Great from start to finish, everyone at B&S was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, helpful, careful, taking the time to ask where things were going and even agreeing to move things to a different location when it didn't quite work the first time. They packed everything so well, kept everything clean, and we have had no breakages. This was the best house move we've ever had, thank you B&S!

Highly recommended!! We had a complete pack and move. The chaps were all lovely. Strong and hardworking as youd expect, but also really considerate, checking how wed like things packed, and super careful with all our things. Nothing was damaged or broken! We actually had a good laugh with them - a first for moving house!! Weve moved quite a few times over the years, so have used a few companies - this company is definitely the best weve worked with. Before they left, they asked us to look round the house to check everything was where we wanted it. Nothing was too much trouble. Some

Bonar and Sons helped us move house about 25 miles just before Christmas '20. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They worked tirelessly throughout the day and barely even stopped for coffee breaks. Having seen a great number of people move recently, we realised what a difference a good removal company made and we are so pleased we chose Bonar & Sons. From the initial estimate visit to them unloading at our new house they were efficient and professional throughout. They also represented excellent value when their services are considered. We could not recommend them highly enough.

The team were absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using house removals so we were nervous about moving and how the process would go. The guys instantly calmed our nerves! They were calm, professional and nothing was too much trouble. The whole process took less than 4 hours. It made our moving experience a very positive one, and we would not hesitate recommending them to friends and family. Thank you!

What an amazing team! We recently had a large house move and Bonar & Son handled the packing and moving of everything (including an upright piano). From the initial visit by Emma, to the end of Moving Day we felt we were in safe hands. They cheerfully got on with the packing and moving over three days, during which time they also had snow and rain to contend with, not to mention a very tricky driveway to handle (well done Tom!). They were very friendly, and worked fast but competently, and there was not a single complaint about the awkwardness of the staircases in our new house, even though there
