What a very personable, very professional crew Ballards provided for our move. The guys obviously enjoy their job, taking great care and looking unhurried, but somehow managing it all with speed. Took all our stress away. Fantastic.

Hi there. Just a message concerning our removals on the 4th and 5th December. Our crew-Ian Sadler, Dave Talbot, Bradley Leech and Will went out of their way to make sure our move went as smoothly as possible. They had awful weather, a difficult drive over The Peak District and still were obliging and cheerful whilst moving our belongings. Great team!

Ballards have just moved us into our new home in Nottingham. The provided the ‘pack up’ service. Brilliant service, very helpful, arrived promptly and were very careful with our possessions. Mark and the team were very efficient in unloading to the new house. They were a very friendly team. Would thoroughly recommend.

Ballard’s removed all of our furniture from our house into their storage facility with great professionalism and a friendly service. Although we thought it would be with them for a few weeks due to several mishaps our chattels remained with them for 6 months. We eventually moved onto our new property this week and Ballard’s arrived spot on time as arranged and very carefully unloaded our 4 containers into the appropriate rooms in our bungalow. This they did again professionally, efficiently and with a friendly smile. We have since unpacked and everything was as we left it, not one breakage. Thank you so much for all your help. We would 100% recommend Ballard’s for all your removals and storage.

Free pre-move survey

We're on hand to answer your questions, without the cost

Buying a house is expensive enough, so we ensure that there are no hidden costs with Ballards!

We’ll visit you in your home before your move day to discuss your exact requirements, and our experienced estimator will carry out a pre-move survey, completely free of charge.

There's no cost, no catch! From there, we’ll give you a written, fixed-price quotation which won’t budge on price. 

If you’d rather do this digitally, that's also no problem! We can carry out virtual video surveys, which is ideal if you’re looking for a quote while you’re away from home, or strapped for time.
