Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend. Thanks to the team.

The team were amazing from beginning to end. Able to accommodate a relatively late booking, arrived very promptly on the day and said ‘you can sit back and relax and we’ll sort this’. Great communication and friendly team on the day, nothing lost or broken, and all competitively priced. Can’t recommend highly enough! Thanks to the team for making - what could have been a very stressful day - a breeze.

Clockwork packed my goods and then stored them for 3 years. I was worried about the condition they might be in when I finally collected them. My goods were in exactly the same conditon they were in when Clockwork packed them.

We’ve worked with Clockworks Storage for two years now and use them for removals as well as year‑round storage of our stock. They’ve been consistently excellent throughout.
The team are a real pleasure to deal with friendly, reliable, and incredibly easy to organise with. Communication is clear, tasks are handled efficiently, and everything is completed exactly as agreed, which makes a huge difference when coordinating moves and managing ongoing storage.

I get no reply from them by email they…

I get no reply from them by email they only respond to these reviews ….. 2 weeks now have passed and nothing so I am writing as a matter of urgency.

I understand that the auction of my goods is proceeding today. I can see that some items that were placed into Clockwork’s custody are now appearing in the auction listings.

However, despite repeated written requests, I still have not been provided with:

a full itemised list of all goods transferred to the auctioneer,

a reconciliation showing which items were taken to auction and which remain in Clockwork’s custody, or

an explanation for the numerous identifiable items that remain missing from all valuation and auction documentation.

This is not a minor administrative issue. Clockwork, as bailee, is under a clear duty to properly account for goods entrusted into paid storage, particularly when exercising a lien and power of sale.
To be absolutely clear:

I am not disputing Clockwork’s contractual right to sell goods following non-payment.

I am disputing the fact that the auction is proceeding without full transparency, without a complete inventory, and with significant quantities of property unaccounted for.

At this point:

I can see some of my items listed for sale,

I cannot see many other high-value household and personal items that were placed into storage, and

I have no documentation confirming whether those items were ever transferred to the auctioneer, retained by Clockwork, or otherwise removed from custody.

Proceeding with the auction today without first resolving these discrepancies is inappropriate and risks causing irreversible loss before proper accounting has taken place.

I therefore formally require, without further delay:

Immediate written confirmation of all items transferred to the auctioneer, including lot numbers and estimated values.

Written confirmation of all items remaining in Clockwork’s custody.

A clear explanation for any items that do not appear in either category.

This email is sent to ensure there is a clear written record that Clockwork has been placed on notice of unresolved accounting failures before the auction concludes.

I expect an urgent response today.

Disappointing service from Clockwork…

Disappointing service from Clockwork when moving from larger home to smaller home out of town. Really disappointed. They were not the cheapest quote. The removals chaps were helpful and very polite but a number of things would lead me to not recommending Clockwork. Broken/dead house plants, TV broken, chair had been stood on and seat broken. All clothes were placed in boxes with no hanging rails so all our clothes extremely crumpled. There was no clear marking on boxes e.g. everyone used a different naming system - boxes named with room they came from, or room they were going into or just made up e.g. sewing room! This is not the team's fault, more lack of training. We paid for 2 sets of insurance packing damage and damage in transit the cover is very poor - e.g. price of a second hand TV suggested payout (probably cost the insurance company more to look for the cheapest TV they could find than they paid us). Also be very careful about move in times, we were delayed due to solicitors which cost us an additional £500 best to err on side of caution and agree later afternoon time so you don't have an additional bill.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that parts of your moving experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you acknowledging the professionalism and politeness of our removals team on the day.
We’re sorry that your television was damaged during the move. This was reported to our insurers and settled in line with the policy terms, which are new-for-old. We’re pleased this was accepted, though we appreciate it may not have felt satisfactory given the inconvenience caused. No other damaged items were raised with us at the time or included in the claim, so we were not aware of any further concerns. The cover provided is as outlined at booking. We’re always happy to discuss cover in more detail beforehand to ensure it meets a client’s expectations.
Delays in key release are unfortunately outside our control. As outlined during the booking process, waiting time charges apply where a waiting time waiver is not taken.
We’re sorry that overall you felt disappointed, as we do strive to provide a high level of service and flexibility. Your feedback is valued and will be used to help us improve going forward. We wish you all the best in your new home.

Excellent job

Guys turned up promptly. Were excellent in getting everything packed away on van and were so good with getting all the bits and pieces which we hadn't manage to get away. Also at other end all boxes/packing boxes were put away and job finished promptly. Absolutely great job. Would definitely recommend.

Office move

We had an office move to do at very short notice. Quote received within 24 hrs of site visit and crates delivered within the week. On the day itself there were plenty of bodies to help out and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Polite and helpful, making it as stress free and smooth as possible. Unloaded promptly and systematically at our new premises.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to provide excellent experiences for all our customers so it’s disappointing to learn that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. The duration of the move was longer than originally estimated due to several factors on the day including a long wait for keys. Despite the difficulties, the crew worked hard to complete the job. If you’d like to discuss any of this further, we’re here to help.

A smooth and easy move handled professionally

On the moving day the guys turned up on time and were very polite and helpful. I was worried as it was pouring with rain, but they put big rubber mats down and were careful not to get the carpets dirty. They took the king-size bed apart and reassembled it for us. Moving things to where we wanted them was no trouble to them. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I felt there could have been a bit more communication from the office, ie a text or email the night before to confirm, and check everything was ready. They obviously move people all the time but I hadn't heard anything from them since I booked a couple of weeks earlier and was nervous. There was also no follow-up afterwards. Overall though I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Thank you so much for your review and for choosing us for your move! We’re really pleased to hear that our team made the day smooth, professional, and stress-free, especially with the rainy weather.

We appreciate your comments regarding communication. Our process is designed to run smoothly once a move is booked, so we typically only need to follow up afterwards if there’s a problem. That said, your suggestion and feedback is helpful to us.

Thank you once again for the review.

Professional, respectful, efficient & incredibly friendly

Every step of the way, the team at Clockwork were there to support and support with the best attitude & energy.

After making an online enquiry, Wayne took the time and effort to come & view my property in person. The appointment wasn’t rushed, it was professional, detailed and an excellent start to the experience.

Crystal in the office was a star! Super friendly, reassuring and so helpful, a true professional and delight to correspond with, nothing was an issue.

The team on the team, absolutely fantastic. Dean, William, Harry & Gibby arrived with the best energy. Immediately introducing themselves, big smiles and warm handshakes. They made the entire experience lots of fun, they were super careful, very respectful and efficient with the move, again, nothing was a problem.

Even with big delays on the day (due to key exchange) the high energy, smiles and patience remained.

The entire team really made a potential stressful day, an excellent experience.

Excellent service

Have used Clockwork removals twice in the last 2 yrs and both times they have been very professional and competitive on price. They came and assessed the job to be done and quoted within a couple of days and the crew that actually did the removals were extremely courteous and helpful and did a perfect job.. would definitely recommend them and would certainly use them again although hopefully it will be a bit longer this time..!!
