West Country Movers Reviews 280

I would highly recommend. This is the second occasion and just like the first, they didn’t disappoint. Nothing is too much trouble. Super quick, efficient and extremely careful and considerate from start to finish. A fantastic friendly team. If we move again, I know who I am going to call! Thank you so so much for making a stressful situation so much easier, and almost fun!! :)

From the beginning of our move all the staff in the office were very friendly and efficient. On the day of the move the 2 removal guys were friendly, respectful of our property and very efficient.

Great customer service. Great fast and efficient delivery of my goods, care for my items.

These guys handled the emptying of my home and delivery of all my furniture and boxes to their safe storage facility. Nine months later they delivered all my goods from storage, safely to my new home.

Everything arrived dry and undamaged, even my beloved piano, and the staff could not have been more helpful. They put down mats to protect the floors from ‘outside footwear’ and every piece was moved with the greatest care. They maintained a friendly professionalism throughout the process and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Highly recommended.

The team at West Country Movers were so helpful and accommodating, packing us up and moving us quickly and efficiently despite the bank holiday heatwave. Everyone was cheerful and kind, offered smart suggestions, and handled my increasing panic with calmness! Dylan, Jordan and Martin did an absolutely splendid job; all three of them were professional, efficient and delightful chaps. The two ladies who turned up to help unload also worked extremely hard and were equally delightful. Although I hope never to move again(!), I will recommend you to everyone I know who is moving. Worth every penny. Thank you.

I had an excellent packing service from Sophie and moving from Aaron and Chris this week including the dismantling and reassembly of several bits of furniture. Friendly, on time, super professional and efficient. Very competitively priced. Would recommend and use again (though hopefully I'm not moving again anytime soon)!

This is the second time that we have used their services for packing and moving home....this alone speaks for itself.
This was a stressful time for us, we are both pensioners, so the packing service was of great benefit to us. Matt came in the day before removal and boxed everything up.
The team arrived at 8.00 the following morning and just got on with it. They were friendly, efficient and worked with tailored precision. This efficiency was mirrored at our new home. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
If you need a good reputable company, with good old fashion values and good pricing to boot, look no further because this is the company that gives you just that

Ok where do I start? I have moved a lot, a lot, overseas and back to the Uk 3 times not to mention inter country left and right and these guys, this company, is, by far, the best experience I’ve ever had.
From switching like 5 times cos of house purchase delays and nothing being a problem no matter how many times I chopped and changed through no fault of my own, it was always ok!
Hands down recommend this friendly and totally competent family run company. The guys were funny, friendly, totally “on it”.
Excellent, shame I couldn’t give them 10 ⭐️

We recently used WCM for our move within Somerset, it included approximately 8 weeks storage. We chose WCM following visits from three companies; Sophie and Ricky came across as professional and competent from the outset and this proved the case. The packing / unpacking teams were on time, hard working, quick, conscientious and happy in their work. The storage provided between Dec and Feb, included large planted garden urns and pots, all of which are now thriving. The only damage was to an antique low boy / chest on stand, but this was expertly repaired by a professional craftsman and without question. I have no hesitation in recommending WCM.

Shocking experience, so many items of furniture damaged its ridiculous, after moving in the house and unpacking boxes we kept finding more breakages, so far a £1000 cabinet has a massive chunk out of the bottom, a sofa arm is ruined, the TV has a crack down the back of the plastic, we had wardrobes damaged when re assembled, the list goes on and on, when we called them and shared photos of the damages they said we were past the 7 day window ( PS by 1 day!!!) so it was no longer there issue. stay well clear......

We used West Country Movers for our recent move from one end of the country to the other and they couldn't have been more helpful. They were quick and clear with their communications. Matt and Perrin were our movers on the day and they were brilliant! Polite, professional and friendly, they worked quickly and handled everything with care. On the other side they asked where we wanted everything and reassembled/plumbed in appliances and furniture. Highly recommend them.

Had a pretty large house move that required moving, dismantle/reassembly, de-plumb and re-plumb services. West Country Movers were great! We had 3 guys with a van each, they were friendly and efficient and generally had great vibes. They handled everything with care and were extremely self-sufficient and placed everything in the correct rooms on arrival. Would recommend!

Would highly recommend. The 3 lads that arrived nice and early on my moving day were great! They worked really hard and were a pleasure to have around on what can be a very stressful day. They handled everything in my home with care and I enjoyed their cheeky banter which lightened the pressures of moving. They took furniture apart and reassembled at my new property and nothing seemed to much trouble. Would definitely use again if I ever decide to move! Thanks West Country movers job well done 👏

What an excellent company, I would happily recommend to anyone. Courteous, efficient and from the quotation visit through to the three day move there was a continuity in their communications. Over the three days, packing, loading and transferring to new home there was always at least one team member from the previous day ensuring a great mix of skills to provide the service they offer. Their quote was thorough and very reasonable in comparison to other companies and over the three days nothing was too much trouble or inconvenience. Wish they had been in the areas I have previously ministered in ~ as clergy we move more than some and this was certainly the best ever experiencce ~ Thank you.

Sophie came straight out to assess what we had to move on two different dates which gave us the confidence in the company to make the booking. I was first to move, to Northumberland, and travelled with Dillan and Matt. They were super efficient with the loading/unloading and great company on the journey. Many thanks, lads, what could have been quite stressful became an enjoyable experience.

We used this company a couple of years ago and found them ok, so approached them to do the same job in reverse, with the same amount of stuff, from London to Devon. Big mistake as it turns out.

They said they'd arrive at 11am. In fact they arrived 2.5 hours late, having slipped another job in before ours. That had knock-on consequences.

Then they refused to take everything in the van, despite the fact that they had moved the same contents 2 years before. Bafflingly, there was quite a lot of empty space left in the van. We were told there was a weight limit. It's doubtful our stuff exceeded it, but even if it had, there hadn't seemed to be that limit in operation two years previously when they had filled the van quite happily. What this meant was that quite a lot of stuff was left in London and we had to drive back up and back to retrieve the items that they did not take. There was also a sofa and fridge (which had been in the original shipment they moved) which we couldn't fit in the car and will now be consigned to the tip. We must take some responsibility for this muddle (though by no means all of it) because as well as telling them we'd used them before and wanted exactly the same things moving, and that it had all fitted into a Luton van, we also gave them a non-definitive list and it was this list they stuck to religiously, refusing to move what was not on it, with a lot of tooth sucking.

Because they were late arriving and because they got stuck in traffic, though we did not even though we drove the same journey, it became clear they were going to arrive after dark. Because there is no light in the shipping container they were offloading into, we asked them to delay unloading until the morning but they would not. They did not arrive until 10pm. They loaded things into the van in a totally disorganised and haphazard way, so that now we are left with the prospect of having to take everything out and re-load it again. They left an unprotected mattress on the floor of the container.

All in all, it was a stressful and poor service that left us with a lot of work to do ourselves. We've had a lot of removals over the years and this was almost the worst, coming in at second place after an experience in which an antique chair went missing which was later discovered, badly damaged and being used, in the remover's office. Needless to say, we won't be using West Country Movers again.

My experience started well with the sales process, but everything went downhill from there. I paid for both packing and moving, and unfortunately the packing was done with a lack of care that caused avoidable damage to several of my belongings.
The packers stacked saucers with nothing between them, placed a rare 1940s Bakelite phone into a box with no protection at all, and broke the lid of an antique coffee pot—without informing me at the time. Several other items, including old martini glasses, were also chipped or broken.
None of the boxes were properly labelled. Most were simply marked “lounge,” which meant that when I arrived at the new property, I had numerous boxes with no idea what was inside any of them.
Unpacking was chaotic, as if it were a race to finish as quickly as possible. At one point, Matt brought my garden rugs into the house and, when I explained they should go in the garden, he said he didn’t realise what they were—despite the fact that they were the ones who packed them, one item were even placed in my next‑door neighbour’s garden.
The team were clearly rushing to get the job done, which meant that I was having to go behind them to move things they had left in the wrong place. This added to the stress, especially as I was moving on my own.
To their credit, Kev was very helpful when they had difficulty getting my mattress up the stairs, and they did eventually resolve that issue—but ultimately this is what you expect from a paid service.
Aftersales initially said they would use my feedback for training purposes, and they sent me a link to replace the broken coffee pot lid, but the link didn’t work and now they are no longer responding to my emails. I suspect they may say I took too long to sort everything out, but moving alone has been extremely difficult and overwhelming.
Everything in this review is true to my experience: I feel that my belongings were treated carelessly, and while some items may not have been expensive, they were collected over many years and are value to me.

Can't recommend highly enough. We decided to move at very short notice. From first contact to the end of the move West Country Movers were superb. They came out and quoted, dropped tonnes of boxes off when agreed and on the day of the move they couldn't have been more efficient or friendly. The move, even in rather poor weather, was handled professionally and with good humour and we were in our new house, and mostly unpacked, by dinner time. We have moved many times in the past and this was far and away the best experience to date. Book with them, you wont' regret it.

What a great moving experience! WCM were helpful and super efficient from start to finish. The team, on the day, Jordan, Jake and Chris were great and made the whole thing straightforward, taking down and rebuilding furniture, and plumbing in washing machine. It was especially helpful having an all inclusive price with no hidden extras. I highly recommend this company.

The quoting and admin process was professional and prompt and the removal team were friendly and efficient. A great experience
