Excellent service. The Burrows lads went above and beyond when we moved house in October 2020 - from planning and pre-packing to their efforts on the day. They deservedly have an excellent reputation and we have recommended them to friends who are in the process of moving.

We were moving a long way, to the north of Scotland. The whole service provided from start to finish could not have been bettered. The men worked extremely hard (its a blooming hard job) and they were kind, careful, and professional throughout the two day removal. Lee explained everything very clearly and any queries I had were answered promptly. The price was really good for an extended removal to a remote place too. All our stuff was looked after carefully. No drama just a really great service.

GB Burrows did a brilliant job for me, moving me from Kendal to Manchester, with a visit to a self-storage on the way. They were professional in every regard and extremely efficient, I was in my new home by about 3pm.

A fantastic service, moving us from Kendal to Shrewsbury. The team right from the initial quote were so friendly and accommodating. On the day we moved the team were punctual, courteous, and rapid. Taking care of all our prized possessions. They arrived at our new property at the time they stated, (even helping the old people carry their last few bits out) and unloaded everything quickly and efficiently. We really couldn't fault anything about the whole experience. Would highly recommend using them for any move. Thank you.
