Posted on Marian WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would definitely use F Smith and Son again. Collection and delivery men were friendly and courteous. Our items were only in storage a short while, but all items seem fine. The company were easily contactable and answered queries very quickly. The contract was a little difficult to follow, but we managed. Thank youPosted on MCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used F Smith back in October 2024 to move from a 4 bedroom house into temporary accommodation for 8 months (we were having a full house renovation so needed to completely move out). We also used their packing service. We were so happy with the experience that we booked them a second time, with the packing service, in June 2025 to move us back to our newly renovated home. Lee was our lead both times (I requested him for the second time!) and he was absolutely brilliant. Lee and team were professional at all times and very efficient. I was a bit nervous about the whole packing and moving but their friendly and approachable manner put me at ease. I would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend their services. Since I'm reasonably local, I was able to keep the empty boxes and have them pick them up for reusing; they were happy to do this and I wasn't stuck with a load of empty boxes to dispose of!Posted on Abhaya SethuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. F Smith & Son were incredible and made my moving process as smooth as possible. Not only were they very speedy, they were also professional and friendly. They handled all my furniture with care. Very happy with their service!Posted on Adam GoodsellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. F Smith and Son were brilliant throughout. Considering the last minute booking, the packing and removals service was brilliant. Though the quote was reasonably priced also. Big shout out to Thomas who packed up the flat the day before the move. Would highly recommend.Posted on Lucie BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from F Smith & Son from start to finish We had many, many months prior to our move with constantly changing dates and they were ever patient and helpful with each update, keeping us informed of availability. And when we finally moved, the team was professional, and incredibly efficient as well as friendly & amenable. Everything was handled with great care, making the whole moving process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable removal company.Posted on Michael DayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The more went very smoothly and efficiently. With everything put in the right place and no breakages or issues.Posted on Charley MarsdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from start to finish. Personable and professional. Fully recommendPosted on Sam JolyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service! All of the staff (from those I spoke to over the phone and email to book, as well as the packing and removal crew) were extremely nice, and very helpful. I will definitely use them again the next time I move, and would highly recommend.Posted on Michael HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not be happier with this company. I had requirements that dictated a ‘bit’ of extra attention and service than the packages offered under more ‘normal circumstances’ when booking a removal company. I had only 4 days to arrange everything without pictures of anything I needed removing. There wasn’t any kind of survey and as indicated, a completely unreasonable amount of time to do it in! I contacted them and I explained my ‘situation and requirements’ and I was instantly eased by Jane, explaining that they would do what they can to help me - including staying within my financial constraints as well as everything else. Jane was brilliant - took as many details as possible, Lorraine and David then went over and above by giving different options - again within my ‘different’ restrictions and somehow arranged it all and delivered EVERYTHING they promised, with precision. On the day, the two gentleman got there before me! The vehicle used was clean and presentable, already parked in the most convenient place and they were ready to crack on, having already made contact with the owner of the property from which my belongings were being taken. Charlie and Reece packed, moved, stored everything in great time (I had a lot of fragile ‘tut’, which has no value other than to me) and made sure everything they did, was done in completely the right way. The property owner had the cheek to ask them to speed things up at one point, but both Charlie and Reece kindly explained they were ensuring their clients belongings were looked after and the requirements, as per their agreed ‘instructions’, were being contractually fulfilled. Frankly, they were brilliant. At the other end, they re-stacked the unit with the belongings already in there, again safely and making sure as much as possible was accessible, unloaded the vehicle and then stored everything else into a unit that, if I’m honest, is probably too small, but they did it - still ensuring nothing was damaged and is stored securely. In addition to their already 5star service, there were other people seemingly having an inability to stack things on a trolley without everything falling off in the middle of the walkways - this happened three times lol - rather than standing and watching them pick it up (like most of today’s society would nowadays), they jumped to it, help re-stack someone else’s things and even walked with them to make sure it gets where it needs to go. Both in their early twenties, but seemed to have been raised the right way and are an asset to any company they represent. Cannot speak highly enough of this firm, from start to finish - 5 STAR. Thank you :-).
These are just a few of the many positive reviews that F Smith & Son Removals & Storage has received. The company has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews.
