Report
We used this firm recently and we cant recommend them enough, we underestimated how much we had to move however they accommodated us and had us packed and unpacked in the same day, they even provided us with a few extra hands during the unpacking, thank you all so much, thoroughly appreciated all the help given.

Report
A house move is often thought of as one of the most stressful things you can do. Yet with T R Callan, it ended up being an enjoyable experience. From the initial assessment, reassuring words were given, despite our concerns about the volume of things we had accumulated over the years - we were told it wouldn't be a problem. Several of the team came out to pack our things the day before the move - it was so straightforward - I'd definitely recommend paying extra to have your treasures packed - all with a smile and cheery banter.
Then came the day of the move - again nothing a problem, even when our house purchase was delayed and our possessions had to go into storage - it was all taken in their stride
I don't often write reviews but felt compelled to do so after this fantastic experience - Well done team - everyone from the people in the office right through to the removal guys are a credit to the business.
