A professional and well organised removal

Sam and Toby led our removal which was over 5 days including all packing. The whole team were professional, courteous and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they managed to keep their sense of humour in spite of the very hot weather! All round an excellent experience!!

Moving house on the hottest day of the year

Darin, Sam and TJ recently moved me into my new bungalow from a large family house. They worked so hard when it was the hottest day of the year (so far) and it was only slightly cooler on the second day.
They were all so polite and helpful at all times and checked in with me when unsure whether a certain item needed to be loaded on the lorry.
I opted for the packing service and this they carried out with great care.
What an impressive team - I was so glad to have their support

Lack of professionalism

In April 2025 we had three removal companies give us a quote to move house.
All three gave professional estimates with varying prices. Armishaws was in the middle. The estimator told me that if I pay £100 today I would go on the preferential customer list guaranteeing vehicles for the day, he said it was a no brainer as I would get a full refund if we went with another company. So I did.
We actually decided to go with another company and so I contacted Armishaws for a refund, to be told it would be less £30 for admin charge. After several emails with the sales manager which got more and more ridiculous, he even discussed the disciplinary action he would be taking with the estimator for not explaining that this £100 was in fact a deposit. He finally agreed to pay the £100 refund. The accounts department even returned an email saying the refund has been processed and they were waiting for the powers that be to press the button. 6 weeks later it seems pressing that button is to difficult for the powers that be.
I’m sure that this is a waiting game but it shows a complete lack of professionalism. I would seriously consider your options before using this company. Read all of their terms and conditions, look at all the hidden costs.

It began very promisingly with Chris…

It began very promisingly with Chris coming to see us to discuss the move. We were moving from a large house with a farm attached at the end of January 2025. We had done a lot of the packing ourselves but needed assistance with the larger items and the more delicate precious pieces. Armishaws came to us over three days to pack. I had packed up most of the rooms upstairs leaving everything i wanted packed in that room to keep it together. This didn't happen. We were there the whole time in case assistance was required. Armishaws delivered to us over three days to the new house. When we started unpacking we found many damaged pieces of furniture including a large gilded frame with pieces missing not even in the box. There were scratches and missing veneer on many of the mahogany pieces. They had one helpful Foreman during this time but the men working for him seemed to have little idea about packing up a house of this kind. There was a definite lack of communication between management and the men actually doing the job. This was exacerbated by Chris not coming back as we had suggested and he had promised to assess the full extent of the job and how much packing we ourselves had done.

Professional and well organised removals

Paul (in charge) and Luke were with us for the 3-day move and were fantastic. They took excellent care especially with our more precious items. They didn’t rush us and made sure everything was finished properly before they left. They made it as low-stress as possible. The whole process was very smooth and efficient from the survey, quote, booking dates all the way through. Would highly recommend Armishaws. Thank you very much to all the staff involved.

Armishaws moved us for the second time in 9 years this week and we were again so impressed by the efficiency of booking, the inventory process and the motivation of the team on the day.
Special shout out to Harry (x 2) and Rob - we had a laugh from start to finish over the two days - thank you!

Sadly things were bad from the moment…

Sadly things were bad from the moment we arrived at our new home to unpack the first lorry. The funds were delayed which I know happens quite a lot and we didn’t get the keys until 4.30pm. This was one of the Lorrie’s with a second Lorry coming after the weekend I had a phone call from
The office saying the guys were leaving at 6.00pm with whatever was left on the lorry. We are 76 and 71 years old and if it hadn’t been my for daughter and her partner joining in up and down on and off the lorry we would not have got the items unloaded. I cannot fault the guys but the stress this put on my husband and I was horrendous and in all
The years that I had experienced of moving I have never had this happen before. Because the guys stayed an extra hour (from 5.00pm to 6.00pm) we were charged an extra £180. Read the small print on the contract peeps as no one explained that to us when we booked them. I would definitely not use this company again and if you use them be AWARE you will be left in the lurch if you do t have anyone to help get your items off. I was told by the second lorry team that we should never have been allowed on the lorry because of health and safety. 😳. A very very disappointing experience though I cannot fault the guys that looked after us. The second lorry came after the bank holiday weekend and we had no problem. But please BEWARE READ THE SMALL PRINT

We're always concerned to hear when a mover feels they haven't had the best experience with our service and have looked into the exact details of events on the day.

Our records show the move was scheduled for 1pm but unfortunately didn't begin until 4:44pm. Our team worked speedily and diligently, ensuring no items were damaged whilst doing their very best to make up for lost time, to prevent you from paying extra costs and completing the entire offload in under two hours.

They finished the move at 6:08pm. While this might have appeared to be the end, the driver and crew then had to travel back to the depot, offload and clean the vehicle, in the simplest terms, we have to pay our crews for the hours they work. We always do our best to avoid levelling extra fees where possible, on this occasion the time overrun was in excess of four hours (although the crew made up as much time as they could).

We would refute your claim that this is in 'small print' as we deliberately make it very clear on our contracts and it is discussed by our surveyors to ensure movers are aware, on the rare occasions our crews can't make up for lost time.

In regards to your family members entering the vehicle, they were repeatedly told not to enter climb the ramps or enter the vehicle but continued to do so at their own risk. Our crews are never confrontational and rather than do anything to further slow the move, they verbally tried to manage the situation by warning those concerned that they were putting themselves at risk and breeching the terms of contract. Their warnings were not heeded.

We're sorry to read that despite the outstanding efforts of our teams to recover lost time for you, you feel that paying them for the extra hours they worked was in some way unfair or unwarranted.

We wish your parents every happiness in their new home,

The Armishaws Team

I have used the Wincanton branch of Armishaws a number of times for moving and storage. Each time I have found all of the Armishaws team really helpful and proactive with any questions and requests I have.

Excellent Service

Arranged my removal at fairly short notice with Armishaws. Ruth at head office was extremely helpful in sorting out the collection and delivery arrangements. Our uplift was on 1/5/25. The crew, Artur and 3 colleagues, turned up right on schedule just after 8am. They worked tirelessly and methodically to empty the contents of the house without any damage or accidents. They were all very professional and polite.
The contents were delivered the following day to the new address. The driver was again Artur, this time with one colleague Sam. It felt as though there should have been a third person given the quantity of goods, but undaunted the two chaps worked solidly on what was a very hot day to safely deliver our contents. Admiration and respect to both Artur and Sam who were a credit to Armishaws. No hesitation in recommending Armishaws and would certainly use again if I was crazy enough to move house again. Best wishes to all concerned.

Hi 'Shoobee',

Thank you for your kind review. In respect to being 'crazy' enough to relocate, the old adage seems fitting 'You don't have to be mad to move home, but it helps'.
We're delighted it all went well even in the heat, although on moving day that's certainly better than rain. We hope the unpacking has gone just as well and wish you every happiness in your new home.
