3 day move from one part of Gloucestershire to another, involving a cluttered, four bedroomed house, and even more cluttered, garage and garden !

"Herbert Davis were absolutely fantastic. Our completion and exchange dates kept being changed because of complications with a long chain. Maxine was incredibly patient and reassuring and accommodating. In the end at relatively short notice they were able to arrange a complicated three day removal. The whole team were friendly, clearly very experienced and professional. The banter and kindness on the moving days turned what could have been a horribly stressful experience into a far more manageable, and even quite enjoyable one. amongst our belongings were some treasured heirlooms, which they took great care in moving.

After the move, they were very accommodating in collecting all the boxes and moved a very heavy item of garden furniture into place. We would highly recommend this company and good family run business with great credentials and a brilliant team."

I moved from privately owned property to a rented one only a short distance apart in the same town. The buyer of my property coincidentally booked the same removal company as me so as soon as I was out of my old house and in the new one, the removal people (Shayne and Simon-I think, apologies if I got his name wrong) for my buyer came to help me and my removal people (John and Steve) whilst the buyer was waiting for the keys to my old house. When they finished unpacking my stuff all 4 of them went to my old house to unpack my buyer. It was great to see how they helped each other and didn''t waste any time. It was all very efficient. I was very impressed.

"The experience was beyond my expectations. From my first call to Maxine and Andy including a few consequent follow ups due to change in completion date. They were very polite, accommodating, understanding, extremely helpful.
The day before the move, John came to pack my belongings. A very nice gentleman, polite, punctual, efficient. His packing skills are exceptional.
On the day of moving (next day) he came with Steve who was equally nice, polite, efficient. They worked well together and laughed a lot even when moving heavy furniture. It was amazing to see.
They provided lots of good tips and advice for example where to place furniture in the new house so that it works etc.
And when the other guys came to help it was like a conveyor belt. Fast and furious :-) Incredible work. I couldn't have done it without them. I would recommend them 100%. Thank you."

Herbert Davis moved me from Cheltenham to Exeter in April 2024.

"The crew were brilliant, they courteous, friendly, helpful and really patient when the buyer turned up and made logistics tricky.

I'd highly recommend Maxine too, who made the process of booking times and delivery really easy.

It was a next day delivery, and the crew turned up at 9.30 and thoughtfully covered everything from the shed to protect it, until I could order another one.

Thank you."

Rescued us at very short notice after we were given less than a week’s notice of exchange and completion (happening on the same day). Really helpful in terms of knowledge and spotting potential problems, advising us of the process etc. Moving from a 3 bed terraced with lots of plants in pots in the garden that had to be carried through the house as no alternative access, to a detached house on a shared private drive.

"The guys treated all our possessions carefully, put them all in the rooms of choice and were lovely and helpful.

The guys were punctual and polite. Conscious of other traffic so moving the trucks as necessary to accommodate them. They treated all our possessions carefully, helping to remove a couple of screws from last minute items after we packed the screwdriver! I was worried about the plants because of their height and weight but they managed to move them. Held the dog when we were having to deal with the estate agent and the dog was freaking over the shiny floor. Put all the items in the rooms of choice and were lovely and helpful. Had been quoted by two other companies, both cheaper, but the knowledge and reassurance Andy Ford gave us meant we chose Herbert Davis. There was no messing about, Andy could tell I was already very stressed so I was very grateful he secured the booking quickly. All the guys on the day were absolutely fab too. Massive thanks to them all, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the firm to anyone."
 
 
Team:
Andy Ford, not sure of the names of the lead guy on the day - Simon?He was fab too. The guy who did the really heavy lifting was amazing too.

Move from small semi-detached to a park home, including a collection from a storage unit.

"When dealing with the office they were polite and helpful. We requested a quote which arrived swiftly. Nearer the move we had to change the location of the second collection, which was agreed.
On moving day the van arrived promptly and the two removal men introduced themselves and asked to be shown around the property to review what needed to be taken. Then they put down their own rugs.
They got on with the move, going from room to room, and provided wardrobe boxes (which were pre-agreed), to avoid us having to put all clothes in boxes.
They had 1 break during which when they swept out the van.
2 hours later they had packed the van and drove to the second location.
Then they drove near to the destination address and waiting for 'the call'.
When we called them to say we were on the way with the keys, they got ready and when we arrived they had dropped the tail-lift and created an aluminium bridge to the steps of the address, to avoid the steps.
There was an issue getting in, but they were helpful and patient - we were extremely stressed at this point!
Again they asked where everything was to go, put down their rugs and got on with the job. 2 hours later they were leaving.
We cannot rate their work highly enough."

We can't remember the names but one had the nickname 'Ringo'.

Downsizing house move

"Herbert Davies took all the stress out of moving! Very calm and professional approach before the day which put us at ease. On the day they were very efficient and careful in the way they worked. Listened to our concerns about the challenges the new property would pose and acted accordingly. All in all a good experience and would recommend Herbert Davis"

Pack and move over 2 weekdays to two different addresses in another County.

"From my initial telephone conversation with Maxine in the office at Herbert Davis, I felt encouraged that although daunting to me, this pack and move was perfectly possible for their team. I was able to request an in person assessment of the property and garden, from which Andy was able to provide me with a clear plan and quotation.


From Andy's first assessment visit, he came across as a calm professional individual who very much took things in his stride and was second to none at calming my very nervous disposition. A friendly demeanour was such an important element for me.

Maxine handled the many variations of prospective move dates efficiently and with a sympathetic ear to what was becoming a very trying time towards exchange and completion.

This move was over two days, day one packing and loading and day two was transporting to another county and to two different addresses. Unfortunately owing to health issues neither myself or my husband could assist with much more than making tea/coffee and biscuits but the Team never once made us feel awkward or embarrassed about our situation, which had weighed heavily on my mind. We were regularly reminded they were here to do the job for us.

Emotions were running high as this was the clearance of my late parents belongings and I was feeling completely overwhelmed. Andy and his Team, including Maxine in the office, were amazing. They were so professional and considerate but most of all they were compassionate with the way I was feeling. All of the possessions were packed with care and then swiftly but carefully loaded. They handled all of the many garden items as well as the house itself.

They reassured me that it was not as daunting a prospect as I viewed it as they do this all of the time and they worked so hard and achieved so much in two days. They were always helpful with advice when asked along the way.

I will always be grateful to them and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering removal companies in their area."

The move was very pleasant , felt stress free well as much as it can when moving . The removers made the move a lot easier for me and our family

"Herbert David were amazing from start to finish . I had move with short notice as there was complications along the chain , and didn’t give them a lot of notice . I had excellent service from the communication from the main office and excellent service to the men that moved us .
We did all the packing so they didn’t need to help with that .
There arrival was very prompt on moving day , the just straight to work and they worked there socks off . I was amazed on how quick and efficient they were . At the arrival of our new house they always checked in to ensure they were placing our items in the correct room . They were careful with everything we had . The team was friendly and polite . I will always use this company and will always recommend them to family and friends .

Move from two bedroom town house with basement to two bedroom bungalow. Single parent with disabilities.

"It’s unusual to find an organisation that far exceeds your expectations and are willing to be flexible to accommodate your specific needs. So Herbert Davis were an exceptionally lucky find and are in my opinion Gloucestershire’s best kept secret!

Not only was the move careful, efficient and professional but the team were also unusually respectful, considerate & cheerful throughout the day and often went above and beyond to help wherever they were needed. They are all an absolute credit to the removals industry.

From initial contact to the end of the move Herbert Davis were consistent in friendly & professional service. I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone requiring removal services.

Thank you all. You are very much appreciated."

Our move was not very straightworward, even tho it was only about one mile within the city. The day before the packers were to come in our solicitors told us our buyer had failed to get his money released and so we could not exchange and complete as planned. This involved a cancellation and a penalty charge, which Herbert Davis kindly reduced from 75% to 50%.

"We have nothing but praise for the speed, cheerfulness and skill of the removal team. Packing things up that we would have struggled to know what to do with.

All well packed, no breakages!

Of particular importance in selecting Herbert Davis (there was a close competitor) was that they would dissassemble beds and furniture. Very helpful.

Customer Review
 
I was moving from a big 4 bedroom house [with an annex, large greenhouse and shed] to a much smaller bungalow [in floor area] that was nearby. HD sent a team of four the day before to begin the packing. They were all very pleasant and worked well. The next day [of the move] the next house''s keys were not available until early afternoon and it was discovered that not all my stuff would fit into the pantechnican, so it was decided to send it off, quickly unload and then send it back to finish off. Luckily, the distance was small and only a matter of minutes. Because it was now getting late, HD sent three more workers to help speed up matters. It was finally finished at about 8.30 pm. Although I haven''t yet finished unpacking, everything so far seems fine, although I haven''t yet found everything I want. One drawer of a rickety tool box seems to be missing - but it''s probably there somewhere amongst the unpacked boxes.

"I thought that it was very easy to deal with Herbert Davis. They were polite, efficient and helpful and gave me a very good price.
Although I have put 'No' to some of the Code of Practice questions above, it might just have been that I was asked to read the various documents which will have explained these things and I don't remember being asked to do so. One expects to read them and is expected to do so. So, no complaints there.
The only fault was that there was a misappreciation of how much stuff I had in my old house, garage and garden, which meant a second trip for the pantechnicon. It was fortunate that I was not moving far. However, I'm sure that for a move over a longer distance, much more leeway would be given.
Herbert Davis are a family firm and are very helpful and nice to work with, as were all their packers. I would recommend them highly."

We moved from a large 3 bed semi, 2 miles to a large 4 bed detached with less than a week to find movers and with a newborn. Some furniture needed dis/re-assembly and there were garden items to move too.

"The quote process was fantastically fast, Andy made a point of coming out and fitting me in on the same day as the move was so soon and I had a newborn baby so was quite anxious about it too. He was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. Due to the short time frame he reassured me and got me booked in the same day.

Maxine was my correspondant via email for all the paperwork and was quick to answer my queries.

On the day, Andy and Simon arrived with the lorry at the agreed time and immediately began the job of loading things up. They were both cheerful, polite, and friendly through the process and took great care to get everything safely and professionally packed into the lorry. It was about as relaxing as a house move could be! Once packed, there was a quick and well deserved lunch break before unpacking began at the new house - with the same professional and friendly attitude as before.

I would not hesitate to hire them again, and highly recommend them to anyone moving! My only qualm was that I stupidly packed the kettle and mugs too soon and couldn't offer them a well deserved hot drink during the move."
