Brilliant service from Leon and Adrian. They could not have worked harder or been more professional. Also the lady who visited and provided the quotation was really excellent. I would not hesitate to use your organisation again.

Could not fault the guys

Could not fault the guys, Adrian and Leon who worked so hard on pre-move day and moving day, nothing was too much trouble for them, they were professional but also very down to earth, they certainly earned their money! I have to give credit where credit is due, they are an asset to the company. Would definately recommend Reads Removals, keep up the good work 🏡😀

Dear Rhiannon, Thank you. The gentleman that you had for your move have been informed of your positive review. They are very grateful for you kind words as they always try to go above and beyond for every customer, however, often never get the appreciation they deserve. They further would like to wish you all the best in your new home. Reads

Lincolnshire to the Scottish Borders.

Lincolnshire to the Scottish Borders.
Reads were very friendly and professional in everything that they did. From the survey prior to making quote, the arrangements for the move, the actual packing and to the delivery to our new home, they made everything as easy as possible for us.
We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone about to move house. They were the shining beacon in all our dealings with many so called professionals involved in our house sale and purchase.
