A little bit about us

Ede Bros has been in business since 1926 and we still operate from our original Capel site.

Things have come a long way since the business began with brothers Bob and Ted Ede, here is little bit of our history.

1926

Back in the 1920s household removals were not as commonplace as they are today and brothers Bob and Ted Ede had the foresight to purchase an area of woodland, part of which they developed to form their own homes and gardens. The remainder of the land provided wood products which were sold, alongside aggregate, as part of their combined haulage and removal business. When a household removal was to be undertaken, a canvas ‘tilt’ was lifted on to one of their flat-bed trucks – the earliest of which was a solid tyred Leyland Peerless.

1950s

Bob’s eldest son, Peter, joined the business in the early 1950s and during the next few years he gradually turned the firm in to a purely household removal business.

1960s

The first purpose built pantechnicons joined the fleet in 1961, followed by our first warehouse in 1962. Through Peter’s hard work (and sense of humour!), he built the reputation of the business.

1970s

Further warehouses were erected on our site and the removals business went from strength to strength.

1980s

In 1984, Peter’s eldest son, Norman joined the business.

1990s

During the 1990s Norman branched out in to European and worldwide moves and Lee Buckland joined Ede Bros.

2000s

Peter retired, although he was still working in to his late 70s.

2020

Sadly, Peter passed away (February 2020). We miss him greatly but his spirit and enthusiasm for removals lives on at Ede Bros.

Today

As we celebrate 100 years of Ede Bros, we continue to strive to offer the same personal service as Bob, Ted and Peter before us.

Norman and his family still live on site at our premises in Capel. Although Lee has taken over the day-to-day running of the business Norman is still very involved and continues to help with removals.

The woodland on site still thrives, providing a fascinating natural habit for flora and fauna.

Everyone at Ede’s removal firm were absolutely brilliant from Sophie in the office giving us plenty of reassurance when the house move wasn’t quite going to plan. Plus the friendliness of all the removal boys, Lee, Warren, Neil and Matt and Nigel and others they were very efficient and professional with their work. We were both extremely impressed and grateful!

I have used Ede Bros on more than one move! They moved me last week from my rental property in Dorking to a property I bought in Dorking. As always, professional, expert, friendly stress free move for me. They are relaxed, friendly and so quick but absolutely thorough. I dont need to question anything, they are always one step ahead. Totally reliable and trustworthy. I would never use any other company. Highly recommended. Annie

We recently used Ede Bros for the collection, storage and return of our furniture during some house works. From the initial site visit to the delivery day, the whole process has been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and the personal, friendly service from all those we communicated with at Ede Bros was hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Was very impressed with the team at Ede Bros. Nothing was too much trouble and they had lots of narrow staircases to manoeuvre! Showed up on time in nice clean, professional uniforms and everyone was very pleasant. This is the second time we’ve used them and would highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic service. From the moment Lee came over to survey my property I knew we were in good hands. The communications from Sophie before and after the move were also fantastic and very helpful. On the day of our house move, the 4x man team were incredible. They worked tirelessly and efficiently, whilst also ensuring everything was done to our specification and paying great care to ensure things were safe and protected. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ede Bros again in future and if you're reading this and considering them: I strongly recommend their services.

I cannot recommend Ede’s enough. From my first call to them, they were so helpful, efficient, professional and organised. Nothing was too much trouble and they made a very emotional move very easy and actually pleasurable. They made many trips to different locations, with no issue and always with a smile. My initial contact was with Sophie and Lee, who were incredible and their team so helpful and a pleasure to have in my house. I was recommended to Ede’s and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of them.
