a young baby!

Excellent removals company, you need look no further! David and his team deliver excellent customer service from start to finish. I was due to be moving the week before christmas (With a 3month old baby I might add) which ended up being delayed multiple times, leaving us living out of boxes over christmas. David showed great understanding and kept in touch which was very reasuring to me during a very stressful time. He managed to accomodate my move with only a few days notice and got a great team of guys to me promptly on the morning of the move. Mark, David and Ben came to assist our family move from a second floor flat (with no lift) to our new house, nothing was too much for them and they even offered to help us rebuild furniture after getting our stuff in. They were very friendly guys who took great care of our belongings and they made what could have been a very stressful day, both stress free and even enjoyable! So a BIG thank you from us! I would definitely use this company again and would recommend them to any of my friends!

Service cost: £450

House Removal.

Ben and his team were fantastic. Our moving date changed three times in January and each time they accommodated us - thank goodness !  My husband is not good at DIY and I was so relieved that as part of their services our beds and wardrobes were dismantled and rebuilt at our new home. I would 100% recommend Firstmove they were professional, careful and reasonable. Many thanks Jean & John.

Great Manchester Branch!

Ben & Dave arrived on time to meet/collect my belongings from a storage firm. They were very professional,  well mannered/polite and nothing was too much trouble for the men. Ben & Dave moved all my belongings/furniture "Without" any damage! I couldn't speak more highly for this firm, they are also "Excellent Value" for money. 10/10  I would recommend this firm and I will use them again!

Service cost: £112

Take the hassle out of moving.

We moved house two weeks ago and were recommended Firstmove Removals by a friend. David popped in to see us a month or two before the move to give us an idea of how many boxes etc we would need and ran through how everything would work on the day. He then dropped by a couple of times to give us more boxes when we needed them. David and his team arrived nice and early on our moving day and were absolutely fantastic. They took all the hassle out of moving and it was worth every single penny. I found them to be reasonably priced and they really did do an excellent job. Despite us asking them to stall moving our furniture in to the new house until we'd had a full clean done - we still had everything in by 3pm. They took beds/wardrobes/drawers to pieces and rebuilt them (the worst part of moving we find) in no time at all. Polite and professional and nothing was too much to ask. Thanks again to all three of you for your hard work, I'll recommend you to everyone!
