A Dorset removals company with a long history
Johnson’s began in Shaftesbury in 1855. Today, the company operates from Lower Station Road in Gillingham and remains focused on careful planning, dependable communication and respectful handling of customers’ belongings.
We are part of the Master Removers Group, a group of established removals businesses whose teams work directly in the industry. This network supports moves beyond our immediate area while Johnson’s retains its local knowledge and customer service.

Two ways to store your belongings
Container storage
A secure, economical option that is particularly useful for longer-term storage or when frequent access is not required. Johnson’s can collect, load and return the contents as part of a removals or storage plan.
Drive-up self storage
A convenient choice when you want to bring items to your own unit and access them more regularly. It can suit moving, renovation, decluttering, stock and business storage.
