Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Code of practice: 98%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the Code of Practice?
 
Description: 100%
Before the move, did your remover give you a clear description, price and timetable for the work to be carried out?
 
Loss or damage: 98%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to a). Liability for loss or damage?
 
Claims timing: 90%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to b). Time limits for making claims?
 
Cancellation: 97%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to c). Cancellation / postponement rights and charges?
 
Protection options: 97%
Before the move, did your remover explain your insurance or other protection options?
 
Claims procedure: 89%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the procedure for making claims and to whom complaints should be referred?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Long distance move from Bristol to Cornwall.
 
Cost: £1450
 

"Excellent service provided in challenging circumstances where dates kept on moving. From the admin team having to constantly re-schedule dates to the physical move, everything was perfect. I would have no hesitation in using M J Christophers again or recommending them to others moving. Price was also in line with other estimates received so there great service was not more expensive than other providers."

A move of about 200 metres down the road so it was completed in 3 stages over 1 day.

"The three men were quietly efficient and just got on with the job at incredible speed. They arrived at the agreed time and completed the task within the expected time. An accident caused a breakage to one item of furniture but the firm immediately offered to arrange its repair, which has been done to my satisfaction."

Moved from one side of the country, into storage for six weeks, then into my new home on the other side of the country

"I have moved home 7 times and this was the most pleasant and supportive experience from start to finish. All contact was highly professional yet friendly and helpful. At all times I was made to feel cared for and respected and the company went to great lengths to meet my schedule."
 
 
Team:

Customer Review
 
We moved from a large 3/4 bedrooms house that was reverse level to a 3 bed bungalow. Throw in a 3.5 week holiday and my daughter and her husband moving us, it wasn’t the most straight forward of moves!! Also we had to change the actual date of moving a number of times due to our buyers.
 
Cost: £1080
 

"These guys were excellent!! From the minute they arrived they were polite, considerate, and very respectful. Nothing was too much trouble! They were friendly too. All of our belongings were packed extremely well. Nothing was damaged and everything about the process was prompt and efficient. I can not recommend them highly enough!! In fact they were so good that my daughter and her husband are going to use them in the Spring."

The move was complicated by the fact that my new home has limited access via a narrow single lane so had to be done using a small van making two journeys.

Cost: £4000
 

"From the initial survey through to delivery the service was exemplary.

The team who arrived to do the packing and the delivery were smart, professional and discreet.

We had some high value items to crate and move and these were dealt with with great care.

The whole experience was superb - I can only recommend them."

My move date was changed and Christophers were able to sqeeze me in over 5 days for a packing and storage service. Four weeks later I was moved into my new home.
 
Cost: £5000
 

" The men were polite and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them even unloading in the pouring rain didn't dampen their spirits.
Thank you to everyone for making my move as seamless as possible.
A professional company with a good work ethic. Staff were clean and smart and worked steadily throughout the day only stopping for their allotted break times."

Removal of furniture and 20 boxes from first floor Apartment and putting into storage. Removal from storage 2 weeks later and delivery to new home.
 
Cost: £700
 

"We used MJ Christophers about 5 years ago to move us from Berkshire to Cornwall.

The service was so good we had no hesitation in using them again when moving homes within the Newquay area.

They arrived on time for the removal, were polite and efficient, and our goods were handled with utmost care.

Our furniture and c. 20 boxes were held at their storage facility for a couple of weeks, at a very reasonable rate.

When it came to moving the furniture into our new home, they again arrived exactly on time, and were very professional throughout.

We could not recommend MJ Christophers highly enough. They make a potentially stressful experience into one that is stress-free.

Moving House contents

"The price was very competitive compared with local company's the lads who did the move did it under very tying conditions, as they got soaked through due to the weather, as it is under most conditions a very trying time at the end of the day we were quite happy.

Would I have them again or recommend them, then the answer is yes, I have already done so with my daughter."

Our move which was complicated was handled very well indeed, would strongly recommend Christophers.

"The guy's where extremely friendly very professional and nothing was to much trouble.
The move involved moving my furniture to storage and then to our new home, my partner's was taken straight to our new home but this was on 2 different days.

It was handled very well by them, ask for Mark and Tom!"

Customer Review
 
A move from a three bed terraced property to three flats which are to be converted into a single property in Truro.
 
Cost: £1400
 

"The three chaps who moved our belongings were absolutely amazing. They were polite and considerate, taking good care of our possessions. Nothing was too much trouble and even ten hours into the move, they remained polite and careful. They worked around us whilst we were in the house and didn’t get annoyed or stressed whilst my husband and I sorted ourselves out. Nothing was too much trouble.
Once we’d emptied our house and driven over to the new property our belongings needed emptying into a three storey house. The men worked tirelessly, taking boxes and furniture to the top flat without any moaning. They just worked hour upon hour without making a fuss. We’re absolutely delighted with the standard of service and would highly recommend!"
