The move was from a semi detached on a busy residential street to a new build which was not signposted and was narrow for the truck to get into
 
Cost: £1550
 

"The team managed it expertly and the service was outstanding.

Would highly recommend the packing service if within budget - it saved us so much stress!

The whole service from start to finish was amazing. Jayne at the office was great and dealt with our reservation, the initial inspector for the quote was clear and precise with information and the moving team was absolutely superb.

Everything was packed safely and there wasn't a single scratch on any item, nothing even looking like it had been moved once unpacked.

A superb service and they even moved the quote to allow it to fit in our budget."
 
 
Team:
Jayne, Lindsay in the office and I think it was Jason who managed the move

Move from Rochdale to Northumberland - 3-bedroom property
 
Cost: £2100
 

"Anchor were incredibly accommodating, managing to book in our cross-country move at very short notice due to delays in conveyancing. The office team were very helpful and lovely to deal with, keeping us informed all the way along. The moving teams on both days worked incredibly hard, were careful with all item and kept really positive despite a few challenges and long days. To top it all off their quote was very competitive and we liked the company ethos, particularly being a real living wage employer. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anchor."

Customer Review
 
Moved from 3 bedroom house with difficult layout - 3 levels and a very very narrow lane - they movers were amazing. Very respectful and thoughtful of neighbours due to the narrow lane, packed everything with care and lovely to deal with (plus arrived at 8.30 on the dot as planned!!)
 
Cost: £1000
 

"This is the 4th time I have used this removal company - once a big move from London to Manchester, two smaller furniture moves and one larger full house local within Greater Manchester - so highly recommend!!

From initial call with the office, emails with the team (shout out to Ellen) and the actual guys doing the moving and packing was without glitch and smooth sailing! At a stressful time, such as moving house, they made it an easy and pleasurable experience.

I think it is very good value for money (I was quoted a lot higher for large nationwide removal companies) - not one thing has broken in all this moving!

The most recent was from 3 bedroom house with difficult layout - 3 levels and a very very narrow lane - they movers were amazing. Very respectful and thoughtful of neighbours due to the narrow lane, packed everything with care and lovely to deal with (plus arrived at 8.30 on the dot as planned!!)

I couldnt recommend them more - great local company."

Good swift courteous workers.
 
Cost: £882
 

"Only negative points: took items from old property to take to new without my knowledge so I found items I had wanted to leave behind. On arrival at new property we were asked where items went for first hour, after which they didn't consult me any longer so later I discovered quite a number of items that should have remained downstairs had been taken upstairs I understood chest of bedroom drawers, 2 inall, could be left with clothing inside, 1 of the chests was left as such, the other was all emptied into a large box without me knowing so alot of things were extremely mixed up, clothes with gifts and contact lensesand travel accessories etc."

Move from home in to storage for 2 nights then into new property.
 
Cost: £730
 

"Due to delays in solicitors managing the purchase of my house it became very stressful as I had to move out of my rental property. The Brittania staff were fantastic and pulled all the stops out to ensure my belongings were looked after and that I was supported and listened to. They ensured storage and arranged delivery of my things as soon as they could. I couldn’t have wished for a better service. The ladies in the office kept in touch all the way through as did the removal team, reassuring me and their calm, professional manner made such a difficult few days so much better.
The removal guys worked so hard, and I was so glad I chose Britannia again."

Relocation from Greater Manchester to the coast.
 
Cost: £890
 

"Admin staff were very pleasant and helpful, particularly Lyndsay, who put my mind at ease when I hadworries over whether we'd be able to move on our planned date. Paul was very professional when he came to do the initial removal survey and answered all our questions. The removal crew, Paul and Reece, were so hard working and cheerful throughout a long and tiring day. I was only sorry that I couldn't find the kettle to brew up for them!"

Customer Review
 
Moving from a 3 bed character cottage in Lancashire with plenty of contents to shift, but with an extra garden recording studio full of stuff to contend with aswell. This was a 2 day job to Scotland. 3 man crew and a massive removal truck..... Not the sort of house move you could attempt yourself in a rented van with a couple mates helping, that''s for sure!
 
Cost: £2540
 

"I have nothing but the highest praise for the guys, Gavin, Andy and Aaron from Anchor Removals. They were constantly cheerfully on the go, careful and diligent in the removal of our possessions to Scotland and as a bonus, I think we developed a bit of a friendly bond with them over the 2 day move in fact! (we we re actually a little bit sad to wave them off!!).

The van was spotless and much bigger than I anticipated, but it still managed to be almost full, so plenty of work for the lads. Paul the 'assessor' was also helpful and supplied us with wardrobe and packing boxes and Ellen was great in the office too.

In short, without wanting to seem overly gushing, I can't recommend Anchor enough and in fact have already done so to a couple of friends who are thinking of moving! Well done guys"

Moving a cluttered 4 bedroom house from Westhoughton to Blackpool. Lots of outdoor and camping kit, including items to work at a festival. Packed and transported without any fuss or breakage. They dropped off additional boxes as needed, included in the price, and assisted on the day with last minute items. Would highly recommend.
 
Cost: £1200
 

"A fantastic removal company. Would not hesitate to recommend. Proactive, helpful and organised. Crew had endless energy and skills and were friendly and reassuring too. Even came to pick up used boxes once emptied at the other end."
 
 
Team:
Eek! It's been a while and I can't remember but they were brilliant!

A move of 6 pieces of furniture to 2 different addresses. 3 of the pieces of furniture were extremely heavy and custom build so difficult to move.

"The move went exceedingly well. The team arrived on time, were courteous, helpfully and looked after my furniture. An excellent service. I have used the company many times and always found them to be reliable and good value for money."

3 bedroom semi with specialist and antique furniture. Short distance of 3 miles approximately.
 
Cost: £1429
 

"Felt very organised and went very smoothly with no delays. Staff notified me of their arrival time and were professional throughout the whole experience. The team were thorough and nothing was too much trouble. Although moves can be extremely stressful, the team made it feel relaxed and are a credit to the company- outstanding ambassadors.
Unable to comment on experiences and costing from other companies as Britannia have always moved me."

Moving from a flat to a house with assorted bits and bobs and a very precious bike!
 
Cost: £438
 

"The initial survey was professional, with Chris keeping me well informed at all points. The removal team were punctual, courteous and helpful. And funny. It made what is usually a stressful day much more bearable. We were done in good time and most importantly, nothing was lost/broken in the move! Would definitely recommend."
