Furniture removal from a 3rd floor apartment with no lift.

"This took a lot of stress out of the house move. Clear, simple, on time and all done with a smile, yet professionally. Very reasonable and the furniture stayed in dry, secure storage with them for a year, also at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended."
 
 
Team:
Warren and co - superb. And Karen at the office - immediate, clear communication.

Our move was a downsize from a large detached house to a slightly smaller bungalow, do it was very interesting trying to fit in 20 years of stuff boxed up into a smaller place but we managed for now!

"To Ciaran and the whole team
A note to say a big thank you to the whole Pickersgills team. From the initial video call to the departing of the vans at our new place your service was outstanding. Karen’s patience in the office was tested on several occasions but throughout she was professional, helpful and understanding.
The team on the day lead by Daniel were brilliant and completely eradicated any stress felt. They were professional and efficient throughout and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the placement of our belongings.
On a personal note thank you Ciaran for your understanding and help at a difficult and stressful time.
We cannot stress highly enough that your whole team are a credit to you and the company as a whole.
Thank you
Michael and Karen Tiffany"

Moved from three bed house to a flat the sale didn’t go together so had to put furniture in storage for couple of weeks.

" The company did very good moving into storage then moving into flat a few weeks later. The lads were very good as they had three lots of stairs to contend with. They were very good on time the young lads worked well and the move went very smooth a stress free . The cost are little more than other removals but they are very proffesional"

4 bed house in Saltaire to 3 bed house in Baildon

"Would highly recommend this company, from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. Ciaran came to quote and explained every step in detail. On the day we had several complications on the purchase side, it was extremely stressful, however the guys took it in their stride! They all went above and beyond and worked liked Trojan's, even in the heat. Supportive and professional throughout, I'm so grateful! Thank you, and if I ever move again, I wouldn't even consider anyone else."

Went from 4 bed detached house into storage briefly (2 months) and then delivered to rented basement flat. 12 months later moved into our purchased 2nd floor flat where there was no lift.

"From the first contact to the last all staff were professional and friendly. All services were delivered exactly as promised. Didn’t hesitate to request their help for our second and final move."

Customer Review
 
We moved a distance of some 70 Miles from Bradford West Yorkshire to Scarborough North Yorkshire on 31st August 2022. The move not only involved the contents of the House but also included contents from a Large Engineering Workshop containing Machinery and Equipment. The move involved Removal and Storage which covered 2 Days. It was all completed with perfect timing and efficiency .

"Other parties involved in the Completion of the House Sale kept changing the moving date and on contacting Pickersgill's to alert them to this they were ever so obliging in changing their schedules to accommodate us and arranging personnel to complete the move on time. Everything went perfectly and with efficiency on the actual day due to a Good Team who were very organized.
We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

Thank You Pickersgill's you took a lot of hassle for us out of the day."

Removal from one house into storage and then removal from storage into another house.

"I had asked for three quotes from different companies and in the end two were given. To be honest I could have chosen the other quote given, but I could not tie in relevant storage facilities which I needed. If you need storage it makes sense to choose a company that provides both removals and storage.

The workers who cam to remove the furniture and place it into storage were excellent and very efficient which was very reassuring.

Although I haven't answered the questions on insurance and claims etc. These conversations happened almost eighteen months ago therefore I couldn't guarantee exactly what had been discussed, however the communication I had through Ciaran and Karen in the office gave me total reassurance that if there were any issues they would be dealt with.

The invoices were sent each month and when I did need to ask any questions all answered were forthcoming.
Once I had a date for removal from storage it was very easy to organise delivery to my new address.
The workers at that stage were just as efficient as the first team and the job was finished with no issues.

I would happily recommend George Pickersgill as a company and all the workers I dealt with were very professional, personable and efficient."
 
 
Team:
At the time I could have told you, sadly I can't remember now but as I said above all the workers I dealt with gave great service.

Customer Review
 
A straightforward house move.

"Everything went smoothly apart from the people moving out of the house I'd bought were late, which caused a delay. So I felt sorry for your guys for that. They were very gracious about it though.

Your movers were phenomenal from start to finish – very efficient, polite, and also had great senses of humour, which is always good especially on such a stressful day. They gave a lot of helpful advice, knew exactly what they were doing, and really did make the day actually quite enjoyable! Couldn't have been happier. Thank you very much."
 
 
Team:
So sorry – I can't remember. I know one of them used to be a hairdresser and drives a vintage car though!

Packing and into storage for a few months

"The gentlemen came well dressed and smart and punctual
They took excellent care of my possessions
They were respectful, polite, professional and helpful
On a monthly basis from then I had communication with Karen to pay the storage fees, she was helpful, friendly and professional
The amount paid over the months of storage was excellent value for money
On returning my possessions it was again done with respect, care and professionalism
I would HIGHLY recommend this company"

Unfortunately I can't remember, I'm truly sorry

Boxes delivered very promptly to aid our packing up in advance.

"On the day, the removers were on time, very efficient in loading furniture and boxes in the van and we were ready to leave by mid morning. Unfortunately our keys at the other end were not available until very late in the day, but the removers never showed any frustration or annoyance and unpacked us just as efficiently in a very quick time and made the bed up etc being polite and asking where everything was wanted. Very happy with the service."

Customer Review
 
This was a move for my elderly father from Lincoln to Yorkshire. It was a two day move and the logistics were not easy, mainly as my father has dementia so found it quite confusing.

"There is a reason I asked George Pickersgill to move my father from his old house into his new house -- I had been incredibly happy with the service they provided my family when we moved house around 5 years ago and have been recommending them ever since.

From my initial enquiry to Karen, my constant changes of dates and items of furniture to be moved, delivery of boxes, right until the day of the move and then the moving in day the whole team were professional, reassuring, caring, considerate and the communication was brilliant. The removals team were respectful and considerate of my father who has dementia and was quite confused on the day.

I continue to recommend George Pickersgill to anyone looking for a removals service."

Moving from a bungalow on the end of a 200 meter track not wide enough turning point for a large van. So had to use 2 smaller vans.

"Fantastic removal company. Our belonging were treated with care not one breakage. They had to use 2 smaller vans due to location. Everything was done on time. We signed the contract on the day we moved and even this did not phase them. I would recommend this company to anyone."

Moved from Bradford West Yorkshire to Derbyshire also included disposal of unwanted furniture items.

"Everything was perfect until we arrived at our new house. We had problems with the money transfer and were unable to gain access. They unloaded the garden furniture and plants and returned next morning after we had sorted money out at local bank. Couldn't thank them enough. Very good bunch of lads. Would recommend the company."

Pickersgill movers made what could have been a really stressful day amazing.

"The men could not have been more cheerful or obliging. I would recommend this company ever time. They could not have done more. Well deserved the recommendation that was given."
