A very professional service. This being our 17th move we have seen how not to do it - but Dan, Mark and Sean from Britannia were simply brilliant! Care at all times, polite and VERY hard working. From the moment they walked in and protected the door to picking up a box every time they transited the house - just great :-).

Britannia removals were professional, friendly, respectful and did a great move for me when I relocated 300 miles away. Daniel, Sean and Terry packed up the house quickly, putting dust sheets down and never knocking any of the internal walls. From the initial enquiry when I received a home visit to establish the amount of "bits" I had to move, right to delivery down in Cornwall.
Daniel and Sean down in Cornwall were amazing. So thoughtful and respectful of my property but also the house I was moving into. They assisted me with care and patience. I would not move with anyone else in future other

Huge thanks to Britannia for carrying out our move in July from Cheddington, Bucks, to Wantage, Oxon. They did so with very short notice and coped well with the complications of the move. Special thanks to the team of removers (Mark, Sean, Mick and Terry) for their incredibly hard work in getting us packed, loaded and unloaded across three days. They were a good team, very focused and industrious, and we were impressed with the way that they took care with one another whilst moving the heavier, bulkier items.

Very professional and competent company. Good communication and prompt replies to any questions. They packed, stored and shipped my belongings from the UK to Chile during a pandemic and with the minimum of fuss and drama. Everything arrived on time and in excellent condition.

Really impressed with the can do approach and the experience of the team. The property that we moved in to was a real challenge trying to navigate large furniture items around tight passageways and stairs and the experience and professionalism made it happen! 25th move for us and the best removal company that we have experienced all round from front office service to survey to the move. First class.
