Christian and his team were outstanding. They managed to fit our move in at short notice and couldnt do enough for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cooksons.

Mark and Gary from Cookson & son moved us today from Cleveleys to Blackburn they worked so hard filling and emptying two large vans. I cannot thank them enough for what they did and made a stressful day so much easier.

We used Cooksons to move and store our household possessions whilst we were waiting for another house to be available. They were reliable, well priced and the 3 guys that came to do the removal were all extremely friendly and professional from getting the house emptied in less than 50 minutes, having the vans clean and tidy (right down to boxes and protective blankets being all neatly folded and stored) and having a quick look in the vans as they were loading every in all our stuff was well stacked and protected. Brilliant service!!
