At the start of my moving house journey…
At the start of my moving house journey the system went smoothly I was quoted quickly and efficiently. The two day removal was arranged as we had storage as well as hours move. Day - 1 went reasonably well and we were encouraged by this. Day -2 they arrived late and then preceded to pack my smaller boxes in large boxes to transport better, this was a disaster as they packed clearly labelled boxes in different boxes so my boxes were later not delivered to the correct rooms.it was chaotic.. they were ill prepared for our hot tub and without our neighbours help snd our help if would not of got moved they had no equipment for it .. it then stayed on the delivery truck for 6 months before one day I had a phone call to say they had a plan and enough men to deliver it.
Final delivery of our furniture was again disorganised chaos but this time it turned out ok hence the 4 stars, we were told 2pm then I had a text saying 10am then a small can turned up .. we had two large crates of stuff to be delivered.. they said they had no big Lorries available… but to be honest the delivery of our furniture went smoothly and the guys were very helpful.
So Thankyou to Lewis and also a huge Thankyou to Tracey Park who responded every time to my emails and was always polite.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m pleased to hear that the initial quotation process went smoothly and that, despite some difficulties along the way, you were happy with the care and assistance provided by the team during your final delivery.
I am sorry about the delay and challenges surrounding your hot tub and the changes to the final delivery arrangements. We did our best to work with you and accommodate the dates for you to complete this part of the move in the best way we could.
With regard to your owner packed smaller boxes being packed into larger ones, this is actually best practice when transporting smaller cartons, as it helps to protect them and makes handling and transportation safer. However, I appreciate that this meant your clearly labelled boxes became mixed, which understandably made unpacking and placing them in the correct rooms more difficult.
Thank you also for your kind comments about Lewis and Tracey. I will make sure your feedback is passed on to them, particularly Tracey for her continued help and communication throughout.
We appreciate you choosing Britannia Leatherbarrows and taking the time to provide your feedback, which helps us identify where we can improve, all the best

Unfortunately late start which pushed the completion time back. There should have been at least an extra staff. There were two guys who did great work and safely got us to the new address, for that they did well.

House move Spain to Scotland
Brad, Andy, Craig and Danny moved us from Madrid, Spain to the Borders of Scotland. Highly efficient, polite and careful, the move went without a hitch and delivery was completed a day ahead of schedule. Would highly recommend the Britannia team.

Really hard working people
Really hard working people and the care of my property has been exceptional. Mind you if it wasn’t nailed down it was packed, including my handbag with my car keys in it!

Everything went according to plan
Everything went according to plan. First, moving out of our old place, then storage for almost 3 months and then relocating to our new place miles away! Thanks to all the guys who helped with every aspect of the relocation!

Jordan and Danny from Britannia Leatherbarrows were absolutely fantastic. They arrived right on time and immediately put me at ease with how polite, friendly and helpful they were. They took great care with all my furniture and belongings, treating everything as if it were their own.
They worked in a way that was both professional and quick, but never rushed. They also gave me excellent advice on how to pack and organise my belongings, which made the whole move much smoother. Throughout the day they made me feel completely comfortable and supported, and they genuinely went the extra mile to help.
I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It really means a lot to us to hear how Jordan and Danny helped make your move feel easier and more relaxed.
Moving home can be such an emotional and stressful time, so knowing that their kindness, care and support helped you feel comfortable throughout the day is incredibly special. They’ll be so pleased to hear that their hard work and the little extra things they did made a difference.
We’re very proud to have Jordan and Danny as part of the Leatherbarrows team, and we’ll make sure your wonderful comments are passed on to them.
Thank you again for choosing Britannia Leatherbarrows and for taking the time to share your experience. We wish you every happiness in your new home!

We can't recommend the team highly enough! They came to the rescue at the last minute and completed a full pack and move smoothly and efficiently. Their cheerful, can-do attitude made a stressful day feel easy. Huge thanks to Jordan, Brad, James, Dave, Neil, Andy and Danny.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending the team. We’re really pleased we could step in at the last minute and help make what was undoubtedly a stressful day run as smoothly as possible. Jordan, Brad, James, Dave, Neil, Andy and Danny will be delighted to know their cheerful, hard working attitude made such a difference. We really appreciate you choosing us and taking the time to share your experience. 😊
Highly recommended. Service with care and a smile
Neil and James did a fabulous job in moving us from Dorset to Cumbria. Nothing was too much trouble and their sense of humour remained throughout the move. On moving day they were assisted by Andy on the ever changing game of Tetris as they loaded our belongings into the lorry. Despite an overnight stay en route they arrived at our new house almost bang on time. The two guys unloaded in double quick time, again nothing was too much trouble. It’s not the cheapest way to move house but the service is top notch and the care taken sets them apart from some of the “man and van” operators. Can’t recommend Leatherbarrows highly enough. Big thanks to Neil and James.

Lovely review of our services and praise for our team, this is fantastic, much appreciated
Jordan and Danny were fantastic
Jordan and Danny were fantastic. They were helpful, courteous and incredibly hard working. They went above and beyond - even dismantling and re assembling a sofa that wouldn’t go through a doorway - and made a potentially stressful experience as good as it could possibly have been. Throughout, they were good humoured while making sure that everything was just how we wanted it. True professionals, couldn’t ask for better.

Removal team
Removal team, Jordon, Danny, Neil, Andy and Paul were cheerful and helpful despite the rather fraught 2 day move due to circumstances beyond my and their control. The office staff, particularly Tracey and Rob who did the removal quotes were professional and equally helpful. All fragile items were generously packed with plenty of tissue paper by the team and no breakages occurred.

Excellent communication from start to finish. The removal staff were so polite, helpful and professional. They took care not to bump any of the walls or furniture. They worked well as a team and it was obvious they'd had good training in the way they lifted heavy furniture together. We are greatful we had their assistance during our move.
Please pass on our thanks to all the removal staff.

5 star service from start to finish.
Free comprehensive appraisal of house moving costs. Reasonable pricing.
Excellent communication at all stages of the moving process.
The team who actually did the removal were friendly, respectful of house contents, professional and hard working.
Steve (the driver) and Danny had a very long day getting all my possessions and large furniture into the new house.
Thanks to you all.

Excellent service in tough conditions
Both Brad and Andy worked in extremely hot conditions- without complaint. Andy kept us informed of a change to arrival time at pick up. Our driver Brad was an absolute gem he kept us informed of their progress, and checked in regularly.
He was cheerful, kind and considerate throughout pick up and drop off and we cannot recommend him highly enough. A true professional with a positive can do attitude.
