The whole team at Bell and sons, including Jade and Rachel were brilliant! They worked hard, efficiently and carefully. From the packing up , loading and unloading all was done with care and a smile, a real pleasure to deal with and we would not hesitate to use them again! Thank you!

Great experience, very friendly, professional and efficient. Came in the morning to clear out the home, packed swiftly all of our delicate ornaments and items carefully into boxes with their packing service. They were very well organised, working methodically across the rooms, so much so that we hardly noticed them around us. Great service, thanks!

We moved on 28/10/21 and I would very much recommend using Bell and Sons. Jade was extremely understanding on the phone and was very helpful when trying to book. We were having issues getting a fixed date and Jade kept doing all she could to make sure they had availability. On moving day the crew that came could not do enough. All day they were asking if there was anything else they could do. They worked so hard and went the extra mile to get our sofa out of a balcony on the middle floor when removing our furniture from the old property. They were very approachable and could not do enough.

What a team!! Bell & Sons moved us last Friday 29th. We all know what a stressful day house moving day is and having the right team move you is critical to the experience. We got the right team with Gary, Tony and Joe!! Professional, Hard working, Careful, Caring and most importantly kind!! Nothing and I mean absolutely NOTHING was too much trouble. I don't want to sound soppy but we were not only physically moved by the team but emotionally too!! We were glad BUT very sad to see them go!! Bell & Son's these guys were awesome!!! A very happy Cathy & Charlie
