    Excellent removal company

    Posted 27 January

    They were the first and easiest company to book a quote in with. They arrived when they said they would and gave a reasonable quote. For the actual move, they were incredibly helpful, flexible and moved us brilliantly. When things had been forgotten, they stayed later to help move them. I was impressed with the range of additional services they offered as well - taking down beds and items in the garden and remaking them, as well as helping with the admin of the move if you need it. I was very impressed with both admin and the actual move and would recommend them time and again.

    Complete 2-bed Flat Move

    Posted 24 December 2025

    Booking with Alexander James was seamless. On the day, the two movers were attentive, careful, professional and clearly knew what they were doing. They packed up my entire flat and had it at my new property in no time at all. The most impressive part was the dismantling and reconstruction of furniture in rather tight spaces; as well as careful handling of expensive and delicate objects — covering/packing them in the van. They cracked on and did a spectacular job. The quote was competitive and service impeccable. Genuinely I feel the best in the area — keep up the great work!

    Amazing removal service

    Posted 01 October 2025

    Amazing service from start to finish. Phillip was so helpful with being flexible with move dates. John and the team packing and moving us were just brilliant; professional, friendly and made the whole process stress free and run smoothly. They went the extra mile to make sure our beds, sofa and tv were unpacked for our first evening, after a long drive to our new house. We could t recommend them highly enough.

    Long distance house move

    Posted 08 August 2025

    Fabulous service as we relocated over 200 miles. First to respond, first to quote, and we were delighted with the service all round. A more helpful and likeable crew we could not have asked for. We very much appreciated all that each and every one of the team did in the days leading up to the move with the packing service, and the move itself. Nothing was too much trouble and all done with consideration and good humour.

    Good, tidy and polite.

    Posted 08 August 2025

    Firstly I found the quotation was realistic. There was good communication between myself and the company, particularly as we had to reschedule the moving date. The day of the move went well. The three guys were very polite and hard working. They laid down runners to protect the flooring and even dismantled and reassembled a wardrobe that wouldn’t go up the stairs at the new house due to it being a different design. They even put our bed back together, headboard and all. I would highly recommend this company for your removal.
