Brilliant
The guys who moved us from Peterborough to Newquay, Cornwall were brilliant. Made what has not been the easiest of conveyancing experiences so much better and we have moved a few times, this being our first Reads experience. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Reads Removals helped us with a move on Saturday 8th Dec 2018, out of our family home in Bedford to a one bedroom flat in Cambridge. Reads provided a quote very quickly, and at a reasonable price. Following this, every contact that we had with the company by telephone was well handled, with courtesy and professionalism. The actual move went very smoothly, conducted by Paul and Dave who were competent, courteous and smartly turned out. Overall we were very impressed by Reads and would certainly use them again.

Rob and Jimmy were absolute stars and made the move a lot more bearable than I was anticipating.
I was especially impressed of how thoughtful they were to myself and Martha our dog making sure she was always safe which was my biggest concern, I just couldn't fault them and how hard they worked.
I would certainly recommend your company to anyone although I hope that I won't be needing to move again.
PS I still have some empty boxes and paper to be collected if you are able to help.
Regards Ali and woofs from Martha

Dear Mrs Baranghan.
Thank you. Your feedback has been passed onto Rob and Jimmy. They would personally like to send their best wishes to you in your new home. I have passed on to logistics that you require a box collection. A member of our team will get in contact with you when are suitable time arises when we can collect. If you can keep them dry we will be able to recycle them, as we try to minimise our own carbon footprint. Yours sincerely, Reads Removals.

Stress free
From the initial contact, the home visit and quote, through to the actual move, Reeds were totally professional and understanding.
On the move day, the two lads who did it were a credit to the company.
Would have no issues recommending Reeds.

Excellent!! ..Lincolnshire to Cumbria
First class. We moved from Lincolnshire to Cumbria and the service from start to finish was excellent. The guys were polite and helpful and kept a cool head even when things got difficult, which they do when you are moving!! Have no hesitation in recommending them. They were also competitively priced.
Keep up the good work Reads

This is the first time we had removal people in to move us and to be honest we were a little apprehensive but on the big day they came round and were very friendly , helpfull and professional . They went above and beyond to help us and nothing was too much trouble , even lugging box's up to the 3rd floor . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone , very highly rated and can't praise their commitment and professionalism enough . Will Deffo use again but not for a few years .

I found my i-pad
I found my i-pad, where your men had packed it.
I have still not found my tv remote, and sky remote after all this time and I do not have any more boxes to open. As the tv was only 6 weeks old and the original remote not available, the generic ones do not work so I spent £30 for nothing.
