We moved from Nottinghamshire to Norfolk in February 2025. We moved some 20 years ago to France and back and Appleyards did this removal also.

"We were pleased with their service then, so did not hesitate to use them again.

The service and care was excellent and the staff were cheerful, courteous and professional at every stage.

It is a stressful thing to move home at any time, especially this time as we are so much older, but everything went smoothly and we were reassured along the way by the team who showed so much care for us and our furniture, belongings etc.

We were confident that Appleyards would do a great job and they did."

Having inherited the 250+ year old family grandfather clock, I was obviously concerned regarding its packaging and its transportation. I didn’t need to worry as it was dismantled, wrapped and treated with the utmost care. Even the weights were marked to ensure it was set up correctly. The guys must have been to grandfather packing school!

"Firstly, my thanks to all the Team for ensuring that my move from South Yorkshire to South Gloucestershire went smoothly and with lots of laughs!

Having used Britannia Appleyards for a house move back in 2014 and been completely satisfied with every aspect of the move, they were the first choice to ask for a quote for my move in October 2024, which involved taking everything into storage for months and then transporting it all to the new house early in 2025. I didn’t seek any further quotes as I considered theirs to be fare and I knew that the service would be seamless. It was."
 
 
Team:
Sorry can’t remember, please as Appleyards. The guys were great!

As this was a move in early December Dave explained it would be a two day move because of daylight hours. He reassured me my belongings would be in the lorry overnight in the secure depot. He explained everything to me and was very thorough and professional.

"The whole team of removers were polite, courteous, helpful and cheerful.
My antique upright piano was no problem as was moving stone from garden and garden ornaments.
They wrapped antiques and every day use items with the utmost care.
I cannot thank them enough for their care and attention."

Absolutely fabulous service the team couldn’t do enough.

"My move went amazingly well stress free and quick. The team worked well together and took care of all my fragile boxes.
Nothing was too much trouble.They were cheerful and polite
No breaks…care was taken throughout.

Will recommend to anyone moving house. It wasn’t the cheapest quote but would not hesitate in booking again again if needed well worth the money.

A huge thank you and hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Moved c. 10 miles with a collection and storage 1 month prior.

"Had some stuff to put in storage prior to the move, which Britannia Appleyards arranged and stored for me. Everything on moving day went smooth as could be, the 3 x guys doing the removal were fantastic, never stopped working and the stored items also arrived the same afternoon, with another 3 x guys who all mucked in to get the job done. I couldn't be happier."

I had a great experience with Appleyard and Sons. It was the best decision I made to contract the company to do my moving. The process was easy, I had the time to complete the paperwork, I did not feel pressured to contract the service after my first contact and visit. The staff is lovely and helpful. They treat my things with respect, added covers onto the mattresses, staff were polite and helpful. It was stress free. I am very happy the service I received. PS, everything arrived in perfect condition.

"I had a great experience with the company, it was referred by a friend of mine. It was a wise decision to contract Appleyard for my moving to France. It was the only part of the process of moving to France which wasn’t stressful. It gave me a great pleasure.

David came promptly to my house as soon I contacted Appleyard and offered a fair price for the service. Communication was very good which updates, dates etc.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. They also treated my things with respect, nothing has been damaged.

I am really happy that I came to know Appleyard, I highly recommend and wish every success.

Thank you

"

I had to move from Yorkshire to northern Ireland and quite short notice and Britannia Appleyard were very helpful and quick to do my move very professionally. I was very happy with their service in all areas. Great company thankyou.

"Very good in all areas of my move from Appleyards coming to my house to see what needed to go, arranging the day for the removal and confirmation through emails. The removal guys did a great job very polite and helpful. Worked very hard but did the job alot quicker than I anticipated. The guys at northern Ireland were also very good, polite, very helpful. All in all I am very happy with all that was done so would like to say thankyou to all concerned."

Moving a 4 bedroom home to a 5 bedroom home in a rural area. The buyers solicitor was a nightmare and the completion date was missed 3 times. Britannia could not have been more accommodating. Andy in particular was a superstar. It was nice to have someone we had already connected with complete the removal. The majority of our home was taken and put into storage with the rest being collected 2 months later when we eventually completed.

"From Laura coming to our home to initially assess what our needs were, to the delivery in our new home - everyone we dealt with was amazing.
We had a particularly nightmarish process with our buyer's solicitor had missed completion 3 times over the course of 2 months.
On the original completion date, Andy came and collected everything bar the essentials to put into storage.
Laura was great when our second completion date failed and told us not to worry and keep in touch.
The third date that fell through - again Laura was great.
Finally we got our completion and Andy came out and collected the last of our belongings to move to the new house.
The buyer's solicitor held up the process by 5 hours, but Andy and his team came out the following morning after checking we had enough for the night.
Great team, polite, friendly and really took care of our property.
Britannia were one of the few companies in this whole process that treated us with humanity. Highly recommend."

I did not realise how many items there were to pack. The chaps in Spain did a fab job packing all the items very carefully - took us ages to cut off the bubble wrap, and the wrapping around all the glassware :-) We did advise the chaps that the bed in the master bedroom would not fit down the stairs and would have to be removed via our first floor terrace and dropped into the garden - this was done efficiently and it was not damaged in anyway. On arrival to the UK, the chaps unpacked as much as possible and also took up the challenge of getting the bed for the master bedroom up the stairs, which was very large and heavy - well done to all.

"The 3 chaps in Spain did a great job packing up our home. 2 additional chaps arrived on the last day to assist with the loading of all our furniture into the track. This was done with great care and attention.

On arrival at our new home in the UK, 2 chaps arrive who had packed up the house in Spain with additional chap to unload and unpack all the furniture again. This was done with great care. They even managed the challenge of getting our large bed base up the stairs and into our bedroom - no mean task as it was very heavy and large. We only had 2 items damaged - 1 broken gin glass(these are very delicate) so not a problem and a foot on the coffee table, which we were able to fix. Thank you so much to everyone to assisted with our move.

David Appleyard from the office in Rotherham was a great help with the paperwork and explaining the whole process of an overseas move back to the UK."

We moved from Beverley in East Yorkshire to Girona in Northern Spain.

"David and his team at Britannia Appleyards were extremely professional and experienced with our house move to Spain, the service was as described and took 12 days from initial loading of our possessions to delivery to Spain.


We would highly recommend Britannia Appleyards in the future."

Last minute notice move from a 3 bed detached house to a larger property in the same village.

"I had been recommended Britannia Appleyard through another company who were unable to provide a service for our date. I contacted Britannia Appleyard on the Friday after it being confirmed that day we would be moving on the Monday. Thankfully they have availability to move us and turned up just after 9am and by 11.30am our 3 bedroom detached home was all packed. Andy and the other two men were polite ans efficient, even helping and giving advice when we had issues with the washing machine!
Andy gave me his number to update him when we received our keys. Once we had received them at 3pm, we were unloaded by 5.30pm and everything was in the room we wanted it to be in. I dread to think what would have happened if they hadn't have been available. The price quoted was very reasonable and although I don't plan on moving again, I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to everyone! Thank you for making a stressful day a lot less stressful!"
