Move from West Midlands to north wales.
We thought they would be the best ,but truly would have had better treatment with any other firm . All they seem to be interested in is taking extra money for everything . Which we did the insurance cover was a complete waste of time we are still waiting for someone to come and check breakages.
South Yorkshire to North Skye.
Requested 4 quotes from removal companies. Two local, one national and one international. One never bothered to reply, one did not reply until the day we moved, one quoted double the other so we went with Pickfords. Wise decision. They came on time, brought boxes, mobile wardrobes, sheets to cover the carpets and padding for delicate objects. Loaded quickly, packed thoroughly, quick cup of tea then set off. Day and a half driving then straight on with the unloading. Everything straight into place, mess cleared up then back on the road. No damage whatsoever, no mess and no drama. There was nothing could have improved the service we received. Wherever you are moving to, do not risk you precious possessions to any one else.
Our Move to the US: PF18917367.
We recently used Pickfords to pack and ship our goods from the UK to the US. The move was handled professionally by all staff involved. The Moving Coordinator was helpful throughout and provided all necessary paperwork and guidance from assisting with the customs and insurance paperwork through ensuring that there was a seamless handover to the Allied team in the US. We can't say enough for the team that packed our goods--they were excellent; patient, diligent and helpful in every way possible. The quality of the packing was excellent and happy to say that nothing, including our extensive collection of chrystal, was damaged. All in all it was an excellent experience and we are happy to recommend Pickfords to anyone moving domestically or abroad.
York.
From contacting Allan Luke the manager initially right through to the removal day, the whole thing went like clockwork.
The team worked hard without break and went over & above to complete the move.
Spot on.
I have always used Pickfords for my removers and I have had quite a few! I don't bother getting other quotes because they have never let me down. This time I have had to put my belongings in storage and once again the lads were superb. Came on time and finished well before time,
They are professional and polite.
Amazing!
Our team of 2 were so hardworking. They never stopped for a moment. It wasn't an easy move with the size of our furniture but there were no complaints whatsoever. Nothing was too much trouble, moving boxes if they were placed in the wrong room, ensuring we were happy.
Pickfords removals.
Second time using Pickfords and they were brilliant again. Quick, careful, considerate and efficient. Would highly recommend them, they take the stress out of moving.
Moving house.
We used Pickfords and opted for their packing service and the disassembly and reassembly of a large wardrobe.
This was our first move for over 30 years, moving from a large family house downsizing to a bungalow less than a mile away. Despite culling a significant amount of furniture and personal items there was still a considerable amount to package and items to move from the house, garden and garage.
Practically all the items were moved to where we requested. Not a single item was damaged and the crew were efficient, punctual and courteous throughout. A large, heavy dining table necessitated a return visit to correct the original re-assembly. A minor glitch.
The service was not the cheapest quote we had but we were more than satisfied with the result.
Highly recommended.
Great service.
I cannot fault the service from Pickfords from those who supported me through the initial enquiry to the guys who showed up to pack and move me on the day. They took so much stress away from the move and were all incredibly professional. I would absolutely recommended them to anyone.
Removal from Killamarsh to Bingley.
The initial contact with Pickfords' representative was professional with the competency expected. A full review of the items to be packed and moved was made and information on the details and terms and conditioned fully explained.
A detailed quote was then supplied and comparable in price to others I had received but the service offered was greater.
Cartons, packing protection and tape were provided timely for items I had decided to self pack, The person delivering the cartons gave advice on best packing practises.
The removal took place on the 18th May from a detached house, the van and 3 men arrived on time and very quickly set up their ramps for easy access to the van. They worked quickly and carefully and appreciated the tea, coffee and biscuits provided. The dismantling of beds and wall units and loading of all cartons and loose furniture was completed in in less than two hours and the house checked to ensure everything had been removed.
The 60 miles road journey was completed without incident and once again they positioned the van and ramps to give best access to the new premises, a first floor apartment. The unloading re-assembly and positioning took slightly longer probably due to the distance from the van to the apartment and the additional stairs. On completion the van was confirmed empty apart from the bags being donated to charity, a very good service offered by Pickfords.
Throughout the move the 3 men were polite and courteous at all times.
House move : Sheffield to Mansfield Woodhouse.
I have only ever used Pickfords (or Allied for my international moves) when moving house. I have always found them good in that they do what they say they will do when they say they'll do it and for the price agreed - usually several weeks/months before the move actually happens.
With advancing age and ever increasing demands on my time by work, I don't have the energy any more to do certain things and I have reached the point in life where if I can pay someone to do stuff for me instead of having to do it myself then happy days. This time, therefore, I went for the full packing/dismantling service. Plus I opted for the moving dates and late completion waiver insurances. Good job I did.
Our chain wasn't a long one - 4 parties involved in all. But even so, the dates were going backwards and forwards - the final change being on the day I'd already made payment to Pickfords. Initially, when I asked my move coordinator to change the dates she said "sorry, we can't do that date - we've no crews available" (or moving out day was 29th May - the day after the Spring Bank Holiday. I didn't actually beg her - more pleaded - to do her best to find a crew for me. If she couldn't do so, I'd have been forced to change the dates again and from previous to'ing and fro'ing, I knew that would push us back at least 3 weeks and we were desperate to make the move happen. This whole move had been on and off for about 8 months and I was rapidly reaching my own snapping point and liable to just throw in the towel.
Anyway, bless her socks (I am not sure I can name names in here so I won't but if she reads this, the lady up in Newcastle knows I am talking about her now) - she managed to get us a crew.
On completion day, the solicitors of our new home's owners, took an age to clear the payments. Completion happened 5 hours later than my two solicitors expected/hoped. Anything over 4 hours' delay in completion attracts a premium but the late completion waiver insurance took care of that.
Ours was a 2 day move. Empty the house in Sheffield on day 1 and deliver and unload all the stuff to the new house in Manny Wood on day 2.
The guys - a gang of three - emptied our house (packing and dismantling as they went along) within 8 hours.
They unloaded and re-assembled the dismantled furniture in about 3 hours.
They were courteous, respectful, careful and very professional.
I am currently about half way through the unpacking and so far (touch wood) not one missing or damaged item. I have that covered by the insurance anyway.
This - from a removals perspective (and not necessarily from a legal one!) - has been by far the most pleasing move I have ever made - and I have made several. In the past, there had always been niggling issues - minor but, nevertheless, still issues. This time, no such issues have arisen which is why I've rated this move as excellent.
I am sure that there will be people who have had quite the opposite experience to my own. That is not the point. I have nothing but good words to say about the service Pickfords offer. In this particular move's case, it was flawless - hence the excellent rating given this time.

Removal from Whitby to Newcastle.
The whole process was a good experience. The crew of three who carried out the removal were swift and efficient in packing, loading and unloading. They were friendly and helpful as they went about their task, and also went out of their way to smooth our moving in, volunteering to take away various unwanted items. The move manager was very responsive to any demands we made, when her patience must have been tested several times by our suggesting wrongly as it turned out that an item had been lost.
Our move.
Pickfords are the professionals when it comes to moving home
Our move was seamless
The stars of the day were the three men who did all the heavy lifting,nothing was to much trouble they were also very polite.
I would have no hesitation recommending Pickfords to anyone.
House move.
What could have been a stressful day was made easy by the professionalism and expertise of the Pickfords removal team. Calls from Stacey in the office and a visit by Carl my move manager to make sure everything was going smoothly gave me confidence in this company, whilst 6 removal men packaged with care the contents of my 4 bedroomed house to go into storage.
I have yet to purchase my new home however I have full confidence that my furniture will be returned with the same excellent standard of care.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Pickfords to anybody who wishes to have their furniture moved with care and without hassle and stress.
Professional service.
Very professional service on the day of moving our belongings into storage. Well organised and made the move much easier.
