Calum & the team are fantastic. They made my move as smooth & stress free as possible. Mark, Joshua & Anthony worked so hard on moving day. From the moment they entered my house they were so professional. They dismantled furniture where needed & put it back together again at the other end. Everything was put in the correct rooms to unpack. I would highly recommend forest removals. Thanks all ❤️

Forest Removals we’re brilliant. From day one meeting Callum for a house visit to helping with our furniture drop off to the auction house, they were excellent throughout. Even getting our couch out our narrow door didn’t slow then down!!! Our move took us from Lancaster to Inverness and the guys were professional to the end even after dark.I would definitely recommend them and should I need to move again they will be my first call.

Forest Removals is the gold standard in removals companies. They made our move an absolute pleasure from start to finish. All the team were professional, friendly, diligent and polite, not to mention expert in packing and furniture manoeuvres.I would like to call out their expert packing service. We couldn’t have packed our possessions ourselves any better. They took all the stress away and actually made the two days they were with us a lot of fun.We would highly recommend them, and indeed we suggested to them that they put their prices up because they were SO good.

Response from the owner 19:57 02 Apr 25

I found the whole experience with Forest Removals to be outstanding. Right from the initial phone call to arrange the removal, their customer service was excellent and they went above and beyond with everything. They were always contactable even late on in the evening and they took a lot of the pressure off prior to the move. On the day, Calum, Mark and Josh were fantastic. They turned up on time and were friendly, polite and worked extremely quickly and efficiently to get me moved from one house to the other. They took great care to ensure that my belongings and items were looked after and that there was no damage done to anything. I would totally recommend Forest Removals for anybody wishing to move house. Richard (Lancaster)

We had quite a long distance move - from Heysham to Gloucestershire. The guys were incredible. On time, professional but, most importantly for us, so friendly. They honestly de-stressed a stressful move! Highly recommend Calum and his crew.

Calum and the team are quite amazing people. Made our move that was supposed to be hectic as light as possible.Even brought covers to protect our delicate items, hang clothes that we didn’t want squeezing, covers for our carpets and brought boxes for us to put our light stuffs inside.Can’t thank you all enoughWill 100 percent recommend

Claire Griggs

EXCELLENT. Calum, Adele, and the Team were AMAZING from start to finish, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. All communications were answered quickly, the quote was competitive, and nothing was too much trouble. I have moved a couple of times in the past, and hands down, this is the best experience I have had. On moving day itself, the team packed up my home far quicker than I expected, which made the whole experience far easier and less stressful than anticipated. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thank you all so much for such a brilliant service, it is very much appreciated.

I was incredibly impressed with the whole team from start to finish. The lads arrived on time and completed the move efficiently and with great care. They kept me informed at all times and answered any questions I had.Arranging the move was easy and a competitive quote was provided. I particularly liked the rapid responses on WhatsApp and the ability to take videos/pictures to show the team what items needed moving.I would not hesitate to recommend Forest Removals, you really won't find better! Thanks again to the whole team and please keep up the excellent work!

I recently used Forest Removals to move from Cumbria to West Yorkshire. The service they provided was seamless from start to finish. I found them to be very helpful and responsive, throughout the quote, booking, and moving process.The team was friendly, respectful and arrived on time, providing updates as to their location when our home was in transit, which I found provided peace of mind!I can't recommend them highly enough. And no doubt I will use them again for a stress free move.Well done team, it was an impeccable service throughout!!!!

Can’t recommend Callum, Adele and the team highly enough. Very clear communication right from our initial quote through to the last item coming into the flat. They took great care packing everything, and made the day as smooth and stress free as possible. Thanks!

What a lovely bunch of people! So friendly, calm and hardworking. They stayed longer than planned and went the extra mile to help us out. We'd definitely use these guys again. Thank you for everything.

Russ Mullen

Calum, Adele and the team were absolutely fantastic! We were moving from Sussex up to Lancashire so, logistically it was quite a challenge but it never seemed like too much trouble for Calum. Despite some awful traffic on the way up, which meant the van didn't get to the new house until about 8pm, they never rushed to get things in and still made time to reassemble the bed at almost 9pm!The real heroics came after as our sofa wouldn't fit up the stairs and Calum and Adele were convinced they could winch it in through the first floor french doors. Sure enough, they were right (picture evidence provided)and they got the whole thing in just a couple of days after the initial move.All in all, they were superstars, and would recommend them in a heartbeat! Thank you!

We found Callum and his team excellent- friendly, efficient, careful, and no aspect of our move seemed a problem for them, even moving an extremely heavy piano! We would fully recommend. H&F Roe

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. They did everything they promised - answered all of our questions before moving day, arrived on time, removed the stress on the day, nothing was too much trouble, even wrapped up some fragile items for us.Callum and the boys were polite, friendly, professional, respectful and fun. They made the whole process a painless experience. We're SO glad we booked them for our move - worth every penny! Thank you to the whole team 😄

Michele Gaspar

Couldn’t ask for a better service.Excellent communication from start to end.Very supportive when our completion date was constantly changing.Helpful, friendly team, nothing was too much and on moving day, worked non-stop to get the job done including taking some of our stuff to a storage unit.Competitive pricesWould highly recommend this company and will use again if I move in the future.
