      Removals in London.

      DBM just moved me out of my home of 25 years where I lived with three children. It was a big, complex, emotional move. At all times I felt fully supported by DBM. I had been trying hard to stay within my budget. DBM were recommended by the estate agent I was using. The pricing was very competitive. At every point from the initial survey, through planning with the office staff and exploring several options, everyone I came in contact with was fantastic. And on the two days of the move, the crew were patient, fast, efficient, thoughtful and kind. I guess, with less that 48 hours since my move, I am still feeling the after effects of the emotional and physical upheaval but I cannot recommend DBM more highly. They were the the partners I needed in a challenging situation.

    • the service was always polite and efficient.

      Outstanding service from start to finish. DBM Express managed to accommodate our shifting move date and to complete an awkward move from London to Sussex. From Alina in the office helping us through quotations and advice to Daniel and his team of 5 moving us on the day, the service was always polite and efficient.

      We can't praise highly enough the team of movers on the day who packed and moved a ridiculous amount of stuff with breathtaking efficiency. Valuable items were wrapped and protected to ridiculous levels. Beds and other furniture were dismantled and reassembled in their new location, almost as if by magic. We could barely keep up with the efficiency of unloading and were left with a partially furnished house rather than just the pile of packing boxes we expected. And they were all really nice and polite. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work.

      5 Star Removal Company.

      Used DBM Express recently (2 weeks ago at the time of writing this review), and could not fault them. We moved from Zone 2 in Central London to Hertfordshre. Everything to do with dealing with DBM was first class, from the initial house visit to generate the quote, the friendly and helpful staff on the end of the phone, to the guys turning up to pack one day and then turning up to load, move and unload the next day. Everything was on time. Move was seamless and stress free, and nothing was broken or missing. My wife and I didn't lift a finger in those 2 days which left us with plenty of energy to unpack and organise the new place. If you need a company to help you move and you are looking for reliable, competitive and professional, then DBM Express is the company you need.

      DBM Express.

      Competitively priced (I had quotes from eight firms), highly efficient, prompt and reliable. These lads worked as a team and worked fast. Very careful with packing our precious knick-knacks and amazingly inventive when it came to getting large pieces of furniture through and around seemingly impossibly small spaces.

      We used DBM twice - once in 2016 and again in 2019. They did not disappoint in any way and I highly recommend them.

      Simply the best.

      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. The level of service and the clarity on what you got for the cost was all excellent! I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely use them again should the occasion occur (hopefully not for a while!).

      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.

      Great value and a highly efficient and friendly team.

      Hats off to the DBM team for a job well done! We booked them for half a day's packing and a half day move (the following morning), and it all went like clockwork. They were punctual, friendly and very efficient. All our possessions were well packed, the boxes clearly labelled, and they took care when deconstructing the furniture and wrapping it. The move went very smoothly, and the whole job was completed as promised, starting at 8am and finishing at 5pm. They reconstructed the beds/table and everything arrived in the same condition it had been in our old home. Well done guys! On a final note, the cost of the move (£790, including packing & moving) was by far the cheapest quote we got online, so all round I can highly recommend DBM.

    • Their quote out weighed all other suppliers along with the outstanding customer service provided.

      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.

    • Everything went according to plan, from the quote, what they said they’d do and their schedules.

      Great from start to finish.

      We moved from London to Edinburgh and were looking for a reasonably priced company to do the move and packing for us.

      DBM were great, they came to our property to assess our needs and provide a quote (which arrived quite quickly). Their prices were very competitive and since they were willing to accommodate to our moving dates, which were very close to out initial contact already, we went with them.

      They were always on time, professional and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. Packing 80% of a 3-bed house took them one morning and the rest was done the following day, along with the removal. Everything went according to plan, from the quote, what they said they’d do and their schedules. We were very impressed.

      I’m very happy to recommend DBM Express to anyone looking for a moving company.

      It was just pure luck we found DBM but we are so glad we chose them. We give 5 stars to Bianca at admin (we changed our completion date 10 times and they were very accommodating), 5 stars to Edouard for survey and follow up, and 5 stars to the 5 great removal men on the big day.

      They were on time (actually early), incredibly efficient, polite, experienced and prepared (2 lorries and 5 men).

      We highly recommend DBM. Florence North London.

      Stress free move.

      Bianca in the office was very friendly and helpful. We received a competitive quote. The three men who arrived on the dot of 8 were very focused, efficient and worked tirelessly. Everything was wrapped and packed very well and nothing was damaged. If we move again we would certainly use them and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. They made a potentially stressful day much easier. Thank you.

      TV severely damaged, cabinets snapped.

      Going through insurance claim.

      TV screen (£2500 worth tv) was damaged beyond repair.

      Cabinet, in front of me, was snapped.

      The guys worked hard, but they lack the know-how, preparedness and professionalism required. Hired because they are cheap and have very much regretted it.

      They did turn up a day earlier to pre-pack -fine, but they took four additional hours to pack the next day which was potentially a breach of my purchase and sale contract of the property (we needed to vacate by 1pm - they knew this).

      They worked around the clock, but wrapped the tv in a blanket and not bubble wrap as anyone else would do.

      I had full evidence and photos showing the fingerprints on the screen, which were ALL from DBM. When Dragos, an employee of DBM came to view the damage once we tried to turn on the TV again, he wiped the fingerprints off despite my clear instructions not to. This was also done in front of my tenant.

      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,…

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

Excellent service.

The crew was very professional and kept everything tidy and clean. They had to carry very heavy staff so they did it without causing any damage at the walls. Helpful and very polite. It was a very nice surprise. Most importantly they were very competive with the price as well. Great value for the service provided. Highly recommended.

Service cost: £860

Good Service and Reasonable price.

These guys were very efficient. Someone came around the same day we asked to and assessed what was needed. The move was at short notice and they accommodated us. Quote was received within 30 mins of the assessment and price was competitive. Guys turned up on time (actually a little early). They sent 5 guys instead of 4 and they were pretty fast and efficient. We had new carpets etc and they layed carpet protector and some took their shoes off and stayed inside. Overall we found them to be very good and professional and would recommend them and would use them again. Thanks to the guys at DBM..

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

Complex move.

Amazing service provided by DBM Express for what might be easily be categorised as a complex move. I was initially booked in for a short survey and once the quotation was agreed, was booked for the move by very friendly customer support advisors. They also helped buy some accessories required for the move. The team from DBM Express completed the move at very high professional standards - the coordination between the team members were impressive which resulted in the completion of the job in an efficient manner. One thing to note is that they are willing to scale up the team (in terms of people & vehicles) if required such that pre-agreed timelines are met. Thanks for everyone at DBM Express. I strongly recommend DBM Express for any moves - large or small.

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

Great Service.

DBM offered an excellent service for our 6-bedroom house move within central London.
We have moved across the Atlantic several times using very expensive movers and DBM offered a similar service for a fraction of the price. We own very delicate and valuable pieces of furniture and art and they did their utmost to move all our personal belongings with great care, trust and dedication. Their customer service was very responsive and their actual moving staff were very professional and extremely hard working and always worked with a sense of positivity even though it was hard hard work. I am a very hands on and discerning customer and actually don't think I could fault them on a single part of their service and would have no hesitation recommending DBM. I also love that they use recyclable and reusable crates which make their service a greener one with a smaller carbon footprint.
