Recent reviews
"The entire contents of our house were packed away into the large removal van and transported 400 miles to remain in the company’s own storage facility for several months. Whilst 3 days were allocated for the process, the 3 professional removal men were away on their journey at the beginning of the third day. We had a few clocks which were carefully packed. The garage looked challenging but it was well packed away. Thank you."
"Nothing was too much trouble-all our kitchen cupboards of china, glasses, cups and sauces were wrapped and stored carefully. We asked Shore Porters to carry out our move because the company moved our son and family previously and we were able to be there and saw how careful and thorough the people involved were. We would highly recommend them if you require a removal business that has excellent communications and has many years of experience and a great team of professionals. Thanks to all the team!"
"Moving entire contents of 4 bedroom house 500 miles from Scotland to Surrey including oil paintings grandfather clocks, large heavy dressers and large plant pots"
"Wonderful team loaded up in Scotland then two of that team came down to Surrey and did a fantastic job. They worked so hard and with great sense of humour. They made the awful job easier and more pleasant. They worked so efficiently and quickly and were incredibly helpful and polite and friendly"
"Very impressed. Turned up when expected and after a walkthrough the men got on with the job in a fast efficient manner. They were courteous and polite. Basically I didn’t have to do anything as they were very professional."
"From the get go from the man coming to give me a quote I felt that the firm knew what it was doing. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They instilled a confidence. Everyone was very professional and the price very good. Definitely highly recommended."
"House move at fairly short notice. Access at new address limited for removals vans."
"Very smooth process from receiving estimate of costs to completion of house move. Plenty of boxes and packing materials provided prior to the move. The removals team on the day were very polite, attentive and considerate. The move was made as easy as it could be. Happy to recommend."
"Our move was essentially a lift and shift. Most of the ''large'' elements (dining room table and chairs etc..) were not coming with us, and the kitchen appliances were all integrated. I had tried to box as much as I could, to make the lifting and stacking a little easier, and this helped with the timings on move day itself. We were moving from a 4-bedroom villa, over 2 floors, to a similar house setup."
"The team from Shore Porters were brilliant and very professional. I had never used house movers before, so had no idea of time / scale, but they emptied my entire 4 bedroom house, plus garden furniture and double garage in 2.5 hours. Very impressive!! We then had a frustrating delay in getting the keys to our new property, but the team were all very good about it and still managed to get all of our boxes unloaded by 5pm. Our move co-ordinator even checked in to see how my wife and I were doing regarding the delay, and checking we were OK. Very, VERY happy with the service of the whole team on the day. Absolutely fantastic ! Highest recommendations from me. "
"Removal services, storage for a week, and then delivery services to our new house.."
"Can't recommend Shore Porters highly enough - competitively priced, helpful & efficient office team, and the delivery guys themselves were superb - friendly, hard working and very much went above & beyond for us!"
"The men who did my house removal were pleasant, professional, courteous and efficient. I appreciated also Craig’s calls to check in and advise as time went on and still no keys until late pm.."
"I cannot praise the whole team highly enough. The team made tremendous efforts to to get the van emptied in time to avoid me having to pay penalties. I will certainly recommend to any friends or colleagues. Office staff also very professional, friendly and helpful. Also, well priced compared to other firms. Would recommend highly."
"Excellent company to deal with, always had good communication, and friendly staff."
"The removal staff were most helpful and very efficient. The whole experience was excellently carried out, on uplift and delivery.."
