    Truly professional and fantastic removal firm

    Posted 21 April

    Truly professional company from booking the removal to the day of the packing and removal. The lead remover went far and beyond expectations to get extremely tricky furniture into the rooms they belonged!

    Ovi and the BMS team

    Posted 17 April

    Ovi and his team were magnificent. The conveyancing process was a long, drawn out nightmare for us but Ovi kept in touch on a regular basis over a period of 8 months, gently but not intrusively enquiring about progress held his price and then sent the most fantastic team of Cosmin, Esweer, Kaj and Norman to make the move (of 200 + miles). Nothing was too much trouble for them, they formed a courteous, polite, hard-working crew, working together as a team and knew exactly what they were doing and how to overcome any problem that arose, taking away much of the trauma of moving. Thank you all

    Dear Michael, Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. We know how stressful and prolonged the moving process can be, so we’re really glad we could support you throughout and provide some consistency along the way. Ovi and the whole team will be delighted to hear your feedback. It’s great to know their hard work, teamwork, and problem-solving helped make your long-distance move smoother and less stressful. We truly appreciate your trust in us over those eight months and wish you all the very best in your new home!

    Fantastic removal service from start to finish

    Posted 12 March

    I recently made a long distance move from London to Berkshire and BMS were fantastic from start to finish. Ovidiu gave me real confidence when he visited, followed up with a fairly priced, transparent quote. Pre-move communication was excellent and I had a dedicated team for the move led by Paul. Everything was so well organised, I’m pleased I went for the full packing service. Shout out to Paul, Mo, Harley and Cosmin who worked tirelessly in torrential conditions. Nothing got broken, impressively not even their spirits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BMS to friends and family - thank you!

    Great Team!

    Posted 11 March

    Overall, great experience! BMS were able to accommodate the exact date we needed at very short notice, which took a lot of stress out of the process. The team were brilliant from start to finish—efficient and clearly very experienced. They worked so hard while still taking great care with our belongings. Everything ran smoothly at both ends of the move. The team were really pleasant and friendly. Would highly recommend!

    Excellent Service

    Posted 27 February

    We were so pleased with the overall service provided by BMS that we are already planning to rebook them for the next phase of our house move. The booking process was quick & straightforward, including a useful preparatory video call; pricing was also very competitive. On the day, the team of 3 were hard-working, efficient & helpful, as well as polite. They didn't seem to stop until everything was done; nothing was too much trouble. Good quality packing materials were in ample supply; we did a lot of advance work but the team also gave great assistance where needed. We highly recommend BMS for
