Downsizing? Use Firstmove.

The two Davids at Firstmove are absolute stars.

We just had to do a move for my Dad to a one bed retirement flat which involved sorting through and clearing out vast amounts of stuff he'd hoarded up over an entire lifetime in a 3 bed semi. We hired a small van ourselves so that we could do dozens of runs to charity shops / tip. Firstmove provided labour only to help us as and when needed over two weeks with the house clearance exercise, and their transport and labour to move everything bulky / heavy across to his flat in one day.

The whole process was made much less stressful than it could have been for myself and my Dad through their professionalism, flexibility, reliability and courtesy shown at all times.

Highly recommended and very reasonable and clear prices.

Moving day.

We were recommended first removals by a friend , and we weren’t disappointed. What a brilliant team . So thoughtful and polite , and very well organised . They were a pleasure to have around . Very efficient , very careful with our belongings , and very thoughtful towards my husband who is not a well man .
We were impressed with their handling of all the garage and gardening stuff , being put in a separate van to house stuff , therefore keeping everything clean . Our challenge of many many garden planters and pots did not defeat them , and precious plants were unharmed . All furniture etc arrived intact and into the room they we’re designated . A great team led by David , and who I would highly recommend .

House Move.

We would highly recommend First Move to anyone looking at removals. David and his team did a fantastic job on the day. The whole team were friendly, efficient, considerate and hardworking.

Stress free removal.

Just used Firstmove to move my mum into a one bedroom flat. Great team. We hired them for a '2 hour mini move', as we weren't moving far. They even managed to drop off a few items at my own house on the way. Very efficient, careful with the furniture and polite. Nothing was too much bother and the move was stress free . Very pleased with their service and would definitely use again.

House move.

 I have now used Firstmove on three occassions and each time they have been professional, punctual, polite and above all careful ! I would not hesitate to recommend them, in fact I have to friends who have also been delighted with their service. Firstmove really took the stress out of our move. 
Our move date changed twice at short notice but this wasn't a problem for firstmove they understood.
David and his staff were polite and uniformed, they even took apart our beds and rebuilt them at our new house.
Many thanks again for a great service at a great price 

A bIg thank you to David & Ben

My relocation to London.

I decided to use First Move for my move to London as my parents and my sister have both used them in the past and recommended them to me. I can honestly say that First Move are a fantastic company and really did take the stress out of my move. Initially I was a bit worried about my furniture being damaged due to my previous removals company scratching quite a few pieces of furniture but David and Ben were really careful and wrapped all my furniture in blankets in the back of the van resulting in not a single scratch or mark to be seen on my furniture! I would really recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a removals firm for their move. Hopefully I will never be moving again but if I do I will 100% be calling them again.

Many thanks again,
Alex.

Fantastic guys.

Dave and Ben moved me in August, my third move in the last 18 months and my first experience using First move (Who were recommended by a friend of mine). They are by far the nicest and most professional removal company I have used and I would certainly recommend them to anybody who is moving home! They were more than happy to dismantle and put back up my wardrobe and two beds, which I really appreciated as the removals companies I have used in the past told me they didn't get involved with dismantling. Overall I was really happy with First move, they were absolutely terrific and made my move go incredibly smooth. 
Definately recommend.

Great service from FirstMove Removals!

We booked David and his team for my parent's move from Manchester to Rugby and included 2 months storage (Aug/Sept). From the initial quotation to delivery of the goods, it was a great and painless experience. Communication was excellent and the packing of the items by the men and delivery was first class which allowed my parents to relax and concentrate on other aspects of the move. Boxes were delivered before the packing service which allowed my parents to pack their personal belongings. The price charged was very resonable considering there was 2 months storage also included. If you're looking at removal firms within Manchester, definetely give FirstMove a chance - we did and had no regrets! A big thumbs up from us!

First move.

I used this company 6 years ago when moving house. I have contacted them again repeatedly over time and would not ask anyone else they are quiet and polite speedy and effective. They have a flexible approach to the job and specifically came to help me  move furniture around in the house ,when all that was needed was man power and not an actual removal job they charge a reasonable price for the work they do.

Service cost: £40

House move.

I highly recommend FirstMove Removals. We have moved on a number of occasions over the years, sometimes using one of the larger national companies, but never has the experience of moving home been as stress-free as it was with FirstMove. David and his team were reliable, efficient and professional; their quote included all packing materials and they offered excellent value. Their calm good humour saw us through the day.
