Customer Review
 
I was moving from a church house to another church house . Whilst I did not have lots of stuff , I was anxious to get things done smoothly. The timings were perfect and the company did everything to try and accommodate the date I needed which I appreciated as I had to change couple of times. They were always helpful on the phone and kept me updated of timings and arrivals . I was moving from one city to another and a fair distance for me.

"From start to finish this is one of the best moves I have made and I have moved , 4 times in 10 years.
The staff, were so polite and helpful and I really felt they empathised with my situation and moving stuff from one place to another. I really felt I mattered , rather than just being another job to get done.
Everything was wrapped carefully and when we got to the house , they even hung up my clothes and put as much away as they could . Things were put in the right rooms.
Most of all it was there attitude that really helped to make it a good experience. They went out of their way to be helpful and listened to any requests that I made .
At the new house they moved very respectfully around the property and as I had some people already there , they were very mindful of that .
There was no hanging around and I was able to complete the move with some time left in the day to get stuff away.
A really great experience and a fantastic team .Thank you ."

Moving from the country to the city, from a large house to a smaller house and doing the move as a single person

"I was very apprehensive about the move, but Broughton Removals made it completely seamless from start to finish. From the moment I contacted them, I felt as if I was in good hands! Jo in the office was extremely supportive and nothing was too much bother for her. When Andrew came out to look at the property, he was very knowledgeable and respectful.

The move was carried out over three days and I can honestly say that it was not in the least bit stressful for me in any way. I felt in safe hands at all times. The three removal men (Grant, Scott and Ginger) were absolutely charming. They were polite and mannerly and also were very respectful towards me and the houses. They accommodated any request I made and were an absolute pleasure to have in the house.
What could have been a very stressful few days for me, turned out to be very enjoyable.

I would like to thank Jo, Andrew, Grant, Ginger and Scott very much indeed."

Home Move Art Studio Move Office Move

"Absolutely brilliant service from Broughton - especially given we had a tricky move! Not just one house, but an art studio, and a office to move.

I had heard and been told all my life 'moving is the most stressful thing you will ever do'. So I went into the move a little anxious, given everything else that is going in the background - mortgage applications, solicitors and all the rest!

When Broughton come in, they totally take the reins on all things moving & logistics (so so helpful). From our initial home visit estimation - I felt immediately reassured that I could put the move to one side in my mind as we were in the hands of such a professional team.

On moving day, the lads showed up and worked so fast and carefully, dismantling furniture, logistically packing the van with the other house in mind, covering expensive furniture with covers and even finding last min space for my bike in an already full van.

To sum our moving morning up, I had the time and headspace to leisurely make bacon butty's and and tea for the lads. The absolute last thing I thought I would be doing, when I had ever imagined moving - but thats the Broughton Affect (even with all our 3 moves in one morning)


In conclusion - after my move with Broughton. I don't think moving is stressful, but I bet moving without Broughton is stressful!"

We moved from a 4 bedroom house with double garage (so quite a lot of stuff). All our belongings had to stay in storage with the remover for 10 days until the house we were moving to was available.

"Broughton Removals provided a first class service from beginning to end when we moved house. From initial inquiry to final delivery, the whole team are professional, efficient and super helpful. The price was good value (compared to other quotes) but the stand out is really the level of service they provide. They are the John Lewis of removal firms! We are moving again next year and will definitely be using Broughton Removals again, without question."

This is for our household removal into storage.

"Our experience with Broughton Removals was delightful. The staff we met through our initial contact and an evaluation visit were very helpful. We were so pleased to find someone who have good and wide understanding of house move to handle our case.

On the day of the removal, we had three hard working crew members. They are highly-skilled and highly trained. A good company to work with at the stressful time."

Move of house involving pick up for short term storage and then delivery to our new address.

"I was aware of Broughton as a local Edinburgh firm and that they had a good reputation and this proved to be the case. Everything about our move went very smoothly and I was very impressed by the service and the people we dealt with.

All aspects of the service from start to finish; from estimating, dealing with the office, box delivery and our move to storage through to delivery were first class.

Chris and his delivery team were a pleasure to have around and couldn’t do enough for us - they were great.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Broughton as a great choice."

We had the emotional challenge of downsizing after 40 years from a sizeable Arts and Crafts house with garden to a modern second floor flat.

" Broughton were brilliant from start to finish: we had expert advice in the estimate about what would be required for packing, moving and storing possessions; friendly but highly professional management of the whole operation from Jo in the office; highly competent, careful and kindly service in both packing and uplifting our possessions with cheerful people who worked hard and were always ready to 'go the extra mile' to help. We had the same team delivery a proportion of our 'stuff' to the new flat - the rest being held very economically in store till we are organised. Meantime Broughton have a great pick up system for recycling boxes once they are emptied. Very reasonable rates for first class operation.Highly recommend"

Broughtons moved us from a top floor tenement flat in Edinburgh to a house south of Edinburgh. They did the packing on the Monday and rhe move itself on the Wednesday. They were brilliant, careful, professional and cheerful at all times.

"5 Star service!
Never even THINK of using anyone else!
From the moment Andrew arrived bang on time to assess what we needed, to when the "FAB4" drove away having delivered us and our stuff, from start to finish we were in the hands of kind, caring professionals.
Jo, Director of Broughtons, also went above and beyond when things got a bit tricky with timings on the actual moving day (thanks Jo - our new door is ALWAYS open to you!).
Honestly, never trust such an important part of your lives to anyone else. There's a reason Broughtons are still going strong since 1970.
We originally got 3 quotes, with one being cheaper than Broughtons, and another one having T&Cs that were risky (always read the small print). It was worth getting 3 quotes, but from the start, Broughtons stood out as the best, from the assessor arriving, the detail of the quote, the fact that we could email or phone with any follow-up questions etc. PLUS whenever we mentioned we had booked Broughtons to pals, everyone said "Oh yes, we used them and they were great".
We were so grateful that we did use you guys, as you looked after us from start to finish (plus your environmental policy), so our only feedback is 100% positive.
Amazing customer service and attention to detail, brilliant and cheery guys with faultless back-office support and help.
We honestly cannot praise them highly enough.
Go Team Broughtons.
We love you guys!!!
Thanks for everything.
Sarah & Jim xxxx"

We moved from a Victorian house into a modern flat which is not very much smaller than our house and has good storage space, but it is smaller. Despite having got rid of masses of stuff, we still had too much!

"There was a four-month delay between moving out of our last home and moving onto the new one, and Broughton removals kept our belongings in storage during that time. The whole experience was as positive as it could be in such stressful circumstances.

Broughton Removals made the whole process as easy as possible. The staff were unfailingly helpful, polite and cheerful and inspired confidence in their professionalism. We took up their suggestion that that the move into the new place was done over two days, and we felt it was the right decision. The boss even brought us all hot pies on the day we moved out!"

Chris was the foreman of a very good team.

I wasn''t moving house, but needed to put most of ground floor into storage for three weeks to allow new flooring to be installed and have the rooms redecorated.

"It's possible some of the places where I put "no" were covered in paperwork I never got round to reading. The service was prompt and efficient and there was regular communication from the company to check we were still on track for planned return date, let me know when the team were on their way etc. The owner is a fund of knowledge and chat. Extra boxes brought on the day no problem.The whole project went very smoothly and I am delighted with my revamped and restored home."

Our move was a massive downsize from a large Victorian property to a modern flat. We were only moving a few pieces of furniture, but had a very large volume of personal possessions including china and glasses, ornaments and art work and an extensive collection of cds- much of which is now stored in our new garage.

"A packer arrived sharp on the day before the move, and proceeded carefully to wrap and box our possessions. In the afternoon, she was joined by others to help, and in particular to ensure that the collection of cds remained in order! The following day saw all hands on deck, as the men moved everything to the van, and then after the short trip, they unloaded with guidance to the correct locations within the new property.

We were impressed throughout by the expertise, helpfulness and friendliness of the staff throughout. They made a stressful event almost pleasant.

We were very satisfied from beginning to end.
When I requested they come to collect empty boxes - they sent two men to help move a couple of items of furniture we had decided to relocate, and made no extra charge!"

This was a complex move which was carried out with great skill and even enjoyment. We went from Edinburgh into store or to relations in Oxford, the load being split. We were confirmed in the view that it is worth paying for a high quality service.

"Senior manager had time to discuss the changes we had to ask for - regarding dates and destinations.The head porter came a few days in advance to review the job. We were encouraged to be part of the job, rather than being asked to step clear while the professionals got on with it. Nothing went wrong but we were encouraged to feel that if it had, it would have been dealt with."

Moving from a two floor Georgian period property to a three floor modern house. The move included a grand piano and two substantial bookcases.

"I found the Broughton Removals team very helpful and easy to deal with. They accommodated the couple of timing changes that arose without difficulty and were very punctual with their time-keeping. The move itself was inevitably quite stressful but the team involved were friendly and efficient. They coped well with the considerable demands of getting my large grand piano down one flight of stairs and up another.

There was only one breakage which was purely accidental and not the team’s fault, and they immediately offered to take the item off for repair.

All in all I consider the removal good value and would certainly recommend Broughton to others."

June and I were moving from a 4 bed house to a 3 bed apartment on the top floor of a converted building in central Edinburgh

"Sonny and Jo, provided us with a comprehensive old fashioned caring careful service both were brilliant with us, nothing was any trouble,

Jo kept us informed of the next steps throughout.

Free boxes tape and paper were provided and delivered to us well in advance to enable us to pack at our leisure.

The removal team on moving day arrived when they said they would, were very friendly, cheery, wrapped fragile furniture and pictures and loaded our possessions quickly and carefully. On arriving at our new apartment on the third floor, and despite the rain worked well as a team and asked on each occasion which room our furniture and boxes were to be put into. This gave us a great head start in organising each room.
Our heavy lounge couches & very expensive sideboard had to be carried up 6 flights of steps as they were too big to go in the lift. The guys were brilliant and so so careful / expended more than a little perspiration and all without the hint of a grumble. Fantastic service in tis day and age.

June and I could not recommend Broughton highly enough, and would this company again without hesitation.

Very well done team."

A move of over 80 miles including the clearing out of a lock up and a very busy flat. Huge amounts of books, artwork, sculptures and furniture.

"Broughton Removals provided us with a superb service from start to finish. From the initial visit and quote, to the interaction with the office staff and then the removals team themselves, we were treated with genuine friendliness, professionalism and a very helpful attitude. It was a big move of 80 miles, from a vastly overcrowded flat. Endless boxes were carried with great care. Hundreds of framed pictures and objets d’art were handled as if they were their own. It was everything you’d really hope for from a removals company - and more. The monies involved were more than reasonable and the whole experience was as happy as any move could be. It’s a stressful experience no matter what, but Broughton Removals made an excellent shoulder to lean on. 100% recommended."

Everyone involved was superb - and I do mean that.

I moved out of a two bed flat and needed my belongings kept in storage for more than a year. I have a lot of China and glass of great sentimental value.

"I would highly recommend Broughton Removals. Extremely professional and excellent service. All my items were packed, stored and transported with great care.

The initial quotation and estimate was conducted with great accuracy. I also needed to move at short notice and they went out of their way to accommodate me.

On both moving days, particularly moving into my new home the moving staff on the day could not have been nicer. I am a single woman and they went out of their way to make sure that items were placed conveniently and to make sure that it would be “livable” without me having to move heavy items.

It was difficult to get my sofa in due to access restrictions and they applied creativity and care until the found a solution. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt very at ease in their company. There may be cheaper companies but they provide excellent value for money.

If I ever move again I will be using Broughton."

Short in distance but still a challenge with little furniture to be moved so guys had to get creative with the magnet off the load

"We would have no hesitation in recommending Broughton as their choice of removal form the whole team were fantastic. Nothing was an issue and the works were carried out on schedule and with a smile of the faces of the team."
