This was a long distance move from Cornwall to Derbyshire which required the temporary storage of a number of household items before they were transported north.

"From the initial visit to determine the items to be moved and the cost through to the actual move the team at MJ Christophers were friendly helpful and flexible when plans needed to be changed. On the days of collection and delivery the team arrived punctually and carefully carried out the movement of my furniture and other items quickly and efficiently. Overall an excellent service was provided throughout which made all the difference during a stressful period."

The move involved relocating the contents of a 2-bedroom bungalow to a 2-bedroom house, including standard furniture and some fragile items. There was an awkward staircase at the new property but the team handled everything with ease and care. Despite the challenge, the move was completed efficiently and with no damage.

"I can't recommend M J Christophers & Son highly enough! From start to finish, they were polite, friendly and incredibly professional. I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the whole moving process but they took control of everything in the best possible way. Their calm and confident approach put me at ease and nothing was too much trouble.

It was also clear that everyone involved in this family-run firm takes real pride in their work. They were knowledgeable, efficient and handled everything with great care. Their positive attitude and teamwork made a potentially stressful day go smoothly. Truly outstanding service!"

We moved from a mid terraced house to a bungalow, that was just over two miles away.

"We phoned four local removal companies and two answered their phones and we arranged for their representatives to visit us and give us a quotation for the costs of removal, M J Christopher's were most competitively priced and we accepted their quote, at the time we did not have a moving date, was advised to phone as soon as we knew. in just over a couple of weeks contracts were exchanged and we had a moving date. Every thing was arranged the lorry with the two staff turned up on time and got to work straight away, we were amazed how they fitted every thing in the lorry so professional, and polite, just before mid day on the day, we collected the keys, and arrived at our new home just as the lorry arrived. unloading went just as well as loading and if ever we move again we will contact M J Christophers and would strongly recommend their services."

Sorry can't remember their names but were fantastic.

We had our worldly possessions moved from Cornwall in to storage and six weeks later moved to Devon.

"We first used MJ Christopher’s in 2000 when we moved to Cornwall from Berkshire. In the 25 years we lived in Cornwall we used them twice and then again moving from Cornwall to Devon. So in total we have used them four times for moving and storage.
They are a hardworking, friendly and polite team, who strive to complete their tasks quickly, efficiently and nothing is too much trouble. They take notice of what is written on the boxes and place all items in the rooms as indicated, put covers over doors, put runners down to protect carpets. Once they have loaded they check the whole property to make sure they have not left anything behind. Once unloading they put beds back together and fix headboards, if they have taken a unit apart they put it back together, placing all heavy furniture where you want it placed and before they leave they check if everything is where you would like it and if all is happy with you.
It is a friendly family run firm, which does show in the training, attitude and caring aspect of all employees."

Customer Review
 
The move was from a large property in East Oxford to a house with very limited access in Truro, and involved moving over two hundred boxes of books and a variety of quite large potted garden plants.

"Our experience of the move was really excellent - we were very impressed by the work ethic and professional skill of the team from M J Christophers, and the way in which they dealt with the particular complexities of our old and new locations, and in particular the very large number of books to be moved."

West Sussex - Cornwall we obtained estimates from a number of local companies in mid Sussex and two from Cornwall. Apart from two local companies all the estimates received were around the figure I expected. However, at the start of this process we thought we may need storage facilities and we had a great many (quite large) garden plants in pots. Christophers were very helpful and with this aspect saying the plants/pots could be accepted into storage. As it transpired we did not need storage and the plants were all without exception loaded at the end.

"Mike and Lewis loaded our possessions, nothing was too much trouble for them. They worked well together as a team with Mike expertly packing the vehicle. The vehicle is immaculately kept. They arrived on the first day at the time they said and worked on into the evening. Arriving the next day promptly to finish the loading. We had a day and weekend between leaving Sussex and then un loading (this was planned). This allowed completion to take place on the Friday. Christophers arrived at our new house as they had advised with the addition of Nick who slotted into the team faultlessly and the three of them worked tirelessly. All our possessions were placed wherever we wanted them, into each area of our home. Beds were set up. Moving home is a very stressful thing and having a removal company that helps to remove a part of that stress is worth so much. I have no hesitation in recommending Christophers for your home removal.

I moved from a second floor flat to a terraced house.

"The team was pleasant and professional to deal with throughout. The initial quote was very clear and set out what was covered and what wasn't. Communication with the office was good.

The three movers made the move easy on the day, disassembling large pieces of furniture and loading the van with boxes.

At the new house, two large wardrobes needed to be disassembled to get them up the stairs and then reassembled, which the movers did efficiently.

It was a good experience and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

Removal from Cornwall to MJ Christopher storage facility. Then removal from storage to new house on the south coast.

"Great company to deal with. The office staff are friendly and professional. The furniture was wrapped very well and logged as it went into storage. Mike and his team were very courteous and the removal of furniture was stress free. A large wardrobe was taken apart and would be remade once in a new home. Once our new home was purchased, we agreed a moving date and MJ Christopher delivered all of our furniture to the south coast. Two removal men arrived who were courteous and professional. As the house was topsy turvy two large pieces of furniture were difficult to take upstairs but luckily there was a building team on-site who could help out. The men took a long time to reconstruct our wardrobe but made no complaints. A very successful day."

My move was from Cornwall to Northumberland.

"M.J. Christophers had moved our furniture etc for my late husband and myself many, many years ago. They are a well known family firm in Cornwall and so I obviously decided on their help for a long distance move to be near to my daughter. They really are so experienced and take such good care of everything from start to finish that anyone who might feel stressed at the thought of this part of an impending move is just wasting energy. Just relax and let them get on with it. I am getting on in years and found their stamina amazing and all I did was to offer a cup of tea !
Everything was beautifully packed and cared for and so I would highly recommend them."

M J Christophers & Sons were to move our furniture from Cornwall to Oxfordshire in one trip, however a family health emergency at the last minute meant they had to store our furniture before moving it to Oxfordshire.

"MJC were very accommodating and helpful and after a few weeks storage, we had our furniture delivered to Oxfordshire. Would recommend M J Christophers & Sons for removals."

Moving a dismantled fitted kitchen from London to Cornwall

"The team gave good notice of their likely arrival time and we're polite and friendly throughout.
They were careful and problem solved awkward pieces well.
They gave me time to check that everything needed had been removed before signing off."

Packing up the house; removals to storage facility; 5 months of storage; removal from storage facility to house in Spain

"We obtained three quotations for our move. Christophers weren't the cheapest but gave us the most confidence that they would look after our belongings.
Their proposal was clearly set out and gave us the opportunity to increase the liability insurance in line with the value of our belongings.
The packing of our items was completed with careful attention to protecting our belongings during the moves and while they were in storage. We didn't have any breakages or damage to any items. Out items arrived in the same condition as when they were packed and loaded. The storage facility is obviously climactically controlled - no issues with damp etc.
Communication with the office staff was excellent from start to finish.
We would highly recommend MJ Christophers to look after your move."

House move over three days

"We have used M J Christophers and Son several times over many years. They are always our go to company.

Zena in the office is always very helpful looking at potential dates for us and advising if they are receiving other enquiries for the same dates.

Mike and his team are always very efficient on the day, arriving on time in smart uniforms. They export pack as required and take good care protecting doorways and flooring to prevent damage. They load the lorry well and unload the other end placing furniture in required rooms."

We moved from the north east of London to Cornwall..

" The whole process from first contact to unloading our items went almost without a hitch. Mike and Micheal were very efficient and professional. Our delivery address was challenging to deliver to. The contents of our house was initially put onto one lorry and then transferred to two smaller lorries. The first lorry delivered at the end of the week the remaining items delivered on the Monday. To reduce the cost of our load was back hauled after delivering a load close to us.

As mentioned , it was almost, without a hitch, our neighbours were very difficult and abusive. The guys moved the lorry and carried the remaining contents from further down the road to our house. I have no hesitation in using them, just not for a while though I hope. I have not hesitation in recommending them to anyone else"

Christophers recently moved us from mid-Cornwall to Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire.

"Mike Christopers came personally to view what needed to be moved, explained how they worked and impressed us with his thoroughness.
His subsequent quote wasn't the cheapest but we have no regrets. He and four of his staff turned up on time on completion day and somehow managed to get the sum of our possessions packed into the vehicle. His skill at safely fitting a quart into a pint pot is nothing short of astonishing.
Everything was stored for 4 days as completion of our purchase had been delayed at short notice. Despite the change of date, they managed to fit us in for delivery on the day that our purchase completed.
Christophers' service was outstanding and I cannot recommend them highly enough."

Moved locally over a fews days.

"The team that moved us were great. There was a lot to move, they were very careful and worked hard. We could not have asked for more.
It was a complicated chain and the team in the office were also great in making the arrangements and supporting us in this difficult time."
