I’ve used Andy a couple of times now and he’s a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and moves things carefully. He knows how to move things well and thinks things through before moving things to prevent problems. I 100% recommend Excalibur Removals and their prices are reasonable. I will 100% use him again anytime I need things moved.
Excellent service, very reliable, enormously hardworking and helpful, very reasonable price, I can thoroughly recommend Andy and his boys at Excalibur Removals.
Excellent, reliable service from start to finish. Would thoroughly recommend for any moving requirements.Thank you Andy, Dan, & Gerry for all your hard work. We cannot thank you enough 😊
Andy moved us from our flat to our new house and we were so pleased with the service - we honestly can’t recommend him enough. Everything was packed perfectly and the loading, moving and unloading was seamless. Andy communicated with us at every point and he was super patient when we had to hang around and wait for keys! All for a very reasonable price too. Thank you so much!
Andrew and Dan were absolute stars going above and beyond in making extra journeys to get all the garden and garage contents moved and stored at the new property. A late completion time meant that the chaps had to work on into the evening with no complaint and a cheery and positive attitude. They were professional and efficient and would highly recommend.
Best part of the whole moving experience. Professional, Fantastic work ethic, used their pack and remove service, no breakages and it made the move so much easier for us. Andy, Dan and Gerri work as a team, with great attitude and a sense of humour. Would definitely recommend.
Andy and team have moved me twice now. Exemplary service both times. Prompt, professional and well priced. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend Andrew and his team!Top class service.Fast and efficient 👌
I was recommended Excalibur by a friend. Andy and Dan were very helpful, extremely efficient and careful with all my stuff. Reasonable prices too. Would definitely use Excalibur again and recommend them to friends. They made the day much less stressful and even enjoyable in places
Andrew and his brilliant team moved us from our old house to our new house today. The pouring rain didn’t dampen their spirits, and they took great care of all of our many belongings. Extremely attentive, great communication, friendly, polite, practical, pragmatic and good fun to boot. Very highly recommended! Thank you so much!
Thank you to all for a very professional service.Firstly they charged a very fair price for the work and were flexible where they could be to assist.A lot of care was taken with protective covering not only in the house but on the driveway.Very thorough, kept asking questions rather than assuming things and just nice people.Couldn't recommend highly enough.Thanks very much
We were recommended Excalibur removals by a friend, and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others as the service we received was excellent. We had Andy and his team do both the packing and removals for our recent move and everything was packed extremely carefully and individually wrapped and they made quick work of moving a lot of heavy wooden furniture carefully. We would definitely use them again if required.
Great service would mark them 10/10. Andy and Dan were brilliant . Very efficient and organised. Both guys were lovely and love a cuppa. 100% recommend them
The guys who run this company are very professional and friendly careful with all your furniture taking it from your property and to your place of choice would highly recommend this company and not over priced.
A very belated 'thank you' to Andy Dan and Gerri for the great job they did in moving us last week. So professional but we also managed to have a bit of a laugh which helped with all the hanging about waiting for keys. I've just finished unpacking and not a single breakage! Very happy to recommend this Company.
Small, but absolutely brilliant, family business with many years of experience. Packed almost everything, not just delicates, and it arrived with nothing broken Full marks to Andy and his team.
Absolutely first class service. Great price, lovely people and really professional. Cant recommend them enough.
Fantastic service. Andy and Dan were brilliant - they cleaned out the whole house in about 30 minutes (!), and were packed and ready to go well before we were (including some really hefty pieces). They then proceeded to unpack everything smoothly on the other side, despite some difficult conditions. Very professional - would definitely recommend.
I'm very happy to recommend Excalibur Removals. They moved me from Bristol to Gloucestershire and were courteous, professional and efficient. Took good care of my possessions and at each property.
What a lovely team, good humored during a stressful time, honest, reasonably priced and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really know what they are doing and care about making sure all our belongings were moved safely and securely.We (Dee and I) would happily use them again and provide as much Tea as they wish. Happy to recommend
Excellent. Andrew went above and beyond. Team were amazing, efficiet, top notch – highly reccomend
I wholeheartedly recommend Excalibur Removals to anyone in need of moving services in Bristol and the surrounding area. Their expertise, professionalism, and customer-centric approach make them the best in the business. Moving house can be daunting, but with Excalibur, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands. They turned what could have been a stressful day into a positive and hassle-free experience from initial quotation, to placing down the final box in our new home. Thank you once again for your exceptional service! Would 100% recommend!
We recently used their man & van service to move to London.Andy respond me very quickly for getting a quote, and the price was clear and affordable. At the day of the moving, the team pick/put our items very quickly and kindly, so we had no stress.If we move to Bristol again, definitely we will ask them.
Couldn't be happier with Andy & Dan. They took great care and ensured everything was left in the right place. I was particularly impressed that they managed to move some particularly heavy pots. They were kind, thoughtful and we would definitely use them again.
I called Andy at a time of crisis. We had been let down by a local company with days to go to our move. We had also had another quote from a Bristol company who knowing how desperate we were tried to rip us off.Andy who was away on holiday at the time answered our call, gave us a probable price which he stuck to and moved a job around in order to fit our move in. On the day he turned up with Dan and a nicer hard working pair you couldn’t wish to meet. They both worked so hard for two days. Nothing was too much trouble and they seemed to look after our property as if it was there’s. Great guys who I would recommend to anyone and I would definitely use again…. But not for a while I hope.Thanks both.
I called Andy a few days before my move in panic as I had been let down by someone referred to me. He immediately reassured me and found a good time for me to complete the move. He arrived exactly on time on the day and to say that his expertise and skills are top notch is doing him and his colleague (Dan) a disservice. They moved my stuff so quickly, efficiently and safely I was genuinely dumbfounded. It was professional, swift and incredibly efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy and Excalibur Removals to anyone in any situation.
Highly Recommend Andy & his team. Polite, friendly and knowledgeable in all areas of removals. Provided clear quotes for two differing scenarios. Showed flexibility and had great communication when we required storage of our belongings between our move at short notice. Showed our homes respect on each occasion and efficient in their work. Made a stressful move much more relaxing. Use of appropriate humour during the moves added to the service. Easily 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We moved from Bristol to Devizes with Excalibur. They were professional and cheerful. Would recommend. Ian
I can't recommend Excalibur Removals highly enough.They provided us with boxes and tape well in advance of the moving date and also collected them after promptly.The team arrived bang on time and dealt with the whole process quickly and professionally.If you want a small family run business to handle what can be a difficult process, then this company is the one to choose.Great fair pricing too!Thank you Andy for your help.
Excalibur Removals have moved us every time we move home.They are friendly, professional, take great care of our goods and ensure the move goes as smoothly as possible.Highly recommend.It's a lot less stress with Excalibur to do the work for us.We're very grateful.
Andy and the team provide an outstanding service. Communication is importantly prompt and concise. Having compared a number of local providers and having used their service from a value and quality perspective they are A1! They are great people who are so at ease and can always crack a smile which goes a long way with what is always a stressful time. Would highly recommend.
These guys are so great.Came out and did a full quote for moving. Really good price.They’re really friendly and made me feel at ease, because I was in over my head.Arrived exactly when they said they would on the day.Had me packed up in a matter of hours, and deposited the other end. They even went out of their way to move something to a different house.Friendly and professional the whole way through. We had a right giggle, they made the whole experience fun.I would 100% recommend.
Great job done by Andy and his team! They are really careful with furniture, protecting and securing everything properly. Nothing has been damaged in my move. Also, very friendly team and good communication all around. I definitely recommend!
WOW, the best service ever!!!The guys were very professional & efficient! Our furniture was treated so well, all wrapped in covers. Andy & his team worked well together & were very fast & careful ... they even considered that the weather was rainy/muddy and covered the cream carpets with blanket coverings so no marks were left behind.Pricing was the best out of 3 different quotes, very reasonable & worth every penny!!We will definitely use them again & will most definitely recommend them to anyone needing a removal company.Mandy & Glynn
Andrew and the Excalibur team recently managed our move from one side of Nailsea to the other.Excellent service throughout, we had a lot of furniture and items that all needed packing, and Andrew’s team handled everything from start to finish.They really helped take the stress out of our move and worked so hard they didn’t leave us until 9pm on the Friday evening!Thank you Andrew!
I chose Excalibur Removals out of a number of removal companies because their quote was competitive and insurance was included, not a chargeable extra.It was also pleasing to be able to support a local family run business.I made use of their packing service which was excellent, done in a morning, whereas the job would have taken me several days.The move itself was done efficiently and carefully with staff good humoured and helpful all the time.I would have no hesitation in recommending Excalibur Removals to anyone
Hiring Andy gives us peace of mind knowing they will take care of our moving professionally and leave us nothing to worry about. It’s money well spent. Our flat has lift but can’t use one to move furniture, so Andy and team needed to back and forth for hours but always with smile (and sweat of course!) never i heard them grumpy, they also very careful with our things. I am thankful for them and i highly recommended them for anyone in Bristol looking for a reliable moving company that gives you a piece of mind.
Andy and his team have been amazing throughout my recent move. They removed everything from my old home, placed in storage then moved everything out of storage and into my new home. Every interaction with Andy (phone, email, in person) was positive - he quickly answered all of my queries, explained how the process would work and made sure that I was comfortable with everything.On both the moving out and the moving in days - Andy and his team (Matt and Dan) were incredibly quick and well organised, professional, warm, friendly and caring. They made sure that I was happy with everything before they left. I highly recommend them!
Highly recommended. Andy and his team worked quickly and efficiently to move our effects with care in Bristol. Andy and his team were on time, polite and good humoured and were always keen to check where we would like our items placed on unloading. There were also patient and helpful when we were delayed unloading due to a late handover of keys. Give these guys a call if you want a removal company who gets the job done professionally. A*
Highly recommended. Excalibur are professional, friendly, and with great communication throughout the whole process. The move went very smoothly and they had us moved out and in to our new home very quickly. They have years of experience and it shows. The price was also very competitive. Thanks Andy and team!
Brilliant removal company! I've already recommended to friends. Really reasonably priced and all-round trustworthy and efficient guys. Andy came out to quote and packed up our belongings making our house move that much less stressful.They were friendly, on-time, reliable and quick! All of our belongings were unpacked in our new home in great condition. Breakables were wrapped very carefully. Nothing was too much trouble for them.Great communication about timings and how the move would work. Although there wasn't much notice with our moving date, Andy made it work around the jobs they already had on.I'd 100% use this company again and recommend to anyone who wants a stress-free move. It was worth every penny!
The service from Andy and Excalibur has been phenomenal. We have now used them twice. The first time, we had very short notice, and through great communication and back and forth, Andy found a way to make the date work. It felt like a genuine commitment to making things work. Punctual, communicative, supportive throughout. We were impressed. So we booked the next part of the move for three months later, and once again Excalibur were amazing.The way our items were taken care of was great. We would definitely use them again without hesitating.I cannot recommend highly enough if you are looking for support with a house move and want to see your move carefully managed and your belongings care-taken.
