David Gilkes did a long haul move and we opted for the two day move (they collected our things on day 1, then delivered on day 2). I was blown away by the care and attention. We didn’t have to pack draws, or pack the hanging clothes, these two things made a huge difference with packing. They put each box into whatever room was written on it and in the past this hasn’t happened with other movers I used. We have two dogs and they weren’t bothered by them in the slightest, in fact they made a point to say goodbye to them after they finished. We had a nightmare with our vendor so the two day move was less stressful and ensured we had the house ready for them. Would highly recommend and incredibly professional. Thank you DG!

Top-Class Service from David Gilkes Removals, With a Few Laughs Along the Way!
After 58 years in their family home, moving was an emotional and daunting task for my elderly and disabled mum and dad. But from the moment the David Gilkes Removals team arrived, promptly at 8:30 AM sharp, we knew we were in the best hands. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine kindness made a potentially stressful day feel smooth and even enjoyable.
They didn’t just pack and move furniture, they went above and beyond to make sure Mum and Dad were comfortable and happy. Nothing was too much trouble, whether it was tackling tricky and heavy furniture or carefully ensuring every box was placed exactly where it needed to be. Their patience and attention to detail were exceptional, staying right through until around 3 PM and even helping to put the furniture back together at the new place.
And it wasn’t all work, there were plenty of laughs along the way! One particularly funny moment came when one of the lads dropped a jar of beetroot, earning himself the nickname “BeetleJuice” for the rest of the day. To top it off, we mistook another lad for the boss early on, which led to endless ribbing from the rest of the crew, keeping the mood light and spirits high.
After an hour’s drive to the new home, they unpacked with the same care and respect, ensuring everything was placed perfectly. By the time they left, Mum and Dad were not just settled, they were relaxed and relieved after such a significant move.
If you’re looking for a removal firm that combines professionalism, hard work, and a great sense of humour, look no further than David Gilkes Removals. They made a tough day feel easy and left us with smiles all around. Highly recommended!Read more

Had a great experience with Gilkes, we discussed the quote and there was flexibility and helpful conversations about what could work for us. The plan was clear and it was one less stress to consider as the service was really professional and felt reliable. Packing was done with care and the team who did the packing and moving were really helpful, approachable and did a brilliant job, all went smoothly and like clockwork . Felt well worth the money and would recommend.

Incredibly professional service. We were recommended by a friend and were not disappointed. They had a video call with us so they were able to give an accurate quote on what items we had for our house move. The quote was reasonably expensive, but I think worth it considering how safe you felt with them. The removal men arrived promptly on the day and were professional throughout and took good care of our furniture and possessions, especially an unwieldy delicate desk. Hopefully we won't be moving soon, but we would definitely use them again.

An amazing service from a professional company from start to finish. Everyone I spoke to treated me as a valued client, the video survey was efficient and the quote was reasonable.
Yesterday was the move date, and although my stress levels were high, the four-strong team were great. They worked efficiently and professionally. They were also very determined to get my large sofa into the lounge, even though I'd given them a Plan B! This involved them dismantling the sofa and reassembling it in situ. I was amazed at the lengths they went to and extremely grateful.
Use this company if you want the job done properly!

Brilliant service from start to finish. Friendly and professional greeting from Hannah and great communication from Gill in the office. Kate who came out to quote for us was fantastic and very efficient - quote came through really quickly. On the removal day the guys in the vans were also brilliant - got the job done quickly. They threw a second van at the job to get us completed in time. All in all a wonderful service from David Gilkes Removals. This wasn't the first time we've used them and we definitely recommend them and would use them again. Thanks Team Gilkes
