Broughton are an excellent company to go with if planning a move. They offer a home visit to give you an accurate and tailored quote. On the day, you can opt to pack yourself or they can do this. They are also able to provide packing materials within your cost quoted. In the day, the team for my move were prompt abd had my while flat contents loaded up, moved from Edinburgh to Glasgow and unloaded in 2.5 hours. All of the team are incredibly professional and absolutely lovely. Would 100% recommend

Fantastic removals company. Helped us with our big move to a new house and they took all the stress of moving away. After all the nightmares you hear about moving, we couldn't believe how stress free they made it for us. Very well priced as we almost paid double elsewhere to get less service. We will be recommending them to anyone we know who is moving. Extremely satisfied customers.

Totally reliable and professional, during our recent move. Kind to our children along the way, and just generally made a potentially very stressful few days much, much easier. There were complications over our move-in date, and the team at Broughton bent over backwards to accommodate us, as our dates kept changing.

Absolutely delighted with the service received when Broughton moved us from Musselburgh to East Saltoun. All of the team were amazing. They were efficient and helpful and did the job with no hassle and no breakages. If I'm ever insane enough to move again I'll definitely use them again.
