Great pity - I wanted to use Nelsons for my house move in Durham City, but they failed to provide a quote despite being hastened three times - then rang my wife to ask if they'd sent her a quote - which we still haven't received three months later. Their admin seems a bit chaotic. Judging by other reviews, they'll provide you a good service if they remember you want them to provide it. We opted to go with one of their competitors who were more responsive and professional.

Best service I have experienced with a moving company so far. From booking to completion, staff were friendly and helpful. Especially Clayton and Sam were an outstanding team on the day of my move. Nothing was too much trouble, they were extremely polite, hardworking, friendly, careful and went out of their way to have all my belongings safely arrive in my new home. I can highly recommend Nelsons and certainly would use them again. Thank you - you made a stressful time more manageable for me.

Nelsons have recently carried out our office move. Fantastic service, value for money and the lads were a great team, they took a lot of the stress out of moving an office, nothing seemed a bother and they made it look easy! We would highly recommend. From all of the team at Dere Street Homes. Thank you.

Moved us out, stored our stuff and moved us in. Excellent service, very reasonable prices, the lads were really good and couldn't do enough. Thanks again.

This is the only company I would ever use to move! They moved me back in October and the two lads were fab! Nothing was too much trouble. Nothing damaged, on time, fantastic service and amazing value! Then today I needed two heavy sofas moving from my garage to the living room - no problem! Two lads came and again nothing was too much trouble. Thank you and I would and will highly recommend you! Merry Christmas

Critical: Professionalism Rude receptionist. My enquiry felt like an inconvenience to her. Very abrupt manner - no pleasantries or politeness at all! Will happily take my business elsewhere.

Bought 3 seater sofa from a well known shop. They don't actually deliver so they gave me Nelsons of Durham phone number which I rang when I came out of the shop. I only live 6 miles from shop & I'd only been home 15 minutes & there were the guys with my couch! I was probably lucky with timing 2 guys were very friendly & very professionally efficient. Job done! Thanks Nelsons can't thank you enough.
