Our verdict

In our judgement, Jo Upton Removals fits a Shropshire or Midlands home or business move where you want packing, storage and international options alongside a written quote [1][3]. Published terms give clear liability limits, which is a plus [7]. Before booking, confirm which business entity now trades and which phone number to use.

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.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • The site offers a free, no-obligation quote across residential, commercial, international, packaging and storage services [1][6].

  • The published terms set standard liability up to £25,000 and limited liability at £40 per item [7].

  • The Lightmoor address on the site matches the registered office held at Companies House [5][8].

Limitations

  • The matching Companies House record shows JO UPTON REMOVALS LTD dissolved on 14 June 2022, so the current trading entity is unpublished [8].

  • The site number (01952 608 590) differs from the Places listing (01952 605105), so check which to use when you call [5][9].

  • No rates or VAT terms are published, so ask for a written quote breakdown before you agree anything [1].
