| Three domains, all belonging to this firm | www.geocopsey.co.uk is the live site. copsey.org.uk, the address printed on both the BAR record and the NGRS profile, redirects straight to it. copseys.co.uk, the domain used for every email address in the site footers, served a Squarespace Coming Soon page with a noindex tag when we fetched it on 24 September 2026, while its DNS points mail at Google (MX record smtp.google.com), so the postal box of the address may work even though the web page does not. We sent no test email, so we cannot say |
| A second phone number on the BAR record | The BAR member record for C047 lists 020 8592 1003 alongside an email at copsey.org.uk, while the company site, the Google profile and the NGRS profile all use 01708 724 213. Two numbers for one member is common when a firm keeps an older contact on a trade directory, and the address on that record is exact (BAR member directory API, read 24 Sep 2026) |
| Opening hours disagree between the Google profile and the site | The Google profile's timetable returned open 24 hours on every day of the week, while the company site publishes Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 8am to 12 noon and Sunday closed. Trust the site hours and confirm by phone (both read 24 Sep 2026) |
| The reply habit has a start date | Across the 98 Google reviews, the company answered 54. Almost nothing before May 2022 is answered; after that most reviews get a warm, signed reply naming the crew. Every reply to a negative review, all three of them, disputes the review rather than resolving it in public |
| Reviews we could not read | Trustpilot holds no profile for this company on any of its three domains (geocopsey.co.uk, copsey.org.uk and copsey.co.uk all returned an empty business record on 24 Sep 2026). The Facebook page returned HTTP 400 and Yell and Cylex both blocked our fetch with HTTP 403 the same day, so anything written there is not part of the corpus we read |

What people love about this company
We read all 98 Google reviews end to end, from 11 January 2017 to 8 September 2026, including every reply the company posted. Trustpilot has no profile for this firm on any of its three domains, so Google is the whole public record:
Across 98 Google reviews (read September 2026), 93 per cent rate four or five stars, 3 of the 6 one star reviews carry company replies, and the corpus is growing: 26 reviews in the last twelve months against 16 the year before, the newest 16 days old at reading. The praise follows careful, friendly crews and moves that finish on the day. Most reviews are short ratings, with a specific minority describing the job in detail.
Figures aggregate every review we read on 2026-09-24; we publish the pattern, not individual reviews.Identity check
Match three things before you book: company number 00664416, phone 01708 724 213, and the 178 Crow Lane, Romford, Essex RM7 0ES address. The register, the site footer, the Google profile, the BAR member record and the NGRS profile all give that address, and the footer prints the postcode and the phone but no company number (cross-match read 24 September 2026, footer re-read 7 November 2026; register status Active, read 7 November 2026). Domain probes on 7 November 2026: geocopsey.co.uk serves the site, copsey.org.uk redirects straight to it, copseys.co.uk still shows a Squarespace Coming Soon page while its mail records point at Google, exactly as on 24 September 2026, copsey.co.uk resolves to an unrelated Suffolk artists site with no connection to this firm, and geocopsey.com and copseyremovals.co.uk hold no DNS record. A Companies House name search for Copsey read 7 November 2026 returns this company plus several unrelated Copsey businesses in carpentry, homes and landscapes. The complication is a family cluster at one address: G S COPSEY LTD company 02229905 is Active at the same 178 Crow Lane, was called Romford Office Moves Limited until 8 August 1997 and Baggage Express (London) Limited until 16 March 2010, and its person with significant control Henry Albert Tebbutt Jnr is also a serving director of this company, while Wren's Removals company 00676374 is owned by this company and works from the same building (Companies House company, officers and PSC pages, all read 7 November 2026). Three firms, three numbers: check that the paperwork says 00664416.
FAQ
Is Copsey Removals legit?
Yes, as far as public records show. GEO. COPSEY & CO., LIMITED has been on the Companies House register since 7 July 1960 under number 00664416, files under SIC codes 49420 for removal services and 52103 for warehousing and storage, and its accounts run to 28 February 2025 with nothing overdue. It is BAR member C047 and an NGRS Guild member, and Removal Dude verified 14 facts against outside sources on 24 September 2026, scoring it 67 out of 100, a verdict of Extra Checks Needed.
Is Copsey Removals insured?
The company says fully insured and comprehensive insurance on its site and its Google profile, but it publishes no underwriter, no policy number, no cover amount and no excess, and its policies page has no insurance document among the downloads. Insurance can never be verified from outside in the UK because there is no public register, so ask for the schedule itself: Goods in Transit and public liability cover, the amounts, and the dates it is valid on your moving date.
How good are Copsey Removals reviews?
Google shows 4.7 out of 5 from 98 reviews, and Removal Dude read all 98 with the company's replies on 24 September 2026. Eighty four are five stars, seven four stars, one three stars and six one stars. The most recent review is 8 September 2026, 26 reviews arrived in the past year, and repeat customers name the same crews. The seven negatives are quoted in full on this page with the company's answers, and Trustpilot has no profile for the firm at all.
Who owns Copsey Removals?
On the public register the company is directed and controlled by the Tebbutt family: four serving directors at the Romford address, Henry Albert Tebbutt Snr and Hazel Lilian Tebbutt as the two persons with significant control since 6 April 2016, and Jacqueline Hazel Walsh on the board since 1994. Reviewers name Barry Copsey and Albie Copsey as the people who quote and run jobs, so if you deal with someone called Copsey, ask which entity is contracting with you and match company number 00664416 on the paperwork.
Is Copsey Removals still trading?
Yes. The company is active at Companies House with current accounts, a claimed Google profile that took a review on 8 September 2026, a staffed website and BAR membership C047. Two practical notes before you call: the office hours on the site are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 12 noon even though the Google profile reports open 24 hours, and the copseys.co.uk web page printed in the footers is a placeholder, so reach them on 01708 724 213.
