We had a 2-stage move from the North West to the South, in May / June this year (2024). Initially we moved our belongings into storage for several weeks, before completing the long distance move South. The move into storage was made difficult because our home was up a hill, with single track access. It took 2 days to complete. The move South was easier but involved a long journey.

"We cannot speak highly enough of Anchor Removals.

Not only was their quote competitive and good value, but their conduct throughout was outstanding.

Anchor Removals were professional throughout. They took great care to wrap and protect mattresses, settees and chairs, wooden furniture, and TVs. The staff were superb throughout and could not be faulted. They also undertook a thorough search when we had mislaid items, helping us to locate the missing items.

We were extremely impressed with the attention paid to wrapping and protecting our belongings, to safeguard them in both storage and transit. They showed much greater care than has been our experience with other removal firms.

Communication lines were excellent too, with prompt replies to phone calls and emails.

"Reese and the rest of the team were fantastic. Nothing was too small and they listened to every small thing we asked of them. They were punctual, hard-working and polite and quite simply we couldn’t have done the move without them. Thank you also to Andy and Scott who worked so hard to ensure the move went as well as possible. Thank you - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!! Tom & Soph"

It involved the careful removal of our large items from our home to our rented accommodation.

"The removal was performed in a timely and careful manner. I cannot think of how you can improve such a good service. I certainly will be recommending your company to my family and friends. We will be contacting you again whenever we are able to return to our permanent home."

From start to finish the move went beyond expectations.

" The lads were exceptional and made the move as easy as they possibly could. Nothing was too much trouble. All our belongings were packed with care from our old house and taken to our new house and unpacked with equal care.
I cannot thank them enough because they made the whole experience as stress free and as pleasant as they possibly could. Not one single item was damaged.

Exceptional there are no words to describe how helpful every single member of staff were."

Move from a Manchester city centre apartment to house in North Yorkshire

"Fantastic experience from the team at Britannia Anchor removals from start to finish.
This was the first time I'd needed the help of a removal company so did a bit of research and got a couple of quotes from local companies. Britannia stood out as being one of the most professional and has excellent reviews online.

Paul provided the initial inspection visit - was very helpful and provided lots of information to read after on the process.

The ladies on the phones/email (Jayne and Ellen) were both super helpful and friendly over the phone.

On the moving day (and the day before), the guys Aaron, Gregg and Andy arrived on time and loaded the van in a prompt, professional and courteous way with all of our furniture and boxes.
Extremely pleasant team and helped us get unloaded in our house in North Yorkshire in no time after we received the keys (late afternoon!).

They provided a large number of very sturdy boxes for us to load up our belongings (and at a good price).

Thank you to all the team - I would highly recommend Britannia Anchor Removals to anyone needing a removal company in the Manchester area."
 
 
Team:
Paul provided initial visit, then removal guys were Aaron, Gregg, and Andy. Special thanks for Gregg who was fantastic and I would highly recommend using. Special thanks for the ladies on the phones/emails - Ellen and Jayne were brilliant and helpful.

Two bedroom move to a property 1.5 hours away. Our driveway and road was very narrow. We also had a large American fridge freezer. We had large delicate plants.

"Perfect. The team that came to us Andy, Gavin and Greg were fantastic. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We had to have 2 smaller wagons because our road was very narrow and uneven. They packed everything with the utmost care and respect. They were so fast and organised our house was packed in the wagons in no time. At our new house they put every box in the rooms we wanted. There wasn’t a single mark or breakage of anything. Even my precious plants were delivered perfectly. We really can’t praise them enough. They made a very stressful day easier and smoother than we hoped for."

3 bed end terrace to 2 bed end terrace. Client self pack

"The process was very good from start to finish. We changed move dates a couple of times at short notice but the team reassured us that they would make sure the move happened as planned. We packed the house up ourselves and it only took the guys less than two hours to get everything out and less than 90mins to get everything into the new property. We remained in contact via phone whilst waiting for the keys which was really a great help."

I have had my items in storage for over 12months, everything from monthly invoicing to arranging the return of my goods was flawless…

"The day before I was informed of the time slot and in the day the lads arrived as scheduled.
The lads were fantastic, to covering all carpets and stairs when bringing in all my items, putting them exactly where asked…. All the time being extremely courteous and polite.
I will definitely be using and recommending this company again if I require storage or removals.
10/10 service provided"

My house move took place in one day from my old house in Blackrod to my new house in Horwich. There were a few large items, including an American fridge/freezer, two beds, a heavy kitchen table and a large L-shaped sofa. Some other items of furniture included two chests of drawers. Other than this, it was mostly boxes. A representative from the company came twice before the move to evaluate the volume and this was much appreciated as we had cut down a lot from the first visit. This greatly helped to reduce the cost of removal, as there was a suggestion originally that it might have to be done over two days.

"I did all the packing, most of it in the weeks prior to the move. The two removal men arrived at about 9 am to start loading. They introduced themselves and I showed them around so they knew what was going and what was staying. They took great care to protect the carpets, furnishings and mattresses etc. before they even started to move anything. I was very impressed with their overall professionalism and they were both friendly, helpful and polite. It was a downsize move so there it was a bit of a squeeze at the other end to get everything in, however the two men did a fantastic job. I had to leave them at the new property for a short while as I had to go back to the old house and I felt they were totally trustworthy. I was really pleased with how it went overall. Nothing was damaged or broken and I can highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of employing a professional removal company. I would certainly use them again, although I hope I don't have to, at least not in the near future!"

4 bed house to 4 bed house, distance of 40 miles

"Survey carried out and promptly quoted. It was last minute booking because of complications. Arrived Thursday afternoon for part pack and the 3 lads never stopped even for a brew. Returned the following day and packed the rest by lunch time. Unfortunately we were informed a hour later that exchange would not be going ahead till the following Tuesday, therefore our belongings were stored in the van till then. This cost us an additional amount larger than expected!
On the Tuesday 2 lads turned up on time and started to unpack the van. Yet again so polite and hard working and again never stopped for a brew. We did help them as much as we could because we had a lot of stuff I feel for 2 to unload"

"This company was actually recommended by a competitor down south as one of the best in the north: would definitely agree. Fantastic service from start to finish, really nice guys. Extremely careful and very efficient, packed up my flat and moved me in on the same day and no damage at all. Would highly recommend"

Our move took place over 3 days - the team were amazing! Really helpful, cheerful and took such care over all our items.

"We've just finished unpacking the last boxes, and I can report that not a single item has been damaged or broken.

Our move was delayed by my employers several times during recent months, and the office team at Brittania always took it in their stride and did their best to reassure us when we were at our most frustrated :)

We hope not to be moving for a few years now, but wouldnt hesitate to use Britannia again :)"

Local move from 4 bed semi to 4 bed detached. We used the packing service for convenience. We also used the service to take apart and reassemble a bed and a bunk bed.

"We had a very positive experience with Britannia. They were polite and efficient at every step, and helpful for all our needs.
The packing service was excellent and took a lot of stress out of the move and we would use this service again without hesitation (although we are not planning another move for a long time!).
The team on the 2 days of packing/moving were lovely guys who were respectful of the 2 properties. They were polite and friendly, and very helpful.

We would recommend this company to our friends and family. Thank you!"

My house move was in two parts, out of current home in Manchester with all contents in storage, then move contents to new home in Scotland. I wanted to remove as much stress as possible by not moving my furniture etc several times.

"Moving out of Manchester there were plenty of crew, who were polite, respectful and checked with me as things were carefully packed in crates and sealed. It was a relief and the team took everything in their stride. Months later the delivery of my stored contents happened in Scotland. The crew worked tirelessly and with care to place the contents in the required rooms and outside shed. Definitely worth the meticulous labelling of boxes so that everything ends up in the right place (my tip).
I’d highly recommend Britannia as they were professional, obliging, nothing was too much trouble and my move went exactly to plan.I’d looked at other companies for the move but the representative from Britannia seemed to genuinely care and had solutions for all my initial concerns."

Apologies with everything going on I failed to recall their names.

The move was from a semi detached on a busy residential street to a new build which was not signposted and was narrow for the truck to get into

"The team managed it expertly and the service was outstanding.

Would highly recommend the packing service if within budget - it saved us so much stress!

The whole service from start to finish was amazing. Jayne at the office was great and dealt with our reservation, the initial inspector for the quote was clear and precise with information and the moving team was absolutely superb.

Everything was packed safely and there wasn't a single scratch on any item, nothing even looking like it had been moved once unpacked.

A superb service and they even moved the quote to allow it to fit in our budget."
 
 
Team:
Jayne, Lindsay in the office and I think it was Jason who managed the move

Move from Rochdale to Northumberland - 3-bedroom property

"Anchor were incredibly accommodating, managing to book in our cross-country move at very short notice due to delays in conveyancing. The office team were very helpful and lovely to deal with, keeping us informed all the way along. The moving teams on both days worked incredibly hard, were careful with all item and kept really positive despite a few challenges and long days. To top it all off their quote was very competitive and we liked the company ethos, particularly being a real living wage employer. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anchor."
