Long-distance move from Chafford Hundred, Essex to Dover, Kent

Superb Removals

A big thank you to Dave, George and Kieron for moving our "small" 2-bed house & overflowing garage from Essex to East Kent in the worst weather possible. We were really impressed with the speed and efficiency that the team used in getting everything packed up and relocated. The communication from start to finish was without fault and Dave updated us with ETAs for the entire process.

We also had items in storage, which were packaged carefully & professionally

Would 110% recommend Reliable Moving & Storage for any move, whether near or far.

Thank you guys so much for making a stressful day more bearable.

Long-distance move from Chelmsford, Essex to Chelmsford, Essex

June 2022 - Chelmsford move

I would highly recommend Reliable Moving & Storage, from our first contact with them through to collecting boxes and packing materials after the move they were friendly, courteous, professional and as their name suggests reliable. We lived in our house as normal up to the day before our move, the packers arrived the day before our move and boxed up everything and the following day we moved. Everything went smoothly and there were no damages or breakages.

Reliable Removals made it a stress free experience.

Poor customer protection

Their IT system was hacked recently and we keep receiving scam letters and emails with our original email content asking us for money , etc. Its very bad reputation for them and I don't know what other information hackers stoled from them!!!

We are also extremely upset with our software IT company & have now changed to a more secure network provider.
We can only apologise for the inconvenience & hope nobody was financially affected.

Long-distance move from Maldon, Essex to Harrold, Bedfordshire

Very helpful with a complicated stressful move

Dave and the crew went above and beyond when we had a long distance removal that culminated with us sitting on the drive at 5:20 still without keys. Dave's team, unloaded as much as possible into the garage. We finally go the keys with 5 minutes to go and Dave's team where magic, they moved everything for a second time, from the garage into the house, saving a lot of heartache, stress and pain carrying sofas on my own :-)

Repeat customer - delighted as always

David is extremely professional, thorough and helpful. On moving day (7th in ten years - don’t ask!), he and his team were so efficient it was remarkable. My contents were in storage with Reliable Removals for nearly three months. Everything was placed into my new house with care and attention. Storage rates were reasonable and the moving costs were competitive.

Superb Removal Service

This company provided me with a very smooth removal. They were ultra RELIABLE as their name suggests, turning up on the time promised to me. The guys were fast but took great care with all of my belongings. Nothing was damaged. They took a lot of stress out of my moving home! I highly recommend this firm who went above and beyond with their service. They even helped me with a few bits and pieces when I got to my new home. Please don’t hesitate to use this company.

Long-distance move from Basildon, Essex to Spalding, Lincolnshire

Long Distance Move with Storage

Dave and the team assisted my partner and I with a short-notice move collecting everything from a 3 bedroom house and storage unit, storing it all for 3 weeks and then delivering it all in a single day to our new address 3 hours away. This is the second time we have worked with Dave after he carried out a single day move for my parents. On both occasions the accuracy of quotations and timescales, level of service and communication we received from Reliable was outstanding. The team that both collected and delivered our items were extremely hard working, respectful and careful to ensure that things weren't damaged and that they were put in whatever locations we asked, no matter how awkward. I have already recommended Reliable to others and will continue to do so in the future given the way I've seen them operate.

Special thanks with a stressful move

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you. It was so stressful and difficult as we had to exchange and complete on the same day and I wanted to let you know that I appreciated you and your team’s patience, kindness and consideration and all your very hard work to get the removals done – past your working hours! Out of all the people I have come to contact with you have really made a positive impression and helped us so much. My special thanks to David, Will, Lee and fourth colleague (sorry can’t remember his name) we could not have done it without you so thank you.
