We used Colin Batts removals for our house move a few weeks ago. They were brilliant 🤩. They turned up on time, they introduced themselves and got straight on with the job in hand. They were all very polite, hard working and respectful of our property. I would definitely use them again and if anyone is looking for removal company I would suggest these. Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in our moving process we really did appreciate your attentiveness 😊🤩
I would totally recommend Colin Batt Removals. We have just completed a multi location and multi stage move and it was so professionally handled. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, with Steve and Chris deserving a special shout out.
Excellent service. The only one of five companies that came to price the job on site. And the best quote received. This included the boxes needed, which were collected for re-use after the move. Turned up on time, did the job well. Couldn’t have asked for better.
We used Colin Batt Removals recently to move us from Gravesend to Ashford. We also used their packing service and the team were excellent, quick, careful and very efficient. The whole move went extremely well and we can thoroughly recommend them.
