Packing
While most of our clients start off thinking they’ll pack everything themselves, packing can be a much bigger job than most people realise.
It’s easy to underestimate how long you need to set aside to get ready for your move. For example, if you’ve got a three bedroom property, you’re likely to need around 40 packing boxes.
If it takes you on average 20 minutes to pack a box, you could spend at least 14 hours packing.
Self storage
If you want easy access to your belongings, take a look at our sister company Plymouth Self Storage.
You can choose the amount of storage space you need, and how long you want it for.
Once you’ve got your storage space, you’ll have access to it six days a week with no extra charges.

Hackworthy's moved us from Devon to Glasgow. The office staff and movers could not have been more helpful. Fees were competitive. We would definitely recommend using Hackworthy's.

The removal team were hard working and very helpful..My things were moved into storage. When they arrived to my permanent address several items were damaged,it appeared that they had suffered water damage while in storage.
There was also a chip to a wooden table and a large chunk taken out of a bookcase. I claimed but was told that dud to the excess I could not get any compensation. Disappointing service while in storage,better care should havd been taken. I can't in all honestly recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We’re pleased to hear that you found our removal team hardworking and helpful, and we appreciate you acknowledging this.
We’re sorry to learn of your concerns regarding the condition of some items following storage. All items were stored in line with our standard procedures, and when your claim was reviewed, it fell below the policy excess, which is why compensation was not payable. However, I note that some of the items listed in your review were not part of your initial claim.
We aim to be clear and transparent about our terms and the claims process, both before and after a move. While it’s always disappointing when things don’t go as planned, we do our best to handle concerns fairly and work towards the best possible outcome.
As your review has been left while communication is ongoing, we remain happy to continue discussing any concerns directly and to review any additional information you feel may be relevant. Our aim is always to handle issues fairly and transparently.
Thank you again for your feedback, which we take seriously and use to review and improve our services.

Wish I could give 6 stars
I only give it 5 stars as I cannot give it 6. This company were exceptional and so helpful from Kevin who guided us through the best way to achieve what we wanted from the move, some storage, some left and some immediately to our new house. As ften when moving house, the date moved on three occasions, but every time this was handled very efficiently by the office staff. As to the move itself, this being two days with one for packing and one for the move. The packing was excellent and worth every penny when you saw hw your artifacts were so carefull handled and packed away. Then the move itself again conducted professionally and the removal guys could just not do enough for us. (Mind you we did supply tea with an adequate supply of biscuits)!!
Cannot rate this company highly enough.

It was our pleasure to support you throughout your move, and we’re thrilled that Kevin and the team were able to guide you smoothly through the changing dates and planning. Moving home can be stressful, so knowing you felt well looked after means a great deal to us.
We’re also really pleased that the packing and moving teams impressed you with their care, professionalism, and hard work. Your lovely supply of tea and biscuits certainly helped keep them going — they’ll be very grateful for the mention!
Thank you again for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate it and wish you every happiness in your new home.
Great service
We chose Hackworthy & Sons to move our elderly mum.
The quote we received was very competitive in fact in was one of the better priced quotes we received.
They turned up on time.
Two guys came and packed Mum’s belongings into boxes with care and consideration.
They loaded all her furniture onto their van in exactly the same way and then delivered to her new address.
They were polite and courteous and made the whole experience faultless.
I would definitely recommend Hackworthy & Sons to do your removals.
The two guys that came were a credit to your company.

Had a 2 day full pack and move service
Had a 2 day full pack and move service. The team were excellent. Arrived promptly on the first morning and laboured away all day packing my house up. Nothing was too much trouble. The two man team on day one, were upbeat engaging and high spirited all day which made the whole, daunting process so much more enjoyable. I was left with my bed and tv for my final night which was a nice touch. Day two they were joined by a couple more colleagues to finish the packing and load the last bits onto the van, which was just as seamless as day one.
I moved with 2 cats, and they were so accommodating when it came to which room I would need unloading first so as to create a safe space for the cats when we arrived at the new house.
The service was faultless from start to finish and, aside from the mocking of my gin and shoe collection, the team were amazing! lol 😉
I opted for the key delay fee for peace of mind so wouldn’t fall foul of any unexpected delays.
Would highly recommend Hackworthy & Sons to anyone who was considering a move and strongly suggest opting for their full pack and move service.

Absolutely brilliant!
All the team at Hackworthy were excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble, Ollie, Glynn and the team worked tirelessly to make sure our family house move was a smooth as possible, even with a few complications (not theirs!) on moving day. All this whilst managing to keep a sense of humour too! Great blokes and a fantastic service. Couldn’t have been happier.

We received excellent service from Hackworthy
We received excellent service from beginning to end.
Reg, who carried out the initial home visit went to great lengths to put our minds at ease regarding the ‘big day’.
The two day move was carried out with great care to ensure our property arrived safely and, at our new home, was placed exactly where we needed it.
A massive thankyou to the two men who did the move. They worked extremely hard and at times in the most awful weather conditions.
Would highly recommend Hackworthy every time.
