Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Fast, No Fuss - Took the stress away from moving.

We got the guys in at DBM Express to help us with a full pack and removal service. We were moving from a 2 bed flat in London to a 1 bed brand new flat. The guys were fantastic from gathering the initial quote, customer service, reliability and the actual move day. The uniformed movers arrived on time and fully packed every item in our flat and hauled our belongings down 3 flights of stairs and down the road to our new place. Not one item was damaged during the move, the whole team at DBM were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use them again in the future. Their quote out weighed all other suppliers along with the outstanding customer service provided. It took every element of stress away from the move day and made it a very pleasurable experience.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Just brilliant.

I moved locally in north London but had a fully furnished two bedroom apartment along with valuable artwork and fragile statues. DBM were absolutely brilliant, efficient and worked carefully. I was nervous as they were the cheapest quote I received (by quite a way!!) but I cannot see how the job could've been any better. Don't hesitate if you're considering them - they were faultless!

Service cost: £820

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Excellent moving company!

I have used DBM express for 2 movings so far.
I was totally satisfied for both and even more for the second which occurred on 18th January.
The team is efficient, kind, polite and smiling.
The head of the team handled everything with care and attention. They are flexible and patient.
Customer service was perfect trying to find the best solution and price. The salesman was fair and had explained his views on the future service.
I have booked also a storage through them at a very good weekly rate.
My whole moving experience was excellent. I will definitely use them again if need be. I recommend.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Edinburgh, Midlothian

Did the job, nothing broken, arrived on time both days.

I got several quotes for a move from London to Scotland and went with DBM because they seemed reliable and were the cheapest. In advance of the move, customer service was great and helpful, including around parking arrangements. For the move, which was a two day move, they arrived early both days. They boxed everything up nicely and nothing was broken.

They even spent ages getting my superking mattress up a narrow stairwell while trying to bend it as little as possible.

Only minor quibble was how long they took to unload - even with a lift (although only a tiny one for boxes) they took 8 hours on the arrival day, and had estimated 4. Not sure why it took so much longer than expected.

Overall would highly recommend - the guys were all hardworking, packed everything well and did the job as requested.

Service cost: £1250

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

DBM broke property and lied.

BE WARNED!!

By the very nature of DBM's dishonestly in dealing with my grievances
I am sure there may be a comment below rubbishing my claims.
It appears they have done similar things with other bad reviews.

Perhaps read them and make up your own mind.

I have nothing to gain from this review, I simply wish to warn people
about what they might encounter from the services at DBM.

If DBM wish to contact me, you have my details, we can resolve this
issue and I can amend this review accordingly.

Below is a précis of events and their incompetence.

As a cabinet maker I hired DBM to lift a heavy table I had made for a client into a
basement from the street.

They made assurances that the operation would be conducted as per my
instructions using four men and ropes.

On the day only three men turned up, they used no ropes and broke a very expensive table.

The team would not admit what they had done, accused me of trying to deliver
an already broken table, became aggressive and were asked to leave.

When phoned, Eduard (unsure of company role) admitted fault and offered appropriate compensation for repairs to their damage.

Since trying to chase this up I have been lied to, ignored and am now positive after giving
them many chances to rectify the situation that they just do not care.

If this is the kind of service you would like to receive when moving your valuable items
then they are the guys for the job!

Service cost: £38

Official company response

Charlie,

We are sorry you feel this way. Without prolonging this matter any longer we must point out the fact that you have breached our agreement and decided to do your own justice and withhold the payment for the move that was conducted and still file a claim. In reality all you paid for this was £38.00. We have tried explaining you what was the procedure for making a claim and that the service has to be paid in full but you ignored it all.

We do wish all the best,

DBM Express Movers.

DBM Removals.

DBM offers a service beyond expectation and we cannot thank them enough! Not only is the quality of communication excellent at every level but their desire to accommodate the vagaries of the house moving process could not have been bettered. Having suffered more than one change of date and finally a contract exchange the day before completion there was then a 3 hour wait to access our new property. The removal staff did an 11 hour day without complaint and remained courteous and kind at all times. If you want to find out how it really should be done go DBM!

Service cost: £1750

Hi Janet,

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Fantastic!

I booked last minute but I was very impressed with the customer service of the sales team and the video survey was a life saver. On the actual moving day, a team of 6 showed up with 2 vans so the move was completed in record time. The team were friendly, and very helpful. They were very careful with our belongings and made sure everything was where we wanted it to be in the right room at the new house before leaving. I think we have found our movers for life!

Service cost: £560

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Very pleased with services provided.

Recently we moved to a new place with help from DBM. I found the moving very professionally handled from arranging a survey visit to negotiating a reasonable price for their services and also offering an insurance coverage for our belongings with no extra cost or imposing conditions on packing them selves in order to provide coverage. The workers who did the moving where very polite and accommodating and extremely fast if you consider that we moved two flats into one bigger in a morning. Highly recommended and would book them again. Many thanks for helping us with our moving!

Service cost: £480

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

In onf word: great!

DBM did a video call upfront to get an impression of how much stuff needed to move. That was very efficient and also a safe way of avoiding any surprises for both sides.
The service staff at the office was extremely friendly and helpful. I called in several times as the date of my move wasn't certain until a few days before. They were great about it. They were also great in providing me with different options and their prices. With some places you try to avoid calling them, DBM is the opposite. You like calling them, because they're so friendly and helpful.
On the day of the move, the three guys were very efficient, but without being stressed or under too much pressure, I.e. they took good care of fragile items for example. Everything worked as it should: smooth, efficient, and if unsure, they asked me how I wanted it done.
A really great job!

Would highly recommend.

We moved from Aylesbury to Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. This was repeat business as we used them for a previous move and were delighted with the service. They picked up items from the storage facility en-route and everything was done in a day and with great speed and efficiency. The removal staff were friendly and asked us where everything was going. The whole move was stress free. Would definitely recommend DBM Express to anyone.

Long-distance move from Romford, Greater London to Woking, Surrey

Great service.

Considering it was the hottest day of the year (and we live in a town house) the guys didn't stop. They arrived at 8am, our belongings were packed up by 12pm & delivered (with no damages) all on the same day to our new address in Woking.

It was a great service and Bianca was also very accommodating when we had to change the removal date at short notice. Having shopped around for a quote, they were the most competitive and by far the most professional and responsive to deal with.

I would highly recommend their service.

Service cost: £730

House move.

Our total experience with DBS Express from start to finish was excellent.
We had to change our moving date at fairly short notice 4 times due to solicitor conveyancing delays and DBS were accommodating every time.
On the day they arrived promptly and the house contents were packed up and loaded into the vans quickly and carefully.
The unloading at the new house was equally quick and without fuss. All items moved were handled very carefully and there was no scraping or bumping of walls etc during the move.
We were very happy with the whole episode, and would use them again without hesitation.
We would be happy to recommend them without reservation.

DBM Express.

I found from start to finish that DBM Express provided an excellent service when handling the removals for my recent relocation from Essex to Merseyside. Bianca's administration was very helpful and accommodating when I was waiting for my completion date to come through. On both pick up and drop off, both Dragos and his colleague where courteous, efficient, speedy and helpful, helping to keep my stress levels to a minimum! I felt their service provided excellent value for money and I would certainly use them again.

Office move - Academic/university.

Excellent from start to finish: great customer service on telephone from Bianca; and good communication on the ground with the removal guys.

House removal.

On the hottest day of the summer so far, 3 Latvian men and a van from DBM were to help me clear out my aunts house in central London and move the contents to storage in South London. They were on time, I was caught in traffic. They worked tireless, were polite and helpful and when the move went way past a reasonable time due to London, they said nothing. The left South London at 8pm, 12 hours after they started having (volunteered) and rearranged the items in storage to help me fit everything in without being asked. The removal men were brilliant, the company administrator, Bianca, was helpful and efficient. I rarely find any service faultless, but this really was and I recommend them without reservation.

The company were really excellent on all angles with great customer service in the on site evaluation. Always helpful at the end of the phone and email if needed and a prompt. Hard working team of removal people who made our experience one with the mind at ease throughout. They were competitive and responsible and I was impressed with the overall dedication they demonstrated throughout our families move. A great company. I hope that continues to thrive.

DBM removal.

We used this service for a move from London to Cornwall. DBM was very quick and responsive on any communication. Price was competitive. Clear instructions around the move. The removers were very efficient and helpful. Any furniture dismantled for the move was quickly re-assembled by the team on Arriva and carried ti their right room in our new location. No breakages in the move either. Highly recommended.

DBM Removers.

I want to say that I cannot recommend them enough.
I have used other moving companies and was rather disappointed, but DBM Movers took care of everything for me. I had cheaper quotes, but given my previous experiences and some rather expensive furniture and items, I didn't want to risk it.
The surveyor was professional and explained everything thoroughly.
The men were right on time, a bit earlier even and waited for me until I was ready. They started packing from the go and worked really hard all day long.
Every box was labelled and packed carefully, found no breakages. All the items were carefully wrapped and moved, even some of the old stuff I still had around which I just had to move.
I can say that they deliver the service they say and they do it at competitive and affordable rates.
GOOD JOB DBM Movers and a big thank you.

DBM Express Movers recommended.

Following a personal recommendation from someone who had previously used DBM Express Movers, we used them to move from one furnished apartment to another in Central London.

Bianca was very efficient in dealing with the necessary paperwork prior to our move. Removal team arrived as arranged and had us packed and out of our old flat at lunchtime, and in to the new apartment late afternoon. All went very smoothly and the guys helped make what could have been a stressful day go very well.

We would recommend the services of DBM Express Movers to others.

DBM Express - Outstanding service.

I felt compelled to leave a review following the excellent service I received from DBM Express from start to finish.
The process was expertly managed, the movers were incredibly hard working and friendly. They also went above and beyond what I expected such as even connecting my new washing machine and helping with a few bits and pieces in the new house.

Everything was moved successfully from A to B with no breakages or damage to the inside of the house or any of the furniture.

This is one company I will definitely recommend to anyone.

Thanks for an outstanding service! Much appreciated!

Smooth Movers!

Big thanks to the DBM Express team for ensuring that our move this week was smooth and easy. We were moving into temporary accommodation while renovating a new place, so half our stuff was going to storage and half to the temporary accommodation. We had to reschedule a number of times due to problems with our sale, and Bianca was very helpful and accommodating. On the day, the guys were professional, efficient and hard working. They made it look easy and the whole exercise was seamless. The price was very competitive too. Would definitely use them again and would recommend them to friends.

The entire team at DBM Express were fantastic. Competitive price, speed and care of the packing service, friendly and helpful staff, high quality packing and professionalism, I could go on.

I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely use them again should the occasion occur (hopefully not for a while!).
