A difficult move for Anchor as my partner and I were splitting up and so the main house contents had to be delivered to two separate address and very different addresses. On one Friday they took all her contents away to her house nearby in three trips between the house.

"On one Friday they took all her contents away to her house nearby in three trips between the house. About 10 days later they took the rest of the house contents from Manchester to Southport; a three storey town house that presents some challenging lifting and turning but all completed in good time. Two different teams of removal men and they were both great; positive attitude and all done in good humour and efficiency. The three ladies in the office were very helpful and offered good communication and flexibility with my moving dates
Great company to use, can’t fault them"

Moving house is widely known to be a stressful and demanding process, but Anchor Removals made our experience as smooth and worry-free as possible.

"From the very first point of contact, their professionalism shone through. Communication was consistently prompt — every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, giving us complete peace of mind throughout the process.

Over the course of our three-day move, the removal team were exceptional. They were courteous, friendly, polite, and impressively calm under pressure. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, and they went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Their efficiency, care, and positive attitude turned what could have been a tense few days into a surprisingly calm experience.

Anchor Removals truly delivered on every promise. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a move — you will not be disappointed. Their combination of professionalism, skill, and genuine customer care is second to none."

Move from a 2 bed flat to a three bed terrace. Both aspects not the easiest for movers as no lift in the flat building and tight corners to navigate. No driveway leading up to house so the van had to be parked away and all items carried through the back garden.

"This the second time I have used Anchor in as any moves and I would happily use them again. Gavin and Aaron were friendly yet professional, efficient yet careful. All items moved safe and sound. Exactly what you need."

House move. Downsizing from4 bed family home. Few large items, but lots of boxes!

"From start to finish, Anchor removals were amazing.
I mainly had conversations with Jane and Rebecca, who were both polite, efficient and nothing was too much trouble 😊
On the day of removal, we had a 2 man team. They were very efficient and even helped to pack last minute boxes for us!
Reece was like a machine and had a permanent smile on his face and was full of enthusiasm, a real credit to the team. Due to the time and pressure to get everything off loaded at a reasonable time, Anchor was able to send a third man over to our new address for the last couple of hours which was much appreciated by all 😊
I would highly recommend this business."

They moved a very heavy church organ which was done very carefully and they weren’t deterred. Not one breakage!!

Value for money

On the day the vans were over an hour late arriving. All the team introduced themselves and throughout the day were approachable and friendly. The team worked quickly to cover the carpets and then started loading. The team checked in with us and made sure they were clear about everything. At the new house the items were placed in the correct rooms and they helped to put heavy furniture in the right position.

"The office staff could not have been more helpful and understanding during our phone calls; they were kind and supportive throughout our difficulties with date changing etc. Their calls meant we didn’t feel any pressure. On the day, although there were a few hiccups all the movers were polite and efficient. They were respectful of our belongings and did a great job! Their use of our names during the day was a lovely touch and made the experience feel personal. I would highly recommend Anchor Removals to others."

Move involved 1 large vehicle and 1 smaller vehicle to take all our belongings to our new home (1 mile away). This was a downsizing of property and had several challanges for the team on arrival to new property. The large sofa''s had to be dismantled to fit in lounge and then rebuilt. There was a team of three and they worked very hard. About 5 days later the team collected all of the empty boxes and wrapping paper / plastics and took away with them.

"Very impressed with the service provided from start to finish.
No items were damaged.
The team worked very hard and are dedicated to give a smooth service.
We are happy to recommend Anchor Removals for your removal services."

We moved from a 3 bed property in North Manchester to a 2 bed property on the Fylde coast

"Great service from start to finish.
Paul came to assess the move and explained the process.
We had several conversations with Jayne prior to booking to keep up to date with availability.
Scott and Gregg started the packing process on the Thursday. This was completed on the Friday morning with a colleague (sorry can’t remember his name). They all worked so hard.
The move went smoothly and we really appreciate everything as this is a very stressful time in anyone’s life."

We had a 2-stage move from the North West to the South, in May / June this year (2024). Initially we moved our belongings into storage for several weeks, before completing the long distance move South. The move into storage was made difficult because our home was up a hill, with single track access. It took 2 days to complete. The move South was easier but involved a long journey.

"We cannot speak highly enough of Anchor Removals.

Not only was their quote competitive and good value, but their conduct throughout was outstanding.

Anchor Removals were professional throughout. They took great care to wrap and protect mattresses, settees and chairs, wooden furniture, and TVs. The staff were superb throughout and could not be faulted. They also undertook a thorough search when we had mislaid items, helping us to locate the missing items.

We were extremely impressed with the attention paid to wrapping and protecting our belongings, to safeguard them in both storage and transit. They showed much greater care than has been our experience with other removal firms.

Communication lines were excellent too, with prompt replies to phone calls and emails.

4 bed house to 6 bed house just round the corner

"Reese and the rest of the team were fantastic. Nothing was too small and they listened to every small thing we asked of them. They were punctual, hard-working and polite and quite simply we couldn’t have done the move without them. Thank you also to Andy and Scott who worked so hard to ensure the move went as well as possible. Thank you - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!! Tom & Soph"

It involved the careful removal of our large items from our home to our rented accommodation.

"The removal was performed in a timely and careful manner. I cannot think of how you can improve such a good service. I certainly will be recommending your company to my family and friends. We will be contacting you again whenever we are able to return to our permanent home."

From start to finish the move went beyond expectations.

" The lads were exceptional and made the move as easy as they possibly could. Nothing was too much trouble. All our belongings were packed with care from our old house and taken to our new house and unpacked with equal care.
I cannot thank them enough because they made the whole experience as stress free and as pleasant as they possibly could. Not one single item was damaged.

Exceptional there are no words to describe how helpful every single member of staff were."

Move from a Manchester city centre apartment to house in North Yorkshire

"Fantastic experience from the team at Britannia Anchor removals from start to finish.
This was the first time I'd needed the help of a removal company so did a bit of research and got a couple of quotes from local companies. Britannia stood out as being one of the most professional and has excellent reviews online.

Paul provided the initial inspection visit - was very helpful and provided lots of information to read after on the process.

The ladies on the phones/email (Jayne and Ellen) were both super helpful and friendly over the phone.

On the moving day (and the day before), the guys Aaron, Gregg and Andy arrived on time and loaded the van in a prompt, professional and courteous way with all of our furniture and boxes.
Extremely pleasant team and helped us get unloaded in our house in North Yorkshire in no time after we received the keys (late afternoon!).

They provided a large number of very sturdy boxes for us to load up our belongings (and at a good price).

Thank you to all the team - I would highly recommend Britannia Anchor Removals to anyone needing a removal company in the Manchester area."

Paul provided initial visit, then removal guys were Aaron, Gregg, and Andy. Special thanks for Gregg who was fantastic and I would highly recommend using. Special thanks for the ladies on the phones/emails - Ellen and Jayne were brilliant and helpful.

Two bedroom move to a property 1.5 hours away. Our driveway and road was very narrow. We also had a large American fridge freezer. We had large delicate plants.

"Perfect. The team that came to us Andy, Gavin and Greg were fantastic. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We had to have 2 smaller wagons because our road was very narrow and uneven. They packed everything with the utmost care and respect. They were so fast and organised our house was packed in the wagons in no time. At our new house they put every box in the rooms we wanted. There wasn’t a single mark or breakage of anything. Even my precious plants were delivered perfectly. We really can’t praise them enough. They made a very stressful day easier and smoother than we hoped for."

3 bed end terrace to 2 bed end terrace. Client self pack

"The process was very good from start to finish. We changed move dates a couple of times at short notice but the team reassured us that they would make sure the move happened as planned. We packed the house up ourselves and it only took the guys less than two hours to get everything out and less than 90mins to get everything into the new property. We remained in contact via phone whilst waiting for the keys which was really a great help."

I have had my items in storage for over 12months, everything from monthly invoicing to arranging the return of my goods was flawless…

"The day before I was informed of the time slot and in the day the lads arrived as scheduled.
The lads were fantastic, to covering all carpets and stairs when bringing in all my items, putting them exactly where asked…. All the time being extremely courteous and polite.
I will definitely be using and recommending this company again if I require storage or removals.
10/10 service provided"
