I cannot praise Ed enough. Ed moved my storage from Exeter to Suffolk and he was professional, very accommodating and flexible even when things proved challenging. Good competitive rates and an excellent service. Hard working with a can do attitude. A really positive experience. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks Ed.

Ed is a top bloke. I have used him as a man-and-van three times now and am planning to when I need someone next. He always goes above and beyond and keeps what can feel like a chaotic time calm. His pricing is extremely good and above all, fair.
The last time I used him was to place some stuff in storage. I was so impressed that he took control and helped organise the stuff in the unit neatly and safely. It would have taken me more than double the time to do it and more than anything I didn't expect such a thorough service for the price.

Ed and Caesar helped me move today. I've been stressed for a week and had an anxiety attack 5 mins before they arrived- just looking at the amount of stuff I own, worrying if it would fit in their truck, worried about everything!! However, these guys came in and sorted the move in far less time than I had anticipated, things were gone before I even realised. They were professional, well prepared and efficient compared to an absolute nightmare experience I had with another Plymouth moving company two years ago.
My plants all arrived safely too!!

Ed is exactly the kind of person you want helping you move: reliable, straightforward, and no-nonsense. Hes honest, affordable, and does what he says hes going to do no excuses, no drama. A genuinely good person who makes a stressful day feel manageable. Highly recommend if youre looking for someone you can trust.

5 stars from us. Ed and his colleague Martin are professional, reliable, friendly and very strong guys. They have done 3 beds house removal, garden storage boxes, 14 extra large outdoor pots with roses and hydrangeas, all pots are very heavy in less than 3 hours. There was no damage on furniture or on any of my plants! Handled with such care. No mention they are very efficient and affordable. I would definitely use them again ( hopefully not in near future lol ), and recommend them.

Exactly how I hoped these guys would be. They turned up on time worked quickly and were smiley and good natured. Whilst they were careful they just cracked on with zero huffing and puffing.
Unfortunately for removers we have a number of awkward heavy pieces of furniture but nothing phased them. The folk moving into our place pitched up with 5 or 6 guys with a similar amount of stuff to ourselves but our stuff was shifted by just two guys arguably quicker !
The acid test came right at the end of the day after removal and relocating our possessions in the new place. My wife decided a couple of heavy things would be better in a different room. I was up for leaving them but again still smiling the guys said no problem and shifted heavy furniture into different rooms. I honestly cant fault these guys and so Ceaser and Shane (working for Ed Kowalski) a huge thank you again for doing what you do. Highly recommended!

5 star review for Ed and colleague who moved me this week. They arrived punctually, commenced work immediately and loaded the lorry full of furniture within 45 minutes. It was hard to keep up with them. They arrived at the new house ahead of me and repeated the process again to unload. Fastest, most efficient move ever and priced very well. No hesitation to recommend Ed Removals and use them again, thank you guys!

Collected and delivered a sofa to me, he was an absolute gem.
It turned out to be more of a struggle than anticipated for a couple of reasons:
Firstly it wouldn't fit in the lift, so he had to get this sofa upstairs to the second floor all by himself, which he did! It was bigger than expected (I know, that's what she said...)
Secondly it wouldn't fit through the stairway door so he had to dismantle part of the sofa. He then kindly put it back together for me when in place in the living room.
The man is a hero and was very lovely about this throughout the whole process.
Highly recommend.
Thank you!

I recently used Ed's services. They took care of our case from the very beginning, starting with a free valuation. It was a full move of a four bedroom house with full packing of the entire house and garage. The kitchen was packed perfectly, nothing was damaged and we had a lot of delicate things. Perfect furniture packing. The move took two days, but we went through the entire process without stress and were sure that it was a good move. I recommend Ed because it is a very good choice in my case with a fair price. I recommend.

Ed has been extremely professional and flexible. We had several issues, this meant
that completion was postponed twice. Luckily he was able to accomodate us with 2 days notice. On the day of the move he arrived early and moved everything in his van quickly, securing the fragile stuff.
5 stars reviews!

Ed offered an excellent service for my move. It was very easy and straightforward to book and arrange the van and move. He arrived on time as planned and reached the destination in a very reasonable time. He offers very fair prices and a reliable service. I will recommend him to my friends and would use his services again if needed. Thank you once again for your help with my move!
