A smooth and stress-free moving experience
Bournes bent over backwards to accommodate us when we found out we had just over a week until our moving date. From the first point of contact with Wendy, who was fantastic, our experience with Bournes was nothing sort of perfect. Our Move Manager Jake was on hand to answer any questions and checked in before and during the move. The team we had, led by Matt, was superb and incredibly efficient. All five of the movers were polite, friendly and accommodating, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They took the stress out of the day and ensured we had a smooth move. We wouldn't want to use anyone else if we move again in the future.

Fantastic moving team
Rusty, Alfie and Pete were absolutely amazing. They had our house packed up in no time at all and nothing was too much bother.
The process of moving from NI back to Cornwall took 5days and those boys were like family by the end of it.
If you want a friendly, trustworthy moving team- those boys are your guys!!!!!

We had a fantastic experience with Bournes. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process—special thanks to Julia, who was always so personable, friendly, and helpful. The packing team were brilliant too; they handled everything with great care and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and easy. We really appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail. We’d highly recommend Bournes to anyone planning a move!

True Professionals
The team were all so helpful and everything was expertly packed. Nothing was broken or left behind and the team were incredibly thorough with both their pre-survey and communication throughout the day. Bournes were also very transparent about the breakdown of the costs, which gave me a great deal of comfort. I highly recommend using Bournes for your move!

Fantastic
Fantastic. We picked the three days move and it was great. They treated our belongings well. The movers were brilliant and worked super hard throughout the days. You wont regret picking them as a removal company.

Professional and friendly
I selected Bournes from five quotes. Not because they were the cheapest, but because I had a good feeling about them. They didn't disappoint.
They kept me fully informed in advance of the move and packed everything for me, most the day before we moved and the rest the day we moved. Their operatives were friendly, helpful, and most importantly, professional. I couldn't ask for more.

All the guys were friendly and professional and went above and beyond to help with the whole move. Shout out to the whole team! Thankyou :)
Bournes international removals arranged…
Bournes international removals arranged my move from UK to BE. The team in UK was perfectly on time, even too early. The team (Ollie & Bryan) packed everything fragile expertly. The furniture was dismantled and wrapped properly. It was a long day (8.30-19.30h) But always friendly and customer-oriented. Their colleagues (Tony and Matthew) in Belgium, perfectly on time and very competent. 2 nice and friendly men who put customer focus and customer satisfaction first. Everything went very smoothly (delivery ,unpacking, reassembly ,...) . This is THE company you want to do your move with. Without worries and well organized !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give more stars, I would!
Bournes have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very first phone call, I knew I was in good hands. Julia was the main point of contact and she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring, which immediately put me at ease about the whole process. She kept me informed at every step, ensuring I always knew what to expect, which made such a difference in reducing the stress of moving.
The quotation process was smooth and transparent, with a thorough walk-through to assess exactly what was needed. There were no hidden surprises—just clear, professional service from people who genuinely care about their customers.
When moving day arrived, the team turned up on time, full of energy and enthusiasm, despite the terrible weather. Even in the downpour, they maintained a positive attitude, which really helped keep my spirits up! They worked quickly but carefully, making sure everything was handled with precision and respect. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they took great care to ensure all of my belongings were safely packed and transported.
A huge shoutout to Kit, who was not only highly professional but also incredibly friendly and reassuring throughout the whole process. He is an absolute credit to the company, and his hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.
Bournes made what is usually one of the most stressful experiences so much easier. Their commitment to excellent service, clear communication, and genuine care for their customers is truly outstanding. I hope I never have to move house again, but if I do, I will 100% be using Bournes!
If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly removal company that will take the stress out of moving, look no further—Bournes is the one!

This is my second time of using Bournes for my move, and although I hope not to keep on needing to move, I'd not hesitate to use Bournes again, and I'd certainly recommend them without reservation.

Professional and Friendly
Bournes helped us with our move within London. Emily, our Move Manager, was always helpful, flexible, and proactively reached out to make sure we were happy throughout the moving process. The guys who moved us on the day were efficient and kind—and got the full move done in a morning. From start to finish, a professional service that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again myself.
