We used Turton Removals at short notice to move our belongings from a 3 bedroom house in Heaton. The lads were professional and nothing was too much trouble. All items were fully protected with purpose made bags and padding. Flooring coverings and door protectors were used at both sides of the move to prevent damage to floors, carpets and doors at both ends of the move. I cannot thank Ben and his team enough for making our moving experience as stress free as possible. Thanks!

I used this company to move into storage and then into a new property. I would strongly recommend them: very responsive to enquiries, good at communicating timings, good value for money, and thoroughly professional.

We booked Turtons for a move in November this year and I was really impressed with their service. In terms of booking them it was really easy to get a quote and they offered a reasonable price. I found Ben really helpful in the run up, he was really responsive and happy to answer questions about packing and the process. On the day, they arrived promptly and were careful, polite and efficient. It made the move much less stressful and I wonder why we've ever tried to move by ourselves in the past!

Turton's moved us from Seahouses to Thurso in September 2022. They were absolutely magnificent; professional, efficient and calm throughout. This was despite a major road hold-up on the road north. Nothing was damaged and we can contrast their performance with that of our new internet providers, who took almost two months to get our service running-hence the lateness of this review! Ben & Bobby, we cannot thank you enough. Our kind regards & all the best for the future. You deserve every success. Alan & Isobel Blanchard

We moved house with Turton's recently. They were very understanding on changing timescales, and last minute contract exchanges. They also were able to support us during a delay in the move itself, which was very much a relief! Ben and Robbie provided two trucks and even showed us how they organised our possessions to keep them safe. They were very thorough - more so than we expected. Very professional too, but didn't let that get in the way of a good laugh! I couldn't recommend them enough really, and I'm happy that we could add another positive experience to their reviews. Thank you again!

Excellent house move from Ben and team. Hired to perform a 532 mile round trip at great value. They organised a time the night before to start moving items and furniture into the van so that we could leave as early as possible the next day as I had a deadline to pick up the keys for the new apartment. They covered and protected the sofa and mattress and safely moved them out and into both properties and handled all items with care. Ultimately, they are highly recommend and well reviewed for a reason.

An excellent and professional service. Ben and the team made everything easy from getting a quote at the start to reassembling our furniture at the end. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a removals service.

We booked Turton's removal for our house move - everything was made easy from booking to the moving day itself. My husband and I were so impressed - they looked after my old house and new house and ensured my things were handled well. They took a lot of the stress away. They even didn't mind me getting emotional! Would definitely recommend and would use again if we were to move in the future.

We would recommend Turtons to anyone moving home. Ben and the lads were really professional and efficient not to mention very friendly. From wrapping doors and covering floors to ensuring all of our things were properly protected, they made our move stress free.

Many thanks for the professional and friendly service provided to us. Our move wasn't the easiest - with difficult access to our new property - but issues were overcome professionally and calmly and the end result was that the move was completed on time and to a high standard.

They have to be the nicest and most professional team of movers I have come across. We will definitely be using them again. We needed a rather large piano moved from passageway to dining room via the garage, 400lb in weight. They moved it with ease. Taking time to ensure it was protected. Absolutely first class.

Ben and his team were awesome managing our house move. We opted for full packing service including dissemble and reassemble options. They worked so hard across two days firstly packing up our household items and, today, finalising the packing up and then managing the unloading and assembling. We were really impressed with their very friendly attitude, professionalism and work ethic. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble and they took fantastic care of all of our items - everything packed carefully and diligently.

I have not hesitation in recommending Turtons Removals and Storage. I ended up storing my furniture with Turtons for a few weeks as I was in between properties. Throughout the whole process Ben was very professional. On both occasions ie removal and delivery from storage to my new property, Ben and his team were professional, helpful and also had a good sense of humour, which took the stress out of both days. Thanks Ben and your Team

Highly recommend Ben and his team. Friendly and professional service. We had a very challenging move, and Ben and his team went over and above to help us. Extremely professional in their manner, and they took excellent care of our belongings (wrapped) and of both properties (flooring etc protected). Genuinely friendly and helpful, and seemed very experienced at what they do. Quality service, cannot recommend enough.

I booked Turtons removals after having a thorough virtual tour with them. The initial appointment left me full of confidence due to the sheer professionalism shown. I am glad to say I was not disappointed. On the day of the move the team were superb. Nothing was too much for them, my furniture was very well protected, as was the flooring. I would highly recommend them without hesitation.

Ben and his team went out of their way to make the move run as smoothly as possible for us. They were extremely polite and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. They helped me to get sorted at the new house, even making an extra journey to bring across all my plant pots which I had thought I would be able to move myself.

We received a great service from these guys today, streets ahead of other sometimes cheaper firms that we spoke to however you get what you pay for, they had all the gear to protect our belongings and property. Really detailed service from the first call right until they cleared away once finished. Also really friendly lads, good crack and made the day go really smoothly would recommend to anyone.
