Got in touch with Reds Removals through their online quote form and had a quote back within an hour for my mum’s move. Great service from start to finish and the lads were brilliant on the day. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Tony
Thanks for the positive feedback, we hope you mum's settling in to her new home.
Thanks again
Team Red! 😊
We had a very good experience moving with Reds Removals. Our move was not straight forward due to distance, so there was a collection one day, storage overnight and then delivery the next day. Everything was done professionally, no damage to any items. Lovely people to deal with. We would definitely recommend this Family business.

Thank you, Paula, for the lovely review. It was a pleasure helping with your move and we’re really pleased everything went smoothly. Thank you for choosing Reds and for recommending our family business — it really means a lot to us.
Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company. We found them very careless with our furniture, with several items not properly protected during the move and some being damaged. The overall service felt unprofessional, communication was rude, and we felt overcharged for the service ultimately provided. Overall, a very disappointing experience that left us with little trust in the company.

We are sorry to see this review following the recent disagreement regarding the price of your move.
This was not the customer’s first experience with Reds Removals. We had previously carried out a move for the customer, and they chose to use our services again for this move.
We would like to clarify that the arrangements for the move were significantly changed at the customer’s request. The original agreement was for Reds Removals to professionally load the belongings into our removal vehicle, transport them to the customer’s chosen storage facility and unload them into storage.
At approximately 11pm on the night before the move was due to take place, the customer changed these arrangements. Rather than Reds Removals transporting and unloading the belongings into storage as agreed, a family member would load them into a privately hired vehicle and transport them approximately 300 miles to Brighton. We continued to assist by bringing the belongings out to the vehicle.
Before arriving, we had specifically advised that Reds Removals would not professionally load or secure the privately hired vehicle. The loading, securing and onward transportation were therefore undertaken by the family member, and we cannot accept responsibility for how the belongings were loaded, secured or transported during that journey.
Our normal service uses a combination of shrink-wrap, specialist protective covers and removal blankets as required, with additional transit protection applied when furniture is professionally loaded into our removal vehicles.
The review also refers to damaged items. At the time of writing this response, no details or photographs of any alleged damage have been provided to Reds Removals, despite extensive correspondence regarding the customer’s concerns.
The price was a fixed, all-inclusive price agreed before the move commenced following discussions with the customer. It included a full packing service, the removal itself, and the specialist dismantling, collection and delivery of a 7ft slate-bed pool table, which was carried out by a specialist pool table company. The work was also carried out over a Bank Holiday weekend.
Despite the significant last-minute change to the arrangements, the agreed price did not increase by a single penny. It was not an hourly or daily rate.
We take complaints seriously and have responded directly and in detail to the concerns raised. While we are disappointed that we have been unable to reach an agreement, we stand by the service provided and the explanations given.

We have used Reds Removals twice now and although we don't plan to move house again, if we did, we wouldn't use anyone else! From start to finish they were brilliant and made a hard, stressful process a lot easier. We couldn't have moved house without them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️... 5 stars from us!

I was incredibly anxious about my move as I had never hired people before, only had family help. But I had big furniture that I needed help with this time. I started to panic when I was trying to explain my anxieties (Such as 'outside dirt' coming into the home) and they reassured me with kindness and patience. They talked me through some things they were doing so the day didn't go to quickly or slowly for me, it was at my own pace.
Nothing was broken or left behind. They even had special soft containers for all my art work. Even random awkward loose items I wasn't sure how to secure (such as the air fryer, lamps etc) they had ways to take everything safely. Things like sofas were wrapped so no dirt got on anything.
I was surprised at how much less stressful the move was because of these two people. They did a great job. Thank you.
