    sofa relocation

    Stuart, responded to my request within minutes, so I was pleased with his eagerness. The price was fair (and a lot more realistic than other quotes). Communication and flexibly of collection times and dates was positive and he managed to arrange the collection quicker than expected, due to his proactive approach. When we eventually met, he was a very likeable young man, full of enthusiasm for his work. I would definitely recommend Stuart again and I will be using him again when needed. Thank you. Vince

    Moving House

    Stu and his team were extremely helpful and took all the hard work and stress of moving from me! Everything got to A-B safely! And then taken into our new home! Appreciated the reassurance on my ‘fragile’ items as he could see me panicking! But all was safe! Would use stu again and highly recommend :)

We are a small local removals and clearance company that has been running for 40 years.My name is Stuart Barter, and I am the 'son', it was my father’s business for 35 years and he built up a reputation for his cleanliness, punctuality, speed, customer service and his ability to take care of your items like they were his own, plus he was a piano specialist. I worked for him for the last 10 years that he had the business and learned everything I know from him, and not only did I learn how to do the job properly, I learned that the customers satisfaction is all that matters.If you are local to Worthing you may know the business as 'Peter Barter Removals' but I changed it to 'Barter & Son' when he passed the business on to me, people may wonder why I called it Barter & Son if it is only the son? There are two reasons for this; As it was my father’s business for a very long time and he built it up from scratch I wanted to keep his name alive and out of respect of what he has achieved, and also after what my father taught me over the years while I was working with him, I wanted that to live on in the business, and will still keep to the excellent standard he always gave.

We have over 15 years’ experience in handling extremely expensive items and in the last few we have moved items such as 80 Inch TVs and £10,000 paintings which have all made it to the destination safe and sound.I carry out all the jobs I quote myself, which customers find to be helpful as they are not trying to communicate with different people in the days leading up to their move.

The most important thing to me is customer satisfaction, that means if extra jobs need to be done on the day of the move like putting together furniture or extra pick ups of other items on the day it is never too much trouble.The services we can provide:Full House ClearanceLoft/ Garage ClearanceFREE Metal CollectionSingle Item Clearance
