Report
King and Kearey did a great job helping me move. I was very impressed with how fast and capable they were. They were able to dismantle and reassemble some large furniture which I had been very worried about. Their quote was also significantly lower than some of the other moving companies I asked in Exeter.

I've used this company several times over the years to move me. Moving is a very stressful process. However I have always found King and Keary extremely polite, helpful, and Professional to deal with. Would recommend

Critical: Responsiveness Called this company in the middle of June to ask for a quote. Gave my name and phone number, where we moving to and from and was rather abruptly told by a female that someone would ring me back. To this day I have heard nothing and we are now into July.

King & Kearey moved us for a second time and once again did a fantastic very professional job. Mark, Michael and Alex were extremely friendly and worked very hard and efficiently. We have already recommended them to our friends. Anyone seeking a reliable removal company at reasonable cost need look no further than K & K.
