Great moving crew

Conell and Tony arrived ahead of schedule and completed the move (from Berkshire to Northumberland) with great efficiency and care including the transportation of a number of large and delicate houseplants.

Fantastic service from start to finish

From start to finish, Leatherbarrows have been brilliant. I originally contacted them two weeks before my move, having been let down by two other removal companies due to their no booking prior to exchanging policy. David was incredibly helpful on the phone. Not only did he assure me that there was still availability, but he arranged to come round the next day to provide a quote a confirm the order. He also helped answer any questions I had later via email. This company seems to be one of the very few that allow you to book prior to exchanging, so very good to know about in the future.

On moving day, Tony and Conell were fantastic. This is the first time I’ve had to move on my own and, after only 2 hours sleep, I was feeling quite nervous before they arrived. With their calm and capable attitude paired with a great sense of humour, Tony and Conell made me feel at ease straight away. They were super conscientious about where they parked, even checking with my neighbour that she could move her car if she needed to. They also kept me updated with their progress with the removal throughout the morning.

At the new house, they used a lot of skill and patience to get my piano through a very tight hall and doorway. They were very efficient and even helped me read the meter readings. They were also great with my son who arrived from school looking a bit shell-shocked!

Overall, I would not hesitate to use Leatherbarrows again and would definitely recommend them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that your experience with Leatherbarrows was smooth and supportive throughout.

David will be very pleased to know his help in arranging the booking and answering your questions made things easier during a busy time. We’re glad our flexible approach was useful after the difficulties you had with other companies.

Tony and Conell will also be thrilled with your feedback. It’s wonderful to hear that their calm, friendly manner helped put you and your son at ease and that they took such care with the packing, the move itself, and even getting your piano safely into your new home.

Thank you again for your kind recommendation and for choosing us for your move. We’d be more than happy to help again in the future.

AMAZING

Nothing is too much to ask. We did a huge move from South of England to North Scotland and these guys were amazing. They took all of the stress out of it and could not have been anymore accommodating. Tony and Conell are an absolute credit to this company.

Excellent International Service

We were very pleased and impressed with the level of service we received from Brittania Leatherbarrows, when we packed up our home in Spain and moved to Suffolk in the UK. They were responsible for collecting our goods in Spain and delivering it all to Suffolk, and everything went exceedingly well. Steven and Chris were the 2 professionals who handled our move here in the UK and they were very efficient, careful, hardworking and trustworthy. And very nice they were too. We highly recommend Brittania Leathbarrows for moving and storage facilities.
Thank you again.

Very good experience

We used Britannia last month to move from a storage unit in Dorset to our new home in Lancashire. We were very impressed with the crew - Neil James and another guy, a young chap who was not only super strong but incredibly polite. After a really terrible experience with a Britannia-affiliated company in Scotland, the Leatherbarrow crew really restored our faith in Britannia, which we had used before and had been very happy with.

Overall, efficient delivery, polite and respectful crew and actually a lower price than other removers had quoted us.

A continuing journey

We have just had the first part of our belongings returned out of storage. Neil asked Chris where superb. They arrived in time, extremely courteous and very patient with us as we are still living in a part building site!! Could not have been more helpful and supportive of our circumstances. Everything handled with care and respect. However, must say we have found all the people we have dealt with - the guys who came and packed up or home in the first place and those in the office - have been very good. Cannot recommend them enough. Just one more step to go to have all our home back together. Thank you all.

Professional, Friendly and Hardworking

Had a completely flawlessly move with Conell & Tony. Both were professional and courteous throughout. Offered up helpful advise for eg not starting the fridge straight away in the house to prevent damage.
Carpets were layed down to prevent mess .
Really couldn’t ask for more!

Making moving fun!

Neil, Danny and Jordan came over today to remove precious family furniture and other items to storage prior to my house move.
They were on time and worked fast, but it wasn't just their efficiency that was so great. It was a difficult day for me, because I was recently widowed. They were sympathetic and fun, plus they made me laugh. Great team.

Neil and Andy are incredible

Neil and Andy did an absolutely incredible job helping me to move home. Despite some of my stuff being in carrier bags because I ran out of boxes, they cracked on without a single complaint.
They were incredibly efficient and just amazing people. I honestly would have been lost without them.

Short Notice Removal

Circumstances meant we needed to arrange a removals firm at short notice. Rob came to assess our needs and give a quote. Within two weeks we had arranged a date, Craig and Ade arrived and loaded a van that we never thought would be big enough and by mid afternoon my parents in law were in their new home. A huge thank you to everyone who made this happen.

House unpacking

Jordan, Chris, Dave and Neil were great in unpacking all our belongings after relocating from Belgium back to the UK. They were friendly, efficient and particularly helpful in unpacking items carefully as unfortunately the packing done in Belgium - which was done by another company - had not been done to a high standard. Would recommend and use again.
