Packing service in old home, and move to new home

"From beginning to end, an excellent service.
Appraisal, options, advice and quote were all professionally presented and reasonably priced.
Advise, and flexibility with shifting removal dates and potential storage solutions were all swiftly and confidently provided.
Packing and removals were provided by a great team of three guys, each very friendly, courteous and helpful.
What could have been a very stressful event was a pleasant and friendly episode.
Thank you"

Move from a 5 bedroom 3 storey house to a 3 bedroom bungalow.

"Howe's were very helpful in planning the move and flexible when dates had to change. We packed most of our belongings in the boxes they provided and they were happy to provide us with as many boxes as we needed. We had a number of items that did not fit in boxes and were delighted with the care from the removers (especially Don) that went into packing those items for us so that they transferred to our new place safely.
They managed to load up our belongings quickly and efficiently so that we were able to vacate our old house before the new buyers arrived. As we had decided to move over a 2 day period they kept in touch about timing for delivery to the new place and arrived when they said they would.
The team worked extremely hard to get our furniture and boxes into the new place and did an excellent job of getting awkward pieces of furniture up a narrow staircase - working realy well as a team.
Overall we were delighted with Howes and would highly recommend them to anyone moving house - the contact with the office was friendly and very helpful and the all the guys involved in our removal were amazing!"
 
 
Team:
As we can't remember all the names we just wanted to say thanks to all th eteam involved over the two days.

House move from just outside Dundee to Hertford in Hertfordshire.

"Team were extremely helpful right from the start when they came to cost the move, and took care to note specific items which needed careful packing. New address is on narrow street and they were helpful in discussing best transport to use. On day of move the team were very efficient, professional and friendly. When they reached my new address they were happy to see that they could get parked right outside and the unpacking went smoothly even with a narrow staircase!!

Good service overall

"Good initial survey, got the correct number of boxes.
Arrived later than expected although called to let me know.
Only 2 men on the job which really wasn't enough. You could see by the time they loaded up the van they were spent and it took them a long time to then unload again.

I think they were so tired that they just started putting stuff anywhere there was a space. I felt sorry for them, it was a long day, they didn't get finished up until 6.30pm.
Considering it was just 2 of them they did a fantastic job but the company should recognise that this is too much for 2 people. They needed breaks and quite rightly had a break when thru got to the 2nd property. But I had people to help me unpack and was waiting around for them to get started which was totally not therir fault."

We moved from an old farmhouse with a long sloping drive, to a suburban area

"We had a few quotes, but our final moving date was undecided because of issues in the sale, so when we finally got a date Howe's were very helpful managing to slot us in.
Our removal guy's were very helpful and understanding and managed to get everything loaded the day before completion, with room to spare. And arrived promptly as I went to collect our keys.
This being our first time using a removal company I wasn't sure what to expect, but all was explained clearly and everything went very smoothly."

The move was from a rural remote property 300meters up a potholed track to an urban environment.

"J and J Howe Removals were the only aspect of the move I can truly say I was happy with. Dealing with Trainee Para legals and Estate Agents proved to a rather depressing part of the process and this contrasted with the helpfulness, politeness and good humour with which the boys tackled the removal. They were good with the children and dogs as well and were so efficient that they were literally removing boxes as we were packing them. I got a cheaper quote from a national removal company but on balance decided to pay a bit more for the local company to take on the job, With only a broken flower pot later. I am glad that I took that option. This is a professional outfit which I would recommend without hesitation."

Excellent service from beginning to end. Moved from one end of the country to the other and needed storage whilst securing a new property, Mike and the team dealt with everything in a very proactive manner. Costs were very competitive and invoices clearly set out individual costs, removal, storage, insurance and redelivery. No breakages and the team were are a credit to the company!

"We were struggling to find a company as our sale completed just after the New Year. Quotes were all around £10,000.00.

I spoke with Mike and he immediately sounded reassuring and requested information to ascertain whether they would be able to help. A couple days later it was booked and this took all the stress out of a very busy period.

The men who collected worked so quickly and efficiently, as did the men who eventually delivered.

Storage was invoiced monthly and the total cost even with 3 months storage was still cheaper than other quotes.

A faultless operation and would highly recommend."

Moving a 2 bed flat 8 miles away into a 2 bed house. Dismantling the puzzle of an IKEA Kura mid-sleeper bed without an instruction manual and then reassembling it at the other end took up some time but was massively appreciated.

"It was reassuring when the owner of the business came to provide the quote themself and was able to provide assurance over what would need boxed vs things that could be moved in situ. My need (due to disability) to communicate in writing vs phone calls was noted and accommodated without any problems. I was able to communicate easily in the run up to the move, my anxieties were resolved without ever being made to feel silly.
On the day, the removal team took great care of myself and my child, put us at ease and explained everything. When I needed items unloaded in a timeframe, they did so happily and without any indication it was inconvenient for them.
It was a longer day than I had expected but I was happy that the team were doing their absolute best at all times and the service was personalised rather than impersonal business.
I also really appreciated the fact the boxes/packing materials were dropped off for me as part of the package and the empty boxes were then removed afterwards instead of my having to rehome or recycle them myself. I would absolutely recommend Howes to anyone."

This was a very traumatic move for us as the original move fell down and we had to find another house Again as seems the norm nowadays Completion date was uncertain and Howes obliged at every stage with a variety of quotes to go into a rental with and without storage The final move did take place directly from one house to the other.Five bedrooms to four about 12 miles apart over a period of 3 days allowing us time to clean up and settle in on removal day without continuing long in to the evening.We are of an age where it could have been overwhelming.

"Everyone was really upbeat and supportive from the viewing for the first quote ,to office staff when we had to make changes.Nothing seemed to much bother.
The removal men were terrific cheerful and really obliging moving stuff if we weren't happy.Not getting cross while we waited for keys etc.Can’t praise them enough. They were so pleasant to have around.we knew several previous clients and we would highly recommend Howes

Everyone was great.We had 3 quotations but Mr McNaughton was the most reassuring and we felt secure to go ahead with Howes quote
Paul and Kev were great removal people as was someone else on a previous day..
We would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
The companies flexibility was terrific

Moved around 3200 cu m of household items from Tibbermore to Stanley. Included heavy furniture and a piano. JJ Howe carefully packed all items and filled two large vans and a luton van. As well as moving our stuff, they also disassembled and reassembled all our beds.

"All staff involved were professional and friendly, and worked extremely hard over the fives days of the packing and the move. We would definitely recommend the company to anybody planning a move."

We packed our three bedroom household goods (and plants!) into 2 and a bit container units that Howie''s collected from after we moved to temporary housing in the Hebrides.

"The delivery was made exactly when they said they would and the guys unloading couldn't have been more helpful.

For us this was a massive life event but Howie's were very helpful and accommodating, good communication throughout and a safe delivery to the Outer Hebrides!"

Matt and Mark (in the office) and Gregor and Keith(?) did the actual delivery

Move house from St Andrews to Ellon

"just to pass on our thanks to everyone involved in organising our removal yesterday from Matt who came to assess the job, the guy who dropped off the boxes, leaving them so neatly stacked at the door & of course the team (I think it was Ross & Sean) who did the removal.

The guys who did the removal were exceptionally polite, cheerful and worked like trojans.

Well done all & once again thank you.

You are all doing a great job.

Thanks to all involved. Mike efficient admin, Matt who did the initial assessment, Sean & Ross who worked really hard and the guy we never met who left the packing boxes stacked so neatly at our door.

Move within local area from 4 bed semi to larger detached house.

"Very happy with J and J Howe. Assessor who visited was a lovely chap and explained the service very clearly. We got a few quotes and J and J was a hair cheaper but mainly went with them because of the good vibe we got. On the day, Scott and his team of 4 were simply fantastic and completely took the stress out the move. Absolutely no damage. Highly recommended!"

For the first time in 34 years we moved home on 26 January 2022. As we are buying a new build with an entry date of early June, we moved our furniture and belongings to our daughter''s home in the meantime, mostly to the double garage but some into her family home.

"This was a very efficient and professional business from start to finish. From obtaining a quote to the move itself, everyone in the company was polite, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Our original move date was changed twice and accommodated both times without fuss by J&J Howe. Packing materials were delivered well in advance of the move date, with additional supplies available on request. On the day itself, Martin and Dougie were friendly, helpful and remained calm throughout, with nothing seeming too much trouble. We will certainly be using J&J Howe again to move into our new home in June and would recommend the company without hesitation. Thank you for making our move as stress free as possible."

Entire house move, including planters and garden equipment. We packed our own contents.

"We were very impressed by the helpful staff in the office. We were given boxes, paper and tape as and when we we needed.
Everything about the move and service was explained and any questions were answered to our satisfaction.
The lads filled the van one day and delivered to our new property the following day.
They were both helpful, polite, and with good humour, made the whole move as easy as possible.
I will have no hesitation in recommending this company to others.
