Ian and Sons Removals - Southend-on-Sea

Helen D.

I would highly recommend Ian and Sons removals after a great experience with them today. I was quickly booked in for a wardrobe collection and delivery and the price was very reasonable. Narrow staircases in both houses meant the team had to dismantle and put the wardrobe back together again, which they did very quickly and efficiently despite not being booked in to do that. They are a very friendly and professional team and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and recommend to others. Thank you very much!

Very happy with the service I received from Ian & Sons Removals. They were recommended by my son & daughter-in-law who used them when they moved into their own home recently. I only used them to pick up two appliances from my friend and take to my son. Very professional and would have no hesitation recommending them - Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn’t recommend Ian and Sons enough, arrived very prompt on the day of our move and very efficient loading everything up and dismantling items etc. really great with unpacking too, putting our sofa, putting everything where asked.

Also Ian helped plumb in our washing machine which was really nice and helpful!

Really nice friendly guys - and very competitive in price.

Service from these guys was top tier. Would give six stars if that was an option. Turned up on time and got to work with no messing around. Couldn't believe how fast they got everything safely stowed away and that included dismantling two desks and a bed frame! Unload at the other end was just as easy. They even made sure the desks were adjusted to the right height for us.

Nothing damaged, nothing lost, just friendly flawless service.

Hopefully I'm not moving again anytime soon, but if I do, I know who I'll be calling to make it happen.

If you’re looking for a stress free move then you’re looking at the right company .

Ian & Sons are a friendly professional service , they’re trust worthy ,hard working & they won’t let you down.

From the first visit to price up our move we knew Ian was the man for the job he’s such a nice guy & so genuine , which is hard to find these days .

His son Billy was also brilliant on moving day & there were 2 other guys Tye & Dean who also worked their socks off .
Not forgetting Tina in the office who was also brilliant with all communication & booking in dates etc .

It was a stress free move & an absolute pleasure to have Ian & Sons move us- Big Thankyou to the whole team , your the best ⭐️

I would 100% recommend to anyone , your in safe hands here

We booked Ian & Sons to move our home’s contents out of our home in late June into a storage unit, due to the buyer of our home completing before we could complete on ours.
Billy and the team were amazing… polite, easy to get along with & really friendly! They did a great job & I could not fault them on that day.
We had booked Ian & Sons for the 2nd 1/2 of the move, which was this past Friday - our completion day on our new home. We made this booking with a deposit, 10 days in advance.
I had communicated with them the day before (Thursday), and advised them that I’d meet the team at the unit for 8.30am. The commute for us from our home to the unit is 1 hour, so we left early to ensure we arrived on time. At 08:00 when I was 20 mins away from the unit, I got a call from the team.
She advised me that due to an injury, the original team member/driver was unable to attend, and so they’d secured a “cover” for our booking… well, he pulled out of the job 10 minutes before they called me.
Therefore, they couldn’t do the job. They did confirm they could do it the following day at a reduced cost (Saturday/yesterday). However, respectfully, we’d booked a day annual leave off work for this move, and it would have meant we would have NO furniture for that evening…
So, I immediately began calling alternative removal companies and thankfully found a team who could do it… at more of a cost then Ian & Sons of course, but this was a last minute call and we had no other reasonable option… that company we had who saved us were AMAZING.
For this to be an honest review, I have to add that after we secured the booking with Ian & Sons 10 days in advance of the move, a week before it, they’d asked us to move the date to the Saturday due to another job they’d received in (the day they said they could do it at a reduced cost). We had advised no, because Friday was to be the day we physically moved in & we’d booked time off work for it. They stated they understood and there was no problem with the original booking.
Therefore, regrettably, the medical injury & “cover”, did sound less believable and massively convenient for them as it meant they could then attend to the other job which caused them to ask to move our job a week ago. You do want to think the best in people, but unfortunately, we had lost faith in the team at that point & struggled to comprehend that the reasons for cancelling 20 mins before as a truthful statement.
Like I say, Billy & the team were brilliant and couldn’t fault them in the first 1/2 of the move… but due to letting us down 20 minutes before the job starts… I would not use them again, or recommend them to friends / family.

From start to finish Ian and his team exceeded expectations. They worked really hard and I was amazed how quickly they packed everything up . The team were polite and very professional I would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s moving!

I have used this company a few times now with moving house and recently again with a set up for a wedding show.
Very reliable and friendly guys and good prices.
Would definitely use again 👍🏻
