Very helpful friendly staff, put some things into storage until we move home. Not expensive at all, not the usual metal containers these are large wooden crates,you can get so much into,ours is only half full. They invoice you by email which is so much easier. Will definitely be putting more into storage with them.

So far my experience with Nelson the Removal and Storage company has been excellent, very professional. The production of a very high quality and detailed set of quotes which encompass all eventualities due to the current pandemic has been most useful. Only 4 stars at this time as we haven't been able to try the actual move logistics, I'm sure I'll need to add the extra star once a move has taken place.
