    Stress free, Caring Removal Company

    Posted 17 December 2025

    Don’t go anywhere else, this company is truly amazing. My elderly parents moved from their house of 31 years to a flat. The whole process was made stress free by three super removal men - Ryan, Andy and Kali. Nothing was to much trouble, we can’t thank them enough. Also, the lovely office ladies were so helpful during the weeks beforehand. Thank you all!!!! Julia, Sheila and Tony

    Hi Julia, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review — it truly means a great deal to us. Helping your parents move after 31 years in their home is exactly the kind of situation where care, patience and reassurance really matter, so we’re delighted to hear that Ryan, Andy and Kal helped make the whole process as stress free as possible. Nothing being “too much trouble” is something we genuinely strive for, especially when supporting elderly clients through such a big change. It’s also lovely to hear the office team were able to support you in the weeks leading up to the move

    Truly incredible service!

    Posted 16 December 2025

    I did a lot of research into removal firms and found these to be one of the best. And there is a reason for that. I was still keen to save a bit of money and hire our own vans but I can not stress enough how Happy Moves service was worth paying that little bit extra for. So if, like myself, you’re doing your research into companies. Save yourself time, book these guys and thank yourself once you’ve moved. The team came and removed our boxes in no time. We arrived at our new home but the owner still hadn’t fully moved out. The team dealt with this so professionally. They went above and beyond

    Hi Joseph, Thank you for such a fantastic review — it really does mean a lot to all of us at HappyMoves. We’re especially pleased to hear that, even after doing plenty of research and weighing up costs, you felt our service was worth that little bit extra. Saving time, reducing stress, and handling the unexpected professionally is exactly what we aim to deliver on every move. Situations like arriving at a property that isn’t fully vacated can be frustrating, so it’s great to know the team handled it calmly and professionally and kept things moving for you. Going above and beyond.

    Fantastic from cradle to grave - thank you happy moves!

    Posted 01 December 2025

    Fantastic service once again from Happy Moves! A huge thank you to Steve, Jordan, Rob, Ryan and Sophie, an absolutely outstanding team. From the moment they arrived, they made everything effortless. They constantly reassured us, telling us to relax, we’re here so you don’t stress, and they truly meant it. They supported my wife when she felt overwhelmed, double checked every detail, went room to room making sure nothing was missed, and didn’t leave until we were completely happy. We’ve now used Happy Moves five or six times for both work and personal moves, can’t fault them!

    Hi Jake, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a brilliant review — and for trusting HappyMoves again. We’re genuinely pleased to hear the team made everything feel effortless and that we helped keep the stress levels down, especially when your wife was feeling overwhelmed. A huge thank you from me and the whole crew — Steve, Jordan, Rob, Ryan and Sophie will be chuffed to bits to be mentioned by name. We take a lot of pride in being thorough, double-checking the details, and not leaving until you’re completely happy, so it means a lot to know that came through on the day.

    Moving house

    Posted 03 February 2025

    The team sent to me from Happy Moves were brilliant, they kept me informed of their movements when on the road and were efficient in their work at both ends of the move. Fantastic service. I can appreciate that it was a long day for the lads but they were 5 star superstars throughout. Would highly recommend Happy Moves!
