EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! Where do I start?.. from Danny first coming round to do a quote based on assessing what needed moving, to the phone calls and constant communication with Connor & Karen and then finally to the lads who moved us and then moved my parents 10 days later.. you were all just fabulous!.. Plus, you moved us all from Lancashire to Nottinghamshire. You were professional, courteous, on-time, took great care with things.. we just can’t thank you all enough! Just sorry it’s taken a while to post, as you moved us 6 weeks ago; just had lots going on. This brilliant business moves everyone, as in, you don’t need a military affiliation, but as a military family, it was great to be able to use you, as we know how well versed soldiers are at packing and moving! Thank you all again, so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Google![]()

We have moved house 6 times in the last 8 years. Soldiers On The Move are by far the best company we have ever used. Fast, efficient, good humoured and friendly. Nil problems, nil damage. What more can you ask for.Posted on Google![]()

We decided on using a full packing and moving service as my health isn’t what it was. The team came the day before, packed everything in good order and were amazing on the move day. Hopefully I don’t move again, if I did I will definitely use them again. 5 star service, thank you for making such a stressful day a whole lot easier.Posted on Google![]()

The whole process from calling Connor panicking that I needed a removal company at short notice, someone coming round to quote, packing service, bed dismantling/rebuilding, and Jordan and team moving a family of 4 with great ease was amazing. Everything went so smooth and the team are super friendly and helpful throughout, thanks guys!Posted on Google![]()
Sally BellhouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We used Soldiers on the Move when we moved house 4 hours across the country. The communication and support from start to finish was easy, clear and friendly. On the actual day of the move the team turned up and were professional, efficient and personable. I couldn’t believe how quickly they loaded up at the old house and then unloaded at the new address. They took such care with all of our furniture, and were good humoured and friendly throughout. Overall they enabled our long distance move to be almost completely stress-free and seamless. I cannot recommend them highly enoughPosted on Google![]()
Tony SteeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We used Soldiers on the move to not only move us from our home into our new property but also to place some of our belongings into storage. I was very impressed with every member of their team that did this for us. They were all extremely friendly and efficient. Their prices were also better than other companies we went to for quotes. I would highly recommend them.

Can We Dispose Of Unwanted Goods/Furniture/Waste?
We can’t directly. We are not equipped with a waste license. However, if you require waste disposal, we work alongside partners that can get the job done for you.
If your domestic or commercial move requires waste disposal, let us know and we’ll factor this into your quote/survey.

We have an immediate fleet of Luton box vans and tail lift access. If your move requires a HGV, we can also accommodate through our trusted partners. If you have additional accessibility or capacity concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us directly and speak to one of our team.
Are we Insured?
Yes. Fully insured and licensed.
What Time will we Arrive?
On the day of your move, our team will always aim to be there bright and early (usually between 8:30am and 9am) though this is entirely flexible depending on our customer requirements. If you need us to get there even earlier than 8:30am, we’ll be more than happy to accommodate (as long as you’ve got the kettle on!)
Please note: Availability may vary on long distance moves due to scheduling requirements.
What are your Cancellation Terms?
Unlike many other removal firms, we don’t take a deposit. If you’ve booked in and confirmed with us and need to change the date of your move, please get in touch with us and we’ll always try and accommodate.
If your booking has been confirmed and you cancel within 5 working days of your move, you may be subject to an administrative charge. This is reviewed on a case by case basis and not always applicable. Simple delays and date changes can always be accommodated. If you’re unsure, just get in touch with us and we’ll talk you through the process.
Do we Provide Discounts for NHS / Ex Military?
We offer a 10% discount for ex/active military and NHS staff. We do not offer this discount to Blue Light card holders.
