We used them for our recent move from London to Norfolk. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Polite, professional and very careful.

A&S provided an excellent removal service for us. We were impressed by the attention to detail in the preparation; both in visits to the 2 properties well beforehand, & on packing day. On move days (complicated due to a hoist & large items) the team were hard-working, reliable, friendly. However, after the move a couple of issues arose. When we contacted the MD to "complain", the speed & manner with which these issues were resolved was fantastic. No move is perfect & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A&S. I believe that the way a company deals with problems says a great deal. Will use again!

Arnold and Self moved our business (Gym) from one location to another. They were so helpful before hand and during the move.
Arrived on time and got straight down to business. Nothing got broken or damaged. We would highly recommend them.
