    Thomas Masters were cheap and did a cracking job for me. I'm an hour up the M1 and they were a lot cheaper than anyone round here. Sound lads and Tarn supporters as well from what I can remember.

    2nd that. I used them for a couple of months storage and 2 house moves inside 2 months. They were excellent throughout and the speed they did it in felt well worth the money.

    Used Thomas Masters when I moved to York. Thought they were very good. Even paid them to pack everything up (Now that's lazy @Shepley Red :) )

    Has anyone used Thomas Masters for a move recently? We’ve got them booked for this week but phone line is down and can’t seem to get hold of anyone so getting a bit concerned

    We moved over the road, literally the house exactly opposite. It was horrible. We couldn’t exactly hire removals to put it in a van, reverse in a straight line and then unpack it but it meant carrying everything across that bloody road and then traipsing half of it upstairs by ourselves.

    Used Tomas Masters in January 2021 to move from Penistone to Upper Cumberworth. Great service, nothing too much trouble, good lads and easily cheaper than all the rest. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

    In 2013 we moved to a house which backed onto ours. We removed fencing and cleared a path between bushes and plants. It was absolute purgatory carrying everything, even though it was only about 40 metres.

    Then in 2017 we moved again, this time about 200m. We used 2 two-wheeled furniture dollys for the big stuff, one of us (guess who!) walking backwards uphill. We had to use the road as the footpath was flagged and the wheels got stuck.

    Next time we'll use Thomas Masters. I refuse to even move my own toothbrush.
