Jo Upton Removals review

Ranked 5 of 9 in Man and van services in Telford

Best for: residential and commercial moves with storage

Dissolved

Trading as JO UPTON REMOVALS LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury

Jo Upton Removals in short

Jo Upton Removals runs residential, commercial, national and international moves with packaging and storage from Lightmoor in Telford, and offers a free no-obligation quote. Its published terms set standard and limited liability levels — more openness than most of this table. Our view: Jo Upton fits a Shropshire or Midlands move where packing, storage and paperwork sit in one brief. International legs and containerised storage widen the cover beyond a standard local load.

Customers rate Jo Upton 4.6 from 80 Google reviews. Counting against it, the matching company record shows the old limited company dissolved, so the current trading entity is unpublished, and the site number differs from the listing number — check which to use when calling. The dissolved record is the one fact to clear up on the call.

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Strengths

  • The site offers a free, no-obligation quote across residential, commercial, international, packaging and storage services [1].

  • The published terms set standard liability up to £25,000 and limited liability at £40 per item [4].

  • The Lightmoor address on the site matches the registered office held at Companies House [2][5].

Limitations

  • The matching Companies House record shows JO UPTON REMOVALS LTD dissolved on 14 June 2022, so the current trading entity is unpublished [5].

  • The site number (01952 608 590) differs from the Places listing (01952 605105), so check which to use when you call [1][6].

  • No rates or VAT terms are published, so the written quote carries the pricing detail [1].
