Our move took place over two days. Jason, Chris, Adam, Lewis and Nick did a fantastic job. They were punctual, polite and calm throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. Jason arrived early and worked so hard to make sure that everything was in order. Thank you, Jason.

Mike and his team went over and above what we expected. Loading was very efficient but when we got to destination the lorry was too high to park on the property so they needed to carry everything a long way an onerous task. Even so they still offered to help us put stuff together. Highly recommended.Anne and Noel.

Excellent service from start to finish. Both the office and removal team were friendly, efficient and understanding… especially when we decided to move a lot of our possessions into storage at the last minute. Would highly recommend.

We have used Thomas Firbank multiple times over the last 10 years.They have made our moves easy even when it's a stressful day, and so taking the pressure off us that it will all go to plan. Kind team, always smiling and nothing surprises them!!Will always recommend them in a heartbeat.

My mum used Thomas Fairbank for her move into a new flat. The teamwere friendly and cheerful and crucially really calm throughout. Everything was packed carefully and they were quiet, organized, respectful and professional as they went about their work. When we arrived at the new property, we found out the lift was broken. This could have been a disaster but Mike and James spent hours carrying everything upstairs and managed to stay cheerful throughout. We were so grateful that they made the move so stress-free. Would definitely recommend.

I couldn't recommend Firbank Removals enough. We had the pleasure of Dan and Bobby helping us move, who were both incredibly professional and efficient.They had absolutely everything thought out, e.g. carpet protector for our new home (as it was tipping down with rain all day), tape to tape down drawers as they were being moved, and just how to arrange everything within the van so that it would all fit. They were so careful with our furniture - even with a couple of old wardrobes from IKEA that we had accepted would break if we tried to move them (we were prepared to get rid of them if they did!), but lo and behold they are still standing beautifully in our new home!If we move house again, I would absolutely rebook with Firbank Removals. Very fair prices too, compared to other companies. Thank you! 🙂

The team from Thomas Firbank Removals did an exceptional job, even getting the sofa in over the balcony when it wouldn't go up the stairs. They were professional and cheerful throughout the move. I would definitely recommend them and would book with them again.

This is the 4th time I've used Thomas Firbank for a full packing and moving service (over the last 22 years) and once again they were wonderful - polite, thoughtful, extremely hard-working and efficient and willing to go the extra mile to make the move as stress-free as possible. I'd never use anyone else.

Josh and his crew from Thomas Firbank Removals Ltd in Bath were fantastic. They were polite, respectful and careful with our belongings. This was the ‘least’ stressful move we’ve ever experienced so thank you!
Liz Hunter
1683644073
Very efficient, polite and friendly service. Arrived on time, checked what was needed and wrapped my sofa and chairs well. Covered stair carpet and used mat to protect floor. Worked hard and were very obliging. Not only can I recommend them, but will be using them again to move from storage units to house. Thank you
Mike James
1683479361
Mike, Brad & Lewis were an amazing crew to help with our move and worth every penny and then some!We had a pretty stressful build up to moving and when these arrived, all the stress just disappeared... they made everything so easy and we couldn't thank them enough for how relaxed they made us feel on what should've been a tough day. I had a hand injury at the time and they not only deconstructed our furniture at the old place and reconstructed it at the new place, they also made sure we didn't need to lift anything. We expected them to be only available to us for a few hours but when they told us we had them all day as necessary, the pressure just dropped.Honestly can't thank them enough - when we next move, we want these guys again!

Very happy with our removal experience with Thomas Firbank. They arrived promptly, only needed a little look around to plan and then got on with it. Two packed everything in the van carefully while one disassembled two beds. At the other end there were no issues with getting everything in the new house. All staff very polite and efficient. Would absolutely recommend.

We used Thomas Firbank to pack up a dining room, with a very large dresser full of glass and china and precious ornaments collected over many years, as we needed to turn the room into a bedroom at short notice. Mike and Josh were efficient, polite, helpful and went the extra mile to get it all sorted. Very happy to recommend them to others. Cheers chaps!

Thomas Firbank removals are excellent. They were extremely professional in providing a quote and making all of the arrangements for the move. All of their staff were unfailingly polite and helpful, and we were particularly impressed by the crew who completed our move for us. It was a long day in appalling conditions - the temperature never rose above freezing - but Jason, Luke and Lewis were helpful and cheery. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and I would not hesitate to recommend this firm. In fact, since we have moved into a short term rental, we will be using them again in about a year's time.

Choosing Thomas Firbank as our removal company has proved to be a great decision. The team led by Mark were a pleasure to have around. They were professional, hard working and efficient both packing us up and moving us up. We thoroughly recommend Thomas Firbank Removals.
Mike Socha
1669238674
We were very impressed with Thomas Firbank. We paid for a full packing and removal service over 2 days in October. The team had most of our house packed on Day One & finished this off on Day 2 with our move into our new home despite appalling weather.The whole team were friendly and approachable and made a stressful couple of days more bearable. We had a huge number of pictures and photographs to pack and we made it to the new home with only 2 breakages, which Thomas Firbank are paying to repair.Overall, a great service and we'd highly recommend them.
C J Norman

Have to say that the guys who moved us were terrific. Pitch black with no outside lights, driving rain. I said we could finish the next day but they were determined and got it done that evening, in great humour. Others came from further afield to help. Really impressed with the team.
Mark Frost

The actions of the whole team, from those in the office to those carrying out the move, reassured us at every step that satisfying our needs was their priority.Everyone was friendly and efficient, making the whole process of moving an easy one.When it comes time to move again, we will have no hesitation in using Fairbank’s again.

Our move was made easy by the amazing team we had to move us from the South West to Surrey. Nothing was too much trouble and we can highly recommend them.They were a happy team and when we were tired they made us laugh and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work. Thank you Thomas Firbank.

Our sixth move in over 40 years and by far the best. Excellent service. Nothing was too much for the staff team. Competitive quote. 'Master Removers' is not just a name, it is an appropriate title for Firbank and its partner companies.
Sarah Paterson

Recieved an excellent service from survey to completion. If in doubt, just go with them!They turned up early on the day and the local move was done by midday. Couldn't be happier with the service, especially for the price we paid.
Em K

Really impressed with the professionalism of the whole team. From the initial quote to managing dates, executing the move and storage to finally moving into our new home. The team worked extremely hard both packing our items and the end, unloading and moving them in. The quote was fixed at the start and there were no additions or hidden extras. I must admit they made, what is always a stressful occasion much more manageable and much less stressful. Thank you

We used Thomas Firbank removals to store our furniture whilst we were waiting to move into our new property. From the packing to the delivery the service has been exemplary. Our belongings were treated with the utmost of care and when it was time for it to come out of storage, The whole process from booking delivery to the actual delivery was very smooth. Jason and Mark turned up nice and early and were so efficient. They took great care of the walls and carpets as well. No job was beyond them and they were really polite and friendly. I believe they went beyond what was required of them, happily moving anything I asked them toI highly recommend this company for all your storage and removals!

The service provided by the Master Removers Group was second to none.Thomas Firbank carried out the initial survey with a personal visit, and provided the quotation. It was by far the most comprehensive and professional of all we received. Not the cheapest, but the one that gave me greatest confidence.Our move out was complicated by the fact that we had a lot of stuff, including a multitude of pot plants, and a long curving driveway, which made access by a large vehicle impossible.The plan was based on spreading the move out over two and a half days, and one and a half days into the new house, with all packing and materials included in the price.The actual move was carried out by Johnson’s of Shaftesbury, another member of the Master Removers Group, as all of them work in partnership. Mark and his team carried out the job very efficiently, with great good humour and courtesy, using one medium sized van and three smaller ones.To complete a great experience, there was no pressure to return packing materials, unlike some others, and the company will make one return visit to collect everything I want to recycle with no time constraint.This was my tenth move in the last fifty years (hopefully the last), but by far the best in every respect.

Very efficient, really nice team of removers, nothing was too much trouble and they were very polite, tidy and well organised. They turned up on time, worked methodically, packed everything brilliantly and nothing was broken or damaged. When it came to unloading they made the whole experience of deciding where to put things stress free and moving things was no problem at all. Overall definitely value for money (and a better price than other quotes we got) and a fantastic team. We would certainly recommend Thomas Firbank to others!

Can’t recommend this company highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble and they certainly did their best to reduce the stress from what is essentially a highly stressful experience.

They showed endless patience, especially when I forgot to tell them about things they moved which were meant to stay - they took them straight back in a very good humoured way!

We have used Thomas Firbank before and so the firm was our first choice. We were quite right. Their surveyor was efficient and helpful, arrangements were made speedily, and the crew turned up on time. The crew were exceptionally good: we explained how the various boxes should be labelled and they followed our instructions to the letter. They were polite, careful and remarkably quick, both in loading and unloading. Firbank is an impressive firm and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

We would definitely recommend Thomas Firbank Removals. They were very professional, helpful and polite. It was nice to be able to use a local firm and they were no more expensive than the national companies. The team who came out to pack and do the removals were fantastic - very friendly, reassuring, hard-working and careful with our belongings. We felt as if nothing would be too much trouble for them. There was only a slight mix-up in the office diary with the final day, which was quickly sorted out. Overall, the whole team really helped to make the move as stress-free as it could be, and if we ever moved again we would certainly go back to them.

Thomas Fairbank removals were superb, all the way from the initial contact and quote to the packing and removal. We had several quotes for our move and I would’ve chose Thomas Firbank on that initial contact alone. Tom was professional, polite and open - he stated that they weren’t the cheapest, but in my view you get what you pay for. The team who did our pack and move were top notch, 3 of them made short work of our rather cluttered 3 bed. All the packaging was provided and breakables were packaged very well. Tom popped in to see how the move was going and have a chat. It’s good to see the company take a genuine interest I can’t recommend them highly enough and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Jane Whatley
1579075089
This company really saved me last Thursday. My related chain was a complete nightmare and I was unable to book Thomas Firbank until the day before our move. We had 3 lorries and 8 of the most polite, hard working and careful men that ever there are. HIGHLY recommended.
Karen McCloud
1578329003

Paul Goodwin
1575887663
They were excellent - turned up on time - they were polite, were quick and efficient loading up and unloading. We had some issues which meant some delays on the day, but the guys took this in good humor and without issue.Would highly recommend.
Keith Browning
1574874472
We were very pleased with the removal which was staged over 2 days. The removal men were friendly, quick and generally careful: there were only minor scrapes to 2 items of furniture. The only reason for not awarding 5 stars overall was that we needed to be vigilant to ensure that they took what we considered to be the necessary precautions to protect floor surfaces, although I acknowledge that we are fussy in this regard. We would consider using this company again if we move again although we hope the need will not arise.
Chris Deverell

We recently moved from a very large townhouse in Bath with Thomas Firbank. They weren't cheap, but they did an absolutely amazing and fast job. Their many staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, responding cheerfully and positively to our endless requests.
