Recent reviews

House Removal
reviewed September 2025

"Moved to nearby location to downsize. We had boxes delivered prior to the move. We packed non breakable items. Shore porters were responsible for breakables. Furniture moved was all quite standard. The difficult area was the garage-an exceptionably large work bench, a wood turning lathe and lots of tools. All handled with ease. In addition in the house was an indoor orchid collection, these were also handled with care. We had a walk through visit prior to the move. The move was handled over three days."

"The experience of dealing with Shore Porters was excellent from initial enquiry to completion of the move. We had an initial visit whilst making up our mind which company to use. The details of the move were discussed. This was quickly followed up by contact from the office(Aberdeen) and a quote. The quote was not the cheapest, but we were very impressed by the service offered so went with it. Prior to the move we had contact with the office and packing boxes delivered. On moving day the crew arrived early and set to packing quickly. They were friendly and professional. All items were handled with care. The move took place over three days, with packing finished on day two. On day two, when we finally got the keys, the van was waiting for us at our new house. Unpacking was completed on day three. At all times the crew were excellent."

"I was moving from a large 2 bedroom flat to a slightly larger house in Aberdeen. I had the usual boxes and furniture plus a heavy piano."

"I am very happy with Shore Porters service. The guys were polite, friendly and handled my stuff with care. I would recommend SP for removals."

House Removal Lincolnshire to Aberdeenshire
reviewed September 2025

"I moved from Lincolnshire to Aberdeenshire. Access at both ends was challenging but the guys were superb. They arrived promptly and got a 4 bed house and garden packed and loaded in 8 hours."

"The quote I was given was very reasonable and the office staff answered my questions quickly and clearly. The whole experience was far less traumatic the I expected and I would thoroughly recommend this company."

House Removal Aberdeen to Dalkeith
reviewed August 2025

"We chose SPS for our move from Aberdeen to Dalkeith. An excellent pre-quotation visit was done and after accepting the quote the dates for the move were scheduled. It was a summer move: first to storage and then delivery to our new home."

"A crew of 4 packed up in high temperatures and then a crew of 2 made the delivery from storage. All our goods had no breakage or damage. After we unpacked all the empty boxes and paper were picked up from us within a week. Overall a stress free move. An excellent job was done by the Assessor, the removal crew and the move coordinator. We received 3 quotes from reputable companies. We selected SPS as they employ their crew and look after them also during the move and possible overnight stays."

House Removal
reviewed June 2025

"We were moving from a 3 bedroom house to another house in the same town. The team arrived on time, had a walk through the house and garage to check what items there were and to double check if any items were remaining. They were very efficient and took care of our items."

"I had initially requested a quote online, however, I received a call and an appointment made for a representative to come to the house to see the items for moving. They were very friendly, advised what the team would do on the day and gave advice on packing certain items, which was really helpful. The team in the office were very friendly too and we received all the paperwork by email which was clear and easy to follow. On the day of moving, the boxes were marked with which room to put them to in the new house and it went smoothly. From arriving after 8am, everything was in the new house and they were gone by about 2pm and there were a lot of boxes!!"

"Move was from West coast to East coast Scotland, did have a lot of plants in pots.."

"I think it depends on the team that did the move and we got a very good team, worked from the minute they arrived, until the job was complete."

House Removal & Storage
reviewed March 2025

"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!"

House Removal Scotland to Surrey
reviewed March 2025

"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."
