Glyn Upton Removals in short
Glyn Upton Removals is a long-established Telford removals firm running domestic, commercial, international and piano moves with packing, storage and de-cluttering help. Offices span three towns, and the company record at the Cluddley address supports its identity and trading history. Our view is that it suits a household or business move where a broad service range from an old local name matters. Packing, transport, storage and unpacking travel within the quoted brief.
On reviews, Glyn Upton holds a respectable Google average across a large base of ratings. Guild certification is stated on its own website, which is the sourcing this trade allows. The gap is cover: no insurance or liability detail appears on the pages reviewed, leaving protection as the question mark.
Domestic, commercial, international and piano moves run with packing, home de-cluttering, transport, storage and unpacking inside the quoted brief. Offices span Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, with local, national and international moves from each. Quotes come by phone, email or site form.
A respectable average across a large base reads as a firm that moves plenty of homes steadily. Our view is that history plus steady feedback make the reputation here, while the unpublished cover leaves the one question the quote must answer. Until then it remains the profile for buyers who put an old local name ahead of stated cover.
Our verdict
In our judgement, Glyn Upton Removals suits a Telford household or business move where you want an established local firm with a broad service range [1][5]. The public record supports its identity and trading history, but cover details are unpublished.

Questions about Glyn Upton Removals
Is Glyn Upton Removals any good?
On the evidence, yes for a broad move from an old local name: it sits eighth in our removals table and holds a respectable Google average across a large base. Insurance detail is unpublished, so read the full page. Ask for a quote by phone, email or the site form.
Is Glyn Upton certified by a trade body?
Guild certification is stated on the firm's own website, with no certificate detail published, so the claim rests on the firm's word. Removals has no mandatory register beyond that. Ask for the certification detail together with the insurance papers. Get both confirmed on your written quote. Note the certification date on the quote alongside the insurance papers.
How much does Glyn Upton Removals charge?
It publishes no rates or VAT terms, inviting calls for a quote with affordable pricing stated. That means your quote does the talking: send the full inventory and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm whether the price is fixed or an estimate before you agree anything. Ask for packing costs as a separate line where the load is fragile.
Where does Glyn Upton Removals work?
The firm runs offices in three towns, covering local, national and international moves from its Telford base. Domestic, commercial, piano and storage work travel together. Send both postcodes with the inventory to confirm you are covered. Expect a quoted price rather than an instant figure. Name the destination early: international legs need the longest lead.
