      Absolutely excellent service from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, and took great care with all of our belongings. Everything was handled smoothly and with minimal stress, which made the whole moving process so much easier. They arrived on time, worked incredibly hard, and were a pleasure to deal with throughout. I would highly recommend this removal company to anyone looking for a reliable and professional service. Thank you for making our move such a positive experience!

      Removals

      Excellent service, from arranging dates to suit me for the removal, to getting an approximate quote, to Dave coming round to explain what I needed to do, to receiving my quote. Dave and his crew turned up on time on the day, worked clean, tidy and methodically It just worked! They made what could have been a stressful day very calm. The same when emptying the lorry. Even putting stuff in the shed in the pouring rain. What made me choose Reliable was that Dave was ALWAYS contactable. Thanks guys you were amazing

      Professional & Painless

      We used Reliable for our house move. We also used their packing service. From my initial contact with the team they were the most professional of all movers I contacted. They were clear about process, costs and expectations.

      The packing was done swiftly with complete care and consideration.

      The move day which is knowingly stressful was made painless by the team, who were speedy, professional and effective throughout the day.

      A great service from a brillant team, we are really grateful for all their efforts and support.

      3/4-bed house, 3-day move from Essex to Sheffield

      We had to book our move at only two weeks' notice after we were let down by another company. Luckily for us, a friend recommended Reliable Removals and David and his team stepped in at short notice and certainly lived up to their name. Our possessions (which we packed ourselves) amounted to over 130 boxes, plus large items of furniture over 3 floors plus a packed garage and outbuilding, and garden plants and ornaments. All was packed in the lorries over a day and a half, quickly and efficiently and with care and attention to the house and possessions. We were particularly impressed with and grateful for David's calm and professional supervision. The teams at both ends were cooperative and friendly and respected our wishes. They went the extra mile: for example, at the destination they worked overtime after our own delayed arrival without complaint (albeit bribed with Bourbon biscuits!).

      Excellent service and value for money, would recommend without hesitation.

    • Good communication, punctual, reliable and a good price.

Long-distance move from Essex to Essex

Brilliant and professional.

I had a large amount of different sized boxes plus furniture from a 3 bed semi. Legal delays meant they were hanging around for a lot of the day and had to work well beyond their alloted time but they went above and beyond to complete the job. A superb bunch, happy, professional and hard working. I would absolutely recommend Dave & his team. Thanks guys.

House to Flat move for pensioner

Dismantling furniture, two flights of stairs and lots of boxes were packed with great care into the van. At the new address, consideration as to where each box was placed (ie tried to make sure boxes went into correct rooms), reassembling the furniture and just checking on my nan's general well being have got this company their 5 stars. The guys were friendly yet professional, happy, chatty and very helpful."

Brilliant

Dave and the team at Reliable are brilliant! We’ve used them on a repeat basis for house moves in the last 10yrs. We used them for both a packing service for and a move (also some storage in between exchange and completion) everything ran like clockwork. It was also a very short time between exchange and completion and Dave was great at giving us options for a last minute move.

Couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Thanks guys!!

Long-distance move from Colchester, Essex to Canterbury, Kent

Superb company, team and service

Excellent service from start to finish. The team were on time, efficient, careful, respectful of the furniture and property, and highly professional. The lorry was loaded carefully with all furniture packed well and secured properly. Having had many moves in the Army, this was by far the best, most personal service. The team even went out of their way by diverting to Ramsgate to swap some furniture before going onto the storage unit in Canterbury. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend to anyone.
