      Excellent removals service

      City removals were fantastic for us throughout. The detailed video survey gave us confidence they knew what they needed to do. The flexibility over packing options - we went for the fragile only option and nothing was broken during the move. They took the furniture apart and put it all back together so well. The moving team were friendly and efficient, made the whole experience stress free for us and much easier than we thought it would be. Fantastic, can't recommend them enough.

    • the team's flexibility and can-do attitude especially when they were struggling with our sofa in the staircase.. which they did manage to get to the lounge in the end!

      Excellent service.

      We had a very good experience with City-Removals and Storage moving from a two-bedroom flat to a house. The saleslady was very professional and helpful from the start offering two options in order to keep the costs down. Our move was stress-free, fast and efficient. We very much appreciated the team's flexibility and can-do attitude especially when they were struggling with our sofa in the staircase.. which they did manage to get to the lounge in the end!

      We won't hesitate to recommend their services in the future.

    • The guys definitely were extremely experienced as I watched them move several big pieces of furniture through tight corners without great difficulty.

      Great service and good value.

      About 2 weeks have gone since we have moved but only now I managed to find the time to write a well deserved review for this company.

      Everyone involved has been incredibily helpfull and polite.They managed to find a solution to any problem that arose.Also they office has been wonderfull in helping me change my move day several times due to lousy solicitors.

      The crew has also been unbelievable in dealing with me and my wife at our worst.

      They packed everything with the utmost care.Dismantling and reassembeling also was a piece of cake.The guys definitely were extremely experienced as I watched them move several big pieces of furniture through tight corners without great difficulty.Everything was a breeze.

      i fon t know what else to say apart from the fact that we were very very happy with how our move went along and I would use again and recommend to anyone.

      Studio flat removal - Central London.

      We lived in a large studio flat and had a LOT of stuff to move to our new place. The City Removal quote was by far the most competitive and the two guys arrived early on the day. They worked incredibly hard and we didn't have to lift a finger. They dismantled a large IKEA storage unit, took the arms off our sofa and took the feet off our armchairs so they would fit through the front door of the new flat. They then rebuilt everything in record time. They were polite, friendly and didn't stop until they were done. This was by far the best-value part of the whole moving process and I will definitely use City Removals again.

    • They also moved a sofa down three storeys for me that wasn't moving with me and were generally upbeat and supportive in what is a stressful event.

      Punctual, professional, excellent value!

      I contacted City Removals because of the positive reviews. Got a competitive quote. The guys were polite, pleasant, arrived on time and moved our stuff swiftly. They took care of the items that were fragile and nothing was broken. They covered the mattress and sofa at pick up location and laid cover on the floor by the entrance to avoid markings on the carpet at destination. Communications with the office prior to the move was excellent too. I'd use them again.

      City Removals.

      I am not able to provide a fully positive review. I was very optimistic after the first phase of my move - packing and removal to storage. This phase was very efficient.

      I found a treasured piece of furniture had a broken handle after moving my furniture from storage to my new home. I know it was broken during the move because I found the broken piece in the hall. I have also found that City Removals have given me the gift of cockroaches. To date I have found 3. The house I moved to was given a deep clean before my furniture arrived and there was no sign of cockroaches. I definitely did not have cockroaches before my move and so they must have hitched a ride from the storage facility. City Removals have responded by saying that they did not introduce the cockroaches. They have pest removers treat the facility every week. I do not find this convincing and therefore have to have them a poor review and rating.

    • They arrived promptly at 7am, had everything in the van by 7:30, crossed London, and had the furniture and boxes in place at the new flat by 9am.

      Effortless removals.

      I used City Removals when moving from a shared house to a flat and taking a large bed, chest of drawers, two side tables and a big TV plus over a dozen large boxes.

      They arrived promptly at 7am, had everything in the van by 7:30, crossed London, and had the furniture and boxes in place at the new flat by 9am.

      By far the least stressful move I've ever experienced. In addition, the head office were very helpful when answering my questions prior to the move, nothing was too much trouble.

      I highly recommend them.

    • They worked very quietly and efficiently to carry all the boxes and pieces from a third floor flat to the house a few miles away.

      Moving in NW3 London.

      From the visit by the estimator until the move was complete this was a stress free experience. The quotation was very competitive. The company arranged parking suspension for the day required. Packing was carried out on the day before and the 2 man team arrived at the agreed time and were very courteous, careful an efficient. Again on the day of removal the 3 man team were there waiting until the agreed time. They worked very quietly and efficiently to carry all the boxes and pieces from a third floor flat to the house a few miles away.They worked diligently throughout the day and completed the move with their van in 3 trips. Nothing was broken or damaged and all dismantling and re-assembly of furniture trouble free. Could not praise the team enough.

      If you are considering a move then look no further but contact Alexander at City and he will ensure you have a trouble free move.

      Simply Great!

      I used City Removals to move a 1 bed flat from W1 to W9. The final price £995 included: packing services (including materials), the removal, unpacking as well as two professional cleanings (the old flat and the new one). The company not just met, but well exceeded my expectations in terms of service, punctuality, professionalism, staff friendliness and communication. They did what I thought would be impossible: taking the stress out of moving! The two crews (one for moving and one for cleaning) arrived on time, were very polite and spoke perfect English. While the one team was packing the old flat, the other team was cleaning the new flat. I only had to show them once what things were going to stay in the old flat, and they made no mistakes at all. When in doubt, as I told them, and same with unpacking, they called me to make sure they got it right. All in all, for any of my next moves or for any of my friends or colleagues, I would recommend City Removals with absolutely no hesitation. They are simply the best moving company I have ever, and probably will ever use. All my stuff arrived safely, very well packaged, was unpacked very efficiently, even without my direct guidance,…

    • From the the appraisal process through to the moving day, City Removals were helpful, attentive, professional and prompt.

      Best moving company I have ever used!

      From the the appraisal process through to the moving day, City Removals were helpful, attentive, professional and prompt. They quoted us a very reasonable price and there were no unexpected costs. We had the packing service and the team were efficient, thoughtful and careful. We had no breakages and no damage to furniture. On moving day, the team were prompt and again, very efficient and very professional. It was the least stressful move I have ever done and I will most definitely recommend and use their service again. The entire process was smooth sailing. Thank you City Removals for being fantastic!!

      Great service.

      My experience was very positive from start to finish. The lady who came out to do the estimate was punctual and friendly also managing to fit around my difficult schedule. We had both packing and removals service - the men arrived on time for both and were very courteous and efficient. They also reassembled furniture in our new house - including a bed that had not previously been assembled. I was very impressed at how quick they were. They were also incredibly good value for money - the quote was less than half that of another highly rated firm but the service was superb.

      City removals managed our move last week. However, they damaged one of our wardrobes and then refused to take any responsibility for this. Rude and careless with our furniture. The workman seemed very tired and overworked, and management very dismissive. I would not use them again

      Don't use them.

      This company moved my 2 bed flat to a four bed house. They didn’t attend the agreed viewing and didn’t arrange for the correct size trucks (we made decisions based on their vast experience and recommendation) the movers themselves were rude and abrupt asking for cash as soo as they arrived (despite us paying on line) they furniture that was delivered arrived damaged. Despite claiming they have full insurance it took nearly a month to get a response and they refused to offer any insurance claim for me. I cannot recommend this company to anyone.

      Wish I read the negative reviews car before falling for the good ones.

      I wish I read Sangita's review before hiring these people as I fully agree with her.

      Silviu was very quick to sell this with a shiny brochure and very responsive. The people that work there, are a very different lot.

      I had a very similar experience with the wall and carpet damage , the wall and carpet damage were City removal responsibility, not the insurance company and they did nothing about it and just said the it was now down to the insurance company to resolve the problem. They were extremely defensive on the phone and not service oriented at all.

      Poor customer service , I would not recommend this company to anyone.

City Removals= Brilliant.

The team we had was absolutely brilliant on all aspects.They were quick,professional and willing to go above and beyond to make sure all was good.
They arrived on time and immediately put us at ease.It is enough to meet them and watch for 10 minutes how they work to realize that you are in good hands.
It was a pleasure to work with all of them including the people in the office who dealt with manny aspects of our move.They were on hand for us whenever we needed.
We selected them from the internet and we did our research on more companies.We chose them based on their very good reviews and they more than upheld their reputation.
We had quite a lot of valuable equipment and furniture but it was extremely well handled and packed up and in the end we had no damages at all.
I wouldn t have any problems in recommending this company.

West to east.

We moved from west to east London on Saturday February 28th, assisted with graciousness, professionalism and huge amounts of good humour -- as well as huge amounts of strength and stamina. The two people who worked with us were childhood friends, and just worked as an easy, hard working and extremely efficient team. They came early. They stayed late. They never lost their cool, they packed the lorry impeccably, lost nothing, scratched nothing, and were also very pleasant to be with for a day. Wonderful people, excellent service. They also came with good tools, lots of wrapping blankets and they made what can be a really stressful time very easy. It's a great company - from start to finish, from quote to invoice. I don't know (honestly) how they do it this well, this competitively -- but they do. It's very cheering to find such good people.

Top service.

A very good service with no hitches.Everything was done properly and the company did their job very well.No stress was added to what was already a stressfull day.
They were recommended to me by a friend,but just to get an indication of the price range we aleo asked for another 2 quotations.They were slightly more expensive but in the end it was well worth it.
The whole job took a little longer than expected because of the total and utter incompetence of Camden Council who forgot to put our parking suspension in place even though we paid for it 3 weeks before our move date.But this was not the removal companie's fault.They did everything they could to overcome this by working harder and not making a big issue out if this.
I would give them a 9 out of 10:There is always room for improvement but they provided us with a really good service and I can t pick anything that was not done right.
Well done.

Recent move.

This is the second time when we have used this company and they have been just as good as the first time.We have now moved back to our newly refurbished house after spending the last 6 months in a rented property.
We specifically asked for the same team and they provided the same men.They made the whole move incredibly fast and easy.I guess having the same team made things that little bit easier as they knew what our requirements were.
Also whenever we had a query In the lead up to the move Ioana in the office was very helpful and also the other ladies whom i spoke to.
The whole move was very well organized and everyone we spoke or dealt with did their best to provide us with their best service.
I have already recommended them to my sister who has already been visited by their surveyor and is now waiting for their quote.
Fantastic service all around.I won t surely be moving again but I would definitely recommend this company.

Good service.

We asked 5 companies to quote and in the end we chose to 3 companies who came and visited our flat. We were left most impressed by Nicola who was very through in her assesment.She was the only one who opened all the cupboards and even went up in the loft.We received the quote via email on the same day and we immediately booked. They were a tad more expensive than the others but we felt they would do a good job and piece of mind was more important to us than the price of the move. The whole job lasted 2 days.We had 5 very nice and professioanl workers who did their jobs perfectly well and made sure our day was as pain free as possible. What was a relatively easy removal could have been a nightmare with the wrong people but fortunately it  was not our case.The men were very organzied and worked very efficient. The whole service was as good as it gets and we felt well looked after by everyone.

Fast and easy.

This company has a well deserved prestige in this website.
They are excellent from the moment they come to your place to do the survey to the time they leave.
They arrived earlier than they should and did not break a single thing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
They moved 50m3 in total, including sofa, TV, furniture, etc. They dismantled and set up a 12ft trampoline in the garden.

Excellent.

We have recently moved from London to Cambridge.We did not have a great deal to move but still it was to much if we were to do it ourselves.
We contracted this company as they were the cheapest from the 5 quotes we have received.
They provided us with a very good service.We have moved without using a removal company before but after seeing these guys in action we saw what a massive difference using professionals makes.
No stress whatsoever.We wanted to help but the men told us we do not have to.It was a massive difference to when we did it ourselves.
They did not brake or scratched anything either.The move took 8 hours taking into account the trip to Cambridge which is about 90 minutes so it was not bad at all.
The crew were from Romania and after meeting them I was left with a very good impression.
It was not the hardest day for them nor the easiest but they had a good attitude to the end and made our day a lot better than it  could have been.

2nd time moving.

City Removals moved us into our new property mid december last year.Unfortunately our landlord has decided to sell and we had to move again.
The service provided was as good as the previous time.There was no need for another home survey as we had the same stuff.
I have no idea how these men do removals everyday but the fact is they do it and they are excellent at it.
This time however we bought some new furniture from Ikea and we asked them to put it together.They gave us a separate price for this which we thought was reasonable.It took them around 3 hours in total so it wasn t an easy job,but they managed to do it.
One very tiny incident was that they broke a lamp.The crew appologised  for this on the day and took it with them for repairs.2 weeks later they brought it back fully functional.Excellent customer service.No hassle at all.
Also as repeat customers they gave us 10 per cent off what we paid the first time.

Excellent from start to finish.

We used City Removals after they have been recommended to us.Just so that we were aware of the sort of price we should pay we also asked 3 other companies for a quote.
They also gave us a 10 per cent discount for being recommended so in the end we went with them.
The whole move was as smooth and stress free as possible.We wanted to do it all in one day as we did not want to be disturbed over two days.In total we had 5 men who came at 06:30 am and they have managed to pack load and deliver all our things by 07:00pm.A long day but it was absolutely worth it.We also left the kids with my parents for the whole day so we had one less thing to worry about.
All the guys were very polite and did a great job.Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy.Beds and wardrobes were taken apart and put back together without a problem.Also a very long and heavy sideboard was dealt with swiftly.I never thought that thing can be dismantelled but it was not a problem for them.
I would definitely use again and recommend them.

A big Thank You to everyone at City Removals involved in making our moving day that almost made the whole thing go unoticed.Starting with the men that did all the hard work and all the heavy lifting and finishing off with Nicola who was so professiknal and friendly during her assesment and Alex who always answerred oir queries and dealt with the council in organizing the parking.
Everyone was extremely friendly and eo willing to help.We felt very well looked after and we felt they have done everything to make things as easy As possible for us.I think more people should know about them and other removal companies should take a note or two out of their book.
We were recommended to this company by a friend who used them almost a year ago and clearly I can now see why he told us to give them a try.
A very good and honest service and some of the best monney we spent in the whole moving and buying process.

Genuinely great service.

These guys arrived early, took our stuff away very professionally using specialised bags for the couches, shrink wrapping the wooden stuff etc. Bit of a hiccough when I rang a week ahead and said I thought I may need a second van  (would have been good if someone offered to come and estimate what was required) and the price went from £320 for a van and two people to £790 for two vans and three people! I pointed out the stupidity of this to the girl on the phone who then rechecked with her estimator who then confirmed that the price was correct but that they would on this occasion charge £720! I booked them for 0930, they arrived early and got on with it. They drove straight to our new place and loaded everything in very quickly, offering to hook up TV's etc. Best of all they got our super king bed up a low staircase and into our bedroom without issue. That can't have been easy. They assembled the bed as well. I think the best thing I can say is that I don't tip very often and I gave these guys a score each as I was genuinely impressed with their work. They came to us WOM from a colleague of my wife's who used them after doing a lot of research on the subject. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Good service.

Not much to say.A pretty small move that was completed in under 6 hours.The 2 men were probably eastern european but both spoke english and were highly skilled.They came on time at 08:00 AM and after we showed them around they got on with it. We also had a good experience with the office during the booking process.The quote was very clear and most importantly had no hidden charges.What we agreed with them before is what we paid on the day. We also had an hourly rate option but for the sake of our piece of mind we chose the fixed price, which in the end worked out about the same. We also gave the crew some unwanted furniture which they took away to the dump for a small fee. I would sugest to anyone that needs moving services to do their homework and research more companies.There are plenty of cowboys out there,especially in the removals industry and you do not want to be left high and dry on your moving day.                                                                                                                                                        .

The service we needed.

This was exactly what we needed.A very smooth and pleasant experience.Staff were on time ,polite and very very hardworking.Also fast efficient and friendly.They were totally hands on and dealt with all the issues brilliantly.
Parking was a bit of a problem as someone decided it was smart to park on the suspension I have arranged with the council.They just parked a bit further from the entrance of our flat and got on with it without complaining.
They were recommended to me by my sister who used them for her move 2 months ago and she was equally impressed.
Good job.

Excellent.

City Removals moved our house contents while we were renovating our current place.They also organized storage for what were 6 very long months for us. They packed the whole house in just a bit under 8 hours.I think asking them to pack was the best part of the move.They used strong boxes,tons of paper and buble wrapp and all the boxes had a clear description of what was inside.I think it would have taken us a month had we atempted to pack ourselves.Also when they finished packing they took some stuff to storage,leaving less for the following day. The whole team was fantastic.Nothing was a problem and they have managed the whole move in a very friendly and proffessional way.Aleo we arranged with them to have all our furniture wrapped and this is what happened. We shall wayt to see how everything comes back to us but based on our first part of the move so far from us they have 10 out of 10.

London to Bristol.

We moved from London to Bristol from a 2 bedroom flat to a 2 bedroom flat.We did the packing ourselves as we had the time but this company supplied the boxes which they delivered to us 3 weeks before the move.
They kept to all their promises and delivered a very good and stress free service.They also kept to the price they quoted and we had no other unexpected extra charges on the day.
The 2 men we had(i think from Roumania))were the nicest blokes anyone can find.They were polite and hard working and knew exactly what they were doing.They had a can do attitude and worked very hard.
Also the company is very well equipped.They came with a new,clean and shiny truck.They had blankets,covers tools..anything you can imagine that was required they had it in the truck.
I would definitely use again and recommend to others.There are more and more good and honest companies out there.It is just a matter of picking the right one.

Fast and friendly service.

Fast,friendly and efficient.We have quite a lot for a 1 bedroomflat and they sugested the packing should be done one day before the move and not on the same day as we initially wanted.This was not a big problem and we went with their sugestion.I have counted the boxes after they left and they packed an incredible 90 cartoons,so it was clear I underestimated how much stuff we had.
The day after 3 chaps arrived on time and they moved us with relative ease.They had a Luton van and as the addresses were so close they did 2 trips.The whole thing was finished by around 05:00pm.Nothing was broken or damaged.They also took away some boxes and paper that we managed to unpack while they were unloading.
A good service.Price wise they were more expensive than your average man and van but it was well worth it.Well done.

What we wanted.

We could not be happier with how the whole removal was performed by this company.The whole job was managed very well from start to finish.The men were very organized and efficient on the moving day and we found the whole booking process and all the dealings we had with their office as trouble free as possible.Everything was explained to us very well before.All our questions were answerred and most importantly what we agreed before in writting happened.Furniture was wrapped and coverred,dismantelled and reassembled with no aditional costs.They took really good care if all our stuff and we ended up with no damages whatsoever.As it was a rainy day the men had to constantly take their shoes off which they did without moaning.   
Everyone looked like they really cared about what they had to do and they did their best to make us feel cared for and in safe hands.

Easy job.

This was quite an easy job removing the contents of a 1 bed flat and moving it all to another ground floor 2 bed.Nonetheless we needed someone who did exactly what they did.An easy job was done with the minimum of fuss and no stress was added from their side.Came on time,worked hard,behaved very politely and took stuff away very proffessionaly.No breakages either,not  even a single scratch.All was wrapped as well.
They did not have to dismantle anything but stillthey had a tool box with them just in case.
We also gave away some stuff we no longer needed and they took this to the local recycling center

Great behaviour by the men as well who were very polite and helpfull.Top company and I would recommend.

Excellent company.

I have just moved from South East London to Hertfordshire and City Removals Ltd were excellent. They arrived early on the day but waited until 8am on the dot to give us a little more time to get everything ready. They were polite and very professional. Everything moved in one piece and the whole day was very smooth. I would highly recommend this company for anyone moving house.

Packing and removal.

The team of 3 arrived punctually at 7 am with two vans and carefully packed and moved a 4 storey town house by 2.30. They only took two short breaks, were pleasant , very hardworking and careful. The price was very competitive and the storage charge reasonable.The office staff were very quick to answer questions and also very courteous. Highly recommended.

House Move.

Excellent quality service. I moved from 3 bedroom fully furnished property. City Removals turned up on time, worked solidly throughout the day and was massively efficient and friendly. I had used them before and a friend (who I recommended) also used them (very impressed too). Moving is a stressful process and exhausting. From the first call, physical inspection and quote, the moving day, and collecting used boxes afterwards , each were done very professionally. There is a lot to manage for a move and lots of annoying calls with landlords and utility companies, however this company was never in that bucket and I never had to think there would be an issue.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Awful experience.

We chose City removals primarily because they were the most responsive company to our request and accommodated last minute date move. I dealt with Silviu Bocan. The move was carried out on 2 days . The first problem was the people that did the move were different on both days so for instance team one packed everything and I was there to explain what was fragile and to be careful with unpacking. Team 2 had no idea , did the unpacking in some a haphazard manner - throwing books in a pile and so many covers were damaged. My printer plug was damaged and so it does not power on. The tv fell of the tv stand and some crystal candle holders were cracked. The carpet was dirty as the movers said it was too dangerous to take the shoes off. And the wall was damaged as the bed hit the corner of the wall when going up the stair case. They provided an insurance company to follow up with and not one of the claims were covered despite me having photos of everything as the reason was the city removals men said they did not see any of the damages and so were not liable. The wall and carpet damage were city removal responsibility not the insurance company and they did nothing about it and just said the it was now down to the insurance company to resolve the problem. they were extremely defensive on the phone and not service oriented at all.

Do not use this Removals company.

Would not recommend using this company. I had reserved a date to move with them, only to find out nearer the date (once we'd exchanged, which is when they'd asked me to get in touch) that they'd given my slot to somebody else without contacting me. Very unprofessional and left me completely high and dry.

Official company response

Dear Ms Butler,

We are very sorry you feel we have not done the right thing.
On the 16th of June we spoke on the phone and we have indeed provisionally booked your removal for the 31st of July. A provisional booking however is not a firm booking and the slot can be given to someone else if you do not wish to make a firm booking when we call you to ask for updates. We normally call customers who are booked on a provisional basis when the last slot available for the size of their move gets requested. Customers can than either make a firm booking or cancel their provisional booking.
When your slot got requested we tried to get in touch with you to try and see if you wish to proceed. This happened on the 10th of June. Because we could not get in touch we had to give the slot away.
You only called us to confirm your move on the 24th of July only 7 days before your completion date.
Also we have tried to help you by pointing you to other reputable removal companies who could help.
We are sorry you are upset for us not being able to keep your provisional but as explained above because we could not get in touch with you your slot was given to another customer who wanted to make a firm booking.

Move from London to Cardiff summer 2018.

City Removals gave us a great cash price and did an excellent job of moving us 185 miles over two days. There were a few initial hitches with the admin but the removals guys were really good - hard working and no nonsense chaps who cracked on efficiently despite the boiling heat. They wrapped and repackaged several things I'd forgotten and the only breakage (in a box I myself packed) was one small plate. I was very pleased indeed with the service I received.

London - Somerset.

I cannot praise City Removals highly enough. For a great price, they carefully packed me up on one day, including a whole van full of delicate plants, and then delivered me to Somerset the next day - on one of the hottest days of the year!
The crew were unbelievably efficient and thoughtful, and not one thing got broken, not even the trusses of fruits on three well-grown pots of tomatoes!

Service cost: £1700
