Paul Simmonds provided a brilliant and friendly service from the initial visit through to the eventual move. They were the only company to offer us an 'economy move', as we only needed to get half-a-mile back to our newly renovated house. And while the price was economy, we were still treated as valued customers and helped in every way to have a successful move. We would definitely recommend them.

Chris and team were absolutely brilliant. They moved furniture to our new house and to storage on several occasions; it was not a straightforward move. They could not have been more patient or accommodating, and they were very careful with all our furniture and possessions. They even helped us move a couple of large items that we were disposing of out of the house. They were professional, punctual, polite and always extremely cheerful, we couldn't have done the move without them. We would highly recommend Paul Simmonds Removals.
