Removals.

Very competent removal company, courteous and extremely helpful for our fairly long distance house move. Communication with us was excellent at all stages of the process, including progress on the long drive to the new house. Getting everything into the new house was accomplished with surprising speed and efficiency. A great team of people to work with, many thanks for a very satisfactory removal.

Service cost: £1100

Long-distance move from Poole, Dorset to Swanage, Dorset

Cancelled two days before move

We felt confident with our booking with J-Load as Matt was very easy to deal with and helpful. However, two days before our move Matt rang to say the driver had gone down with Covid and they couldn't move us. In hindsight we should have booked with a larger company who could have found an alternative driver and one that asks for a deposit up front so we had a level of commitment from them.

Move size: 4 Bedroom Home Service cost: £850

Official company response

Hello Sue,
Thank you for your review and again we are very sorry that we were unable to move you but hope it all went well for you. As you have pointed out, yes we had a member of our team go down will covid which meant due to the government guide line all our members of the team had to self isolate. As I'm sure you can appreciate we had to do the right thing and follow the guide line and make sure that you were both protected and all our staff were safe. Even if you had paid a deposit, this would of been refunded, as yours and our teams safety comes first. Again we are very sorry for not being able to move you but wish you both the best in the future.
Many thanks
J Load Ltd

Fantastic.

Fantastic removal company. The comunication was really good. I had a free qoutation and nver felt pressured. On the day of the move 3 men arrived on time and clean and tidy. The staff unloaded my van within 3 hours and unloaded the other end in 2. Very friendly staff and I did not mind making them cups of tea. Would highly recomend them to family and friends. Good service, Good price, honest and friendly.

Best Removal Company I have used!

I have nothing but praise for this company from start to finish. They made the whole moving process as stress free as possible. They provided boxes to pack all our items, if we ran out they came and delivered more. They dismantled the beds and tables etc. Nothing was to much trouble. The removal men where all professional and polite. We had a big delay getting our keys and did not get them unitl very late in the day. J-Load where fantastic and just waited until we was able to get in, they kept saying don't worry we will wait and ensure that we unload all the stuff tonight regardless of time. I have nothing but priase for them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to move home. I am so glad I picked J-Load for our removal and will not hesitate to use them in the future. Thanks again!

Excellent moving experience.

In the last 5 years I have moved 4 times, once to Australia and once back to the UK. This is only a small company but I can honestly say that it is up there with the best of them. In fact you couldn't beat them on price - I tried! I received all the information I wanted prior to the removal without copious amounts of glossy brochures - just sufficient paperwork to ensure dates, price, pick up and delivery location. The firm arrived on time and delivery was made without any problems. What required re-assembly was done without asking and the job was completed most efficiently. I would definitely use them again.

Removal.

From the sales quote which included selecting the correct vehicle size to the actual removal, the team were brilliant! They protected our belongings and even left us with the blankets and boxes until we unpacked. In fact, we had them for around 2 weeks the new wardrobes they transport the clothes in we're amazing! Not those cardboard things I've had before, these were metal framed and very sturdy most of all, the removal team were fab! Nothing too much trouble! Hard working! Quick! looked after the carpets. In fact, they did everything they promised to do. Highly recommended!

J Load as Movers.

J Load offered us a competitive quotation at £40.00 per hour, which we took. The driver and his assistant (sorry but I have forgotten their names), were efficient and methodical. I thought they were a bit slow, but as everything was delivered intact, I must revise this judgement and say that there were just being practical with time. There were professional at all times, treating our furniture as if it were their own. Due to a slow puncture in one of their tyres, they overran their timings by 45 minutes. However, they did reduce the bill by 1 hour to compensate, which I didn't even ask for. 
I would not hesitate in recommending them and when we need to move again, we will definitly be using J Load.

Excellent in every way!

I highly recommend this company and would without question use again.
Matthew first visited me after my initial query and spent time explaining his service, the removal process and telling me about his company. He took time to find out about myself and my family before Looking over our home to price a quotation. Matthew and JLoad were the only company to excel with this customer service making me feel like a valued future client so much more than the other various companies I had for a quote whom spent less than 2 minutes running around my house pricing 'the job'. 
On the day of the move he and his colleague went out of their way to ensure they could reduce as much stress for us as possible. They even spent time with my little boy who had been getting very upset seeing his worldly possessions being put on the lorry! They took great care of our belongings, not a single item was damaged or scratched, they worked very hard and made the whole experience smooth for us.
Its a shame we don't plan to move home again! .

A pleasure to deal with.

I approached J Load via the Internet together with several other companies to get quotes. Others either gave phone quotes or did not even reply. Matthew came out straight away to review what was required and gave an immediate written quote. I accepted the next day. Despite a date change from my end the whole move day went very smoothly, carried out with much banter and good humour and any minor hiccups were dealt with intelligently and without fuss. Would recommend them.

Service cost: £480
