Moving a 4 bedroom home to a 5 bedroom home in a rural area. The buyers solicitor was a nightmare and the completion date was missed 3 times. Britannia could not have been more accommodating. Andy in particular was a superstar. It was nice to have someone we had already connected with complete the removal. The majority of our home was taken and put into storage with the rest being collected 2 months later when we eventually completed.

"From Laura coming to our home to initially assess what our needs were, to the delivery in our new home - everyone we dealt with was amazing.
We had a particularly nightmarish process with our buyer's solicitor had missed completion 3 times over the course of 2 months.
On the original completion date, Andy came and collected everything bar the essentials to put into storage.
Laura was great when our second completion date failed and told us not to worry and keep in touch.
The third date that fell through - again Laura was great.
Finally we got our completion and Andy came out and collected the last of our belongings to move to the new house.
The buyer's solicitor held up the process by 5 hours, but Andy and his team came out the following morning after checking we had enough for the night.
Great team, polite, friendly and really took care of our property.
Britannia were one of the few companies in this whole process that treated us with humanity. Highly recommend."

I did not realise how many items there were to pack. The chaps in Spain did a fab job packing all the items very carefully - took us ages to cut off the bubble wrap, and the wrapping around all the glassware :-) We did advise the chaps that the bed in the master bedroom would not fit down the stairs and would have to be removed via our first floor terrace and dropped into the garden - this was done efficiently and it was not damaged in anyway. On arrival to the UK, the chaps unpacked as much as possible and also took up the challenge of getting the bed for the master bedroom up the stairs, which was very large and heavy - well done to all.

"The 3 chaps in Spain did a great job packing up our home. 2 additional chaps arrived on the last day to assist with the loading of all our furniture into the track. This was done with great care and attention.

On arrival at our new home in the UK, 2 chaps arrive who had packed up the house in Spain with additional chap to unload and unpack all the furniture again. This was done with great care. They even managed the challenge of getting our large bed base up the stairs and into our bedroom - no mean task as it was very heavy and large. We only had 2 items damaged - 1 broken gin glass(these are very delicate) so not a problem and a foot on the coffee table, which we were able to fix. Thank you so much to everyone to assisted with our move.

David Appleyard from the office in Rotherham was a great help with the paperwork and explaining the whole process of an overseas move back to the UK."

We moved from Beverley in East Yorkshire to Girona in Northern Spain.

"David and his team at Britannia Appleyards were extremely professional and experienced with our house move to Spain, the service was as described and took 12 days from initial loading of our possessions to delivery to Spain.


We would highly recommend Britannia Appleyards in the future."

Last minute notice move from a 3 bed detached house to a larger property in the same village.

"I had been recommended Britannia Appleyard through another company who were unable to provide a service for our date. I contacted Britannia Appleyard on the Friday after it being confirmed that day we would be moving on the Monday. Thankfully they have availability to move us and turned up just after 9am and by 11.30am our 3 bedroom detached home was all packed. Andy and the other two men were polite ans efficient, even helping and giving advice when we had issues with the washing machine!
Andy gave me his number to update him when we received our keys. Once we had received them at 3pm, we were unloaded by 5.30pm and everything was in the room we wanted it to be in. I dread to think what would have happened if they hadn't have been available. The price quoted was very reasonable and although I don't plan on moving again, I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to everyone! Thank you for making a stressful day a lot less stressful!"

Removal of furniture from Doncaster to France

"Very professional from start to finish. David talked us through the whole process and was very helpful. I wouldn’t choose anyone else.

We did have a damaged item from being in storage. Photographs were taken and I assume it he issue is being addressed."

International, UK to Southern France, Personal effects

"Britannia Appleyards are, in our opinion, the best. As an International business we used Britannia to move the personal effects of our staff from New Zealand to the UK [and back] as/when their secondments to our business required. They were a great company to deal with and I never received any complaints from staff – so when I needed to move some of my own furniture from the UK to France [pre-Brexit, in 2018] Appleyards immediately sprung to mind…and everything was seamless, I couldn’t fault the service that we received.

Post Brexit [Feb 2024] I was much, much more concerned, mostly with the paperwork, but knew that David Appleyard had never let us down and that we would be in safe hands. David talked us through all the hoops and loops, and kept us informed every step of the way. What’s more, the driver [Wayne] that delivered to us in March 2018 was going to deliver again in February 2024. It says a lot about a company when the staff have worked with them for a long time; in Wayne’s case, very long standing, and Steve, ‘the porter’, was also into double digits with Appleyards. What a genuinely nice couple [I say couple ‘cause they live and breathe together while on the road for weeks on end] – we couldn’t have wished for a better team.

Moving your personal possessions is stressful, there is a ton of stuff going on and you’re juggling – but knowing that Britannia Appleyards are alongside makes a huge chunk of the worries go away. The staff that rock up at your house are courteous, polite, hard working, cheerful, well presented and take care of your antiques and irreplaceable memories. The way they jigsaw together everything in the lorry is mind boggling, to ensure that the vehicle is packed tightly yet carefully. Who knows what happens paperwork wise, that is another behind the scenes miracle, but out the other end you find yourself in your new house, with everything in the right place. We couldn’t have done this without them all.

We waved Wayne and Steve off at the end of a tough day, but I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last time we see them. I’m pretty confident that David Appleyard’s kids will be in charge one day –they’re not yet out of primary school – so, my advice to you the reader of this long epitaph is to forget the marginally cheaper quotes and use Britannia Appleyards. Rip everything else up and use the professionals!

Our latest move was from Lincolnshire to Cheshire. Total of 4 days split 50% collection and delivery. Our consignment included a vintage Grandfather Clock and a number of outdoor and indoor plants, which all arrived safely.

"This is the third time we have used this remover to handle our house moves including returning to the UK from France. Each time their service has been perfect. No breakages and their men have been superb. Professional in what they do, always willing to meet our specific requests, polite and tidy. We cannot praise Britannia Appleyards enough. On returning from France we used their storage facilities for about 3 months. Perfect storage, no damage and they even watered our outdoor plants. A fantastic company with quality service at competitive prices."
 
 
Team:
David for the organisation and Steve, Wayne, Jack and John for their professionalism, kindness and hard work.

Customer Review
 
Carol and I moved from our home of 20 years situated near Carcassonne in the south of France back in October 2022 to a new build in Cambridgeshire. We were downsizing from a massive property which we had built over the last 20 years - hence had some much stuff. In France we ran holiday accommodation so had loads of holiday stuff including 2 sea kayaks, large garden ornaments, sun loungers, and boxes of power tools and builders bits.

"We choose the Appleyard's team from our previous experience some 20 years earlier when they initially moved us to France. Their team then and now was reliable, professional and clearly the experts. They worked with us during the packing process and were a pleasure to have around.

As to price, I cannot really comment, we just wanted someone to look after our possessions and we were 100% confident that Appleyard's would do this and they did.

If we move again we would certainly employ David and the Appleyard's team again."

Short Notice booking

"With less than a weeks notice to book a removals firm, Britannia Appleyards turned it around for us. They were very efficient, no issues on the day and made it effortless for us. We had a delay which in turn pushed our moving date to the new property a day later, Britannia was not phased but very accommodating. The gents moving us were a great help, very polite and just brilliant.

I would highly recommended."

Moved from Yorkshire to Kent. Worth every penny with an excellent and highly professional team.

"Highly professional company from start to finish. The survey was spot on and helpful, and the removal from one part of the UK to another went perfectly with a highly professional and courteous team. The unloading at the end went well and the team were very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend and personally felt it was worth every penny."

West End South Dalton

"Excellent first class professional service from taking my goods into store in 2021, until delivery out of store to my home in Nov. 3023.
They were very courteous and helpful whenever I needed access to my container(s) whilst they were in store.
Upon delivery to my home both the driver and his mate could not have been more helpful.
I would not hesitate to recommend Appleyards of Rotherham to BBC anybody needing packing, storage and collection/delivery of their goods.
Excellent value for money all round."

It''s the second time Ive used this firm for overseas moves.

"I am very satisfied with the exceptional service from the Office staff to the men who carried out the packing and removals.

My large glass pictures and ornaments were safe and not one item was broken or even scratched! The price was very fair and the staff worked incredibly hard and had difficult tight steps to deal with.

Simply outstanding! From start to Finnish"
