Clockwork Removals and Storage - Edinburgh Reviews 145

Fantastic service from Alan and the team. Highly recommend. 5 star service.

Extremely pleased with our experience of using Clockwork. They provided a quote very quickly and responded to all our questions beforehand. Excellent communication from start to finish. Removal team were respectful, careful and hard-working. Would absolutely recommend them and plan on using them again.

Excellent service from start to finish. We had a visit from Niall who was lovely to deal with and had a quote back to me within a couple of hours.
The removals team were excellent. Professional, friendly and really helpful. They did an outstanding job and I believe they went above and beyond what we were expecting from them.
I would recommend Clockwise to anyone looking to do a residential or business move.
Great team

Used Clockwork Removals a couple of times now. I wasn't aware of them prior to Taylor Wimpey arranging them for a house move, though as that went so smoothly we decided to use them again for our next move. Wayne is excellent and we dealt with him both times, really client focussed and keen that you get the service you want at the best price. Hoping we wont be moving again anytime soon, however if we do i will definitely look to use Clockwork removals again.

Very good experience with clockwork taking our house contents into and out of storage while we had some house renovations done. Good communications and staff removing us and bringing back from storage were very professional. Floors were protected and work was done very efficiently. Would definitely recommend clockwork.

Genuinely awful. We’ve made several international moves and whilst the Clockwork team was nice to start, they became unprofessional at the end. We were recommended them and wanted to support a local company in Edinburgh.

Chucked things into the container. Sighing loudly when I reminded them to pack last items that were definitely on the list and walk through. Blamed us for their incompetence. Didn’t pack in time for the port slot booked so we ended up being 2 months delayed.

Upon receiving the container, there was an estimated £5000 in damages. They simply wanted to finish the job and get to the pub. Truly unprofessional. And if you’re reading this thinking it won’t happen to you, well, quite frankly it doesn’t matter to me but thought I’d put the warning out anyway. There are plenty other international movers who have consistency of quality and professionalism. Santa Fe and Crown being two of them. Kicking ourselves for not going with them to start as we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. If you’re just wanting a lamp moved within Edinburgh, go for Clockwork. If you care about any of your items, don’t bother.

A definite 5* delivery of family furniture from Scotland to England.

The people I dealt with were all helpful and they shifted what I needed quickly.

Excellent service from the Team who helped with our move.
They packed everything carefully and labelled boxes so we could find after move
Very smooth process from start to finish

Alan and the team were great from start to finish. They made the whole move completely hassle free and were friendly, efficient, and professional throughout. Everything was handled with care, and the process felt smooth and well organised. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was a positive about this company - the guys doing the hard graft were professional, punctual, efficient and pleasant. Not a single thing was damaged. Other staff were helpful and easy to deal with too. Pricing was competitive and the whole thing went - as you would hope - like clockwork! Would not hesitate to recommend Clockwork if moving house.

The team were amazing from beginning to end. Able to accommodate a relatively late booking, arrived very promptly on the day and said ‘you can sit back and relax and we’ll sort this’. Great communication and friendly team on the day, nothing lost or broken, and all competitively priced. Can’t recommend highly enough! Thanks to the team for making - what could have been a very stressful day - a breeze.

Excellent service first class job. Would definetley reccomend to anyone thinking of moving.

Clockwork packed my goods and then stored them for 3 years. I was worried about the condition they might be in when I finally collected them. My goods were in exactly the same conditon they were in when Clockwork packed them.

We’ve worked with Clockworks Storage for two years now and use them for removals as well as year‑round storage of our stock. They’ve been consistently excellent throughout.
The team are a real pleasure to deal with friendly, reliable, and incredibly easy to organise with. Communication is clear, tasks are handled efficiently, and everything is completed exactly as agreed, which makes a huge difference when coordinating moves and managing ongoing storage.

I get no reply from them by email they only respond to these reviews ….. 2 weeks now have passed and nothing so I am writing as a matter of urgency.

I understand that the auction of my goods is proceeding today. I can see that some items that were placed into Clockwork’s custody are now appearing in the auction listings.

However, despite repeated written requests, I still have not been provided with:

a full itemised list of all goods transferred to the auctioneer,

a reconciliation showing which items were taken to auction and which remain in Clockwork’s custody, or

an explanation for the numerous identifiable items that remain missing from all valuation and auction documentation.

This is not a minor administrative issue. Clockwork, as bailee, is under a clear duty to properly account for goods entrusted into paid storage, particularly when exercising a lien and power of sale.
To be absolutely clear:

I am not disputing Clockwork’s contractual right to sell goods following non-payment.

I am disputing the fact that the auction is proceeding without full transparency, without a complete inventory, and with significant quantities of property unaccounted for.

At this point:

I can see some of my items listed for sale,

I cannot see many other high-value household and personal items that were placed into storage, and

I have no documentation confirming whether those items were ever transferred to the auctioneer, retained by Clockwork, or otherwise removed from custody.

Proceeding with the auction today without first resolving these discrepancies is inappropriate and risks causing irreversible loss before proper accounting has taken place.

I therefore formally require, without further delay:

Immediate written confirmation of all items transferred to the auctioneer, including lot numbers and estimated values.

Written confirmation of all items remaining in Clockwork’s custody.

A clear explanation for any items that do not appear in either category.

This email is sent to ensure there is a clear written record that Clockwork has been placed on notice of unresolved accounting failures before the auction concludes.

I expect an urgent response today.

Disappointing service from Clockwork when moving from larger home to smaller home out of town. Really disappointed. They were not the cheapest quote. The removals chaps were helpful and very polite but a number of things would lead me to not recommending Clockwork. Broken/dead house plants, TV broken, chair had been stood on and seat broken. All clothes were placed in boxes with no hanging rails so all our clothes extremely crumpled. There was no clear marking on boxes e.g. everyone used a different naming system - boxes named with room they came from, or room they were going into or just made up e.g. sewing room! This is not the team's fault, more lack of training. We paid for 2 sets of insurance packing damage and damage in transit the cover is very poor - e.g. price of a second hand TV suggested payout (probably cost the insurance company more to look for the cheapest TV they could find than they paid us). Also be very careful about move in times, we were delayed due to solicitors which cost us an additional £500 best to err on side of caution and agree later afternoon time so you don't have an additional bill.

Guys turned up promptly. Were excellent in getting everything packed away on van and were so good with getting all the bits and pieces which we hadn't manage to get away. Also at other end all boxes/packing boxes were put away and job finished promptly. Absolutely great job. Would definitely recommend.

Did the job as asked. One of the things during my renovations that went right.

We had an office move to do at very short notice. Quote received within 24 hrs of site visit and crates delivered within the week. On the day itself there were plenty of bodies to help out and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Polite and helpful, making it as stress free and smooth as possible. Unloaded promptly and systematically at our new premises.
