The small removal co were absolutely brilliant to deal with and we couldn't have asked for more. Of all the people we dealt with moving house they were one of the best, unfailingly helpful when getting everything arranged and even better on the actual move.

Excellent service from The Small Removal Co who removed some furniture while we had new carpets fitted. They were unfazed when the carpet fitters hadn't started by 530pm, and kept the furniture over the weekend, returning it on Monday

From start to finish, Richard, Roy, Michael and Brendan have been fantastic! From Richard coming to give us a quote to any queries we had with Roy in the office they were friendly, professional and responsive. The pack up and loading of the van went smoothly. Michael and Brendan arrived in Norwich in good spirits despite the rain. Everything arrived at our new home in the same order it left our home in St Albans. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. We would recommend this company 110%! Thanks so much guys. Ann & Jacques
