Great Customer Service and Facilities
Been with McCarthy's for about three years. Not cheap but they are very flexible and have always tried to give me the most economical size unit for my needs and I have moved three times to achieve this. The facilities are very good and always scrupulously clean and tidy. Very convenient and secure 24/7 access. I have dealt with at least four different members of staff and they have all been terrific - very helpful, efficient and friendly and make you feel valued as a customer. Can't fault them on service and facilities and would recommend them without hesitation.

Particularly helpful with their advice in changing the storage unit that I had from larger to smaller. This significantly reduced my monthly cost and clear concise help was evident to the necessary contract admin changes involved.

Excellent Removal Service
McCarthy's recently provided home removal services for us. We had to change the removal date a couple of times but nothing was too much trouble. Deanna was very helpful in rearranging. On the day Dan and his team arrived on schedule and loaded up all our possessions very quickly. We had a long wait at the other end but the team remained in good humour then finally unloaded quickly and efficiently at the end of a very long day. Nothing was lost or broken in the move and I would recommend McCarthy's to anyone looking for a home removal service.

Matthew Carbutt - 3 month(s) ago
Professional and stress free experience.
Accommodated the dates for our move at relatively short notice. The virtual assessment of requirements was professionally undertaken and proved to be accurate for our needs in terms of cubic capacity as the move progressed. The pre move packing facility fir kitchen and fragile goods was excellent. Finally, the team that moved us were incredibly accommodating and reassuring throughout. Overall a stress free experience.

Faultless in every way
We've used McCarthy's (both storage and removals) on 3 occasions now. This was our biggest move. I wouldn't bother going to anyone else for either storage or removal. They moved the contents of our large storage unit with no fuss whatsoever. We just gave them to code for the padlock. They emptied the unit and brought everything to our new place. We got a call to say they were 15 minutes away. They unpacked the van and put everything where we asked them to. Even though most of our stuff was in crates, they provided extra packing eg for mattresses, cushions and some bits that we'd rammed into the unit at the last minute. The lads were super friendly, efficient and helpful.They put down loads of matting to walk on. I think they were about an hour unpacking and that was it. Really, really nice fellas. The admin staff were just as great - super helpful, flexible about the move day, what was being moved, nothing was too much trouble. It cost £750 to move the contents of a large storage unit 150 miles. As a laugh, we'd got a quote from another company and it was 3 times as much. The storage facility is great - easily accessed, really flexible, secure, clean and dry. We had no problems whatsoever. Like I say, the third time we've used McCarthy's and they are faultless. If only every aspect of our move had been as easy as dealing with them. Thanks to Sarah (storage) and Cherise (moves) for all their help. And special thanks to Dane and his driver who moved our stuff. You were great.

A professional and personal level of service
I was impressed with the personal attention to detail provided by Emily at the Harrogate branch. I wasn't sure about the size of unit I actually needed, but Emily explained everything and took me to the various units so that I could gain a better understanding of my needs. She spent a great deal of time with me and this worked as I'm really happy with the unit I have and the secure and convenient location within the storage facility. I feel confident that I can now run my start up distribution business hassle free! Everything was sorted in great detail and I'm very happy with the overall service provided. A big thanks to Emily and McCarthy's.

Very easy to decide on space we needed, by a guided tour of likely units. Was offered a price-match, which made the final offer attractively favourable when compared with other storage companies.

Professional, helpful and highly recommended.
They were very professional, punctual, took excellent care of our possessions. The guys were friendly and polite, and worked extremely well whilst adhering to the Covid 19 rules and regulations. I would recommend McCarthy's to anyone as they made our move as stress free as possible, and you were kept in the loop throughout. From the initial telephone enquiry, right the way through to unloading the final piece of furniture.

The best Removal Company I have ever used 100% trustworthy
Tony was amazing he gave me such a lot of trust that my very expensive piano and painting would be extremely looked after and they were, the lovely lady on the phone who I booked through and the three removal guys, were absolutely professional amazing respectable and I was aware that they were constantly using hand gel et cetera. There is nothing missing and nothing damaged and I had about 200 boxes a lot of precious China crystal et cetera. I would 100% recommend this company after having around about seven different Removal Company quotes this was slightly more expensive, but worth every single penny as the saying goes, you get what you pay for This company went the extra mile for sure. If there is anyone with a disability who is reading this who is looking for a company you can trust, I would highly recommend these people

Great service at McCarthy’s
I’ve been using McCarthy’s for a long time now, and am more than happy with my storage unit. The units are very accessible and always clean and tidy. The helpful staff are always on hand if you need any assistance. Wendi in particular has been a pleasure to deal with and extremely efficient.
Alistair Black - 6 month(s) ago
Amazing
Their service was above and beyond as Wendi and her husband drove to the York site on Sunday afternoon to accommodated my son with his storage room as we were traveling from Glasgow to South Wales via York to drop off his belongings for university.
Menna Lewis - 6 month(s) ago
Professional, friendly and thorough
We had the packing and moving service, they were very professional, polite and did a great job. They didn't just put everything in the boxes they held back things like filler or legal documents in case we might need them. There was also a delay in getting into the new house and they were very patient and didn't complain. Made things a huge amount less stressful for us. I would highly recommend.

Popped in as we do the weekly shop next door at Aldi's - very impressed by the whole set up the building and layout especially - its brand new! Took away a quote for a storage space, will definitely use them in the near future the location is great and the costs lower than we thought win/win for us.

I haven’t had to use storage before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but Jess just made everything really easy. It’s just really nice to get someone who takes the time to explain everything.

A great service all round
A very friendly and efficient service. We were desperately in need of a storage unit and a 'man and van' to help us clear the house of a relative who had recently died. We could not have asked for better support. The unit was booked, and the storage staff directed us to the removals reception who promptly found an available van. The removal men and van were also great. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
