      The second stage of our removal was moving our items from storage to Somerset.

      This again went very smoothly, I was kept up to date with traffic causing delays in arriving. When Mick and James arrived they worked very hard and efficiently whilst been helpful, polite and considerate.

      Another 5 star experience, I would definitely recommend this company.

      Move to Castle Carrock

      On the first day two extremely helpful and professional employees carried and safely loaded a full large truck. During the time with us they carried out there work in a courteous, pleasant and very efficient manner. On the second day two more employees arrived to remove all of our outdoor furniture in just the same manner as the previous day. Upon our arrival at our new property five employees were unloading all of our furniture in a very efficient manner. Nothing was damaged during this whole process,and I have no hesitation in recommending them to families looking for a professional storage and removal company.

      Smooth move.

      We opted to pack ourselves, the assessor was accurate with boxes required and they were delivered when requested as we were working to a tight moving date. The boxes are marked with room details and asks you to identify if the contents are breakable which was great. The 2 man team who moved us were polite, knowledgeable and respectful of our furniture and possessions, there was nothing broken or damaged during the move. The move was about 5 miles, we left one property at around 1pm and were fully moved into our new home by 3:30pm. Overall the Andrew Porter Team made the move easy and took a lot of the stress and worry out of what can be a very difficult process.

    • The furniture was placed exactly where I wanted, the beds re-assembled, the boxes neatly stacked.

      House move.

      The service was excellent and made our house move a lot less stressful. The team, particularly Steve and Paul Burke, were friendly, courteous, calm and extremely helpful. They were joined later by more team members whose names I wish I could remember because they were brilliant too!

      Steve and Paul wrapped and boxed all the breakable items and wall paintings, which reduced the work load and the stress. I can definitely recommend using the packing service.

      We moved to a smaller house so I was worried that it might be a bit too chaotic fitting everything in. However it was all very efficient. The furniture was placed exactly where I wanted, the beds re-assembled, the boxes neatly stacked.

      I really liked the team that moved us. Steve, who packed up with Paul and stayed throughout the whole process, was a star.

      Thanks a million to the team!

      Andrew Porter Ltd review by Rob and Dawn from Adlington, Lancs.

      We found the residential/domestic moving experience with Andrew Porter Ltd to be absolutely fantastic. The price quoted and paid was very good value for money. It took the stress out of moving. We had a lovely man from Andrew Porter Ltd come to the house to do an initial assessment of our moving needs. We felt very special that our move was tailored to us and not treated as just another move. We opted to pack our own items and were provided with more than ample suitable boxes and packing materials.

      We also opted for a pickup, and leave in storage for 3 days and then deliver. The moving out guys (I think I recall their names to be Les and Steve) who arrived to our home in Adlington, Lancashire and did the pick up were brilliant. Very professional, courteous and did the pick up with absolutely efficiency We were assured that our items, once packed into the truck, remained there untouched and in a secure compound until the day we moved in. We found this to be very reassuring.

      On the day of the move into our new home, the same truck with our belongings arrived at the new property at 9am in the morning - very prompt! The moving in guys (Ludo and John) were unbelievably…

      Removal from storage to new home.

      The efficiency of our removal was second to none and we were kept up to speed at all stages.

      The staff Paul and Joe were very friendly and worked tirelessly throughout to deliver my furniture etc and they continuously checked that we were happy with the location of all items.

      Despite our very short notification of our move the company went out of its way to accommodate our needs during a very stressful time. We will definitely use this company again.

      Help with a protracted removal.

      The office staff at Andrew Porters were amazingly helpful, understanding and professional as our plans to store, then move, dragged out over many months.

      When it came to the end, we were booked in at short notice and the removal squad were superb.

      We used this firm over thirty years ago, were not disappointed this time, and would use them again if we ever moved.

      Removal.

      We moved from Farnworth, Bolton to Wincanton, Somerset on the 15th February, from start to finish it was wonderful, there was no stress what so ever, from ringing to ask for a quote the man coming to assess to job the delivery of the boxes every thing went like clockwork. On the day the two lads who came were efficient friendly and just altogether great, nothing to much trouble for them they helped my husband to dismantle some things in the garage, as he wasn't to good on the day. As we were moving 200 plus miles away they brought the furniture the next day, gave us a time and kept us informed, they put every thing were we wanted it and were fantastic, still smiling at the end of it. I would recommend Andrew Porters and they were cheaper than the other quotes we had had. As I said at the beginning FANTASTIC from start to finish.

      Moved Preston to Derby.

      Excellent service from everyone at Andrew Porter. Everyone was extremely helpful, from Elaine and Kim in the office, Paul the assessor and Ludovic, Aarron and Les who arrived punctually on my moving day. Elaine said they would arrive between 9 and 9.30 and they were there at 9.05. They were incredibly efficient at loading the van and then had to tackle the M6 and the roadworks on a Friday (never a good day for that part of the motorway). They arrived before we did in the car. Just as quick to unload. Everything left in the correct rooms and bed and wardrobe reassembled quickly. In fact everything was finished by 3pm which I find incredible. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you so much to everyone !!

      Exceptionally poor service.

      We received exceptionally poor service from Andrew Porter. On the first day of the move the packers arrived late due to a dentist appointment. On the second two members of the team arrived late again and the removal van supplied already had two containers inside which meant that driver had to return to Kendal to offload. At the end of the second day several items were left in our old house requiring three further car journeys by to remove all our possessions. Many items that should have been have been moved into the house were dumped in a barn. This barn was not weather proof. The foreman stated that two men would return the next day to complete the work and move items into the house.They did not arrive. Andrew Porter agreed that they had not completed the move satisfactorily and that a further day should have been allowed.  They offered to supply two men four days later which was not acceptable because furniture was stored in a non weather proof barn and my wife and I were not available. We had to hire additional men to move our possessions before they were damaged.  We requested payment of £200 for this addtional work from Andrew Porter but after one month of requests for…

    • A more appropriate piano "cradle" is needed than the trolley which was used for ours

      House move.

      Very efficient and good-natured service. More boxes than estimated were needed and more staff were also drafted in but this was quickly dealt with. Removers worked very hard and were extremely helpful, responding well to all our concerns and requests. Packing service was excellent. (Paul and Joe).

      I should have checked in advance where the van needed to park then I could have alerted the neighbours appropriately - I had assumed they would park by the side of the house. It would be useful if this could be clarified earlier with customers.

      A more appropriate piano "cradle" is needed than the trolley which was used for ours to avoid lifting pianos manually.

      I would definitely recommend Andrew Porter to others and use them again.

      The disappointing return of my belongings.

      I wrote a review expressing my satisfaction giving 5* and stating how smoothly it all went.

      The return of my belongings from storage was not smooth. A large quantity of my breakkables were broken and I watched one of the removers throw a box into the corner of a room on top of a unit. It was marked books so I suppose he thought it acceptable and there was nothing breakable in it.!! Can’t say I would use them again.

Overall Satisfaction.

We have been let down with the property we wanted to purchase and everything turned into a mad panic as my buyers threatened to withdraw their offer giving us just 5 weeks to get out.
From initial contact with Elaine Anton, the assessors and finally Joe and Paul, who moved us into storage today I can only say all concerned have excelled.
Tomorrow we move into temporary accommodation and no doubt the service will be just as efficient.

Customer Service.

Wow new level of poor service! Been trying to contact these people via email for 2 weeks to try to give them some business. Seems the contact given is on hols, no out of office and no one monitoring customer enquiries on the website! Ring up and told I can't get an estimate for 2 weeks because I can't do 8.30am, err yes I work to pay for houses to employ removal firms.
As Head of Customer Services for a large organisation I am amazed how businesses don't seem keen on making a profit. If you'd ever like me to develop a strategy for you that will contribute to your profit margin do let me know. In the meantime I'd at least research 'customer nominal value' a concept you may find useful in the future.

Kendal to York.

Joe and Paul moved us 90 miles from Kendal to York. It was a very hot day at 29 degrees but they kept their cool and shifted 70 + boxes plus furniture in no time at all. They were careful and polite and everything arrived undamaged. Would definitely recommend without hesitation. Had to put Carlisle in "to" box as Kendal was not on list!

Moved into storage.

Our assessment showed that some of our furniture was too big to go into containerised storage. So we had two removals. Both were smooth and professionally undertaken by proficient and helpful staff who took care of our furniture and wrapped and protected it when necessary. I would highly recommend Andre Porter’s.

Didsbury Manchester.

Our Son had bought his first home and whilst living at home, acquired several items of furniture.
After arranging for a viewing of these items with quotation a date was confirmed.
I can only emphasise this was our first arrangement with Andrew Porter and their Operatives. Everything went smoothly on the day except they could not get an old chest of drawers up the stairs after several attempts, they agreed to temporary store until a solution was found I.e. to return it "back to base" at no charge.
Have no reservation in recommending this Company and would certainly use again in the future.
