Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Code of practice: 92%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the Code of Practice?
 
Description: 100%
Before the move, did your remover give you a clear description, price and timetable for the work to be carried out?
 
Loss or damage: 94%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to a). Liability for loss or damage?
 
Claims timing: 74%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to b). Time limits for making claims?
 
Cancellation: 87%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to c). Cancellation / postponement rights and charges?
 
Protection options: 96%
Before the move, did your remover explain your insurance or other protection options?
 
Claims procedure: 73%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the procedure for making claims and to whom complaints should be referred?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

House move including large garden tools and furniture. 7 hour packing service.

"We moved from Bristol to Gloucestershire using R&J removals including their 7 hour packing service - they took all of the stress out of moving and we can not recommend them highly enough. Packing was done really well (with paper or bubble wrap) and boxes labelled with a brief description of what was inside - this made unpacking really easy.
Prior to using them, Dave visited our home to provide a quote - this was clearly explained as well as being very thorough. There were also options of different services to best suit our needs.
They were also not beaten on price. The removal team were friendly, fast and efficient while ensuring our furniture and belongings were moved and transported safely. We did encounter one small breakage during transit however the insurance covers this and has been dealt with great customer service.

A big thank you to the R&J team!"

We boxed and prepared our items for removal. R and J Removals loaded and unloaded as part of the service. We moved 2/3 miles from 4 bed property to a larger property.
 
Cost: £780
 

"Excellent removals from start to finish. We were unable to confirm a firm moving date with R and J removals, due to difficulties in our chain. We finally exchanged contracts with competition the following day. We were very concerned that R and J removals wouldn’t be able to do this in such short notice. However; they had the foresight to pencil us in and were able to provide us with removals. They chaps that arrived on the morning were very cheerful and efficient. They worked swiftly to pack up the trucks and took care with all of our items.

Once the keys were ready in the afternoon the original two guys were accompanied by several others, as their previous job was completed. With such a large team unloading our items, it felt that we were settled in no time at all.

I would recommend R and J Removals to anyone who is looking for swift, efficient, well priced and friendly removals services."

Straightforward move within Bristol.
 
Cost: £1000
 

"Friendly and efficient company. They came the day before the date of the move to do the bulk of the packing which was done quickly. Turned up on time on move day and nothing was too much trouble. No breakages or any other problems, I would have no hesitation in recommending to others."

Cost: £1122
 

"Our move with R & J Removals Ltd was prompt, well organised and expertly conducted by the removal team of 3. The team were on time at the pick up address, picked up everything and loaded our property in such a way that the off load at the delivery address was also prompt and well organised. The removal team arrived at the delivery address earlier than expected, were efficient and careful with our property during the offload, placing items where we required them, carrying out this action without any concerns and were professional throughout. We would certainly use them again in the future and recommend them and the removal company to others. The best moving experience we have ever experienced, they removed all of the stress that we thought it would entail. Thank you."
 
 
Team:
The team of 3 were all brilliant

Customer Review
 
Moved from house to house within local area
 
Cost: £700
 

"RJ Removals turned up early, worked hard and fast to get my house packed up and were happy and friendly whilst doing it. The team of lads got on very well and it helped to reduce our moving day stress!

Items were carefully wrapped and skilfully manoeuvred through tight corners and stairwells. Putting down protected carpet covers was a nice touch.

Boxes were all moved into the right rooms at the new house and the guys didn’t leave until we were happy that our things were correctly placed; even making sure that heavier items were moved and rotated within rooms to help us with our unpacking.

Very happy. Great service. Would recommend to our friends."

We had two properties that required emptying and moving into one new one.

"Good communication and organisation from Dave and Paul. Great team who worked tirelessly until everything was out of both houses and into our new property. Used R&J to pack for me aswell. Highly recommended."
 
 
Team:
Can't remember all of their names now, but all were excellent and we would like to thank them very much.

I was moving 10mins away to a smaller property.

"The guys were amazing, packed up my house swiftly and kept in touch whilst we were waiting for keys. Didn’t anticipate an uncleaned house the other end and they were extremely patient while we tried to clean and they removed items that were left at the property, it was a very stressful and upsetting time but they were so lovely and helped as much as they could. After this I’m not sure I’ll move again but if I did I would definitely use R & J ."

Packing, move out of property, hold possessions overnight, move into new property the following day.

"Would happily recommend R&J Removals. They did a great job of our move and were friendly and helpful. We had assistance packing the day before which was well worth it. Unlike previous moves we've done over the years with various companies, there were no damages to any of our possessions. Although there was a problem with being a team member down unexpectedly on the day of our move they worked hard to find a replacement and get everything moved out on time."

Simple move from 2 bed to 3 bed house. Shed and garden plants also moved.
 
Cost: £600
 

"Sergei and Matt were two very friendly guys that you could have a conversation and laugh with. They were professional, quick and took great care of our items. They arrived and set out how the move would work, answered questions and worked around us while we still packed last minute items. We felt very at ease with them both and had great faith in them. Although I never want to move again, if I did, I would come back to R&J. I am certainly recommending to friends."

Firstly I must mention how difficult planning my move was due to the bottom of my chain repeatedly delaying our completion date and how accommodating R&J were in fitting us in with very little notice. We requested a 2 part move: 50% into storage and the remainder several days later.

"R&J have now moved my family 3 times and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The guys were very friendly, polite and accommodating. They worked like Trojans non-stop both days. Nothing was too much trouble even when we had to take an item apart to get them out of the door. They covered, protected and labelled everything very carefully."

We moved from a semi furnished three bed house in Cotham to a four bed house in St Andrews Sergei and Danny packed us up then moved us in two trips using a small van.
 
Cost: £880
 

"I was impressed with the service provided by R and J removals from the visit to provide a quotation, to booking, packing and the move itself. Danny and Sergei were efficient and friendly packers and movers. It's a stressful time, especially if like us you are moving with a four week old and 2 year old, but with Danny and Sergei they eased the way and we even managed a few laughs. With all the cardboard involved I also really appreciated the ability to return the boxes from our move to be reused."
