Very good experience with clockwork…

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

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience.

As the subcontracted removals team, we worked closely with the appointed company, 1st Move, throughout the process and this review is the first time any concerns regarding damages or service issues have been raised to us. Had we been made aware at the time, we would of course have welcomed the opportunity to address them directly.

Our team worked additional hours on the day to accommodate a larger shipment than originally scheduled, including arranging extra staff to ensure everything requested could be loaded. We appreciate that international moves can be stressful, and our intention throughout was to be as helpful and accommodating as possible.

We would also like to clarify that the shipping schedule and container booking arrangements were managed separately through 1st Move, so delays relating to port and container availability were unfortunately outside of our control.

We always aim to provide a professional and respectful service to every customer, and we are disappointed to read comments suggesting otherwise. Nevertheless, we do appreciate all feedback and will continue striving to deliver the high standards we expect of ourselves.

Clockwork were just brilliant from start to finish. Joanne in the office handled everything with a restful, friendly super-efficiency, Ryan on the site visit was incredible, putting all my nervousness and fears at ease as he explained how it would all be co-ordinated as my first time completing sale and purchase on one day, and then the team of three who arrived even earlier than expected so I didn’t need to worry and worked with patience, politeness, understanding and skill - even though I am now on second floor and they had hundreds of boxes to bring up. I honestly cannot thank them enough, no problems whatsoever and amazingly priced for all that expertise and care.

Cheerful efficient removers

Cheerful efficient removers, despite making a mistake and taking something that should have been left!
Speedy but careful with more delicate items. Shame they couldn’t have been around when we needed to get rid of empty boxes!

Thank you for your kind words about our team – we’re really pleased to hear this. We’re sorry for the mix-up with the item that should have been left behind, and we appreciate your understanding on this. Regarding the empty boxes, we do always aim to collect these wherever possible. However, for logistical and environmental reasons, we try to combine box collections in the same area, which can sometimes mean it takes a little longer than expected. We completely understand how useful it would have been to have them gone sooner, and we appreciate your patience.

Absolutely brilliant - highly recommend!

We were happy with the service provided from the quoting and information stage to the guys who moved everything on the day. Everyone we spoke to was helpful in answering our queries and organising what we needed. On the day the guys were absolutely fabulous. Such cheery positive attitudes whilst carrying and manoeuvring all of our furniture and belongings! They kept us smiling and were very efficient in their work too. We are glad we chose Clockwork and would highly recommend them!

A reliable,efficient company with staff that make the move, as stressful as it is, literally go like clockwork. The office staff are helpful and reassuring and the lads on the day were amazing. Both me and my elderly mum, separately, have used the Sheffield branch to move from Derbyshire to Greater Manchester. I would highly recommend them.

Total disregard for property

The staff I've dealt with have had no respect for my property at all. I had stuff in storage & received it back the the house 2 weeks ago. Everything was so slap dash it was unbelievable. Everything was just thrown into the room with no care. Would never recommend this company.

We’re sorry to hear you are unhappy with your experience. This job was arranged through the council, who advised that your property would be suitable for delivery. When our team arrived, space was very limited, and they followed your request to place all items in the living room. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further and better understand your concerns. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can look into this properly.

The removal men

The removal men were fantastic, but despite taking out insurance for cancellations and delays, I was contacted by phone from the office to be told the insurance expired at 3 o'clock, I didn't get keys until 4.45.
Had I not received keys by five I would have had to book into a hotel, which would have been cheaper than the excess I had to pay.

If I had the keys earlier the move would have been five star.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the removal team, we’re really pleased to hear you found them fantastic.

We’re sorry to hear about the delay in receiving your keys and understand how stressful that must have been on moving day, especially with the uncertainty around timing.

Just to clarify, you did take out the waiting time waiver, which covers up to 2 hours of waiting for keys as per our terms and conditions. In this instance, the waiting time was 3 hours and 45 minutes, so the additional charge applied was only for the extra 1 hour and 45 minutes beyond the covered period.

We do appreciate this can still feel frustrating when delays are outside of your control, and your feedback is important to us. We’re glad the move went well overall, and we hope you’re settling into your new home nicely.

We like the way they move!

Plentiful packaging provided for our move with uplift and delivery arrangements that suited us perfectly. The crew were very helpful & friendly putting furniture and boxes in the rooms requested which made unpacking a good bit less stressful. We would be very happy to recommend them to anyone looking to move home as painlessly as possible. Thanks again guys!

Felt less stressed having a couple of calm presences!

I really appreciated the communication from requesting a quote all the way to signing that everything had been moved. It was helpful to have an initial visit to get an accurate estimate of the amount being moved so there were no surprises on the day. The two ‘Jamies’ who did my move showed up promptly and made me feel really comfortable and safe. They had everything loaded securely within an hour (including dismantling my bed) despite the fact I was still cleaning around them! Our timing was magic getting to the new home and again everything was in the house and bed made up within the hour. They were conscious to ask me if I wanted boxes in specific rooms and made a point of taking heavier items upstairs for me.
Made the day so much less stressful for me having a couple of calm presences - thank you!
