Excellent service. Arrived on time, each man introduced himself and took time to walk through property to understand requirements in each room. Worked efficiently and took care to protect items for transit. Would definitely use again without question. Extremely highly recommended!

A two stage move with our belongings held in storage for over a month. Only one minor breakage (a small dropped dish that was immediately brought to our attention) - the removal guys were friendly and consciencious throughout with good communication from Bournes. I was very happy that they do not subcontract and instead turn work away if they are too busy.
Why a dropped star - well we have been left with a mountain of carboard and packing materials which will take an age to dispose of - even with trips to the dump.
Also I was not convinced with the cost/benefit of the general insurance offering (check this yourself but in the end we decided to take the risk). However - that said we are glad that Bournes highlighted the risk of other parties changing the required date in a move and we are glad we insured against this - even though we had been led to believe the completion date was set in stone for the other parties in our small chain - it turned out that it wasn't.

The lead up to the removal went very smoothly indeed and Bournes were very cost effective with their pricing and the people who moved us on the day were efficient and functional

Brilliant from start to finish, the whole team were very professional and the removal team were very efficient and careful with the furniture, boxes etc. I would highly recommend them for your move.

The Team were excellent, Jamie, Able, Arron and Dan just got on with everything, and were polite, very helpful and patient. Nothing was too much trouble, including any request to move furniture around if it didn’t seem to go in the first place we requested it to be positioned.
I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Bournes/Robinson’s, and hope to be able to call on your good services when we next move!!

Friendly and polite packers and movers and they were very careful with all the stuff. Went beyond what was expected. Communication about pick up, paperwork, and drop off was spot on.

Everything was excellent from the gentleman who came initially to Julia in the office who was always kind and helpful. Then all of the removal men were absolutely great nothing too much trouble. Polite professional and kind. On the Monday the 2 guys were so calm and methodical they never rushed us.

We recently moved from London to Melbourne with Bournes, and the experience was outstanding. The team was professional, organized and incredibly attentive from start to finish. Every step - packing, shipping, communication was handled with efficiency. Our belongings arrived safely. Highly recommend Bournes to anyone planning an international move.

Straightforward and friendly to deal with. Survey done promptly with comprehensive quote. Were generally competitive in price terms (one other was a fair bit cheaper but I wasn't comfortable with their approach so preferred to pay more). Move team worked very hard over a 4 day move with some challenges unloading at our new house. Would recommend to others

We were really pleased with the service from start to finish. We opted for the full packing service and it made such a difference – everything was carefully wrapped, organised, and absolutely nothing was damaged in the move. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free, which is exactly what you want on moving day.
Fred and the team were fantastic – friendly, professional, and efficient throughout. They clearly knew what they were doing and worked brilliantly together. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality removal company.

Bournes were great. Friendly helpful service from the start. The lady I spoke to on the phone, Julia, was very pleasant. The guys that packed and moved our possessions were friendly and courteous and careful with our belongings.

So easy to deal with from the start and throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend Bournes.

Moving to Italy - my family and I made the leap from the UK to Italy three years ago. We kept our belongings in storage and had them delivered this year. There's always a concern that things may go missing, get damaged or mouldy. None of this was the case.
Being re-united with our belongings after such a time was a little emotional, time passes, things change in an instant in life. So there were memories. They guys who delivered everything were happy, smiling, helpful and considerate.
From Bournes in the UK to their Italian colleagues the whole experience was exceptional. There were a couple of inevitable challenges, that were dealt with professionally and with clarity and diligence.
We are indebted to Bournes for handling everything so well. I cannot imagine how they might have improved their service. Finding companies who are so thoroughly reliable is not easy.
I would and shall recommend Bournes as the very best I could find.
Thank you Bournes.

We moved from a 5 bed house to a 6 bed house and I was dreading the removals but Bournes were incredible. They honestly couldn't have been better. Very smiley and so helpful. They did the move over 4 days with a weekend in between. No breakages. No cabinet keys lost etc. Emptied our entire loft in no time at all - it was full! A really lovely team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They were very good value for money - I got a few quotes and they were very competitive. So pleased I booked them.

Excellent and very professional.
We would really recommend the company.
They took the stress out of moving because everyone involved were very helpful and they provided such a good service.

The men were great and very professional.
Communication with both the office before the move and the men during was very good too.
Movers were always on time.
Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Reply from Bournes Moves - Removals, Storage & Shipping
We were well looked after and the crews were amazing. We felt less stressed as there wasn’t anything for us to do apart from hoovering our property before we left.
