The team are great. Very helpful and efficient. Took extra care to wrap delicate items and ensure they are safe. Great friendly service and diligent work practice. I would recommend Bournes as this is the easiest move I’ve made by far.

Excellent experience.
Office staff very helpful and our moving team were more than helpful and made us feel at ease during the normal stress of moving.
Well done Bournes, highly recomended.

Julia in the office was excellent from start to finish…her tolerance and patience of my not infrequent phone calls was admirable! We had a couple of weeks between moving out of our old home and into the new one, so to have Scott on both legs was really helpful. No damage to either property and all our worldly goods intact. Extremely grateful to Bournes and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Bournes are a very professional company who handled our move expertly. I was particularly grateful that they could reserve our move date before we had exchanged contracts, after another local company let us down badly on this aspect.

I found the service from Bournes to be fantastic, and took a whole lot of worry about my recent move away.
The packing service was perfect (no damage/breakages), and the team doing my move were very respectful and careful of property, doorframes etc.
I would definitely recommend them, and would not hesitate to use them again - kudos to the entire team!

Best moving company!
Highly recommend Bournes if you are moving house. They were professional from the very start. Every associate we interacted with were kind and professional. The team who helped us on moving day were beyond brilliant! So efficient, professional and ensured our belongings were kept safe and secure. Despite working a very long 12 hour day they remained in high spirits. We couldnt of moved house without them. Thank you so much again!

We have just moved to Europe. Cristina was great always keeping us updated and making sure that all paperwork was done correctly. The team worked really well packing our goods, they were really helpful both in the UK as well as in Germany. We have used them 3 times already highly recommend them....Bournes all the way

Absolutely, from start to finish, all staff were so pleasnat, respectful and helpful. They work so hard and not one complaint even when we asked for furniture to be moved to another room when we knew it wasn't right.
We have used Bournes for our long distance move and our 91 year old mother in the past 7 months. Both moves perfect. They looked after my precious piano without a hitch. Fantastic.

Brilliant moving company. Pat, Steve and Tommy were all amazing and couldn’t have been more accommodating especially as our move was during the pouring rain.

Dan, Evan and Abel did a great job with our move, and Julia was an excellent point of contact both before and after. Highly recommend Bournes for your move.

I found them straightforward to deal with and the price quoted was clear and competitive. On the day of the move the Team turned up on time and the house was cleared quickly. The move into our new property was equally smooth. The team were polite and helpful. A few days after the move they came back to the new property promptly at my request to collect a very large number of boxes and packaging for reycling. All in all an excellent and professional service and I would be happy to use them again and to recommend them.

Bournes Removals provided a very efficient service. From booking the moving date to arrival at our destination, we were very well looked after. The office staff and removals team were extremely supportive and made sure that everything ran smoothly.
We would be very happy to recommend them.

Rude and aggressive!
Bourne removals van blocking a road today, just a short manoeuvre would have allowed traffic through, but obviously this was too much trouble, one of the employees was rude, threatening and aggressive when asked to allow access.
Excellent work with the name of the employer on the front of the truck!

The team at Bournes were fantastic from our initial assessment and information session right through to the day of our move. Emily managed the move brilliantly and was at the end of the phone to answer any questions and make the changes that we needed. We had the excellent full packing service the day before, which was a massive help for us, and we had a totally smooth move without any breakages or damage
thanks to the great crew. Thank you!

They didn’t wrap some precious items (irreplaceable pictures just floating around in the back of their van so glass broken and custom frames damaged). The only reason they are getting 2 stars is their customer service lady was very kind and the packing service was actually useful (just a shame they didn’t think my newly framed pictures - yes they were told this - were of value or needed protecting).
I also watched as they pulled the top off a chest of drawers because they wanted to carry the whole thing down the stairs (in spite of the drawers being empty and easily removed which would have made this much easier to manoeuvre)
We were told there was insurance up to £50 per item, however when I mentioned this (after finding another damaged picture) I was told that as we hadn’t paid extra for insurance we couldn’t make a claim. Please note the items were precious and irreplaceable to US. They weren’t great works of art or valuable trinkets - they were personal and no amount of money could replace.
In all I was really disappointed and I’m still very angry. They just didn’t take any care with our things. Items stacked against other items that could cause damage. A lot of our items will be in boxes for a long time due to refurbishments and I dread to think what I’ll find down the line

Reply from Bournes Moves - Removals, Storage & Shipping
The team at Bournes was professional, responsive, and adaptable to our needs. Our items were moved from the UK to the US without any issues, and the cost was very reasonable.

Moving is never a particularly pleasant event in itself but Bournes have been exceptional in their customer care. I was surprised to see the company be so professional at every stage of the process: Booking a survey, getting a quote, making the payment, and the move itself were all done professionally and you could trust that on the day, your move will be in good hands.
Emily was an absolute standout!
