10 Last minute booking, great value for money

Amazing service, we booked this morning for this afternoon for a house move as we were let down elsewhere. They stepped in immediately and moved everything we needed to our new home. Extremely good value for money and I would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: DH1- TTony S

Thank you so much to the entire team at Gilesgate Removals. Absolutely fantastic service — I would certainly recommend them! They helped us move all our belongings out of storage and into our new home, and the whole experience was seamless & stress free! The team were genuinely lovely, working carefully and efficiently to make sure everything was transported, loaded, and unloaded with great care. They were friendly, polite, and incredibly reasonably priced. No fuss at all — they just got on with the job, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much!Verified reviewerJob location: NE47- SStephen B
