“I just wanted to leave feedback from a move your lads carried out for my mother yesterday. The three lads were excellent, Graham was the supervisor and the two young blokes were a credit to your company. Very professional, nothing too much trouble, cheerful and conscientious. I would highly recommend in future.” August 2026
“From the moment Ian arrived he was efficient, hard working and polite. He guided young Dennis who seemed to me to be learning fast. He also worked extremely hard and was so helpful to me on the day of moving with last minute packing. Simon who arrived later was excellent in helping and manoeuvring the larger furniture and again guided Dennis. An amazing team with the additional support of Paul and Graham on day two. I have given nothing but praise to your company to anyone who will listen.” July 2026
“We can’t say enough about how impressed we were with Alan, Tam and Nigel. They were so efficient, really helpful, friendly and personable. How anyone could be that cheery after a journey from Carlisle to North Yorkshire I don’t know 😊. We felt so confident and assured. The service was top notch and we would recommend County Removals without hesitation. Many thanks to all 3 and to you for your fast responses and organisation.” July 2026
“Everyone we encountered from start to finish has acted in a friendly manner, with the utmost respect and care for our needs and with our property. The teams on the days of the move were absolutely first rate and I cannot pick any fault with your company throughout the whole process. Being ex-forces, we moved a fair bit in the past and this experience is standing well above the others we used in the past, just wish we had found you sooner.” March 2026
“We recently moved house from Cumbria to Scotland. We needed a team who were willing to remove a lifetimes possessions from a large Victorian house and who were capable of taking care of delicate ceramics, antique possessions and some very heavy furniture. Alan and team from County Removals arrived at the precise pre-arranged time and set about removing 90 boxes, 75 paintings, 15 mirrors, a Chesterfield Suite, several brass bedsteads together with our kitchen paraphernalia, clothes, ornaments and every single family possession. They were done in 5 hours and were a delight to be around. They were very attentive, very polite and ultra professional. All of our possessions were held overnight in Carlisle and the very next day at precisely 9am they were waiting for us as we arrived at our new home in Scotland. It took Alan and his team no time at all to put all of our possessions into our new home and not a single item had been damaged. It was a truly remarkable and enjoyable experience at the end of a protracted house sale that had been extremely stressful. We cannot thank Alan and the team from County Removals enough. We would recommend them to anybody who wants to take stress and strain out of moving house. 10 out of 10.” November 2025
“A massive thanks to Jamie and the team for Thursday, Friday and Monday; they have been terrific but prime accolade must go to Jamie – he handled the guys brilliantly, was extremely careful with everything, communicated with us superbly and went out of his way to try to get everything into the house (even when pieces seemed reluctant) and to accommodate all our requests and favours. The team went well beyond what we could have expected. Thanks of course to you too for allowing the change to the delivery schedule. We will of course recommend County Removals to anyone who asks.” September 2025
“I wanted to thank your team who were a joy to deal with and they were very kind, considerate and careful with my possessions. A good move under tricky circumstances so I am very grateful.” September 2025

“Just a short note to say what a great job Alan, Mike and Tyler did on Friday for my move across Penrith. Not only were they thoroughly professional, hardworking and careful, they were all a real pleasure to spend the day with, good humoured and fun throughout. They also took in their stride a two-hour delay caused by my purchaser’s solicitors making an avoidable error in the completion payment process and although I guess it’s an unfortunate part of your job they didn’t get frustrated or complain. Thanks again for all the patience and help you’ve extended to me since my first getting in touch several months ago. I couldn’t be happier with the service you’ve provided and for completely taking the stress out of the removal day process. I will recommend you to anyone I know who might be thinking of moving.” July 2024

I really felt that they went over and above for Liz and I! They’re an absolute credit to you and the business.” June 2022
“I’d just like to say, I haven’t met a nicer bunch of guys as I did yesterday. Right from the start of my experience dealing with your company and the gentleman who came out to give me the quotation, everything was great. The three guys worked continuously throughout the day and couldn’t have been more helpful, everything was packed safely and nothing broken en route. They also packed the storage unit very well which meant I was left with a small amount of room at the front of the unit which was a bonus. I would highly recommend them and your company to anyone who would require your services. FIVE STARS! (A very happy customer)!” May 2022

They were efficient hard working chaps who were conscious of the Covid restrictions and managed our move to Lazonby on Jan 6th 2021 very efficiently. Everything was carefully handled including moving a large American fridge freezer that needed to have its doors removed/replaced to fit in the house! They took the time and trouble to always ask if everything was in the right room and where we wanted it etc. I’d have no hesitation to recommending County and would be happy to use them again.” 12th January 2021

They were always courteous, you must be very proud of your team and I can’t express how grateful we are to have received such a superb service. Right from the outset we had the utmost confidence in County Removals. It can clearly be a stressful time but you all helped settle our anxiety and carried out your duties in an excellent manner.

“We really need to thank you for your help and the sound advice you gave us, “Just let it all flow by you”, you said. With the team that did our removals, Peter, Barry and David, it couldn’t have been any other way. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they seemed to make the day very easy. We were amazed at their weight lifting capabilities, their knowledge of being able to pack everything in the right order and knowing exactly where it needed to go when the unpacking began. They worked together all the time as a team and we appreciated their courtesy, patience and their sense of humour. It was a good start to moving into another much smaller house and although it is a few weeks late, please will you thank them again on our behalf and pass on our best wishes. We feel they are a great asset to the company and we would certainly recommend and speak highly of County Removals to anybody who asks us how it went.” – 21st August 2019
“I want to pass on my thanks to Jamie and Barry who carried out a rather complicated move with efficiency and good humour.

A credit to your firm.” – 27th June 2019
“We would like to say a big thank you to you and everyone at County Removals for making our move from Cumbria to Lincolnshire go smoothly. During your visits to give us quotes we were impressed with your professionalism and trusted you would provide a great service. We have not been disappointed.
On removal days Daz and Gary worked incredibly hard. They were careful with our furniture and boxes and even so they managed to work at speed. Please pass our thanks onto them both.” – 18th June 2019
“Between us, my wife and I have moved over 15 times and the move you did for us last week was by far and away the best we’ve ever had. The guys were both good individually and the way they worked together was a text book example of team working.

So an excellent job very well done and we are already recommending you to others.” – 31st May 2019

Thanks again!” – June 2018
“I am writing to give a 5* rating for the way the directors and staff at Carlisle looked after us from the moment we contacted you back in December 2017 to the actual move to North Berwick in April 2018. The personal contact and the attention to detail shown by Peter preparing for the move was very reassuring. And then I have nothing but praise and appreciation for the way that Ian and his team looked after us during the move. On arrival they worked very hard – and with patience and good humour as the cupboards and chest of drawers and garage seemed to hold a lot more items than they (or we) ever expected. They managed to get everything packed safely into the vans. And then in glorious sunshine they arrived on time the next morning at North Berwick and had everything safely unloaded in the right places in no time at all. There was no damage to any items and they moved the furniture into the house with care and no damage to the walls or woodwork. I am happy to be contacted by any clients who would like a personal reference. I highly recommend your company in Carlisle and would use them again if I needed to.” – May 2018
“Wonderful helpful workers.
Excellent service even when tired. Kept us cheered up and picked up the pieces when we were flagging.” – February 2018

“Thank you so much particularly to Ian and Donny for their hard work and helpfulness in loading, delivering and unloading our furniture 280 miles from Hertfordshire to Cumbria!
We were delighted with the service that was provided by them and by Jim, Chris and Paul who also unloaded the lorry in Cumbria. They made our move stress free and we highly recommend their professionalism and kindness. We were so pleased and grateful for the service we received and experienced. Best wishes and kind regards to them all.” – November 2017
“We just wanted to say thank you so much to the crew that moved us on Friday.
They arrived bang on time and removed our belongings very quickly and with good humour. All went well going into our new address too – the men were very willing to help us put our furniture straight and the whole process was without incident and stress free. Thank you all – we would definitely recommend County Removals.” – September 2017
“I want to thank you personally for all the organising that you did to make our move as seamless as possible.
I would particularly like to thank the four lads who did all the physical work of moving furniture, taking wardrobes to bits and rebuilding them at our new home. The sofas needed taking to bits as well and the fridge freezer needed the doors taking off. They were all put back together as good as new. As a team they worked like clockwork, so would you mind thanking Darren, Wesley, Stuart and Mark very much from me. We had a glitch with the building society releasing the funds due to a minor technical issue, so we did not get the keys until nearly 2 o’clock, even though they left our address at 12 o’clock. They did not complain they just got to work straight away and by 4.30pm they were finished with everything unloaded and in the respective rooms. Once again a big thank you to you and your team.” – September 2017
“Just a quick note to thank your team who moved us last Friday (03 February).
The three guys (Lee, Graham and another who’s name I can’t recall) were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us, even to the extent whereby I was getting chastised for trying to assist . You were recommended to us by some friends who you moved in November 2016 and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to others. Thanks again.” – February 2017
“Well done!!
Three very polite and professional lads from starting to finishing the job, they never stopped. I would highly recommend them and your company to other people. ” – October 2016
“Thank you! For your part in getting us here with an absolute minimum of stress!”
Your friendly approach and professional advice were much appreciated. You have a great team – both in the office and on the van. Ian and Mark are a cheery and very very helpful pair, uncomplaining and hardworking, and we hope they got home to Cumbria in good time. The door is open should you be up this way and you would be very welcome With our best wishes. P.S No breakages at all!” – May 2016
“I would like to give some feedback on the work that Ian and Donny did when delivering our belongings to our new house.
They were waiting for us at 9am as arranged and from that time on worked tirelessly to unload and to place our furniture and other items in the house. They were very careful and thoughtful in what they did, checking with us all the time to ensure that things were placed where we wanted them. When one of our new neighbours spoke to them about their parking on yellow lines (there really was nowhere else to park) they remained polite and explained the reasons why they were parked where they were. Throughout the whole removal process we have been very pleased with the efficiency of the work undertaken by all your staff and would have no hesitation in recommending County Removals.” – April 2016

“Your Removal team moved us from Canonbie to Port Logan today. The boys worked tirelessly throughout the day, to give us an excellent service. They were all polite, well mannered and helpful. In particular, the drivers manoeuvring and reversing skills were commented on by the villagers in Port Logan! We have previously recommended your company to several friends and in view of todays experience will continue to do so in future. Would you please pass our thanks to the lads.” – July 2015
“Brilliant job at everything. Nothing too much trouble. Thanks”
“We would like to thank you for the two removals which you did for us recently. Some of our furniture to Huddersfield and then the big move to Alderley Edge. Everything went so well, but we realise not without a tremendous amount of hard work.
We feel we must express our appreciation of the gentlemen who did the jobs for their cheerfulness, politeness and thoroughly professional attitude. It was a pleasure to meet them. Their packing of our goods was very substantial and there were no breakages at all. The manager here at Alderley Edge was also very impressed by the adaptability of your staff in connection with the parking of the very large van!” – November 2014
“Just writing to express our thanks for all your help during our move from Carlisle to Torrington, Devon.”
Professional, friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a hot day and very long hours and we really appreciate all you did for us. Also ‘thank you’ to those involved in packing and in the office. Will recommend you” – September 2014
“I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank the team who came to pack up. They were unfailingly professional and cheerful, and worked incredibly hard with practically no breaks. Thanks very much for your good efforts so far. I’d recommend you to anybody.” – June 2014
“The move went without a hitch …”
I had a long distance move from Castle Carrock to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, on 17th/18th February 2014. The move went without a hitch, mainly down to the professionalism, hard work and skill of the drivers Ian Bell and Marc Moscrop. I am a widow, and was totally stressed out, but these two turned the move into a good experience. There were no breakages or damage even though the weather was atrocious. Please pass on my grateful thanks to these two. I have already recommended County Removals to several people in the Carlisle/Brampton area” – March 2014
“These will be the final decants from Mill Gardens, and I appreciate all your efforts on these moves. We have had some fantastic comments from these residents regarding County Removals.” – Ross Cowperthwaite, Eden Housing
