I cannot recommend Jorvik Removals enough. When making the booking, staff were friendly and helpful, and happy to answer any questions I had. On the day of the move itself, Simon and Jack were brilliant - professional, careful, and very time efficient. They made the whole experience completely stress free. I will definitely use Jorvik for any future moves.

Quite simply a brilliant, professional team who did what they said, when they said at a competitive price. If you're moving home or have storage needs then I highly recommend

Fantastic from start to finish We moved last month from York to Sherburn in Elmer. The team were really efficient. They packed the day before and even managed to get some of the contents loaded. On move day they worked tirelessly to get loaded up and unloaded as well as assembling the furniture. They made sure it was all in the correct rooms and in the right position for us to save us having to move it again. Fantastic would highly recommend, saved so much time and stress

Jorvik carried out a house removal for us a month ago - a five-bedroomed house in York, moving to Malton. It was a very big job, with an immense amount of packing (especially a collection of several thousand books), and with some pieces of furniture that were unusually challenging. They could not have been more professional, polite, and diligent. Melissa, who inspected our property, was lovely - and meticulous in her assessment of the job.

And Melvyn and his team of removers were excellent: punctual, efficient, unflappable, tireless, and refused to give up - even when we said they should abandon some aspects of the job as unfeasible (they found a way of doing it!). I wouldn't hesitate for a moment in recommending anyone in the area planning a house move to pick up the phone and call Jorvik.

Jorvik Removals did a fantastic job for us! They were prompt and professional. We had a team of 5, who were all very hard working, courteous and did the job with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We highly recommend their services! Thank you very much. Bev Miller. Guest Walker Solicitors. York

Really pleased with the service we received from Jorvik, despite it being an incredibly busy time for them. The guys worked really hard and took good care of our belongings both during the move and whilst in storage. Melissa was really lovely and a delight to communicate with, she's very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend them to anyone moving!

Best quote we got after getting 3 quotes. Great support before the move and even though things were delayed on the day because of the solicitors the team never complained just worked hard all day and got the job done to a great standard. Professional and easy to get on with. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

We moved from London to York in January 2021, the removal service was excellent. The date of our house completion constantly changed but Melissa patiently helped us organise a removal date. On the day of the move the lads arrived in London bright and early and packed the van. The experience was stress free (I had been dreading the move) they packed up and delivered to out new place the following morning. I would definitely recommend Jorvik removals.

Absolutely impeccable service. The three chaps that did the removal were professional and courteous. They worked like greased lightning but were so careful with all our furniture and valuables. I honestly didn't think it would be such an efficient yet thorough service, given the price we paid. I cannot rate this company high enough. The only regret, in hindsight, is that I should have paid the extra for their full packing and boxing service. Given the quality of the removal work, I'm sure they would have done a great job.

We couldn't have asked for better on our moving day. The lady in the office was helpful and informative when we enquired and the team that moved us were on time, mega quick at packing and unpacking, remained professional throughout the day but were friendly and had a sense of humour to go with it. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for helping our day go as smooth as it did!

We couldn't recommend Melissa and her team enough. They literally saved our bacon. During this absolute nightmare of coronavirus kicking off they turned up to move me from Manchester to North Yorkshire. They were punctual, friendly and professional. They did a proper job. We don't know what we'd have done without them. Thank you so much Mel

Jorvik removals literally saved us this weekend after three cancellations! They were so professional and considerate and the guys who came did not stop all day, they really did graft and made our move so stress free. Melissa went above and beyond to help us at very very short notice and she didn’t falter. An amazing company who we will certainly be recommending in the future. Thanks to everyone involved.

Thank you so much! Amazing service! We didn’t give Jorvik removals much notice and they still managed to fit us in! Nothing was too much trouble! Melissa was professional and nothing was too much trouble for her. My grandad is 93 and they took all the stress away for him and us. Very very highly recommend Jorvik removals & storage to anyone! Thank you

Very professional can recommend highly. Jorvik did a brilliant job handling delicate items and dismantling large furniture through tight access. Seemed like everything was packed in no time at all. Great, fast service, best Removals in york area thanks Jorvik

Massive thank you to the team. We ended up having to use these guys for 2 moves including storage. Nothing was too much trouble, great communication throughout, affordable and arrived when they said. Would definately recommend! Thanks again.
Dale Minks
Very good service and a sound hard working team (including Gary, McCauley and Matt) led by Melissa and Melvyn. Very much reduced the stress of moving for us. We had a lot of delicate goods and as far as I can tell all were taken good care of. They really worked hard. Only other comment was they couldn't fit two single beds in upstairs bedroom and swapped them with a double bed.

Later I found a door stopper was the problem and re-swapped the beds myself. However another removal company wanted next door's carriage lamp taking down due to narrow entrance. Yorvik sent two smaller vans, so problem solved. Highly recommended at a stressful time for anyone moving.
Daniel Clark
I have used this company for 2 house moves now 1 long distance move & once locally I can not fault them at all I have a lot of antique furniture & fragile valuable possessions they packed the house up with great care & everything ran smoothly. Very experienced staff who are all polite and don't mind going the extra mile. Highly recommend Jorvik removals if you want a stress free move
Alun Parsons
Absolutely cannot praise these guys enough. Cheap and quick, what more do you want? From the friendly Melissa rearranging things to fit me in, to the 2 helpful, fast and efficient lads that came to help me move. I found the experience totally stress free and would recommend them above anyone else. Thanks so much guys
Adam Flanagan
Really great service efficient and friendly would highly recommend everything went totally smoothly. What more can I say 5* love our new home cheers guys
Diane Thompson
Jorvik removals, the "boys" and Melissa made my home move in January stress free. They were all helpful professional and friendly. From initial phone call to storage of items I've yet to sort out they have been very helpful. The boys arrived at the time they said they would and ensured my belongings were delivered safely and carefully to my new home.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing removal services, they will help should any dates be changed and then back again !!! I self packed my items, but Melissa arranged for boxes for me to use. The boys placed my labelled boxes in the rooms requested - I was unable to be at my new home waiting for the van, but my elderly father and sister said they were brilliant. So a very big thank you for helping me and making my move a success and I'm coming to empty stored boxes very soon ha ha. Thanks

Becky Barrick
Jorvik Removals moved us on 8th December. Not only a very reasonable priced quote but the guys were great. Really worked hard at fitting everything in for one trip and provided a friendly, efficient service. Melissa was friendly, polite and always available if anything needed clarifying before the move. Would definitely recommend.
