Removal from Northumberland to Dordogne of all furniture, contents of extensive garage, workshop, garden equipment and personal belongings. Appleyards took care of all the paperwork apart from completing the inventory list. The survey mentions packing but we packed ourselves.

"Appleyards set our minds at rest right from the first visit for the quotation. We knew we were getting an experienced firm with staff who had been through the process of household removal to France many times before."

Move from a large 4 bedroom detached house to three individual addresses including the need for temporary storage for 2 addresses.

"David and his team were excellent. From the initial booking, which was very short notice to final property delivery. The team keep us up to date at all times.

All team members we’re curious and polite, nothing was too much trouble and they understood there task quickly and efficiently.


Regarding our final property delivery, this was very much in the centre of a city centre with parking restrictions. The team arrived at 6:30 on mass to ensure re the delivery could be completed before parting restrictions kick in. I cannot recommend David and his team highly enough."

Britannia Lanes of Devon referred me to Britannia Appleyards of South Yorkshire. The service and quote I requested from Appleyards was to collect a small consignment in storage in western France to my home in Yorkshire. David informed me precisely of the necessary paperwork to prepare as I was importing inherited furniture and personal goods. Once the file was complete, David gave me a date for collection then later an ETA for delivery to my address. Everything went extremely smoothly; the crew of two were friendly, professional and made themselves available while on the road in France providing information. The same crew delivery the consignment. Again, all went perfectly well. Thank you to the team.

"Having used Britannia Lanes of Devon on several occasions, I followed their recommendation blind-folded. Britannia Appleyards of South Yorkshire did not disappoint. From my first telephone contact to the delivery of my smallish consignment, each step was easy, bringing the right information and help when needed. Calls were returned, emails answered and relevant advice given. My consignment was duly collected from France and delivered to my address in Yorkshire with prior information regarding date and time provided.
For customers moving from the UK to the continent or vice versa, Appleyards are the right company with professional and friendly crew, and a very experienced handling of paperwork by David. All in all, a very smooth experience.
I will not hesitate to call upon their services again, and I do not hesitate to recommend Britannia Appleyards. My thanks to the team."

The move was clear, nice and smooth. The guys were punctual, friendly and efficient.

"The whole experience was great. David were very responsive throughout emails which is very reassuring especially for a first big move.

The two lads (Dan and Steve) who took care of my stuff were nice, friendly, effective and fast.

The price is very decent.

The paperwork are complete and easy to fill.

The move was pretty fast too.

Overall the experience were really good and I would 100% recommend this company."

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."

Customer Review
 
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."

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."
