We moved into storage in June and after 6 months moved into our new home. Alex and Jasmin made every effort to move us after only 2 days notice of completion of our home enabling us to move just before Christmas. The removal staff were very helpful and courteous, nothing was too much trouble for them. We have no hesitation in recommending.

I highly recommend Houghton Removals. From the initial quote through to delivery of my goods I received an excellent service. There was uncertainty with my move but nothing was too much trouble. I used the storage facility and relocated to a different area. An excellent service all round. Thank you very much.

I would like to thank Houghton Move for the fantastic service they provided for LP Archaeology in moving artefacts from one storage to another. Very friendly and helpful team, yet with highly professional attitude, efficiency, excellent communication and a very competitive price make the company being 100% worth recommendation. Thank you!

Thank you so much! We weren't particularly well organised - still packing when the team turned up...regardless the attitude of the team was very positive and helpful. It turned what could have been a very stressful experience into a great experience. I don't often write reviews but this team deserve it! Incredibly good value for the service they provided - would highly recommend this team to any of my friends or family.
