Latest Reviews
Excellent !! Got a quote as they had been recommended by a friend. Quote was comparable to others received, maybe slightly higher overall but being recommended we went with them and didn't regret it. Pete, Kieran, Dean and Jordan worked really hard all day after a colleague went home ill. Arrived 7.45 and didn't leave the new house until over 11 hours later yet nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely use them again.

There isn't one aspect of the service that Franklin's provided that I could criticise. Contact with Ben in the office was kept simple, brief and to the point, as it should be. The flow of information and ever changing paperwork requirements was never over-complicated and covid 19 /Brexit didn't interfere with the process of getting the contents of our home at the very bottom of France up to the Derbyshire Peaks, bang on time and all in one piece. The guys doing the hard work, Lee, Simon and Pete were fantastic. Polite, professional and passionate about their work, all of which serves to ease any worries you may have during what can be a very stressful experience. I heartily recommend Franklin's Removals and will use them in the future if and when the need arises

Franklins made moving from France back to England so much simpler helping us every step of the way. Having agreed the sale of our house in October, due to Covid lockdown delays the move wasn’t possible until after Brexit. Despite having their own problems coping with all the new import requirements and paperwork for all their moves after Brexit, the personal service received from Ben Franklin was outstanding. Ben sourced all the mountain of paperwork needed for HMRC and supported us with the task of completing it. On moving day, Lee and Simon turned up on the dot as agreed: they were friendly and personable, quickly and efficiently completing the removal. Due to a delay in our house purchase everything had to go into storage, and we were delighted to get a call from Ben to reassure us that it had all got through customs and had arrived safely at their depot. So pleased we chose Franklins for our move.<br><br>The delivery of our belongings from storage, which was the second part of our move from France to England was completed just as carefully and efficiently as the first. The team liaised with our daughter, who was waiting to see the furniture in, regarding their arrival time so that she didn't have to wait around at the empty house unnecessarily. She said that Kieran, Pete and Dean were great - quick, friendly and efficient - and they did lots of little things (like sorting wires out so that she could plug appliances in easily) that made her day so much more manageable. Thanks again to the wonderful team at Franklins, we would highly recommend them for a stress-free house move.

A huge THANK YOU to the team at Franklins! Moving to France during the Covid pandemic and Brexit, created a myriad of additional complications, from endless bits of paperwork to satisfy French customs post Brexit, forever changing border closures and Covid negative test requirements, and snow storms, didn't deter the team at Franklins from moving all my furniture and belongings from London & Scotland to rural France.<br><br>Ben was always available to help with any last minute requests and obstacles, like packing up my entire house as I couldn’t get back to London from France due to border closures, a detour to Scotland to pick up some family antiques during a snow storm, and last minute storage requirements as Brexit thwarted the first delivery attempt. So when Simon and Lee pulled up my driveway within 30 minutes of their ETA, I was over the moon. There was no messing around unloading their truck. They were efficient and fast (perhaps helped by the endless cups of coffee I was offering them) and loads of smiles and laughter with not a single item broken.<br><br>I’m not planning to move again anytime soon, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to use Franklins.

From the initial contact with Ben Franklin, communication has been excellent. The team that put our belongings in storage were professional, polite and efficient. Franklins negotiated the paperwork and complexity of Brexit with a dogged determination to deliver our things to France, which they did magnificently. Special mention to Lee and Simon, who on arrival in France were polite, professional and organised. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Franklins, competitively priced and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks guys!

Thanks to Simon, Pete, Dean and Kieran. Our move was text book, everything went to plan and at the end of a long day the lads left us feeling happy in our new home. Whilst it was another day in the office for Franklins, we were apprehensive about the move but thanks to their professional and nothing was a problem approach, all went well on the day. No damage to either house and there were some REALLY heavy items moved. We threw in a curved ball and asked for some items to go into their storage, but again, no problems and no need to worry - thanks Ben. Thanks again, we will be recommending you to our friends. Jonathan and Sue.

A great service - the transport of our furniture from France to UK was carried out very professionally. Simon, Pete and Lee were fantastic - they were very careful with everything and so efficient. They could not have done more - we were very impressed by them. The lorry was loaded the French end quickly and methodically and brought over to the UK and unloaded in the same way. Really helpful, knowledgeable people. Thank you Franklins and in particular Simon, Pete and Lee for all your help.

Unfortunately couldn't use Franklins for our move from France because of timing, however they were very organised, responsive, and friendly in their communications. They are first on my list if I have to move again.

Amazing service throughout! Kieran, Simon and Pete could not have been any more helpful and professional. They turned up on time, loaded with precision and made it to France from the UK during a lockdown with all our possessions in tact. Great guys, great service ....competitive price ! Would use again.

Pete and Kieran collected the contents of our house in Provence, dividing the contents into two deliveries all from a list of contents and Watsapp video calls with me, as I was unable to travel to the house. They arrived at the house at 7.30am, worked into the night, packing and loading a five bedroom house in one day. Two more charming, helpful and cheery guys it would be hard to find. I would recommend Franklins without hesitation, they are everything that I hoped they would be when I saw they were a family owned company with great reviews. Thank you all for making a big international move totally stress free.

We had three great lads recently move us from our much loved home. Simon, Fraser and Tom. They made the day so much easier and reduced stress where they could. I highly recommend this family business as they are very professional throughout the process. We will be moving again next year, hopefully to our forever home and I will definitely be using them again. Thanks guys!! 😃

We booked Franklins Removals on the basis of their excellent Google reviews and these reviews speak the truth! Moving our entire lives to France between lockdowns could have been a very stressful experience, but as soon as Lee and Pete arrived - bang on time - we instantly relaxed. They were nothing short of amazing. They were reassuring, friendly , nothing was too complicated - ours was a difficult, heavy move - and their teamwork was inspirational. We highly recommend Franklins services - AND their prices are good too. Keep these lovely guys going all day on coffees with milk and one sugar, and moving house is suddenly no longer the trauma we all expect it to be!

Our move was very local and it was professionally and extremely well handled by Franklins over three days. Many companies were unwilling to visit us for a quote but Ben Franklin carried out this task quickly and efficiently, complying with present COVID protocols. All members of the removal team were cheerful and willing in spite of late access to our new property. Specifically we appreciated help from Sean and Dean.<br><br>We have no hesitation in recommending Franklins.<br><br>Rodney & Alyson K - Four Oaks

After obtaining several quotes for our move from the UK to France, we chose Franklins Removals and boy are we glad that we did. We required a full packing, removal/storage and relocation option. Quotes from various competitors ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. We opted for Franklins because we were impressed with their efficiency, excellent communication, experience and pricing structure which was transparent. We also wanted our belongings stored safely in the UK for a number of months before being delivered to us in France. Ben Franklin was our contact throughout and a more helpful individual you couldn’t wish to find. The teams that packed/stored and finally delivered our belongings to our new home in France were superb - friendly, careful, cheerful and above all professional. Nothing was damaged either in packing our belongings or in their delivery. Everyone we dealt with from Franklins have been amazing and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We recommend Franklins Removals highly.

For various reasons, ours was a difficult move from our house in SE France back to the UK, and not just because of the pandemic. From the outset Franklyns were a brilliant company to deal with. Ben was efficient and reassuring, and kept in touch every step of the way. The team on the lorry, Stu and Lee could not have been more helpful. They called me on arrival at the house and double checked with me before they left to come home. On their arrival back in the UK, it was lovely to put faces to voices, and Stu and Lee had both done a superb job of packing up our belongings and treating them with care. I cannot recommend Franklyns highly enough, if you need anything moved from Europe I suggest you give Ben a call ... Thank you so much Team Franklyns from a very happy and relieved Fleming family!

Right from the start of finding a removal company to move us to France I knew we where onto a winner with Franklins. Ben was incredibly helpful in the middle of the pandemic. Where ever you are moving to do not hesitate to use Franklins they are professional removers and understand that is is also a very hard time for all. All of Bens team are great and we had a great packing day and removal day. Fast and efficient and what we really liked was that they all seemed to care about our belongings. The Lorry arrived 3 days later in France and unpacking went really well especially as we had a lot of stuff to go upstairs and through windows. Everyone worked so hard and even though it took us all day it went without a hitch and everything made it to France in one piece. I would like to thank the Guys by name that got us here, So thank you to Gary, Shaun, Dean, Lee, Pete, and Kieran. if I have forgotten anyone please know that we are most grateful to you all.

An extremely efficient and friendly service. I called them on Friday in France, they were there to collect the load 4 days later and delivered to me when I was back in London the following week. I can't recommend them highly enough!!
