Highlights

"Huge thanks to 1st Choice Removals for an amazing job today. Chris and Theo were absolutely fantastic — professional, efficient, and friendly throughout. Highly recommend! And big thank you to Claire for all her support prior to the move."

"1st choice removals stepped in with one week to go for our house move. Although we had a company booked, when we exchanged contracts, they had already booked another customer. So imagine our panic at this point. Chris and Claire calmed our nerves, and offered to fully pack and move us to the new property. They were prompt, efficient, and had everything they needed to pack the entire house in time. I had a large garage which I was worried about, but this was done too. The day of the move happened without any issues. Everything was moved and installed into the new house perfectly."

"I can’t recommend Claire, Chris, Kevin and Theo highly enough. I have moved a few times over the last 10 years and 1st Choice Removals have been by far the best removal firm I have experienced. Great communication, efficient, careful and everything you would want when trusting your belongings. And excellent value for money. This was a long distance move and even though the team had a long drive home after a long day, they insisted on ensuring I was happy before they would leave. I don’t think you could be in better hands than the 1st Choice team."
