Services
Our house removal service is planned carefully to ensure your belongings are handled properly. Larger moves include a detailed home survey covering access, volume and specialist items, while straightforward jobs are discussed in full beforehand. We use trained staff and purpose-built vehicles, with packing, dismantling, reassembly and secure storage provided when needed. 
We provide packing solutions designed around the needs of every move, whether you require your entire home packed or assistance with a single fragile item. Our trained team uses suitable professional materials and specialist techniques where necessary. Fragile belongings receive careful wrapping and additional protection, while wardrobe cartons keep hanging clothing crease-free. 
Our storage service offers a managed alternative to conventional self-storage, with belongings kept securely within our own warehouse. Whether storage is needed alongside a move or independently, we accommodate household furniture, personal possessions, business stock, and larger or delicate items. Flexible arrangements are available for several weeks or months, with our team managing collection, storage, and delivery. Business Relocation
Report
Every office relocation we undertake starts with a proper consultation rather than assumptions or generic arrangements. We prepare a comprehensive moving plan following a full office survey, then use colour-coded packing to ensure belongings are directed to their intended locations. Our dedicated move manager oversees the relocation, while furniture and equipment are placed precisely as planned at the new premises.

I recently booked the essential package with end of tenancy cleaning from Martin and Martin Removals, and Im genuinely pleased with the service provided. The whole move was organised very smoothly, and the team took great care while transporting my furniture and personal items.
What impressed me most was how responsive and dedicated the staff were throughout the process. They worked efficiently, handled everything with attention, and made the moving day far less tiring than I expected. The cleaning service was also completed to a high standard, leaving the property fresh and well presented.
Their rates were budget-friendly, and the overall experience felt secure, convenient, and professionally managed. I would confidently suggest Martin and Martin Removals to anyone searching for dependable moving services.

I was very emotional in leaving my place but with the guys that their hummer made the second most stressful event in my life more bearable.
I didn't shed a tear when i left and direct moves made it worthwhile in clearing out the place I had many happy memories. Can't say I'm sad because of other influences but thanks direct moves for yr help.
Great family firm that everyone needs to support who lives in Sawbridgeworth and Bishop's Stortford more.
