Maidmans Moving & Storage

Maidmans Moving & Storage: removals, storage and shredding from Poole

Maidmans Moving & Storage Limited operates from a head office on the Fleets Lane Industrial Estate in Poole, Dorset, and describes itself as a removals, storage and secure shredding business serving Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding area. The company states it was founded in 1979 and has since grown into what it presents as an industry-leading operation across those three activities.

Its work is organised around household and commercial moving, with additional lines in self-storage-style space and document destruction. Quotes for home moves are offered free of charge and without obligation, and the site includes a form for requesting a call back about house, European or international removals, video surveys, business moves, storage or shredding.

House removals across Dorset and the wider UK

The residential side of the business is split between local and nationwide work. Local house removals are described as full-service moves across Dorset and beyond, while nationwide house removals cover the whole of the UK. The company lists dedicated pages for moves in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Fordingbridge, Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Wimborne, which indicates the towns it treats as its core catchment.

Maidmans presents its house-moving service as reliable and cost-effective, with customer care emphasised alongside the logistics. A packing service is offered as a separate line, and the company also advertises video surveys as a way to assess a move quickly and conveniently without a home visit.

Office moves and facilities management

For commercial clients, Maidmans offers office removals and describes a full facilities management service intended to handle all removal needs. It states that it works with SMEs as well as international corporations, and it references a corporate moving package pitched at businesses of every size.

The company cites its position as a finalist at the Commercial Mover of the Year Awards 2020 as grounds for considering it for office moves. Its awards record, as listed on the site, also includes a Commercial Mover of the Year runner-up placing in 2019, 2017 and 2008, merits in 2012 and 2015, and a finalist slot in 2014.

Storage and secure shredding

Storage is presented as a service rated by clients on a par with the moving side of the business. Maidmans frames it around short-term needs or freeing up space at home or in a business, and notes that its secure storage location forms part of a wider nationwide network.

The shredding arm is aimed squarely at businesses. Maidmans describes a complete archive, shred and recycle package for companies looking to downsize or declutter and use space more efficiently, with the stated purpose of protecting clients from potential identity theft. Documents can be dropped off, and for larger loads the company offers local collection.

European and international moving

Beyond the UK, Maidmans advertises European removals and international removals, the latter described as stress-free worldwide door-to-door shipping. These services appear both in the main navigation and among the options in the call-back request form, alongside full-load and part-load choices for quotations.

Accreditation and industry recognition

Maidmans states that it was the first company in the UK to attain all three BSI quality standards, which it links to its house removals, office removals and storage services. The site also carries a section on removal industry standards and a separate page on industry awards.

On the domestic side, the awards list records Domestic Mover of the Year wins in 2014 and 2012, a finalist place in 2019 and 2017, a runner-up position in 2018 and a merit in 2015. The company also maintains pages for corporate clients, partner charities and accreditation.

Customer feedback and published guides

The site reproduces short customer comments attributed to locations by postcode district, including BH14 and BH16 in Poole, BH13 and BH10 in Bournemouth, DT1 in Dorchester and BS1 in Bristol, dated between January and March 2020. These are individual testimonials rather than aggregate ratings.

Maidmans also publishes editorial guides on its blog, such as pieces on moving to Ferndown, moving to Wareham and the best places to live in Dorset, alongside downloadable guides and a section on its alternative dispute resolution scheme.
