Armishaws Removals & Storage Reviews 

Alan/Doug did excellent job Collecting and Delivering My stuff.

In April 2025 we had three removal companies give us a quote to move house.
All three gave professional estimates with varying prices. Armishaws was in the middle. The estimator told me that if I pay £100 today I would go on the preferential customer list guaranteeing vehicles for the day, he said it was a no brainer as I would get a full refund if we went with another company. So I did.
We actually decided to go with another company and so I contacted Armishaws for a refund, to be told it would be less £30 for admin charge. After several emails with the sales manager which got more and more ridiculous, he even discussed the disciplinary action he would be taking with the estimator for not explaining that this £100 was in fact a deposit. He finally agreed to pay the £100 refund. The accounts department even returned an email saying the refund has been processed and they were waiting for the powers that be to press the button. 6 weeks later it seems pressing that button is to difficult for the powers that be.
I’m sure that this is a waiting game but it shows a complete lack of professionalism. I would seriously consider your options before using this company. Read all of their terms and conditions, look at all the hidden costs.

It began very promisingly with Chris coming to see us to discuss the move. We were moving from a large house with a farm attached at the end of January 2025. We had done a lot of the packing ourselves but needed assistance with the larger items and the more delicate precious pieces. Armishaws came to us over three days to pack. I had packed up most of the rooms upstairs leaving everything i wanted packed in that room to keep it together. This didn't happen. We were there the whole time in case assistance was required. Armishaws delivered to us over three days to the new house. When we started unpacking we found many damaged pieces of furniture including a large gilded frame with pieces missing not even in the box. There were scratches and missing veneer on many of the mahogany pieces. They had one helpful Foreman during this time but the men working for him seemed to have little idea about packing up a house of this kind. There was a definite lack of communication between management and the men actually doing the job. This was exacerbated by Chris not coming back as we had suggested and he had promised to assess the full extent of the job and how much packing we ourselves had done.

Paul (in charge) and Luke were with us for the 3-day move and were fantastic. They took excellent care especially with our more precious items. They didn’t rush us and made sure everything was finished properly before they left. They made it as low-stress as possible. The whole process was very smooth and efficient from the survey, quote, booking dates all the way through. Would highly recommend Armishaws. Thank you very much to all the staff involved.

Top rate service from Armishaws (their Overs division). Paul and Luke were superb - nothing was too much trouble and they made our first move in 25 years a happy and stress free experience. They understood this is one of life's most important events and were a joy to work alongside. Thank you!

Paul and Luke were exceptional;
Friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble

Wow! The removals team worked so hard and nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly and professional and met various challenges with efficiency and care.
Would highly recommend them. Thank you.

Armishaws moved us for the second time in 9 years this week and we were again so impressed by the efficiency of booking, the inventory process and the motivation of the team on the day.
Special shout out to Harry (x 2) and Rob - we had a laugh from start to finish over the two days - thank you!

Sadly things were bad from the moment we arrived at our new home to unpack the first lorry. The funds were delayed which I know happens quite a lot and we didn’t get the keys until 4.30pm. This was one of the Lorrie’s with a second Lorry coming after the weekend I had a phone call from
The office saying the guys were leaving at 6.00pm with whatever was left on the lorry. We are 76 and 71 years old and if it hadn’t been my for daughter and her partner joining in up and down on and off the lorry we would not have got the items unloaded. I cannot fault the guys but the stress this put on my husband and I was horrendous and in all
The years that I had experienced of moving I have never had this happen before. Because the guys stayed an extra hour (from 5.00pm to 6.00pm) we were charged an extra £180. Read the small print on the contract peeps as no one explained that to us when we booked them. I would definitely not use this company again and if you use them be AWARE you will be left in the lurch if you do t have anyone to help get your items off. I was told by the second lorry team that we should never have been allowed on the lorry because of health and safety. 😳. A very very disappointing experience though I cannot fault the guys that looked after us. The second lorry came after the bank holiday weekend and we had no problem. But please BEWARE READ THE SMALL PRINT

I have used the Wincanton branch of Armishaws a number of times for moving and storage. Each time I have found all of the Armishaws team really helpful and proactive with any questions and requests I have.

I would like to say a special thank you to Harrison and John for helping my two day move go smoothly and calmly, and for helping take the strain away from me.

Paul and Martin conducted our removals as part of a military move. They were punctual, courteous and polite. Would recommend!

Arranged my removal at fairly short notice with Armishaws. Ruth at head office was extremely helpful in sorting out the collection and delivery arrangements. Our uplift was on 1/5/25. The crew, Artur and 3 colleagues, turned up right on schedule just after 8am. They worked tirelessly and methodically to empty the contents of the house without any damage or accidents. They were all very professional and polite.
The contents were delivered the following day to the new address. The driver was again Artur, this time with one colleague Sam. It felt as though there should have been a third person given the quantity of goods, but undaunted the two chaps worked solidly on what was a very hot day to safely deliver our contents. Admiration and respect to both Artur and Sam who were a credit to Armishaws. No hesitation in recommending Armishaws and would certainly use again if I was crazy enough to move house again. Best wishes to all concerned.

Harry and Ben did a fantastic job directing the team for a long move from Salisbury to Pembrokeshire. They packed everything on time, were professional, and made the move smooth.

Darin and Doug were both great - really friendly and took real care with our belongings.

Excellent and professional service from first visit and quote, right though to the move. They were also very understanding when the first move date was pushed back 6 months due to chain collapsing. Look no further, these are the team for you.

Darin, Alan, Artur, Rohan & Sean were all brilliant! Darin & Alan met unexpected circumstances on the packing day with much appreciated good cheer and the next day all worked with a will delivering on the hottest day of the year so far, even though the van could not be right outside the door. Darin managed to reassemble my very ancient and battered wardrobe probably into better shape than previously. I’m also grateful that all the cardboard boxes were collected very promptly!

Had a really good job done by Darin and Sam who were super friendly and helpful. They listened to our request well and were able to provide the service diligently. Would definitely use this service in future as well.

Sam and Ben were absolute stars and made our move in , which was complicated by a lot of stuff going into store, as smooth as it could be

Darin and Sam were fantastic, friendly and kind. Efficiently moved our homes across the country, they were careful with our possessions and skilled with the difficulties that appears when moving oversize items out of small entrances. Friendly to talk to when on their allowed breaks and caring when it comes to the out of the ordinary situations, this was evident when I had a very tearful little girl that was overwhelmed. Darin as an experienced father knew how to make her smile and get excited about the move. Both went above and beyond to complete the move safely and respectfully. Highly recommend!

Sam and Darin were very helpful the whole time was able to do it in 4 hours and were very kind and respectful
