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: 94%
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: 94%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to a). Liability for loss or damage?
 
Claims timing: 88%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to b). Time limits for making claims?
 
Cancellation: 88%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to c). Cancellation / postponement rights and charges?
 
Protection options: 100%
Before the move, did your remover explain your insurance or other protection options?
 
Claims procedure: 81%
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.

Move from Ayrshire to Edinburgh would highly recommend

"I had already spoken to Pickfords (who I had used with my last six house moves) however they are not the company they used to be and outsource their work. They also seemed expensive.

I spoke to another local company however due to my move which included storage, was not suitable for my needs.

Blackhall Moving & Storage were recommended by a friend who was aware of the company although had not used them herself.

From the minute I spoke to Vicki @ Blackhall Moving & Storage she was helpful, professional and understanding to my needs.

The boys arrived early to pack up and were absolutely lovely. The job was completed earlier than I expected and we were all soon on our way.

I had to change my move-in day and on the day only just managed to get the keys in time but Blackhall Moving & Storage were so understanding.

The words that keep springing to mind about Blackhall Moving & Storage are caring and professional.

My grateful thanks to Vicki and her boys for looking after me. You should try them as i can't recommend them highly enough."

Uplift of my belongings, delivery to new house 2 days later.

"Blackhall were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Simon and all of the team were just great - punctual, courteous and helpful. Their mettle was tested on moving in day, when entry was delayed because of a problem on the sellers’ side, but they never lost patience, and remained cheerful and helpful through to the (pretty late) end. Their calmness made the whole thing easier to cope with.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

Customer Review
 
Moving from a house we just sold to rented accomodation. Very last garage full of sorts equipment etc to be moved onto smaller storage space.
 
Cost: £600
 

"From the day Stephen came to give us the quote , to immediate follow-up paperwork and confirmation of removal date etc everything was handled professionally and with genuine warmth and personalisation.

Boxes, tape , white paper and bubble wrap were supplied in abundance unlike other Removal companies where in the past I've had to go out and buy extra.

On the day , the team arrived on time , were smartly dressed and made very effort to ensure that items were packed carefully , furniture was protected with covers and even the front doors were covered to prevent scratching.


Only one very brief coffee break and the removal was finished very quickly. Furniture was moved around in the new house till I was happy with its placing....and given that the house has three floors that was not an easy task. The guys could not have been more helpful."

Moved from central edinburgh into Blackhall storage for six weeks, then Blackhall moved us into our new home, all without any fuss or worries. Great company - if your moving ask Blackhall to do it for you. NO breakages, guys were lovely and Vicky kept us up to date with pick ups, deliveries and answered all our stupid questions making us feel respected.

"Brilliant company from Vicky in the office to the youngest removal men they were all so superb.
AS I SAID BEFORE IF YOU ARE MOVING HOUSE YOU CANNOT GET A BETTER COMPANY TO DO IT FOR YOU.

We thought about hiring vans asking friends to help going to a storage unit and then doing it again in reverse. So glad we didn't."

Customer Review
 
We moved a short distance from 2 storey house into a ground floor apartment (temporary accommodation)
 
Cost: £1122
 

"The introductory meeting was really good and filled us with confidence. The week we moved, the person who had seen us was actually on leave and I think this did impact on the experience, particularly in terms of the pre removal packing which was a bit haphazard and not fully discussed with us. However once we were more directive there were no problems at all and in fact on the day of the move the team couldn't have been more helpful. We have pre booked them for our next move which is likely to be within 12 months as they helpfully gave us a quote. I am very happy to recommend this company."

From a basement flat to a ground floor flat with doing my own packing.
 
Cost: £720
 

"Materials for packing were delivered in good time as agreed.
Very accommodating in the planning and negotiation.
The move itself was efficient and considerate. Very patient with the delay for the new keys becoming available, keeping in touch for progress report.
Very smooth unloading process and helpful in placing furniture & boxes where requested.
Prompt pick-up of packing materials, at my convenience, when un packed."
