10 Easy, Calm, Clear and Professional
Posted 09 October
Job location: RH7It has been a seamless journey from the beginning to the end. Just moved in 2 days ago out of storage with Plain Sailing. Our first instincts were correct. Calm reassurance, expert help to make decisions, through to the actual day of moving, storage and final move to my new home. From Danny (the owner), to Louise in the office manning it all, to Matt and the boys who helped move us, it has been professional and easy. Definately recommend and would use Plain Sailing again.Response from Plain Sailing Removals Ltd
Thank you for your review Jacqueline, much appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I am pleased that you are now in your new home. Hope you are starting to settle now. All the best for the future! Take care of yourself. Louise

10 Tetris champions!
Posted 20 August
Plain Sailing did an incredible job stepping in for us at the eleventh hour when a 5-day completion date was forced upon us. Matt, Rick, Aidan, Liam & Sam were such troopers....they sailed through our house packing everything with care. Danny figured out precisely how much truck space we needed and the team packed it like true tetris champions! What could have been an absolute nightmare couple of days was made slick and organised and a smooth procedure and even a bit of a laugh at times! Their experience, judgement and professionalism shone through - they're absolute legends! Can't go wrong.Verified reviewerJob location: RH1Response from Plain Sailing Removals Ltd
