Hired Patchett's for the second time Friday the 6th of May to take care of our property when making our latest move. Once again the service was excellent and they provided me with a very competitive price. Patchett's are a local family run business and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism. Every member of the team from the boss Gavin to the office staff and the removal team were courteous and extremely helpful and I send them all a big thank you. I'm not intending a 6th move now I'm settled but if I were to I would only consider one company and that is Patchett's, thank you very much.

We have used Patchett's in our last 3 house moves and they have been fantastic every time. Nothing is too much trouble and they keep you well stocked with boxes and supplies. I wouldn't look anywhere else.

A huge thank you to Patchetts Removals, we had a complex move and these guys took care of everything, all our furniture and chattels were placed in their storage for 4 months and not 1 item was damaged! The guys were friendly and beyond helpful. Thank you so much!

My experience with pachetts was very poor in deed. From the very start i found them to be very hard to contact they seemed very unconcerned about belongings of mine that did not turn up on my move to spain. Although they clearly are on my itinary list I have called them many times they anever get back to you. I find pachetts to be very uncaring with peoples personal belongings. and in my opinion i would strongly recomend you th8nk again before chosing pachetts to take care of your removals.do not trust this company
