The team were so helpful and this is our second time using them as they really take the stress out of moving! They're very careful with any valuables you have aswell as both properties and make as little mess as possible! They're on time and get the job done quickly I was so impressed how they managed to pack and unpack everything seeing as we seemed to have a lot of stuff! John also managed to manoeuvre our new tricky doorway and got our sofas into the new house when I didnt think it was possible! All round great service and I highly recommend John Stanley Removals!

I had only used man and van type services for local moves previously (and not with the best experiences) so with us moving further afield I wanted to find a reputable firm. John Stanley Removals were very well reviewed so I requested a quotation which was received promptly and was priced reasonably and all terms clear. On the day, the team arrived on time and were polite, professional and friendly. They were hard grafters while clearly taking excellent care of our belongings. John is very easy going and a calm influence on what can be a fraught day! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

We were let down last minute before our move to Wales and John Stanley came in a saved the day. they were professional and very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. They turned up exactly as stated and were very clean and tidy. They moved us in over a 3 day period and were very accommodating to our needs. They were very polite and courteous and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

These guys were amazing with our move from Berkshire to the West Midlands. They packed everything for us and loaded the van on day 1 and were waiting at our new property on day 2 ready to unload. At all times they were so polite and courteous - we couldn't have asked for anything more from them and all for a very reasonable price.

I used John Stanley Removals having seen one of their vans locally. The service was at all times prompt, courteous, and professional. At a stressful time such as moving day, you need quiet hardworking professionals such as John Stanley and his team who were fantastic. They worked extremely hard, were very careful with my things, and were cheerful, helpful and very polite throughout. Having moved several times in the last ten years, I can say JSR were easily the best removals company I have ever used. The quotation was very competitive and I couldn't be happier with the service. Five stars easily earned.
