As advertised by the company
One million customers moved and 500 locations worldwideHomepage and about page counters, read 24 September 2026. No public record supports either figure and we could not check them from outside. As advertised only.
A 4.9 out of 5 star ratingHomepage star rating badge, read 24 September 2026. It matches the Trustpilot score of 4.9 from 3,229 reviews exactly, but the Google profile for the same firm reads 4.6 from 298 reviews, so the badge is one platform's number rather than the whole picture.
Moving households and businesses for over a century, and over 100 years in the industryAbout page, read 24 September 2026. The company's own timeline starts at Bonners of Welling in 1929, which is 97 years, and the legal entity Kelerbay Limited was incorporated on 1 November 1994. The brand story is longer than the company record, and both are shorter than a century.
A range of insurance cover options, including marine cover that can be extended to pairs and sets, mould and mildew, and electrical, electronic and mechanical derangement, backed by a panel of worldwide loss adjustersFAQ page, read 24 September 2026. Cover types are described but no amount, excess, underwriter or policy number is published, and the UK keeps no public register to check against. Insurance is never marked verified on this directory. Ask for the written schedule before you pay a deposit.

These are discounts against a quote you have to request, not published prices, so nothing here tells you what a move costs before you enquire.

BAR and FIDI show in the bodies' own directories. The ISO, BS and IAM certificates are company statements that we did not see certificates for, and the BS 8522 credential is stated to cover the Scotland and Dartford branches only.

Acting as agent for The Movers Trading Club, fully licensed, bonded and OTI registered, number 027552Site footer, read 24 September 2026. The OTI licence belongs to the club the company acts for, not to Kelerbay Limited itself, and the Advanced Payment Guarantee certificate linked from the footer is a BAR bonding scheme for overseas pre-payments rather than goods in transit cover.
* What “verified” means here: we checked public records and read the review platforms ourselves on the dates shown. We never accept a company's own words as verification, and we never let a company pay to change a verdict. Our assessment is built from review substance, freshness and authenticity; it is not a rating the company can buy or influence. When claimed profiles open, companies will be able to upload documents (insurance schedules, policies) and items will move from “advertised” to “verified” automatically once parsed.

What people love about this company

We read 151 unique Google reviews end to end, which covers every one of the 51 reviews in that corpus that sits below five stars, plus the 200 newest Trustpilot reviews from 3 May to 24 September 2026. Both platforms answer their negatives, and both replies we quote below are the company's own words. Here is what the file contains:

Crew thanked by name, more often than any other single themeCareful packing and careful handling of belongingsPunctual, and the crew phoning ahead on the dayOffice and international move coordination staff who keep customers informedInternational and overseas moves handled with customs adviceRepeat customers who say they have used the firm several times over the yearsStress free moves, the phrase reviewers reach for mostStraightforward storage leg between house sale and completion

Across 3,527 reviews (298 Google at 4.6 and 3,229 Trustpilot at 4.9, read September 2026), every one and two star review read carried a substantive company reply and the corpus spans thirteen years with the newest review on the check date. The Google profile holds 90 per cent at four or five stars; a 200 review Trustpilot sample read 97 per cent at four or five stars. The praise follows careful international moves and named coordinators; the recurring low star themes on Google are customs delays, storage charges and communication at peak times.

Figures aggregate every review we read on 2026-09-24; we publish the pattern, not individual reviews.

Identity warning

5 firms trade under this name.

1
The legal entity behind the brandKELERBAY LIMITED, company 02985507, incorporated 1 November 1994, is the company you contract with. It has no name recognition of its own, so every review, quote and directory entry sits under Doree Bonner International instead. The website footer says so in plain words: Kelerbay Limited trading as Doree Bonner International.
2
The Dartford Google profileDoree Bonner International at 19 Kennet Rd, Dartford DA1 4QN, cid 13124990830477205364, 4.6 out of 5 from 298 reviews, 53 photos. This is the address on the Companies House register and on the BAR member record, and it is the profile this listing is built on.
3
The High Wycombe Google profileA second Doree Bonner International profile at International House, Hillbottom Rd, High Wycombe HP12 4JX, 4.5 out of 5 from 53 reviews, on the same phone number and the same domain. Same firm, different branch, different review count. If you are comparing scores, say which profile you are looking at.
4
Doree Bonner Holdings LimitedCompany 10690791, at a Manchester correspondence address, a separate registered entity that held control of this company from 30 June 2017 until 29 April 2025. It is a different company number at a different address, and it does not trade on the review platforms.
5
Bonners of Knightsbridge and the other group brandsBonners of Knightsbridge, Luxfords of Weybridge, Dodds, Gardners, Kellys, John Duncan, Express Removals, Levett's and Dymocks all appear in search results and in the BAR directory as separate trading names. They are the same group under BAR member number K014, and bonnersofknightsbridge.co.uk is the group's own site rather than an impersonator.

One legal entity, one main review profile, and a handful of sibling names that all belong to the same group. Before you book, match three things: company number 02985507 on the Companies House register, the International House address at 19 Kennet Road in Dartford, and the 0800 289 541 number published on the website. Removal Dude publishes this as consumer risk information, not as a complaint about any of the firms or brands named above.

FAQ

Is Kelerbay Limited legit?

Yes. KELERBAY LIMITED is company number 02985507, incorporated on 1 November 1994, still Active, with removal services under SIC code 49420, trading as Doree Bonner International from International House, 19 Kennet Road, Dartford DA1 4QN. Removal Dude read that record on Companies House on 24 September 2026: accounts to 31 December 2025 filed 26 May 2026, confirmation statement filed 14 August 2026, four serving directors and one corporate person with significant control.

Who runs Kelerbay Limited?

Gosselin Mobility Uk Limited, company 10754149, has been in control since 29 April 2025, when it replaced Doree Bonner Holdings Limited. The four serving directors are Jason Ian Herbert, Simon Guy Norrington, Marc Smet and Jacqueline Stouffer, and all four have verified identity status at Companies House. Jason Herbert signs the company's replies to reviews as Group Managing Director.

Is Kelerbay Limited insured?

We cannot verify it, and neither can you from public sources, because the UK keeps no public register of goods in transit or public liability cover. The website's FAQ does describe the cover: a range of insurance options, marine cover that can be extended to pairs and sets, mould and mildew and electrical or mechanical derangement, and a panel of worldwide loss adjusters. It publishes no amount, no excess, no underwriter and no policy number. Ask for the written schedule before you pay a deposit.

Are the reviews for Kelerbay Limited good?

Very good on volume and on average, with a real complaint file behind them. Google shows 4.6 out of 5 from 298 reviews, 247 of them five star, and Trustpilot shows 4.9 out of 5 from 3,229 reviews. We read 151 Google reviews and the 200 newest Trustpilot reviews end to end: every one star we read carries a company reply, and the recurring complaints are damage found on unpacking, bills that grew after the survey, and international shipments that ran late.

Which Doree Bonner profile and company is the right one?

This listing is KELERBAY LIMITED, company 02985507, at 19 Kennet Road, Dartford DA1 4QN on 0800 289 541. The Dartford Google profile carries 298 reviews at 4.6. A second profile at Hillbottom Road in High Wycombe carries 53 reviews at 4.5 on the same number and domain, and Doree Bonner Holdings Limited, company 10690791, is a separate entity that no longer controls this one. Match the company number before you book.
