Hughes recently moved us from York to Nottinghamshire. We did the packing ourselves beforehand. The van was loaded on the first day and the team travelled down and unloaded in our new house on the second day. From getting the quote and organising the date, the office staff were friendly and obliging. The team that moved us were very respectful and really did their best to make a difficult move as easy and caring as possible. Absolutely nothing was damaged and they dealt with everything calmly and smoothly. What a great team! We are so grateful and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Cannot thank Hughes's enough for helping me with a last minute move back in January 2019. Incredibly friendly, great communications and made me feel like they actually cared about my move. I had been tremendously let down by David Dale at Christmas and Hughes's were superb. It made my move a breeze and I am very grateful for helping me out of a tricky situation over the Christmas holidays. Highly recommend!! A+

We have moved several times in the past and we have done everything ourselves and it has always been stressful. This time we decided to use a professional service. We could not fault anything, we found everything to run smoothly even though the removals team were running late due to a previous job taken longer than expected. My wife stayed at the old property and when she told me the men were on their way to our new property where I was. She was over the moon, she said the men removed everything with ease and highlighted the fact that they did not scratch any walls or door frames, unlike what

Thanks to Hughes Removals for a great move last week to Church Fenton. Adam, Jamie and Gary were brilliant, hard working and friendly lads and a very helpful Ruth in the office. 5/5. Phil Taylor.
