How a move works
Six steps, no surprises
The order is the same for a two-bed terrace in Hoole and a farmhouse outside Newtown. The difference is how many crew and which van, and that is decided at the quote, not on the morning.

“Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. From email contact to on the day moving, I could not have asked for more. Competitive pricing, reassurance about the size of vehicle required for my move and absolute smooth sailing for the packing and unpacking of my possessions. I'd highly recommend to all!”

georgia denton · June 2026 · Google review “Fantastic experience with Duffield Removals in a recent move. The office team were prompt in responding and always helpful. On the day, the moving team were efficient, professional, courteous and personable. Everyone was wonderful and made an incredibly stressful day as easy as possible. I would highly recommend!”
Michelle B · April 2026 · Google review “Very professional service. They were very efficient and did more than what is required especially dismantling and taking an extra bed to the garage. Would definitely recommend them!”
Jawahar Vibhishanan · December 2025 · Google review “Great service! Very friendly and polite, and the old fences and clutter from the garage is cleared! Highly recommend!”
Shahin Ali · August 2025 · Google review “I contacted Duffields for a removal quote, and from the getgo Paul and Leanne were friendly, efficient, helpful, and gave great advice. They were also considerably cheaper than the one other quote I received. I can recommend without hesitation.”
christine H · June 2025 · Google review “Brilliant service. Paul and Leanne were really responsive while we were dealing with a stressful house move, and Rowan and the team were amazing on the day. Would 100% recommend and use again!”
Emily Eccles-Tayton · November 2024 · Google review “Paul and his team were absolutely amazing, providing a spot on estimate of the work and volume for our move, swift and efficient emptying our house and accommodating and supportive when things didn't quite go according to plan moving into our new house. Would 100% recommend their services!”
Franziska Br · September 2024 · Google review “Got recommended Paul and his team by my manager and I could not be happier! We have moved two weeks now. Such a smooth experience!! Very professional. They have loaded everything in two hours, dismantled 2 beds and a table, strong armed the heaviest wardrobe ever above a handrail and down the stairs and replaced boxes that got open as well. They took extra care in protecting the furniture and the TV so it wouldn't be damaged and after half an hour lunch managed to get everything all set and done in the new house in just another pair of hours. They were extremely patient while we decided the layout and moved the Welsh dresser to another place when the first placement didn't work for us. I would definitely recommend them for anyone moving houses and will certainly be using them in the future. Many thanks from the Portuguese couple with the heavy box full of books!! 😁”
Mavelle Ealenyr · February 2024 · Google review “The service received during my parents’ recent move was quite simply outstanding. We opted for the ‘full package’ on their behalf. They were downsizing in a massive way so we booked packing, removals, house clearance (of items not going to new property) and the cleaning service in readiness for the new owners. Nothing was too much trouble for Paul and his team throughout the whole process, treating my elderly and sometimes quite confused parents with care and compassion throughout. As is often the case with house moves, the completion date changed several times and this was also happily dealt with by Paul. And all for an extremely reasonable price. I can recommend that you get in touch for any of their services - you will not be disappointed.”

“Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. The team were brilliant — incredibly efficient, hardworking and genuinely lovely to have around on what could otherwise have been quite a stressful day. Nothing was too much trouble and they really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. They took great care with everything and did a fantastic job throughout. I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly, professional, efficient and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much!”

Mick Case · November 2025 · Google review “Moving from Mid to South Wales, no issue with Duffields. Quick and responsive to queries, a very reasonable quote and Tom and Rowan were absolutely amazing on the day. Cannot fault them in any way. Thank you for making our move so stress-free.”
Jason Philpot · August 2025 · Google review “Fantastic service from Paul & the Duffield Removals team. The guys were punctual, extremely hard working, polite and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure I was happy with everything, and communication prior to, during and post move was A1. The move itself went smoothly and we were in well on time. Thanks again to everyone involved, would definitely recommend and use again.”
Paul graham · June 2025 · Google review “Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Paul and his team went above and beyond to make our house move as seamless and stress-free as possible.

We will 100% be recommending Duffield Removals to family and friends – thank you again! Maisie and Ben”
Maisie Prior · September 2024 · Google review “I had a pretty urgent situation as my mover cancelled on me just two days prior to the move. Deffield Removals jumped in, the guys arrived ahead of time and were very careful, quick, polite and pleasant. What was initially a very stressful situation for me became an enjoyable and easy day. Im very grateful and would 100% recommend them.”
Dina Roncevic · June 2024 · Google review “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Duffield Removals for their hard work involved in my elderly mother's move from Newtown Powys to Monmouth earlier this week. The team was efficient, careful and thorough. They were very patient and retained their good humour throughout. I also appreciated the prompt replies to my emails and the company's patience and reassurance in dealing with the constant change and uncertainty with regards our completion date. Thank you. I would happily recommend Duffield Removals.”
Gwenan Williams · March 2023 · Google review “Big thanks to Duffield Removals, they were very accommodating and helpful with our office move, excellent communications. A big shout out for their fabulous workers Mikey and Rowan, they were brilliant, they went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble, they cracked on and got the job done, brilliant. They were friendly and polite to boot, a real credit to Duffield Removals.”
Fleur Frantz-Morgans · June 2021 · Google review
“Simply the best service I could ever have wished for with my long distance house move. From the start, these guys were so kind, reliable and helpful. The team I had support my move could not have done more to make the whole process so smooth and easy! They were also so friendly and a joy to be around for the day. It was the hottest and longest day and they still all went above and beyond to help me, going the extra mile and doing it all with a smile! I was really nervous and stressed about my move but these guys made it all happen for me so easily. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could not recommend them more.”
Alex Legge · July 2026 · Google review “Fantastic service. Had a last minute screw-up from another moving company one day before I had to move (never book with online moving companies, people! Go local!), called Duffield Removals and they booked me in for a cross-country move with a house full of stuff, the next day. Saved me many tribulations. Driving was professional and safe, Tom helped me load and unload as well. Couldn't recommend more.”
Louis Samuel · May 2026 · Google review “Excellent removals company. Arrived on time, loaded up ready to go as we waited for keys. Everything unloaded just where we wanted it. Very friendly and helpful, took the strain on a very stressful day. Excellent communication, great price. Trust the experts !”
shaunsouthern · December 2025 · Google review “Have used this company for 3 jobs now and wouldn't use anyone else. The price is competitive and the service second to none. The boys are skilled in handling all types of removals and seem to make it their job to succeed, whatever the challenge. Paul himself is friendly and approachable on the phone and will do his best to accommodate. I would recommend this company to anyone considering moving, as nothing is too much trouble.”
Half Welsh · October 2025 · Google review “I needed furniture items removed from a property involving three flights of stairs after a tenant vacated without taking everything. From the initial contact with Duffields until the work was done earlier today I have nothing but praise. They were friendly, efficient and did exactly what was asked of them. Was I surprised? No, not at all. I have used them before and will do so again!”
Ann Lloyd · July 2025 · Google review “Worth every penny. Get them to view your property, don't rely on photographs alone. Took the stress out of our otherwise very stressful day. Would recommend Duffields and would use again ( although we've no intention of ever moving again😴).”
Mish Mosh · May 2025 · Google review “Would like to say a huge thank you to Duffield removals for helping my elderly parents with their move and clean. The team helped them not only move from house to house smoothly but also cleaned the previous house immaculately. They took the difficulty of moving away from my parents and the rest of the family making it stress free. Thank you again to the team for all their hard work!”
paul dobson · September 2024 · Google review “Paul and his team helped us to move house and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Such a stressful day but the move was smooth both out of our old house and in to our new house. They turned up on time and all worked really hard. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they did it with a smile on their faces. They do like cake so have cake ready. It is very well received! Highly recommend this company.”
Paul Chamberlain · April 2024 · Google review “We recently employed Duffield Removals for a house move and would like to recommend them for their, professionalism, integrity and hard working staff. Upon their arrival nothing was too much trouble, they listened to our needs and worked around us swiftly thus making the moving experience far less stressful than it could have been. They were careful with our belongings, covering things like beds, mattresses etc. to avoid any mishaps. The price that was quoted originally was stuck to even though they drafted in a third vehicle and 2 extra guys to assist. We cannot recollect witnessing a more hard working team from early morning until late evening. Paul Duffield who we dealt with arranged everything we required from the outset, boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap etc. l was happy to deal with such an honest, reliable & professional company.”
Barry Cank · November 2022 · Google review “Duffield removals helped us move the contents of our home from Hertfordshire into storage in Hereford. It took 3 vans and the staff worked incredibly hard, packed our possessions carefully and were very expertise at packing, filling the Luton Vans to the roof, ensuring everything was secure so that not a single item was broken or damaged on unpacking. Very competitive price and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
