Report
Broughton Removals made a stressful move incredibly easy. From the start, they were responsive and very detailed in their planning and in supplying packing materials. During the move, our movers had to deal with a broken down van on a bank holiday weekend. These things happen, and they're outside of anyone's control, yet they handled the emergency like true professionals, sending a replacement van across the country while keeping us informed and delivering our things in good time. They were all friendly and attentive folks who were in high spirits throughout. Can't recommend them enough

Report
The people at Broughton Removals couldn't have been more helpful and attentive, from the people in the office to the actual removals team themselves. They help to reduce the stress out of the whole relocation process and have remained patient and professional throughout, despite my numerous calls (it was my first big move and I was nervous!). I cannot recommend this cheerful, family-run team enough, from Andrew Walker, Dave, Crystal, Kris Munro, indeed everybody. It's rare that you come across a company like this that actually cares about its customers! Bravo and superb work! Thanks Broughton!

Chose Broughton's on a friend's recommendation. It was a very smooth and professional process from arranging a visit for a quote to the actual removal. The team were superb, especially managing a very large van into a narrow cul de sac. Dave and Jack were amazing. Friendly, very careful with the furniture, full of positive energy despite our move being from top floor to top floor and a 400 mile journey. Highly recommended!

Broughton are an excellent company to go with if planning a move. They offer a home visit to give you an accurate and tailored quote. On the day, you can opt to pack yourself or they can do this. They are also able to provide packing materials within your cost quoted. In the day, the team for my move were prompt abd had my while flat contents loaded up, moved from Edinburgh to Glasgow and unloaded in 2.5 hours. All of the team are incredibly professional and absolutely lovely. Would 100% recommend
