Fantastic straightforward and hassle free move from Devon to London. The guys that moved me were polite, professional and efficient. They packed all my belongings well and it was all very smooth. Even no problem when the initial van couldn’t fit down my road!
Thank you for making what is a stressful time that much easier.
First time we have moved and been told this is meant to be the most stressful time of your life. Leighton and Matt couldn’t have been more helpful and make us feel more relaxed and were excellent throughout the day. Would recommend
We used Britannia Lanes to move our mother from the family home of 45 years to a retirement village, quite a downsize.
Billy & Josh, employees of Britannia were both exceptional, helpful in every way and very understanding of the situation.
Can’t thank Callum and Desperate Dan enough both were kind and polite through the two day move nothing was to much trouble for them,the move went so smoothly and I was right to choose Britannia Lanes fir the long move from Torquay ti Oswestry
Also the fact that they give blue light discount makes so much better on the pocket
Thank you Dan and Callum

What a wonderful company! They were very flexible and very helpful. The two removal men who came to help us (Leighton and Jack) were absolutely fantastic, they were punctual, willing to help and nothing was too much trouble. All the stress was taken away from moving, and we would definitely contact Britannia if we ever need them again.
Fantastic service, the movers were really professional and everything arrive in one peice. This is the third time my family has used this company. I think that says it all.
Service was so great the first time around we used Britannia to move our last stuff over to France. Big shout out to Hayden and Tony for another sterling job! Thanks guys and to all at Britannia. A bientot.
A professional and extremely efficient team who knew their job and got on with it whilst at the same time were courteous, approachable and respectful of our belongings, large or small. I have no hesitation in recommending Britannia Lanes to anyone and would certainly use them again. From the first phone call and subsequent visit for a quotation to the last item being safely delivered this company outshone any that I have previously used and at a very competitive price. Thank you Britannia Lanes, you made a potentialy stressful move painless and it was much appreciated.
Britannia Lanes Exeter have been fantastic from day one! Not having used self-storage before I had plenty of questions. The onsite staff gave me a tour of the premises and were happy to help with all my queries. The customer care here is excellent (and highly friendly + welcoming, it's a joy to visit my unit and say 'hello' to Robert Parr and the team). The cost of storage here was good compared to other local facilities and I am happy with the facility - the lifts are always working, plenty of trollies to move my things, always been able to park, clean and tidy plus my unit was cleaned before I arrived, good toilets on site + amazing views of the city from 2nd floor upwards :) Honestly, I can't find fault! I was recommended Britannia Lanes Exeter via a colleague and I have now recommended to a friend who has a unit and is equally happy :D
We used Britannia Lanes for our recent house move. The whole process was easy and smooth - from the initial video call to get a quote to the move. We then had a call from our solicitors to say we could move earlier than we thought and they were still able to accommodate us.
On move day Tony and Leighton were both helpful and friendly, arrived on time and I was amazed how quickly they loaded our house onto their van.
They waited whilst we got our new keys and also unpacked the van carefully especially with some of our awkward furniture and small doors!
We were really pleased with their service and would definitely use them again should we need to
Very helpful and polite. Everything was packed up for us the day before we moved out. We left Adrian and Tony to finish loading and close the house up as we had a long journey to our new home. The next day when they arrived to unload the boxes were put into the relevant rooms and furniture placed where we wanted it to go.
Unpacking was easy and no breakages (we had enough paper to start an art lesson) We could not have wished for a more stress free move thanks to Adrian and tony.
The guys at Britannia Lanes were professional, friendly and courteous throughout the whole moving day. Great job!
We had used Britannia Lanes before and have found them to be very efficient.
The Removal Men were fantastic, helpful and very understanding of an old Lady who found the experience a bit daunting.
This is the 4th time we have used Britannia Lanes for removals and storing our home. Nothing is too much trouble, from the administrative side to the removals. Friendly helpful staff who are professional and courteous. Thank you Britannia Lanes for getting things so right. We wish you every continued success.
Storage space is adequate for my requirements and costs are reasonable. Entrance, stairs, lift and corridors always clean and well maintained. Security is good. On rare occasions when I have needed to talk to staff, they have been both helpful, polite and considerate.
Excellent storage facilities. Clean, well-lit, secure access 24/7. Very friendly and helpful staff. What more could you ask for?
Recently, we hired a Luton van from Britannia and from start to finish the whole process was great, coupled with really great customer service.
Prior to picking the van up I received an e-mail informing me of the information they required to hire the vehicle, and I was able to e-mail said information across the day before which made the process of collecting the vehicle both easier and quicker. Very impressed with the whole service.
The company were very helpful in changing our booking to a week later when this was needed. The removal men were friendly, polite, and did a professional job. All our possessions were well looked after. We would certainly use this firm again and recommend it to people.
