Posted on Sarah StroudTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Soldiers on the Move last week at the end of May. They were amazing, so organised, on time, fabulous teamwork when moving and packing up all our stuff. Very polite and professional, and helpful. Moving is stressful as we all know, I cannot recommend these guys enough. If you want a stress free move day, go with Soldiers on the Move they were excellent!!!Posted on Jo TillotsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Soldiers on the Move highly enough. Despite needing to move at short notice, Nicola helped arrange my move on my preferred date, and was unflappable when she came round to finalise the quote and I was in the middle of packing and everything was chaos. The quote was super affordable, even with a full kitchen pack. I couldn’t believe that wardrobe boxes and all the kitchen packing materials were included in the price. On the day, Danny, Kenny, Jordan and Riley were simply brilliant. In a little over two hours they had packed up the kitchen and loaded the entire contents of my 3 bed house plus garage onto two vans. They took extra care of paintings and artwork, and all the electronics essential for my business. Unloading at the new house was just as efficient! All in, the lads were with me for less than 5 hours. They were super professional and incredibly good at their jobs, but in their professionalism they also balanced being friendly and interested in my move, and very kind. I’ve had not so great moving experiences in the past and this was a whole new world. From start to finish, they made me feel very comfortable as a woman on my own, and I am so grateful that I found them. My mum had heard about SOTM on the news, and they deserve every accolade! I’ve already recommended them to a friend who will be moving in a couple of months, and I would recommend them to everyone looking! Thanks SOTM for making my move pretty much stress-free!Posted on Joe McDonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top experience, Danny & his team eased all concerns from start to finish. We didn’t have to lift a finger. Couldn’t recommend the company morePosted on Gareth ProsserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot speak highly enough of this company. Every stage and ever person i spoke to or dealt with were brilliant. Quotation stage was very easy. I had an estimated move date which moved on a couple of occasions. I looked to pay a deposit but they suggested waiting for exchange to ensure i did not lose any money. In the end my exchange was on the same day as completion and they only ended up needing deposit the day before. Despite this they dropped off as many packing boxes as we needed approx 5 weeks before. The lads arrived on time, all introduced themselves. Friendly and proffesional from the start. They started with a full walk around, final checks and discussions and proceeded to fill 3 vans over the course of the morning. As exchange and complerion was not done yet they then went back to base pending an update. Despite the lack of progress of legal activity they never pushed, acted impatient. Calm and relaxed at all times which really helped to take the stress out of the situation for us. We got the go ahead around 1pm and got to our new house for about 2pm. Unloading was done by 430 including beds, wardrobes and large outdoor furniture reassembled which was a god send. All boxes put in the correct rooms and even a final check at 5pm to see if anything needed moving to another spot. I cannot recommend these guys enough, great set of lads and top tier proffesionals in every aspect. We suggested a friend use them a few weeks later and she was equally as impressed. A huge thanks to you all! 👏Posted on Sarah Khaja-SharifTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keiran and team were amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better removals company to do our house move. They made everything look super easy, I don’t know how we would have moved house without them! 100% would recommend.Posted on Gail BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't be happier with the service & the reasonable price. Three lovely blokes who did everything they could to help me. They came highly recommended and I'm passing that on.Posted on Mandy HeathcoteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express enough how fantastic Soldiers on the Move are! From the start speaking to Sue & Nicola who came round, assessed the job, gave us a quote (excellent value for money) then provided all the boxes, tape and wrapping. They were patient and very accommodating as our date kept changing. The 4 guys turned up on the moving day bang on time, they were so organised, great banter and had everything out the house in under 2 hours, safely packed up. They even put the TV’s in special boxes. We rang them when we got the keys afew hours later and they met us straight away at our new home and had everything unloaded in under 2 hours. From start to finish the whole process with them was absolutely flawless. I would highly recommend them to anyone - this firm would definately be hard to beat, they were outstanding!!Posted on Joi RouncefieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Soldiers on the Move were brilliant. They made the process painless and were lovely. Easy to book, efficient and got the job done quickly. Thank you!Posted on Dawn FudgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Soldier on the move were absolutely amazing when they moved mum from a three bedroom house to a one bedroom flat. Especially as we were nowhere near ready for them. They were very professional and empathetic about the circumstances. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would have.Posted on Allison StottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely 5 plus stars, amazing service from start to finish, an amazing team who took care with our belongings ensuring TV’s, mattresses etc were placed in to protective covers, all carpets protected with coverings. Would definitely use Soliders on the Move again.
