CENTRAL MOVES LTD
CENTRAL MOVES LTD has traded from Twickenham since 6 February 2001 under company number 04154268, and its claimed Google profile stands at 4.6 out of 5 from 106 reviews of which 92 are five stars, most recently on 10 September 2026. CENTRAL MOVES LTD answers most of its complaints in public, six of the ten one and two star Google reviews, and keeps a Trustpilot profile at 3.8 from 38 reviews. CENTRAL MOVES LTD is run by Scott Damon Rust, a director since the day it incorporated, and Kane Julian Rust, with a holding company at the same address. CENTRAL MOVES LTD publishes a 50,000 pound insurance figure but no prices at all, holds AIM and IAM membership with no BAR record, and leaves three separate names to tell apart before you book.
Solid evidence on the essentials. The questions below matter more than usual with this company.
The Skills Centre, Twickenham Trading Estate, Rugby Road, Twickenham, TW1 1DQ, the registered office, which is the address the claimed Google profile gives as Skills Centre, Twickenham trading Estate, Rugby Rd, Twickenham TW1 1DQ and the address the site footer gives as Skills Centre, Twickenham Trading Estate, Rugby Road, Twickenham, Middlesex, TW1 1DQ. Several directories and the site's own imprint page write the same estate as TW1 1DG, which is the postcode on the Unit 5 side of the same trading estate rather than a different place

What reviewers report
| Platform | Score | Reviews | One and two-star |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.6 / 5 | 106 | 12 reviews at three stars or below, every one of them read in full with the company's reply where one exists. Six of the ten one and two star reviews were answered. The subjects are arrival times and missed slots, packing standards, damage and compensation, a survey that never happened, driving and staff conduct, a quote that never came, and two star ratings left with no words at all. Review URLs are recorded below | |
| Trustpilot | 3.8 / 5 (TrustScore, labelled Great) | 38 | 3 one-star reviews, all three read in full. Two of them are the same complaints that appear on Google under the same names and dates, so the two platforms share a negative tail rather than adding two separate ones. One of the three carries a long point by point reply from the company, the other two are unanswered |
What people love about this company
We read every review we could reach end to end on 27 September 2026: the 100 most recent Google reviews plus the complete negative tail, 101 unique reviews in all, and all 38 Trustpilot reviews with the replies on them. Read the shape before the detail. Google shows 4.6 out of 5 from 106 votes with a platform distribution of 92 five star, 2 four star, 2 three star, 1 two star and 9 one star, and the twelve reviews at three stars or below run from October 2016 to August 2026. Trustpilot shows a TrustScore of 3.8, labelled Great, from 38 reviews that are 35 five star and 3 one star, a spread the platform's own weighted score pulls down well below the plain average of the same 38 ratings. Both profiles are current: the newest Google review is 10 September 2026 and the newest Trustpilot review is 19 August 2026.
Across 144 reviews (106 Google at 4.6 and 38 Trustpilot at 3.8, read September 2026), around 90 per cent rate four or five stars and 6 of the 10 Google one and two star reviews carry company replies. The praise is specific: named crews and office staff, a packing service that drops materials early and collects after, and honest truck sizing. The recurring low star themes are arrival timing and quote follow up. The corpus is current: 44 of the newest 100 Google reviews arrived inside the last twelve months.
Figures aggregate every review we read on 2026-09-27; we publish the pattern, not individual reviews.Identity warning
3 firms trade under this name.
Before you book, match all three of these to this listing: company number 04154268, the address The Skills Centre, Twickenham Trading Estate, Rugby Road, Twickenham TW1 1DQ, and the enquiry line 020 8892 8931. Two other Companies House entities carry the Central Moves name, one a holding company incorporated in 2024 at the same address with the same two directors and one dissolved in 2011, so a document showing company number 15403854 or 04154278 is a different entity and you should ask why it is being used. Three practical notes, none of them presented as wrongdoing. The postcode is written two ways everywhere: TW1 1DQ on the register, the site footer and the Google profile, TW1 1DG on the Yell listing, the Trustpilot profile, the AIM listing and the company's own imprint page, and both are the same trading estate, so treat it as one address written loosely rather than two places. The exact match domain centralmoves.com is held by a party we could not identify and serves nothing, so send nothing there. And two reviewer names in the Google corpus, Teya Cockerell and Ash Armel-Close, match first names that other reviewers thank as Central Moves staff, which is a question to ask the company rather than a finding against it.
FAQ
Is CENTRAL MOVES LTD legit?
Yes, as far as public records show. Removal Dude independently verified 18 facts about CENTRAL MOVES LTD against outside sources: Companies House records, the claimed Google profile, the Google and Trustpilot review corpora, Nominet domain records and the Wayback Machine. The company appears at Companies House under company number 04154268, incorporated 6 February 2001, registered at The Skills Centre, Twickenham Trading Estate, Rugby Road, Twickenham TW1 1DQ. The register is not spotless: it records two compulsory strike off episodes, first Gazette notices of 11 February 2020 and 4 May 2021, each suspended and then discontinued without the company ever being struck off, and one outstanding rent deposit charge created in 2011. CENTRAL MOVES LTD scores 76 out of 100 on the Removal Dude score with a verdict of Check Before Booking, last checked 27 September 2026.
Who runs CENTRAL MOVES LTD?
Scott Damon Rust and Kane Julian Rust. Scott Rust has been a director since 6 February 2001, the day the company incorporated, and Kane Rust since 10 April 2018. Both are persons with significant control holding more than 25 but not more than 50 percent of shares and voting rights, and both are identity verified on the register. A third entity, CENTRAL MOVES GROUP LIMITED company 15403854, was incorporated in January 2024 at the same address as a holding company with the same two directors.
Is CENTRAL MOVES LTD insured?
This listing records the cover as advertised, never as verified, because the United Kingdom keeps no public register of removals insurance. The company does publish a figure: its Teddington page says all moves are covered by free insurance up to 50,000 pounds, while clause 6.1 of its own removal terms says insuring your goods is your responsibility and that Central Moves may extend its liability to a maximum of 25,000 pounds if you ask in writing and pay an admin fee. No underwriter, policy number, excess or period of cover appears anywhere, and the two figures do not agree. Ask for a current schedule with amounts and dates valid on your moving date before any money moves.
Are the reviews for CENTRAL MOVES LTD good?
