Jonnie&ZohraPosted on Hayley MeagherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peglers were perfect for our house move. Patient and understanding with the unknown date for months, accommodating with arrangements. On the day they were quick, efficient and light humoured. Paying for the service of disassembly and reassembly of wardrobes and beds was completely worth it. Highly recommend these guys (and girl) were wicked!Posted on Jeremy SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with this company. Prompt, friendly and thorough - great! One piece of advice is to definitely use the Pegler cardboard boxes and tape. They are much stronger and more stackable than what we found on Amazon. We re-packed when we got the Pegler ones.Posted on Jackie RodhouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They worked like machines, so friendly and funny, took the stress of the moving right away. Prices were very good too. We can’t praise them all enough.Posted on jeffrey greenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we moved last Friday, been so busy I forgot to leave a review, but feel I need to do so today, my wife and I would like to thank the whole team for making a stressful day go so smoothly, thanks to Mike for popping around and going over the move with us and chatting over old days, of my family and Mike's, and a big THANKS to the lads on the day, professional, efficient, they even moved wardrobes for us that were left behind they were great, if you ever need to move, call these guys, once again THANK YOU.Posted on Isabell MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired Peglers for a move from Upminster to Braintree. Michael came round and did an in person inspection. He was friendly, personable and very reassuring about what was needed for the move so decided to go with them after getting multiple quotes. On the day the guys came around at the agreed time and got us all packed up in about 2 hours. At the other end they worked quickly and got us fully moved in by mid afternoon. Despite the very chilly weather all the guys were in good spirits, very friendly and helpful. There was also some very impressive driving to get the massive truck through some very narrow roads at both ends!! Good communication throughout and would definitely recommend.Posted on Jack HardyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Pegler Removals highly enough. From start to finish, their team provided an outstanding service, demonstrating professionalism, efficiency, and an exceptional work ethic! Thank you!Posted on Mark HucksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael and team were incredibly helpful and reassuring throughout a painfully delayed and confused exchange and completion process. In the end, due to the last minute exchange we followed Michael’s advice and used an alternative supplier, but Michael never gave up on us and ensured he had a solution for us even in a challenging week. I was really impressed by the care and thought given, above and beyond. I’m genuinely disappointed we did not get over the line with all our belongings in a Peglers lorry! Great value quote too. Thanks all.

1. How far in advance should I book my move with Pegler Removals?
We always recommend booking as early as you can, ideally once you know your moving date. This is especially important during busy periods such as summer, school holidays, or the end of the month, when demand is at its highest. By booking in advance, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing your date is secured and your move is fully planned. That said, we understand life doesn’t always run to schedule. If you find yourself needing to move at short notice, give us a call — we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.
2. Can you handle both local and long-distance moves?
Yes. Pegler Removals has been helping families and businesses move locally, nationally, and across Europe for decades.

Every move, no matter the distance, is carefully planned to ensure your belongings arrive on time and in perfect condition.
3. Do you provide packing services as well as moving?
We do. Packing can be one of the most stressful and time-consuming parts of moving, which is why we offer a professional packing service. Our trained team will carefully wrap, box, and protect your belongings using specialist packing materials designed to keep everything safe — from books and clothing through to delicate glassware and artwork. If you’d rather pack yourself, we can supply high-quality boxes, tape, and wrapping paper, along with advice on the best way to pack.
4. How are my belongings protected during the move?
Your belongings are always our top priority. We use padded blankets, protective covers, wardrobe cartons, and secure strapping systems inside our vehicles to keep everything safe and secure in transit. Furniture is wrapped to prevent scratches or dents, and fragile items are packed with additional cushioning. Our fleet of vehicles is fully equipped to handle moves of every size, giving you complete confidence that your possessions are in safe hands.
5. What about fragile or high-value items?
We specialise in handling delicate, valuable, or awkward-to-move items. Whether it’s antiques, pianos, glass tables, or fine art, we’ll use tailored packing techniques and, where necessary, custom-built crates to ensure maximum protection. Our team has the skill and experience to move these items carefully and safely, so you can relax knowing they’ll arrive in perfect condition.
6. Are you insured?
Yes. Pegler Removals is fully insured, which means your belongings are covered throughout the moving process. We know every move is different, so we also offer additional insurance options if you’d like extra reassurance. Our friendly team will happily guide you through what’s included and what further cover might be useful depending on the items you’re moving.
7. Can you help with office or commercial moves?
Absolutely. We work with businesses of all sizes, from small offices to large corporate relocations. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible, minimising downtime and disruption so your team can get back to work quickly. From handling sensitive IT equipment and filing systems to large furniture and specialist machinery, our commercial moving service is tailored to your business’s exact requirements.
8. Do you offer storage?
Yes, we provide secure, flexible storage for both short-term and long-term needs.

You can rest easy knowing your belongings are protected until you’re ready for them to be delivered.
