Great service from start to finish

Great service from start to finish. The move was made so stress free, lads on the truck were cheerful and polite, worked hard through the heat on the hottest weekend of the year so far. Kept them well hydrated and they soldiered on.

Great service moving from NE to EM

Great service moving from North East to Midlands. Lads were super efficient with the packing and pleasant with it. Very helpful. Treated our possessions carefully and so far haven't found a single broken item. They unloaded carefully into a newly decorated house with only minor marks on walls (nothing that you wouldn't expect when moving large furniture). They were happy to move things if requested from one room to another and were just generally very professional and polite. It's not cheap to move nowadays but they certainly made us feel like we'd spent our money well and I'd happily move with them again.

Excellent teams (London and Dirham)

Both teams (London and Dirham), were excellent. John, our driver was professional, courteous, friendly and very efficient.

Paul and L in Battersea packed things very well and labeled the boxes with sufficient detail to allow us to unpack efficiently at our new place.

Dave in Durham was very careful with the unpacking. Every team member took great care with our belongings. We appreciate this move was on the easier side, and this is the third move in 4 weeks - here and in the US - and this was by far the best.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!! We had a terrible experience, thousands of pounds worth of belongings damaged. Moved 10 minutes around the corner and what a shambles. Be aware that when you claim for damages it takes weeks and you only receive a percentage of cost depending on damage so replacement isn’t paid for. The amount we were reimbursed was comical especially with the £700 plus we paid for the initial cover taken off. Full of apologies yet not willing to do anything about it, everything was a fight. Hate leaving bad reviews but our experience was so dreadful I had to. Treat you like a fool by giving all of the staff fancy job titles to portray a professionally run business which is far from the case!

Hello Mrs O'Connor,

Thank you for the review, I understand that our services did not meet your expectations and I am very sorry to hear of the inconveniences and frustrations you experienced during your recent move with Hoults. We are truly disappointed that we fell short of your expectations on this occasion.

A settlement was offered to you and accepted in early March. We did rectify the premises damage and sent our crew on an additional day to complete an unpack and internal move for you.

I am sorry that you have had issues with the Claims handling team. Please be assured your feedback is very important to us in order we can strive for improvement to ensure such issues do not recur in the future and we thank you for taking the time to share your valued and honest feedback.

Kind regards,
Laura

Prompt arrival

The men arrived on time, worked really hard to get everything into the van. They were friendly, didn’t stop for lunch so we were not held up. They were careful with our belongings and tried several time to get a wardrobe up the stairs, but the space was too small.

My move from London to the NE of England

Hoults have moved my home contents from a 3 bed apartment in SE London to North East England which included 2 days of storage. The move was well orchestrated with care being taken with all of my belongings and are now safely and efficiently placed in my new home. Thank you so much to the friendly, cheerful and helpful team, Dave, Aaron and Harry. I would use Hoults again.

A job well done!

The guys from Hoults were very professional and respectful of my property. Everything was well packed to prevent any damage.
Everyone I spoke to was lovely and friendly and the people that came to remove and redeliver my furniture were very helpful. They dismantled my book shelves and helped me reassemble them after giving me time to clean them before putting them back in position.
This is the third time I've used the company to move my furniture, including shipping it to Belgium, and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to move house or needing to temporarily store furniture for any reason.
In the 74 boxes I had there was only one small item damaged.
