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: 88%
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: 96%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to a). Liability for loss or damage?
 
Claims timing: 79%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to b). Time limits for making claims?
 
Cancellation: 87%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to c). Cancellation / postponement rights and charges?
 
Protection options: 90%
Before the move, did your remover explain your insurance or other protection options?
 
Claims procedure: 76%
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.

From Victorian mid-terrace to 3-storey house.
 
Cost: £672

"Removers arrived promptly and worked quickly. Most stuff was in boxes but they also moved things in holdalls, crates etc and provided extra boxes as needed. On arrival they worked very hard, moving many boxes to the top floor and trying their best to get our furniture up the difficult stairs(-didn't manage sofas but disassembled and rebuilt wardrobes to get them up) They were brilliant."

House move without much furniture (builds?) so tricky for the men.
 
Cost: £646

"In relation to code of practice all the information was probably included in my email confirmation but as it who only sent three days prior to the move I didn't have time to read it, it was not explained verbally when the survey was carried but really happy with service received!"
