Report
Used Kilmarnock Removals to move into a rented property and will definitely use them to move from there into our forever home. Surveyor came out on 24th Dec despite only calling for a quote on the 23rd. Booking the service and follow up communications were spot on. The removal men, Paul and James, arrived as scheduled and emptied the house quickly and carefully . They were really nice and friendly and made the removal process an easy one.

Great team of guys, very pleasant, very hard working, and nothing was ever too much for them (and we are demanding customers). Would definitely use them again, and would recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a move. In what is a stressful enough time, moving was certainly a lot easier with these guys. Thanks Team.
