      Smartmove from Devon to Cumbria

      We recently moved from Devon to Cumbria and chose Smartmove to do our removals. Right from the start they were supportive and helpful in our move, and hands down way ahead of their competition in terms of pricing. On the day of the move out the team came and introduced themselves and had a walk around to discuss what needed to be done, which was very reassuring. They then worked throughout the day to pack everything into the lorry, I would certainly never want to challenge any of them to a game of Tetris as they .are masters at loading things safely and securely into their lorry.

      Then on the on the day of the move in they again did a walk round with us discussing everything, then set to work. They worked tirelessly and unloaded everything into it's correct room, if they were unsure they checked with us (rather than just presume).

      I am so glad that we chose Smartmove that I have no hesitation recommending them, and I have already done so to a friend.

      The best moving experience I've had.

      Matt visited to survey my flat and came back with a quote the same evening. The price was fair and inclusive, so no unexpected charges later. Payment and contract details were all handled quickly online.

      On the day of the move, the boys were amazing. Polite, professional and efficient. Most of all, they were careful with my belongings and nothing was damaged. I still can't believe how they managed to manoeuvre some of the furniture into my new place, given the narrow spaces involved!

      Don't look anywhere else. Go with SmartMove!

      Charming and efficient

      Very happy with the service. We had a complicated move, with half our furniture going into storage for a couple of weeks, while we did some work on the new house. Everything was managed well and communication was excellent at all points. The removal staff were happy and motivated, making them a pleasure to have around. Not the cheapest company, but the service was worth the extra cost. Highly recommend.

They moved this on a super super hot day and didn't finish till about 6:30. Plus they were extremely competitive. I would definitely recommend.

      100%

      Absolutely brilliant. Fast and efficient booking service via a virtual video quote + email booking. The packing team (Andy, Chris, and Liam aka 'Bacon') were amazing, worked non-stop the day before we moved and were very patient and considerate (we have 2 small kids and a LOT of stuff). Next day, the moving team (Nathan, Harry, Oli, Zak) were incredible, moved heaven and earth to get us into our new family home on schedule, including rebuilding beds etc. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Will use again, if we ever move!

      Bristol to London move

      It's always difficult deciding what removals company to use especially if you're not a local. I decided on Smartmove removals and I do not regret it at all. Their services are priced at a reasonable rate. Most importantly, they were very efficient from the get-go: arrangement of video survey for quotation (with Matt) was quick, to getting details about the move (with Izabela), payment, letting you know when they were arriving and even packing things up very quickly (with Charlie and Liam). Moving is always a very stressful and anxious process but their positive attitudes and efficiency certainly made you feel better and assured you that it will all go well. I cannot recommend them enough!

      Moving House

      Smart Removals did a great job when we moved house from Buckinghamshire to Bristol. They were so patient and understanding when our dates kept changing; which they did from November to eventually moving in February.

      We had so much stuff; including a piano and about 1200 vinyl albums and about 1200 cds plus the shelving for it all. We also had really difficult access down a very narrow, winding lane and then steep steps to our new house but all the staff of Smart Removals were calm and helpful and knew exactly what to do. We can’t thank them enough.

      Generally satisfactory

      For the most part I was happy with the service provided, but the movers could have been a bit more careful, especially one of them who seemed a bit inexperienced. It looks like they scuffed the wall in a couple of places. Not the end of the world but a touch more care would have been appreciated.

    • They don't wrap sofas or mattresses - they got grubby and stained.

      1.0 Hannah Kenny Dec 28, 2018

      Avoid.

      They quoted for 3 vans. They sent 2. At 1pm the men pointed at the remainder of our stuff in our front garden and asked us to take it in our own cars. Matthew, the owner, later said they would have sent another van if we'd asked. The new owners were arriving that minute. This would have been awkward and caused delays.

      They left all their unused boxes and a huge roll of bubble wrap in the front garden.

      They didn't wrap furniture - it got scratched or broken.

      They didn't secure items in the van - a bunk bed fell and broke. They don't wrap sofas or mattresses - they got grubby and stained.

      They didn't wrap items in boxes - picture frames and lamps got chipped, marked and scratched.

      They went to the wrong house. They'd guessed the house name on my invoice. I'd corrected Matthew and Justine, but they didn't tell the removals team. The men wasted over an hour at the wrong address.

      They were initially "very embarrassed" and agreed to refund the packing cost of £350. I argued they should refund more for only sending 2 of the 3 vans I needed and for damaging large items, not only the items in boxes. They refused.

      They didn't refund the VAT on the packing cost. I asked why they…

    • they break stuff.

      Be warned!

      Where to start with the frustrations and disappointments having used this company.. I guess the most useful thing I could warn anybody of is, they break stuff. Unfortunately you tend to only fully discover the extent of this as you unpack. Having paid already they aren't interested and won't respond to communications, forget an insurance claim. The guys that do the actual work are all very polite and helpful. The folk that hide in the office are neither. The good price that draws you in is a false economy; be warned!

Brilliant team

The whole process from start to finish was really great. Team were polite and efficient. Lockdown move was always going to be nerve-wracking, but they made us feel at ease. They stayed late to help put furniture back together. I would highly recommend.
