For various reasons we gave very short notice for our move. On top of that, Leatherbarrows were able to dig me out of a hole I had myself dug by offering a creative solution to the problem. From despair to relief in one phone call!

"The sales rep, David, provided clear information from the outset offering various options for our particular circumstances. We had gone to Britannia because of extremely good service from another company in the Britannia group and we were not disappointed. We did obtain quotes from another company and David was able to match their figures. For what it's worth,another branch of our family moving at the same time, did choose the other company and had significant issues.

Packing was over two days. I only have a note of the guys who did most of the work on Day 1. Rob, Matt, and Jordan, a great team who worked carefully, efficiently, clearly and professionally throughout the day. Their great sense of humour was a bonus.

After four weeks our goods were delivered from storage to our new temporary home. We were surprised that there was only two guys, Neill and Danny but they worked their socks off and to the same standard as their colleagues who packed us up. We've yet to find the box containing all the broken things!

From start to finish it has been a complete pleasure to deal with this company. The people at the office were no less impressive, Tracey, Claire amongst them. I've just tried to find the name of the man who dug me out of my hole on the packing thingy but without success.

We still have another move when our new house is ready. Britannia will be our first port of call.

My partner & I moved last week from a 400 yr. old cottage that we had been renting to a 200 yr. old grade 2 listed cottage that we have recently bought.

"On the whole, the experience was positive. Brad, Danny and Adrian (AD) were the team from Leatherbarrows who moved us as well as collecting some of our belongings, including heavy boxes from storage. Whilst they admitted that the stairs at our rented property were one of the worst that they had to negotiate furniture down, nothing was too much trouble and this challenge didn't dampen their spirits!

The guys were very respectful of our furniture and covered the mattress and laid covers over the carpets (it had previously been a wet day!)

They worked very hard and myself and my partner have nothing but praise for them...thank you guys!!

Nothing was damaged or broken."

House move between counties, inlcuding all packing

"Team could not have been better, nor the service. We had a lot of stuff needing shifting and the guys doing it worked brilliantly. Moving house is a pretty stressful experience and Leatherbarrows made it as pain free as could be hoped for. Worth every penny, would use them again though I hope never to move house again!"

Britannia Leatherbarrows moved our furniture and belongings from the UK to Spain. They collected our belongings from a storage unit, whilst I was in Spain, and even then re packed some of our belongings, which they thought needed to be better packed. Tracey helped coordinate all the necessary customs paperwork and Richard was excellent regards operations. Even when I was missing a vital piece of customs documentation Tracey and Richard helped me navigate the process and ensure our belongings passed through customs.

"The end to end service was exceptional. At every point of contact the service was excellent; from David's survey, and how accurate he was, to Tracey's kind, helpful and incredibly efficient service also helping me navigate the customs documentation, Richard was also incredibly helpful regarding the operations. Brad and Jordon who worked so hard and carefully unloaded, couldn't have been more helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire service. I would always go to Leatherbarrows first before any other provider in future."

My move was quite complex, it began with a full packing service from my two bedroom cottage, held in storage for a month and then a further full packing service from an extremely inaccessible flat in the Tower of London. Both loads were then transported to my new home in the Dordogne where it took two days to unload

"The whole experience with this Company was outstanding. My complex move to retirement was also geared around the selling of one house, remaining in my work accommodation in the Tower of London, whilst awaiting the completion date of buying my house in France. Leatherbarrows accommodated the timeframe of this complexity perfectly and supported me in what was a very stressful experience. All members of staff were courteous and friendly and respected my world of belongings."

4 bedroom house local move (only 10 miles). As we live in tied accommodation and were moving for my husband''s work we were not paying for the move ourselves.

"Every time we move we have to get 3 quotes, as our moves are paid for by my husband's work. I've always wanted to move with Britannia but we have to go with the lowest quote and this was the first time in 4 moves that Britannia were the cheapest. The representatives from Britannia have always been professional and helpful when providing quotes.

The team did an amazing job and it was our smoothest move yet. We had no damages at all and they made sure we had everything ever where we wanted in the new home. The team were friendly and accommodating of our four children. Having wanted to move with Britannia for some time, our experience certainly didn't disappoint."

Whole house move from Surrey to Dorset.

"Competitive price. On time on day of collection. Extremely courteous and very professional. 2 days later returned to new address again on time. Once more professionally unloaded and always friendly. Highly recommend Leatherbarrows - moving is stressful but these guys were a pleasure. Always they were wiling and nothing seemed to be too much trouble."

Collection of a few items of furniture, boxes and other household goods from an address in Dorset, storage for a few weeks, and then delivery to an address in Newcastle upon Tyne.

"Found it hard to get reasonable quotes for a part load move from Dorset to Newcastle. Leatherbarrows gave a reasonable quote in that they proposed storing the items free of charge and then delivering them to us when they were next coming up north.
Items were collected on the day requested. There was then a slight glitch in that a few weeks later they said they would bring the items and then had to cancel that visit. It was rearranged for a few weeks after that…so a bit longer than we had expected. Delivery men very professional and careful with things, and uncomplaining when they had to take heavy items to the second floor of our house!"

Thank you for leaving us a review. I am glad we found a suitable solution for transporting your items to Newcastle for you and you were happy with the service.

Please let us know if you would like us to assist you again in the future

With a move half way across the country, working with the company to align delivery dates with another client saved us over a third of the cost.

"The team at Britannia were fantastic. From the office staff to delivery crew, everyone was polite, professional and very helpful.
Even though we’d been speaking for a while, I was only able to officially give less than 24 hours notice due to late exchange of contracts. The team were still sat there 9am sharp the very next day to collect all our belongings. Working on one of the hottest days of the year, they loaded us in only a few hours before getting on their way. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. Went without a hitch. Would definitely use again. Fantastic company"

Move into store and redelivery

"The initial visit by the representative was reassuring in the standard to expect.
The team who moved us out were very professional and carried out protection to our home and furniture.
Later after being in storage for some weeks although given three weeks notice they were not able to meet our delivery requirements which was most inconvenient to us and we had to wait a further week.
Prior to the delivery date I phoned the office to confirm the time the removal vehicle would arrive, told 9 to 9.30 they arrived at 9.50.
We advised the driver that we had had the whole house carpeted the previous day and would they put in place all protections that had been previously done, this was not done and we had to request further coverings and no door coverings were provided.
We had expected all our furniture to arrive in one load! but it did not in fact when they completed emptying two pallets we were advised that they had to go back to the depot to collect three more.
But to add a further shock we’re told they had to do another job for someone else before returning with our furniture."

Thank you for your review. All our reviews are important to us and I just wanted to add some explanation to some of the points you have raised in your mixed review.
In regards to the delay in arrival, we regret that we there was a slight delay in this. I am also sorry that the delivery crew did initially fall short of providing adequate protection for you. Our crews are always happy to provide increase the level of protection until the customer is satisfied.
In respect of your request for your ideal delivery date from store, we always try to accommodate this, however during busy months, such as August, it can be more difficult to organise this around other customers prior bookings. We were happy to arrange this as close your ideal date as we could.
In regards to the delivery, this was operated this way due to your delivery address being close to our storage warehouse. The vehicle we used required us to make 2 short journeys to complete your delivery of your goods as you had 5 storage containers in store with us. To confirm, the crew were tasked with another job on this day but not until after yours was finished and completed.
Again apologies that you were not satisfied in some areas of your removal, however it was good to see that you were happy with the sales and support and also the packing and handling. All the best.

Move 1.5 hours away, pack and move. Lots of stuff considering house moving from quite small!

"Was a little surprised at the cost initially, but on comparison with another firm the quote was significantly better. Plus as it turned out it was worth every penny as the team were unfaultable.

Packing was thorough, no losses no breakages. Staff were at all times polite, good spirited and took the vast degree of stress out of moving house.

I would not hesitate in recommending them."

Three-day move from Berkshire to Durham. One day to pack fragile items, take apart beds and load, one day to travel and one-day to unload and assemble beds.

"Although they arrived later than stated Craig and Danny worked flat out to pack and load our house by the end of the day. Nothing was too much for them. On the day of moving in they arrived on time and again quickly unloaded all our boxes and furniture everything being put in the correct room. We still have a few boxes to unpack, though we have unpacked all the fragile items, and there was nothing broken.
All packing material, including wrapping paper were taken by the movers to reuse. Any boxes we had not unpacked when they left will be collected.
We were very happy with the service provided and would happily have Danny and Craig from Leatherbarrows Britania move us again. They helped take a lot of stress out of what can be a stressful situation."

Our move was cross country. We packed the house ourselves and had a 3 day move.

"Andy and Lewis gave me confidence that the move was going to be okay. There was a late change in dates which meant I was struggling to find Friday availability anywhere. Andy was able to offer me a Thursday and a delivery Wednesday afternoon and finish Thursday the following week. As it turned out this was fantastic as the sale completion was held up over a Bank Holiday weekend and we didn't actually complete the purchase till the Tuesday afternoon.
The loading team arrived when they were expected. All were very helpful and efficient. They did the job in under 3 hours, there were 4 of them.

The delivery team arrived on the Wednesday afternoon as indicated and worked to get as much off the lorry as possible by 5pm. They came back Thursday morning and finished the job. There were 2 of them. They had 2 containers on the lorry, so it was very long.
I didn't get all the names, but they were all polite, helpful, good guys."
