Excellent - very happy customer

Excellent. Professional, timely and friendly. They were even able to accommodate a last minute change when our move didn't go smoothly.

Excellent, friendly service

Excellent, flexible, reliable service for a very reasonable price (I needed the packing as well). The office colleagues were extremely helpful - happy to answer all my questions and explain things, very timely and prompt communication. I particularly appreciated a friendly and polite reminder about a deadline for making a payment and securing the required time slot - one of the things that you may easily miss when trying to organise a home move.
The drivers/ porters were punctual, well organised and respectful of the property; really nice, friendly lads too :)
I would recommend the service 100% to any one who needs to move house hassle free.

Removals by clockwork dream team.

Removals by clockwork team worked like a dream. Moving all our possessions and safely storing overnight allowing time to get house Spick and span for new occupants.
Also a good night sleep knowing everything was safe till we moved into our new home the next day. All of team were respectful of family, dog and items.

Denying their contract responsibility

I payed this moving company to collect and put in a storage, my on-campus room belongings during COVID-19, in my absence. I signed the contract were it stated that both parties were in an agreement that EVERYTHING will be collected, apart from the things they can’t per contract (I.e. liquids, inflammatory substances, food etc).
I trusted them to collect everything to find out a year later, that many things are missing I.e. pillows, bins, clothes, hangers, boxes, shoes, electrical sockets, towels, even my underwear.

I contacted them to know what happened to my remaining belongings, maybe they forgot to deliver some boxes? They straight forward said that all the boxes have been delivered and that if things are missing to contact my university, basically denying their contract responsibility of collecting ALL my belongings.
I went trough my old emails both between the university and the moving company, to provide proof that they are the one that took everything, and what did I found?
- an email from my university stating that after the collection, the only remaining things in my room were liquid products
- an exchange of emails with the moving company team affirming that nothing was left in my room (apart for the things they can’t take by contract) and that they would have still CHECKED AGAIN WITH a list, provided by the university of objects that are university’s property aka. NOT my missing belongings, to be sure that nothing was left out.

Meaning that either everything was taken during their fist visit, or that everything would have been taken on their second visit to my accommodation; since NOBODY had access to my room apart from them.

I provided proof of all these emails and asked again and again how will they compensate me, since after all they lost a good majority of me belongings. Each time they kept denying their responsibility on the matter and brush it off to the university, who legit told me that the ONLY remaining things after their collection were liquid products.

I’m still waiting to be compensated, which I believe will not happen since all they do is denying their CONTRACT responsibility.

I moved a lot in my life and employed many moving companies to collect and ship/store my belongings, both in and without my absence, but this experience is by far the worst I ever had. I will not trust this company again to the job, and if by some strange reason I will, it will be under my surveillance to be 100% sure that they take everything and that they are doing the job they were payed to do.

Thanks for your feedback. We take all our customer comments and reviews very seriously and use them to improve on our services and quality standards.
In this instance, unfortunately, we can only go on instruction from your university and any items left was their responsibility.

Very quick and efficient service especially considering the amount of boxes I had to be carried down three flights of stairs. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering large and complicated removals and storage.

Disappointed with the service on the day, and the lack of follow through when I raised my concerns. They are not looking for repeat business, as unlikely to move anytime soon, so why should they care!

Fantastic service from Clockwork…

Fantastic service from Clockwork Removals Edinburgh team. Everything was great, from the initial visit to provide a quote, all the way through to the removals itself. The staff were all very courteous and competent. This made a stressful time a lot easier, and for a very competitive price. When we move again Clockwork will be the firm I choose. Would recommend without hesitation.

The office team were really helpful and accommodating at a very stressful time and helped when our dates changed unexpectedly and we had to put our things into storage. The moving team were very professional and friendly, and everything got moved with no problems. Would highly recommend the Clockwork team.

Overall a good experience with Clockwork having used them on multiple occasions. However, when using them on my latest move I found the removal fee to be extreme for a 1.6mi move when compared to a ~60mi move I also used Clockwork for. The 1.6mi was considerably more expensive for the same amount of items and type of transport.

Thanks for taking the time to review us and thank you so much for your continued loyalty - we really appreciate it. Lots of factors can affect pricing and prices have increased since you moved with us three years ago. The time of year can change costs too, August is usually always the most expensive month of year to move. The current HGV crisis in the UK is also, unfortunately, having an impact on our costs as with so many other industries.

Storage Unit to Duplex Flat Removal

Removal was from a storage unit in Fife to a 3rd/4th floor duplex flat in Edinburgh which has no lift access. I was kept informed of progress on the arranged day of the loading and expected arrival time.
Clockwork staff were courteous, careful to protect items and placed furniture and items in specified rooms without complaint.
I would definitely use again for future moves.

Amazing service!

I cannot speak of Clockwork Removals highly enough. They were professional from start to finish whilst moving us from Edinburgh to Inverness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends in need of a great removals team.
Liam and Crystal in the Edinburgh office were particularly helpful with quotes and answering all my questions.

The least stressful part of the moving house saga.

Accommodated our change of schedule, arrived on time, did complete pack and removal quickly and carefully, patiently waited a couple of hours at the new address while the sale concluded. Well mannered and helpful team.
