Could o better

Clark and Rose were good value for money. The removing team were friendly and efficient in moving a large house in the time agreed. However, their approach was quite haphazard. For example, instead of leaving our bed until the last, they dismantled it nearly 5 days before the actual date of removal. Instead of starting to pack in the areas causing least disruption, they did the opposite. Boxes were incorrectly labelled and delivered to the wrong rooms in the new house. There were some breakages, including an irreplaceable piece of sculpture.

Reply from Clark & Rose (Removals) Limited

Dear Mr Lester-Davies,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you found our service to be good value for money and that our removal team was friendly and efficient. We are extremely proud of our crews and the hard work they put in supporting our customers, so it’s especially encouraging to hear your positive comments in this regard.

That said, we’re sorry that aspects of the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Our crews are trained to work around clients’ preferences and to minimise disruption wherever possible, including leaving essential items until the final stages of a move. We are therefore reviewing the timing of the dismantling of your bed with the team to understand what happened in this instance. We also apologise for any boxes being incorrectly labelled or placed in the wrong rooms in your new home—while we aim for accuracy at every stage, we recognise how frustrating even small oversights can be.

Your move was a large and complex one, and our current understanding is that three items sustained damage. We appreciate that any damage, however limited in scope, is disappointing and our office team are already in touch and actively working to resolve this for you. In particular, based on the photograph you kindly provided, we are hopeful that the pottery animal sculpture can be successfully repaired.

Your feedback is extremely important to us and will be used to inform our internal reviews and training, helping us further strengthen our packing, handling, and communication processes. In the meantime, please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused, and we remain committed to putting things right for you.

Yours sincerely,

Clark and Rose

Great experience with Clark and Rose

Right from the first contact, the team at Clark and Rose were communicative, knowledgable, professional and friendly. I felt reassured and confident that my house move would be in safe hands.
On the day, John and Ian were on time, careful, respectful of my properly and possessions and had a great sense of humour! They certainly made what is always a stressful time much easier to manage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clark and Rose to anyone considering their services.

The whole team really made the effort…

The whole team really made the effort to where possible to make it a stress free as possible move.

One suggestion as a constructive criticism would be to add in your process, the verbal reminder to client
(Although in terms& conditions clause)
Who calls for removal of empty boxes and packing, that this is a one time collection only and not a staged collection and removal so make sure all to be removed is total and complete.

Exceptional service, communication, transparency and an overall great moving experience

I recently relocated from Canada to Edinburgh, UK and was quite nervous about the shipping process (communications, added costs, delays, and potential damage). I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Clark & Rose, who handled the UK side of my relocation.

Lynn Page was fantastic - her communication was extremely efficient and she was always available when I had questions, including a stressful last-minute request.

To my surprise, my items arrived earlier than expected, and the team who came to the house were excellent. They were very careful with everything, flexible with a number of requests, and handled a particularly difficult laneway with ease. Everything arrived in the same condition it left Canada in - and I was delighted with the experience.

I would highly recommend Clark & Rose (Aberdeen branch)!

Excellent for a long move south

Good experience from the initial visit to assess for the move to the furniture arriving in our new home. All the staff were very friendly, worked hard, everything was packed well and arrived safely.

Relocation from Biggleswade to Scotland

I recently relocated from Biggleswade to Scotland, the team at Clark & Rose were exceptional. From start to finish I was updated on all aspects of my relocation, the Biggleswade team arrived on time, packed up with care and got on the road, the Scotland team arrived within a few days and were fantastic, by late afternoon they offloaded 8 crates to the required rooms. I would not hesitate to use Clark & Rose again and would highly recommend.

Highly recommend this Removal Company

The Removal guys Keegan and Scott were very pleasant and professional. They arrived promptly and were very efficient and careful with my belongings. This made the moving experience a very positive one. This also includes the administration staff, namely Lynn and Veronica, Portlethan, who guided me through the paperwork which was required. They were very helpful and kept in contact with me during this process. It also felt easy to call them if I had a question or concern. It was definitely stress free and I am very happy to recommend this company.

March 2026 move

From initial survey which was professional and spot on in terms of estimating boxes and cubic volume of goods to then packing & uplift of our belongings was all done by friendly and professional team who took great care. Unpacking of furniture at our new house was no problem and team patiently moved furniture until we were happy they were in the right position . All unloaded safe and sound and empty boxes and packing removed very promptly. Excellent moving experience couldn’t fault the team and would definitely recommend as made a stressful event so much easier.

5/5 – Excellent service!

Clark & Rose made our move stress-free. The team was very respectful of both properties, carefully protecting floors, walls, and doors. They handled all our belongings (including fragile items) with real care and left everything spotless. Professional, polite, and thorough. Highly recommend – we’d use them again in a heartbeat!

Complete Disregard for local people in their cavalier parking.

Clark and Rose have happily parked one of their lorries on the A1151 for 48 hours so far, completely blocking one side of the carriageway and causing extensive traffic delays (45 minutes to drive 1 mile due to their parking). No sign of a driver or removals staff packing the lorry, and their attitude on the phone was dismissive and rude.
They have no care or concern for the hundreds of people who have been substantially inconvenienced by their thoughtless parking and have obviously given no thought to the environmental and health impacts of causing hundreds of cars to move at a snails pace past residential properties and a route that schoolchildren and parents with pushchairs walk.

Of course we all understand that removals can be inconvenient for other residents but to deliberately block a road that is a main through route for 2 consecutive days with no sign of any loading or unloading is appalling.

FOLLOW UP

Despite their statement below that the lorry was being loaded, I drove past the lorry 4 times in 2 days, and my daughter also 4 times in 2 days and on NONE of those occasions (all during hours 9am - 5pm) there was no sign of any staff or an additional vehicle. The total amount of time that we (just two of the hundreds of people who use that main road each day) we were delayed by more than 2 hours each on both days. If there was a necessity for the vehicle to be so thoughtlessly parked during the day, it could and should have been moved elsewhere when not actively being loaded. Roy’s Coach Park would have had ample space overnight which would have ensured that all commuters were not inconvenienced and would have gone a long way to minimising the disruption.

Given Clark and Roses unprofessional and thoughtless attitude to the inconvenience they have caused to local people I would never trust them with a removal service.

Reply from Clark & Rose (Removals) Limited

Dear Gills,

Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear of what sounds like a frustrating experience.

However, we would like to clarify a few important points. The vehicle in question was parked legally while our team was carrying out a house move at a nearby property. Due to access restrictions at the property itself, positioning the vehicle on the A1151 was necessary in order to complete the move safely and effectively.

With respect, the vehicle was not parked for 48 hours without activity, as suggested. This was a two-day move, and the vehicle was present for approximately five hours on each day. During that time, our crew were actively engaged in the move, although they may not always have been visible from the road while working inside the property. A smaller vehicle, used to transfer items from the larger lorry, was positioned in the driveway to the side of the house and therefore perhaps out of sight from the road. The driveway itself could not accommodate the larger removal vehicle.

Thank you for recognising that removals are necessary and that a degree of inconvenience may sometimes be inevitable. We appreciate that large vehicles may bring temporary disruption, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, other road users, or local residents. That said, the suggestion that our team acted thoughtlessly or without consideration is somewhat unfair and does not reflect the care and planning that go into carrying out our work.

With regard to your phone call, we are sorry if the conversation left you feeling dissatisfied. Moving house can be a stressful time for those involved, and we are extremely proud of our staff who, with professionalism and patience, have to handle a wide range of challenging situations. We would have thought they would have done their best to explain the circumstances, although unfortunately they could not change the practical requirements of the move, and the source of your irritation.

Clark & Rose always aim to carry out removals as professionally and responsibly as possible while balancing the practical realities of moving large households in areas where access can be limited. While disruption is never our intention, regrettably, situations of this nature can occasionally be unavoidable.

Apologies, and thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns.

Sincerely,

Clark and Rose

We used the services of Clark and Rose…

We used the services of Clark and Rose to pack, move, store and deliver when selling and buying recently. Would recommend as the service from start to finish was excellent. From the initial home visit, communication through the office with Emily and the moving team of Alan, Robbie and Gary (very hardworking, conscientious and good humoured. Even when moving from a second floor flat) we are very happy with it all, thank you.
