How are our appointments carried out
In the current times you might prefer that we don't visit your house in person to carry out a survey. This is fully understandable and we can just as easily undertake the survey by video call, using whatever method you're comfortable with, usually FaceTime or WhatsApp.

They went over and above
I’d highly recommend Britannia Bradshaws for a move, especially Bart and Mark who were amazing when my parents moved house recently. They were professional and friendly, and took a lot of care moving and transporting their belongings. They listened to my parents needs and worked really efficiently over 2 days. Bart and Mark really made what can be quite a stressful time much easier. They went over and above, even coming back out for an extra item which was really appreciated.
Thank you

I provided an itemised list of things, but in hindsight a video survey would’ve been better. Perhaps I should’ve had this suggested to me at the point of quote
