City-Removals and Storage

We did not have a massive amount to move but I think our move is a mover's worst nightmare.I say this because we had a 2 bedroom flat on the 4th floor with tight staircases and guess what..no lift.
This is why we looked for someone who Was also willing to come out and asses our property, which Is what they did.The assesor to our surpize was a lady but she seemed proffessional and quite experienced.The quote was sent via email and as it goes we accepted it.
Being a 4th floor they sent out a men team.The amount of stamina these guys have is fenomenal.And after climbing endless amount if stairs they still manage to be polite and helpfull.
Not too much more to say about the move.It was a smooth experience and also we were pleasantly surprized by how the men behaved throughout the day.
Everything was handled with care and moved safely.

 A very good service was provided.They were contracted to move 2 bedrooms and the contents of a kitchen from a 4 bedroom house.They packed and moved everything in one day.
As this was more of a fragile pack they cane prepared.Plates ,glasses and other fragile stuff was very well wrapped inside boxes and plenty of tissue paper was used.
For 3 of the bigger paintings we arranged for them to fabricated some wooden crates which were brought on the day.
The 3 men crew were exceptionall and thy did the job they had to do very well.
I did not watch them too long as I was in and out all day long but all was done in a speedy and safe manner.

We recently from our property into a slightly larger 2 bed flat.
We requested a quote via their website and we received it via email.
The move was not big and it was completed in 6 hours with 2 very good chaps and a Luton van which was three quarters full.
The price was 260 pounds plus the cost of a few boxes which were deliverred to us 2 weeks before.This gave us just enough time to slowly pack our stuff.
The only fragile stuff I really cared about were 2 imacs.I made it clear to them and asked that they were very carefull with these.As it comes they wrapped those in some zipped red covers they had,which was very good.
Also they did the parking arrangements for us with the council as I would'nt have had a clue on how to do this.
We are not frequent movers and hooe to stay here a long time but I would use them again if the tike comes.

Before deciding on a company we asked and received 5 quotes from which 3 companies also came and did a survey.Amongst other things we mainly chose City Removals as they were the only ones who were BAR accredited.The other reasons were they had a top online reputation from what we read and their surveior was miles ahead of the the other ones.We were expecting a man but to our surpize a very nice and polide lady came(Nicola).She explained us the whole process and she assessed our house and the volume very well.She was the only one that for example opened all the cupboards so she can have a proper look.
To the removal now,everything was as expected.The crew was very nice and provided us with a top top service.
We now also unpacked all the boxes and we found no breakages.
Our advice to anyone,no matter who you choose is make sure they are part of the BAR and also ask them to come around so you can see them face to face.

We were asked to post a review of this company and we feel this is the least they dezerve.Moving is stressfull enough and the last thing you need is a bad removal company to cause more problems on the day.Fortunately this was not our case.The whole experience was very positive and they have done  everything they could to make us happy.From the moment they started working I realized that we have made a good choice.
All their staff were smartly dressed in company uniforms ,they spoke english and most importantely they cared about what they were doing.
Our furniture was very well wrapped,and they also dismantelled and put back together a large amount of furniture.I am sure it was not but they actually made the whole move look easy.
I would urge anyone to do their bit of research and think well before contracting a company.We know some people who were not as lucky as us.These guys had very good reviews and they were also BAR members which was a must for us.

Service cost: £840

We moved from London to Edinburgh at the begining of February.With such a long distance involved and with 2 small kids things were not easy.We only wanted a company that would not make things more difficult than they were.Our estate agent told us to only use BAR registerred companies and so we did.That was a very good piece of advice.
The move was over 2 days.In the first day the men loaded the vehicles.As we were not quite ready with the packing they also helped us placing the last bits and pieces into boxes.
They were brilliant.They worked fast and were considerate all the time.When they came early in the morning our kids were still asleep and they tried to make as little noise as possible.Great stuff.
We spent the night at a hotel halfway through to our destination.We got there around 11:00AM the following day and they were wayting.
They quickly unloaded the van And they went on their way.
On close inspection we found no damages or scratches and nothing was missing.We also got a call frok the office as they wanted to check we were happy with the service.Great job and customer service.l.

Service cost: £1860

Not much to say.The whole removal was excellent.The company gave us a quote which to us seemed reasonable.We called them and gave them a list of the contents of our flat and they provided a quotation via email.
The 2 workers were very good.They started on time and they were generally 2 very nice and aproachable guys.We had no extra charges on the day even though they had to walk a bit as some smart guy decided to park right in front of our flat.We had a parking suspension in place and the council removed his car but this made the whole job last a bit longer.
In our new flat they moved some furniture that was already there so that we can make some space for ours.They also took away some unwanted bags and plants from the garden.This was included in the price.
Generally a very good service and we were pleasantly susrprized by the whole experience.Top marks.

Service cost: £350

This is the second time we used City-Removals. They did an excellent job. They kept our address and volume requirement details from two years ago and we adjusted the details to come up with a new quote which was very smart and practical.

All the team members are very reliable. Not a single item is damaged or lost. They were all very polite and harworking. Came on time and finished on time. I recommend them to friends who were also very happy.

I worked with other service providers in the past. The difference is huge. In a stressful time such as moving your home you want reliable guys like these. If we move again, we will call them no doubt.

Well, in summary: I cannot recommend them highly enough.
