GOOD Based on 64 reviews Posted on Carole MackinderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Barnes for three house moves now and would not go to anyone else. They are so helpful and professional, I don't hesitate to recommend them.Posted on Chris PorterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely excellent service. We had a team of five that did our move, nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond what we expected. Faultless, what a great bunch of guys. Would not hesitate to recommend 100%.Posted on Mick GlenfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barnes were completely fantastic during our move. From start to finish they were professional, courteous and capable. They made a strange and stressful situation (for us, at least!) as easy as possible. Massive shout out to Alex and Dean who lead the team and delivered us to our new home. They truly could not have been more helpful.Posted on JaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptionally good service from the removals crew over the last 2 days. Friendly, fast and careful. Dave, Connor, James, Tom and Dean, you’re all superstars, thank you so much!Posted on Marie TamelováTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Barnes Removals. From Lincoln packing, storage and then delivery to Prague the service was first class, friendly and professional. We spoke to a person, not a computer, with every question. Lots of help with the forms and all the packers and unpackers were very careful. The Barnes team were also great with communications and all the staff showed a strong professional team spirit. Made the move easy. ThanksPosted on Tania ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend this company highly enough! Fantastic service above and beyond from start to finish. Paul did the quote for packing and removal, which was more than reasonable - and he made me laugh!! 12 pots is all I have to say!!! Charlie in the office sorted the invoice quickly and we were “ good to go” 10 days later! Connor and AJ how can I thank you enough!! You packed it all with me - with Brandon - also thanks - and we got it done. 52 years of “stuff” ready to go - no easy task! You were efficient and helped so much! Once you arrived at the new house on the other side of the country you moved everything in and helped put things together. Over and above the call of duty.(Connor every time I see a random thing in my mother’s new house I will think of us all trying to work out what the hell it was.) This is a company who cares!! AMAZING!Posted on Simon FravigarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mathew and Ozzy were so genuine in our move from collingham to nth Hykeham. Great banter and a joy to interact with. Credit to the team and worked realy well with each other today. 10 out of 10 for being genuine and great customer service. Many thanks guys Si and JulesPosted on Mick LakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great removals. Went the extra mile to accommodate us when dates changed at short notice. Cheerful guys on the job

Choosing the right removals company involves considering a few key factors.
First, check for accreditation; for example, members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring dependable service.
You’ll also want to review the services on offer, such as packing or storage, to ensure they meet all your needs.
Lastly, check customer reviews to get insight into other clients’ experiences, helping you understand the level of service you can expect.
Typically, payment is required by your moving date, which is standard for companies accredited by the BAR. This payment is covered by the BAR’s Advanced Payment Guarantee (APG), offering extra security for your move.
Tipping is entirely optional. While it’s appreciated, it’s not expected, and any amount should reflect what you feel is appropriate. Our team is committed to providing excellent service, whether or not a tip is given.
Yes, certain items cannot be moved due to safety reasons. These typically include flammable substances, lithium batteries, oil-based paints, and anything else that might endanger the load or vehicle.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, please don’t hesitate to ask us for clarification.
It’s recommended to book your move at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. During the busy summer months, aim for 8 weeks or more. Early planning gives you time to prepare everything and ensures your preferred moving date is available.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, please don’t hesitate to ask us for clarification.
One way to save on moving costs is to declutter before you pack. By reducing the volume of belongings, you’ll require fewer boxes, which can lower expenses. Plus, moving into a new space with less clutter can make settling in easier, especially if you’re downsizing.
