All removal from previous house fine. Could not enter new property as solicitors on chain hadn't given the go ahead and so final entry to the property was very late. Your staff had to unload all down a lane where only one wagon could get through.

Packing and moving from a 4 bed detached to a slightly bigger 4 bed detached 20 miles away.
We had a solar battery to move which 15 extremely heave. This was moved with great care.
 

"The team were very efficient and courteous.
Nothing was damaged or broken and it made what could have been a stressful day very easy. No complaints. "

Customer Review
 
Archers packed my property up in November and took everything into store for 4 months then moved it all into my new house.
My original property was in North Yorkshire and my new house was is in Cambridgeshire
 

"Archers moved me from North Yorkshire to Cambridgeshire and stored my furniture for 4 moths in before I have been extremely impressed with the service I received from the outset. Every member of staff has been friendly, efficient and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and each of them was willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was happy. I definitely chose the right removal company and I highly recommend them. "

Customer Review
 
Move was a short distance, downsizing. I packed my own boxes. Some special fragile furniture which was treated with respect. On the day there were 2 vans and 5 shifters!

"They were very quick and efficient at loading (though my careful planning of boxes for each room was mixed up as the boxes were packed in most efficient way for the vans). Once at new place I was in great demand from the 5 shifters as to what went where - rather overwhelming! But they got everything in safely and respectfully. As the boxes came off last they were put into the dining room and its been very difficult for me to drag them to the correct rooms but apart from the vital box of laptop and paperwork being buried and "lost" for a few days, nothing that won't be managed gradually.

Excellent service, very professional from start to finish. Felt my personal situation was acknowledged and my frailties accepted. The 5 removers were polite and respected and careful. The only thing I would say was that being on my own it was overwhelming when 5 people were asking me where to put furniture all at once and I ended up with a room full of boxes which should have been in other rooms and due to my personal weakness and poor health its been a bit of a struggle. However they were very good at managing the furniture into place and I cannot fault them.
I would (and have) recommend them to friends and family."

Customer Review
 
Relocation 10 miles within the county, from a 5 bed detached/double garage to a 4 bed detached/single garage. The move included a large quantity of fragile and valuable collectables which require particular care and handling, several terms of soft-wood painted furniture which again required protection to surfaces whilst in transit/handling. This was a self-pack with the exception of large items/pictures which Archer''s took care of. The majority of cartons for packing were provided new by Archers.

"We canvassed 4 removal companies and chose PW Archers. Mr Geoff Archer exuded confidence and reassurance during the quotation period and instantly provided solutions to any potential complication - this was not the case with the other companies who simply highlighted problems.

The quotation was not the cheapest but taking into account the above, we felt this was the strongest tender for us.

Packing boxes, good quality tape, wrapping and portable wardrobes were all provided promptly and on completion collected without delay.

On pre-move day the crews arrived punctually, the crew supervisor made his assessment and very quickly the team set to work promptly, loading the vehicle in a logical manner taking care of all items. All of our carpets were covered within protective mats. Furniture/picture/glass nature were protected with heavy duty blankets, card etc. and all matresses were bagged.

On completion day, despite late release of keys and poor (wet) weather, the crew, plus additional teams members, set to work unloading the 2 lorries - again all carpets and floorings were covered with protective mats. Our brand new fresh tarmac drive was protected from the steel ramp.

The core crew team over the 2 day period were great - friendly, cheerful, efficient and professional and are a credit to PW Archer. Some of the extra team members assigned to assist with the unload were not quite as cheerful, having already been on other jobs that day! Even tea/coffee and donuts did not seem to raise their spirits.

Our overall experience with PW Archer Removals was first class. Moving house is recognised as a very stressful event and Archers helped to make this process more palatable and eased the stress from us. Everyone worked very hard to ensure a smooth transition and to keep us reassured throughout the 2 day process. We would highly recommend PW Archers."

North Yorks - Stafs. House to Bungalow but similar footape Large garage with above average contents. Decided in view of 10 mile trip to move all contents to Cheddle as the 'trip' only 1/4 mile! Archers were very understanding and we managed to work out a 2 day move rather than 3 and still avoid the legal hold up pm
 

"Excellent service in every way. Although a small company the organisation was first-class. Everything arrived safely I was offloaded in quick time due to extra staff in the back-up vehicle.
Our Victorian wall clock was damaged but has been repaired. It transpired that a poor spotweld failed due to vibration etc.
The cost was under £50 and we don't wish to make a claim.
The understanding of the client's requirements was perhaps the key to our very successful move."
