Superb service from dealing with initial enquiry , quote and eventual removal. All the staff and removal guys were superb at their jobs. Definitely recommend and use them again.Posted on Google Martin HymanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would highly recommend this company for your move. The guys were all very friendly, very thorough and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had an issue fitting in the garden furniture into the large van provided so they managed to get hold of a second van within the hour at no extra cost. The whole move went really smoothly. A special thanks to Jordan and Karl from SOTM and the other 2 guys who were hired in to help. Thanks again.Posted on Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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.
