Would definitely recommend this company. They were very professional but also friendly and accommodating. Boxes were delivered well in advance and they provided clothes rails to save packing. They made moving home very easy.

Long-distance move from Chelmsford, Essex to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

From Essex to Worcestershire.

Cannot praise our removal team highly enough. The bulk of the furniture had to go up two flights of stairs but this did not phase them. Both men were prompt, efficient, helpful, polite and good fun. The van was on time for both loading and unloading.
There was no damage to any property, all furniture and boxes were put where we asked them to be put and we were amazed at the speed of the entire operation.

Top Team.

2 teams over 2 days and both times they worked their socks off helping us move from old to new. A huge amount of respect to Peter, Reece & Jordan followed by Peter, Jamie, Jordan and Paul.
Their knowledge of the job required and each other, their teamwork and easy yet professional manner towards us is the reason I would recommend Reliable Moving to anyone and everyone.

Long-distance move from Chelmsford, Essex to Carlisle, Cumbria

Move from Essex to Cumbria.

Reliable Moving & Storage are absolutely EXCELLENT!
The girls who take the bookings and answer any queries were so helpful to us - our first chain fell through and it was a really stressful time for us. Reliable kindly advised us so that we didn't lose our moving date slot (which we feared might happen).
Scott and Gary (the two guys who moved us) were just amazing! We had so much stuff - including plants in pots and gardening equipment and they managed to get it all packed into the lorry in such a short space of time that we hardly had enough time to clean. And they weren't stressed at all (unlike us!)
We moved from Essex to Cumbria over two days in December and Scott and Gary did an absolutely AMAZING job. They were great guys. Thank you both for making our move stress free and thank you Reliable. I would certainly recommend you.

This website removalreviews.co.uk does not have 'Essex' or 'Grays' in their Pickup Location' box, nor do they have our location of 'Cumbria', so we have had to chose something nearby.

Long-distance move from Chelmsford, Essex to Chelmsford, Essex

4 bed detached bungalow.

Will, who surveys and quotes arrived on time and quickly assessed my bungalow. He was very reassuring about my worries. Quote arrived next day like he said it would, which was reasonable.
Gary arrived exactly on time on removal day. His team were quick and careful loading my whole bungalow in a few hours. At our new house again they worked so hard, I was really impressed . It was raining and cold but they all remained cheerful and cooperative until the work was completed.
I wholeheartedly recommend this company. They made one of most stressful days seem like a walk in the park. Thanks a lot.

Awesome company.

Very happy with Reliable Removals, they recently moved us from Basildon to Harlow and it was a great experience. Jon was fantastic and very informative and everything he promised his team delivered from coving my floors to dismantling my beds and wardrobes

Had some delays on the transfer of monies on the day but the team were still great from start to finish.

Would 100% recommend them.

Up to very high standard removal service!

Up to very high standard service! Had my removal on 17th July 2019, everything went well, only the removal guys had no time left to assemble my wardrobe, I was upset and left disappointed. I was very surprised when the following day the manager John came back and assembled my 2 wardrobes without extra charge! This type of service when customer's satisfaction so important, we could not often see nowadays.My very big personal thank you to John!

Long-distance move from Romford, Greater London to Colchester, Essex

Recent move before Christmas.

We would just like to express our thanks for Reliable Removals help with our move. The three guys - Pete, Matt and Mike worked extremely hard and were polite and courteous.
Due to the weather conditions on Monday 11th December, I can only apologise there was a delay in opening up our new property which meant a wait out in the cold for everyone. We didn't think we would need an 18tonne lorry as we were moving from a flat so was surprised when we filled it - spot on.
Many thanks again.

Excellent service.

Reliable Moves really lived up to their name. I had a really complicated move and nothing was too much trouble for them. I had things going to three different places and everything ended up in the right place. Friendly, helpful and good value for money, and, yes, reliable. Just make sure you keep the kettle handy! I'm grateful to the team for making a difficult process so much easier than I expected.

Special thanks with a stressful move

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you. It was so stressful and difficult as we had to exchange and complete on the same day and I wanted to let you know that I appreciated you and your team’s patience, kindness and consideration and all your very hard work to get the removals done – past your working hours! Out of all the people I have come to contact with you have really made a positive impression and helped us so much. My special thanks to David, Will, Lee and fourth colleague (sorry can’t remember his name) we could not have done it without you so thank you.

A big thank you to David and the team.

They were extremely efficient and courteous and I would fully recommend their services.
