They stored our furniture for several months and then delivered and unpacked. Responded quickly to all the changes we needed to make, both by email and phone. Detailed and clear quote. Removal guys were excellent. Considering there was a huge amount of mud in the road when delivering our furniture, inside was kept completely clean. Everyone polite and reliable, and they had to work with another firm who had initially packed our stuff. Great job.

I used House and Carriage for my recent house move and I can't fault the service they provided. From the moment I called them, they were friendly and very efficient. It was also great value-for-money for the stress it saved me!. I used their packing service as well as the removals service and both were great. The move itself went very smoothly, the team were polite, friendly and efficient and the whole thing went like clockwork. I would highly recommend them!

We used House & Carriage to move into our new house last week. Fantastic service from the booking team through to Josh & Morgan who helped move us in on the day. Would absolutely recommend.
