We offer flexible scheduling with same-day and multi-day options, including specialist piano moving and white goods handling. All moves include protective wrapping and secure vehicle transportation.
Business Moves
We specialise in minimising business disruption during office relocations. Our team handles IT equipment protection, departmental labelling, cable management, and heavy item transportation including photocopiers and filing cabinets. With experience in commercial environments, we coordinate moves during off-hours and provide secure storage solutions for phased relocations across south Oxfordshire and beyond.
Storage Solutions
Our on-site storage facilities offer short- and long-term solutions with comprehensive security measures. Double-locked containers protect belongings during transit periods, with full insurance coverage included. Items receive the same protective wrapping as during transportation, ensuring safekeeping of both household goods and business assets in climate-controlled environments.

We provide expert packing using purpose-designed materials including double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, and linen bags. Our staff follow systematic packing protocols for fragile items like crockery and glassware, with clear labelling systems for easy unpacking.

Our movers on the day were very good. They got stuck in and did an awful lot in a short time. Friendly and professional so all in all a great job!

Report
We had our home packed and stored by Paul Simmonds, originally planned for a month but turned into six months. When we finally got our stuff back it was all in good condition and placed into the required rooms. Very happy with all the staff and Chris for helping us with our move. I would definitely recommend using them.

Chris and the team were fantastic and looked after us over the move. They entirely packed, moved and then unpacked us over two days! I can't thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a full pack and move service.

Report
I highly recommend Paul Simmonds Removals, the team are friendly and professional. From the quote meeting all the way through to the move itself - which involved a really tricky 'sofa though too narrow door' scenario (I can only assume they got the sofa through that doorway using magic powers). I used their packing service, which was a new experience for me, I don't think I'll go back to packing for myself again! 10/10
