Armishaws Removals & Storage Avis 

Sam and Ben were brilliant: friendly, understanding and extremely efficient and professional. Moving is a difficult process, and they made it much less stressful.

Lovely chaps who know what they’re doing. Sam and Ben were very polite and worked very hard making a few jokes along the way to make our day just that even bit better. Would definitely recommend and will book again for our next move!

Sam & Ben were great! They arrived a day early to help start packing up our house and were a massive help.
Both were really friendly and polite and very professional.
Our little boy was sad to see them leave when they had finished.

A good crew lead by a good leader - Darren. Worked together well despite sitting out out a four hour late completion on Friday without complaint. Follow up crew very good too. All very can do.

The team were great… careful, friendly, helpful, worked really hard and did everything on time. I would highly recommend them. Thanks

We moved on the 9/10 of January we had the 2 most efficient and polite movers we could ask for in and out on the pack day withing 4hrs which was speedy and efficient and on the drop of the next day was even better nothing damaged and everything was placed where the boxes was marked while I try and set up the 2 bed room both Sam and Ben just unpacked the truck round me I was very happy with the team and how the move went.

Kind regards

We used Armishaws at the end of October 2024,the team were very fast and overly efficient and did not listen when asked not to pack personal items we had left on the bed in our room, they were to go with us in our car, I had to leave the house for 10 minutes returned to find they had packed them. I asked in which boxes were they the young guy could not remember. A few days after the move when we had finished the unpacking one item was missing reported it to the general manager and to the police, made a statement hoped that the item would be found. Waited 10 weeks no response from Armishaws, when I phoned the general manager, he said they did not insure those sort of items and it was my fault, he was aggressive and he did shout at me ( I did not raise my voice at all ) I felt that this was not my fault as they had been asked not to touch those items, wrote a letter of complaint to the directors of Armishaw and never received an answer or acknowledgement of my letter. The items that never arrived at our new home where the only connection I had to my late Mother and Sister, so shame on them all.

My removal was very efficient, quick and organised thanks to Arthur, Lloyd and Coleahr (sorry spelling). John (transport manager) was also helpful and reduced my stress levels to a manageable level. Again a huge thank you to all the boys involved. A definite recommendation for others.

The 3 men that helped us move were friendly, professional, prompt and handled all of our goods and furniture with utmost care. Would use this company again and recommend to anyone. Fantastic service. Shout out to Alex for handling the warhammer with the best of care also 😄

Thankyou Armishaws!

A huge massive thanks to Darin & Floyd 🙏from Armishaws Removals for their amazing work💪 & smooth transition of our whole house from North Yorkshire to Colchester. They are very professional👍 & yet very friendly.🤣 Packing was done within great time & unpacking was spot on. 😊Big thank you guys again from dog(biscuit) & Andreas 🙏🎉

Thank you for doing our move last week from Swindon to Lincolnshire. The team were excellent, particularly Gary and Craig who did the full move. Their hard work and polite, helpful service made it a straightforward and relatively low stress experience.

Those is the 2nd time this year that I've used the moving services of Armishaws. I learnt a few tricks from the first move and it made the experience so much smoother.

Ben & Sam are an absolute delight. They are professional,polite and hardworking. We started in Wiltshire which was cold and today it was cold and miserable in Wales but it didn't put a dampener on their efforts.

If I was to move again, I would not only use Armishaws but I'd ask for both Ben & Sam to do the job.

Armishaws were excellent in sorting out our move from the south of Reading to Bristol. Highly responsive and helpful, they gave great advice and we felt in very safe hands throughout. Moving can be a stressful experience but we had a rather easy time of it thanks to their experience, friendliness and professionalism. We have unpacked the bulk of our items and are yet to identify anything that suffered even a scratch during the move. Special thanks to Craig, Andrew, Taylor, Andy, Alec and the finance/admin team. If we ever need to move again we know who to call.

This was our first move for a number of years so the volume to be moved was extensive.
From initial contact to the final delivery in central France, Armishaws provided exemplary service. Communication was superb and for me the perfect service.
The move was from North Dorset to SW France with a period in store at the depot in Wincanton.
Due to unnecessary complications in the chain, we only had 3 very stressful days to pack before the lorry arrived. Once the Armishaws team took over, the stress lifted.
The team from Armishaws worked like dervishes, swarming all over the house, split in to 2 teams, loading the removal lorry to the roof.
The packing completed the following day to clear the final items.
Just over 2 weeks later, after completion on the new home in France, we were informed that the furniture would arrive the following week.
Communications were perfect, and the lorry arrived on time at 2pm.
I met the lorry at the outskirts of the village and at slow speed guided it through to the village hall car park where the trailer was unhitched, then down the road to unload.
Darin and Ciaren steadily unloaded the vehicle, in 38 degree heat, finally closing the doors of the lorry at 8pm.
One cannot but praise these 2 men, unloading in 6 hours, in the extreme heat, what up to 5 men took one and a half days to load. Luckily we had already installed a fridge and kept them hydrated with chilled water and icecream, as well as a buckets of cold water and cloths to cool down.
Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept smiling and in good humour throughout, despite the heat.

Yes, one or two minor scratches occurred during loading, surprising as how well the loading team had protected the furniture with blankets. But nothing that did not polish out.
I cannot overstate how this 2 man super delivery team performed. A credit to the Company.
If another move was to occur, I would definitely contact Armishaws again.

Great service from start to finish! From first enquiry to completion of the ordering, the office staff communicated well. And the removals went without a hitch. Excellent service from Mike and Kaden who were on time, polite and very speedy with the wrapping/loading!
Definitely recommend!

AN EDITED UPDATE Part 2. in December 2024: after my initial nightmare review of the move from our previous house into Armishaw's Wincanton storage facility, (See the full excruciating experience of Part 1 on Trustpilot 8th Nov 2020,) we later took those possessions out of their storage in Wincanton over Winter 2021/ Spring 2022 directly from their lorry into local storage units.

Many items disappeared but of course we had to sign Terms and Conditions a couple of years later when goods finally started to be moved into our newly renovated house over winter 21/ Spring 22 ... so we have no proof as you would in one direct move ... all I can therefore do is draw attention to our dire experience of both Part 1 and now Part 2.

Posting here after finally unpacking all boxes in 2024, in Devon ... the following were missing: many of my wife's shoes packed in their original boxes, many expensive kitchen pans and a beautiful set of large expensive calving boards and breadboard, costing many £ hundreds ... a long extended set of ladders,(err ... how could you possibly lose such a thing?) ... if we were to do this all over again I would not choose Armishaws

Paul and the team (Luke packing; Taylor unpacking) were like a swarm of locusts, packing a house which we have seen take a team of four twice as long.

Friendly, innovative, helpful.

No damage to walls / door frames - unusual in my experience - and they got items out that had necessitated doors coming off on the way in!

One very small gripe - Paul may need to do a wee bit of training with the lads on packing hats and lampshades. Handily I was getting rid of them anyway.

Outstanding service from beginning to end. Efficient admin. Ben and Sam who did the actual removal were brilliant. Polite, professional and very methodical. They went out of their way to make everything as smooth as possible and made what can be a very stressful event as easy as possible for me. I highly recommend this team and this service.

The Armshaw team have just moved all our belongings from Buckinghamshire to the Wirral. Paul & Martin were fantastic. They took great care of everything and must have walked miles putting everything into a store on the Wirral. I would highly recommend this company.

Ipswich to Hampshire. Paul and Luke arrived promptly, both introduced themselves and before starting the packing/loading they asked us to walk around and show them what needed done. They were extremely efficient, continued to communicate throughout, and were also very friendly. This is our 5th house move and the least stressful one we have had yet, it all went so smoothly. Thank you! ☺️
