    Professional, polite and efficient - highly recommended

    Posted 6 days ago

    A great team starting with the initial visit to give us a quote and subsequent contact each month to check for news of a moving date. On moving day, the group of men were friendly and hard working, with a sense of humour and banter which made a stressful day less so. Due to a solicitor's inefficiency completion was too late at 6pm for exchange of keys. Therefore HCS had to take our possessions back to their yard and return the next day. They assured us that despite a full day they would fit us in to move us into our new home. With a reduced team, they worked hard and completed the move

    Highly recommend

    Posted 01 June

    From start to finish these guys were amazing. We originally booked them for Summer 2025 however our sale fell through. The team in the office, Donna and Steve were amazing with regular calls to check in if we had new dates and to see how we were! Over the two days the team were brilliant, packed all our items with care and were just generally really nice guys. They unloaded everything quickly when we arrived at the new property and exactly where we wanted things. Would highly recommend!

    The guys were brilliant from start to finish .I had them come in and pack when my moving date was unfortunately changed this was no problem. On the day of moving the guys were brilliant really friendly and professional. Id arranged for disposal of some items and again this was no problem When we got to the new property the guys again were brilliant making sure everything went to the correct room. I would certainly recommend them

    Removals made stress free

    Posted 23 May

    From when we requested a quote, to when everything was unloaded, all at HCS have been great. On moving day, our team (Mick, Mitch and Mason) let us know they were on their way and arrived on time. Packing was done with care and always with a smile and good humour. Furniture was wrapped as appropriate. They were patient while we were waiting for completion and met us at the new property - unloading was efficient and everything put where we wanted.

    Excellent service, competitive price.

    Posted 21 May

    Local company, I was moving to another County. The price was very competitive. Telephone answered promptly. Donna always pleasant and helpful. The removal was completed with no stress. Half my property was put into storage, which was well maintained. The removal men Glen; Connon and Mason were friendly / efficient and nothing was too much trouble. They did not hesitate to make sure everything was put in the correct rooms / places. Excellent service. Would definitely use them again.
