Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Bristol, Bristol

Removal from London to Bristol

Coles were recommended to us by our neighbours who moved just before us and we would happily recommend them as well. It was a 2-step move with a week of storage in-between and all was handled professionally and empathetically given moving is a stressful time. Both legs of the move went very well and our belongings were well looked after during the week in storage. A big thanks to Tony, Darren, John and team.

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: £2500

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Edinburgh, Midlothian

London to Edinburgh 4 bedroom house.

Fixed price quote following a comprehensive survey.
A very good natured crew spent a couple of days packing up everything bar the essentials in our house in London. They were laughing and joking the whole time whilst also getting on with the not inconsiderable job. They came the next day, on what was the hottest day in Britain for XX years, and packed the enormous truck again very efficiently and with good humour. They were very friendly, respectful and happy to help kind of guys.
The house in Edinburgh was about half the size with a smaller door and hall and yet they managed to get it all in including a piano that I had had my doubts about.
This company was recommended to me by a workmate and I also did a forensic comparison between about 10 removal companies. They had the best combination of price, service and schedule. Another company was in the running until I noticed they would pack and load on day 1 , overnight drive up to Edinburgh then unload the next day which would have been an impossible schedule for us. Coles on the other hand took a couple of days to pack and allowed us a day to get up there before they delivered.
In the run up to the job I had loads of questions and Danny Jeakins very patiently re-assured me that all would be well.

I thoroughly recommend them.

Service cost: £5340

International move from Liverpool, Merseyside to Paris, Ile-de-France

Vienna-Liverpool-Paris.

Jon, Daniela and their teams are fantastic through and through. Having moved all over the world in the past 20 years and had my things broken, lost or been charged for services I didn't receive. J.A.Coles are not only a lovely set of people, but they also handled my possessions with dignity, to the highest of professional standards. They also have personality in abundance and made my experience almost stress free (a big thing when in transit between countries).
They come with my highest recommendations.
Thank you Jon, Daniela, Will, Darren and Tom.
See you next time,
Sarah.

Professional and excellent service.

J.A Coles team has moved my entire house from the UK to The Netherlands. We have received the perfect service at very competitive price.
Daniela has accommodated all my weird requests, assured me of possibility of all scenarios unimaginable and all my requests were fulfilled.
John arrived at my house a day earlier than scheduled to prepare and packed the majority of items very carefully and in an organised manner. This helped to reduce any pressure and John has made us feel assured. He stayed on site and managed the whole operation, it was smooth, quick and efficient.
The "boys" Sylvester and Conrad were amazing! Only a superhero can do what they have achieved! They not only carried and lifted heavy furniture but also packed and placed everything in order.
On the Dutch side it was even smoother! Great service, fantastic people! Highly recommend, thank you J.A Coles!

Move from London to France.

Have used Coles many times to move furniture for me and they are always terrific. Daniela is an excellent organiser and everything always arrives in perfect condition.
Most recent removal was from London to France. They did all the packing as well which was exceptional. Not one breakage and very friendly guys who arrived in France with the furniture.
I can definitely recommend them and will use them myself on my next move.

International move from London, Greater London to Montpellier, Grand Est

Moving from UK to the South of France.

Our move to the South of France could not have gone better. Firstly Geoff portrayed the quality of the company's services very accurately and Daniela very efficiently and kindly organized the scheduling and preparation of the move. On the day of the move, Karl led a team that treated our belongings as if they owned them. They were punctual, friendly and efficient. Finally, to top up a great experience, Darren and Karl delivered the move with a dedication beyond the call of duty (special thanks to these great gentlemen). 
Our thanks to the whole team at Coles for making this removal a fantastic and smooth experience. 
Kind regards to all. Guy & Nara C.

International move from London, Greater London to , NY

Move from London to New York.

My move from London to New York was very smooth.
So I would highly recommend J.A.Coles as a very experienced and helpful company with competitive prices. Office staff-expecially Ms Daniela and other co-workers are very polite and organized. They provide door to door service including all the process: packing, wrapping of furniture, container loading, shipping, export documentation, customs and delivery at destination. All the goods are packed carefully with special paper, bubble blankets or double-thickness cartons by professionals- Tom and others. Excellent job !
Big thank you to all at Coles.
Best regards
Margaret.

International move from , CA to Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

Just fab!

We've used Coles for a number of moves and storage requirements over the past 10 years both within the UK and abroad and they've always been fantastic. Great customer service from the start and really reliable, careful packers. Our possessions have always been taken care of..never any damages. We've been able to totally rely on them and that takes so much of the stress away from an otherwise stressful time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.

Local move within California

JA Cole review.

We moved from London to California, the third time we have made a trans Atlantic move. This last move was complicated by the fact that our new home build was over 14 months late, and storage time grew from a month to fifteen months.

From start to finish, Cole staff were professional, efficient, supportive and knowledgeable. It was reassuring to know they were always on top of things, and available in our moments of panic! Our furniture arrived intact and the staff at this end did a wonderful job offloading our possessions into our new home. After almost two years en route and in storage, we had only one cracked photo frame!
I would highly recommend JA Cole to those of you who need professional help during a move.

International move from , PA to London, Greater London

J.A. Coles Removals.

First of all, I am very impressed by the speed at which my stuff arrived in a container from USA to UK. IT took less than a month and with the help and encourangement of Daniela, I was able to ask for my Transfer of Residence (ToR) on time to avoid paying the tax or fines for storage! This is because we filed a request too late! The guys from J.A.Coles were very nice and the foreman was very nice and professional. Our stuff were very well handled - very gently lifted and placed in the right place despite I was the only one at home at the time. No confusion or chaos! Every furniture was put back (reassembled) professionally and well. Very happy with J.A.Coles.

Service cost: $9900
