City-Removals and Storage

Guy Isherwood: City-Removals did the business. Kind, hard working and efficient. A difficult move (I thought) but a breeze for this crew. Packing, removing, loading, unloading etc. good. No breakages and reassembly other end done well. It was a long drive and weather terrible but the job was done. God knows what time they got home to London.
Kind regards,

City Removals moved furniture and boxes from our one bedroom flat from Surrey to Hove and the service was excellent, Our removals team arrived promptly at 9am and efficiently packed everything, ensuring all items were packed with care.  They spent a good deal of time working out how to get our large 3 seater sofa out of the flat and into the new one (which DFS had struggled with when they delivered it). Such a relief as I wasn't convinced it was physically possible to get it through the narrow entrance of our new flat! Everything arrived safely and we were at the pub having a celebratory lunch by 2pm.  I would definitely recommend them for a stress-free experience and will use them again myself. .

Very good service, very professional, very nice and polite and hardworking.Everything about the service we received starts with a very in a positive way.To be honest this is what I expected when I booked them, and they kept to their reputation.
Price wise this company was mid to upper range, but is monney well spent as the stress on our move day was ZERO.
The move involved no packing as we have done that ourselves.They came right on time in the morning, got stuck in and finished the job without breakages, missing items etc.
A chap called Adrian was especially nice, and willing to alway go the extra mile.Also extremely quick at taking things apart and putting them back together.
A very good experience and top level of service.

We have temporarily moved from our 4 bed house in kingston to a nearby address while we are doing works to refresh our house.We had this company pack and move all our beginnings in storage for a few months.I will give a full verdict when we get our stuff back, but for the first part of the job I will give them top marks.They also send someone to see our house before the move,a nice lady estimator who was very communicative and polite and told us everything we needed to know about our move day and the services they offer.All our furniture was wrapped for storage and everything was packed properly.Our 4 men crew was made of 3 Romanians and 1 Polish,who all worked extremely hard,were very polite and true experts at what they do.The packing was done very meticulously with no materials sparred to ensure a good service.I have worked before with removal companies, an industry where from my experience is ridden with many cowboys,but this outfit deserves top marks for their work and attitude.

Service cost: £1340

Having had some bad experiences with moving companies before we have decided to thoroughly research the company that will move us this time.
We have selected the top 5 companies from this website and all came around and did a home survey.
From all we have found City Removals to be the most proffesional and Nicola who did the survey left us with a very good first impression.The price was not the cheapest but we felt most confortable with their service so we selected them.
The whole process was as smooth and stress free as I was anticipating.Nothing went wrong..they came on time , did a great packing service.The 4 men team that moved us were polite , spoke good english and we felt in good hands from the moment they came to us.
I would recommend them to anyone that needs to move.

We used City Removals and Storage to move to a new flat in London and we were delighted with the service they provided, and found the price very reasonable. E-mail requests and queries were always dealt with promptly. The movers arrived on time and were extremely efficient, friendly and professional. They also expertly navigated our steep and windy staircase. We made use of the packing service and packing was done very quickly and skillfully. Items arrived securely and undamaged. Bulky flatpack furniture was disassembled and reassembled as needed and they were also happy to remove and recycle unwanted items. We would happily recommend this company and would definitely use them again.

Service cost: £470

I can't express how good this company was to deal with, right from the start.
And it all finished with 2 very helpful, cheerful, polite movers making what can be a very stressful day a lot less so.
They were tidy and placed lots of protective coverings both on the floors and the furniture. Nothing was damaged and they helped to take items apart and back together when it was required.
I would and will happily recommend this company again to my friends.
**   Thank you again! **

I wanted to move the contents of a 3 bedroom flat in central London to a farm house in West Sussex (not Brighton, that's just the nearest place I could select on this website).  Some stuff was still in the flat but most was in storage a few miles away, so loading was done from two locations.  I got about a dozen quotes from different removal companies with a range of about £550-£750. City-Removals was somewhere near the middle of the pack in terms of price, but with so many good reviews on this website I decided to go with them.  I'm glad I did - the service was excellent and well worth the small extra cost (compared to the cheapest quote).  I thought that loading from two locations might add to the cost, or cause some problems, but City Removals were fine with it. I was away prior to the move so couldn't arrange a site survey, but City Removals were happy to proceed on the basis of my expectation that we'd need a 7.5T truck and two men. Communications were clear and straight-forward throughout.  On the day they actually provided two Lutons and two men, which was fine.  They were scheduled to arrive at 8am but arrived early, which gave us a good head start.  I'm selling the flat so was concerned that no damage was done to the walls, floors, or doors during the move.  The guys were very careful and did a great job.  Everything was wrapped in blankets and secured to the sides of the vans.  I had some items that needed to be dismantled and they made short work of those.  I also had one extremely tricky item - a treadmill- which had been constructed on-site.  I didn't think we'd get it out to be honest, but the guys were very persistent and after some careful and extremely tricky manoevering they managed to get it out without damaging any walls.  The guys headed off to the storage unit while I dealt with a few things, and didn't mind at all that I kept them waiting half an hour.  Loading from storage was fast and smooth, as was unloading at the other end.  All in all I can't fault the service.  Really excellent.  I would definitely use them again (and did in fact, when I moved my parents).

It was quite a big deal for me to fork out the money to pay for a removal company, but I'm very pleased I did. I found City Removals on this website and they were exceptionally well reviewed. Their experience and professionalism showed immediately as they got in touch regarding my gross underestimation of how many boxes I would need to move and gave me some advice as to how many men and what size van would be needed which proved very astute. They also looked into parking at both ends of the journey and made me feel very at ease with the whole process.

The move itself went very smoothly. The deliverymen were courteous, quick, strong, and worked without complaint. They beat us to the new property and everything was in in no time. They also took away some items we no longer wanted, including a last minute decision which was made after the prior items were already on their way to the recycling firm.

Service cost: £840

The two guys, Mike and Alex turned up on time and were thoroughly professional the whole day. Two nicer guys you will not meet, everything you want from movers, hard working, friendly and very helpful.
The guys went out of their way to get all my stuff packed into the truck (which they only just managed to do). They were very careful with my stuff and wouldn't let me help even when I offered.
I recommend these guys and this company for anyone moving.    .

We have recently moved out  of our 2 bedroom flat from Kensington to Wandsworth.We also had a home survey done,which helped us a lot in deciding which company to go with.Thier price came somewehre in the mid range,but we felt our best option is to go with them as we were impressed by the number of reviews they had.
All turned out as expected, with the crew being very proffessional and polite.Nothing was damaged or stollen,everything got completed on time and with no stress.
Also eveyrthing we were told during the home survey happened as the crew used covers, hanging boxes,wrapped things and were generaly very carefull.
They also came and collected the boxes and paper after we finished unpacking .
Very good company to work with.

I cannot recommend City Removals enough. I had a unique situation in that I had 2 locations for furniture pick-up (one from my childhood home and one from my rental flat) to drop off at a 3rd destination. I paid an incredibly reasonable price for 2 men with a large luton van to come to the first destination (zone 5 in London) to take down my wardrobe and bed and to do the same again at my rental property in Zone 1 London. At the end destination, they unloaded everything and re-assembled all furniture. They were 1) prompt at arrival 2) the van was absolutely unscratched demonstrating how careful the driver is 3) the men were not fluent English speakers but understood enough to do an excellent job and were hard-working, professional, clean and incredibly careful with my furniture and the surroundings at all 3 locations. They arrived at 9.30am (promptly) and were with us till 7.30pm. They were positive, courteous, obliging and couldn't be any more helpful despite non-stop lifting and going up and down many a flight of stairs. Since the move, I have recommended City Removals to many friends needing a referral. .

We moved from London to Birmingham at the end of February.I wanted to write this earlyer but accomodating to our new place  took longer than expected and I had no time.
Not too much to say though as the service received was just as expected.
We had no damages and nothing missing.We were impressed with how polite , and well organized they were.Everyone knew what to do.I think the best word to describe them is proffessional.It is nice and reassuring to see how they  dismantle things how they wrap furniture etc.
All of them wanted to help and they always went the extra mile.
 Totally enjoyable  experience and based on our house move I would  totally recommend this company.

Being impressed with the reviews we found on the internet we asked them for a quote.Nicola came out and did a home survey.She was on time,polite and she handled the survey very proffessionaly.She also answerred all the questions we had in a straightforward manner.
On the same day we received the quote via email, and we decided to use them.
The moving men did their job very well.They were respectfull and they took good care of everything they touched.Everything was done on time, as we had to be out by 12:00 that day.With an early start around 11:30 they were on their way to our new house.
Unfortunately we only got our keyes at 4pm, so they had a lot of wayting to do.They are clearly trained to deal with this and their attitude remained unchanged.
It took a bit more than expected to unload as the new house had a few tight turns, and they had to dismantle furniture that came out in one piece from our previous property.
At the end of the day a company is only as good as their staff. , and this lot certainly seems to know this.
Great job.

We ve used this company to relocate from London to Bristol.I can't fault the service at all.
The guys were on time , impressivelly polite , skilled at what they do and very proffesional.
Also they were equipped with everything they needed to protect our stuff and also to dismantle and reassemble.
Communication with the office was also good.Queries were always answerred promptly and in a clear manner.
Nothing got damaged on the trip either.At delivery they placed everything where we wanted.
Nothing more to say really.A good service and all we would have wanted.

Service cost: £540

City Removals packed and storred our belongings for 2 months.We just had our stuff deliverred and we received everything in the same condition they left.Their staff were always nice and polite.
In terms of storage they work with Big Yellow.This was one of the main reasons we chose them as we think Big yellow are a lot safer than containerised storage.Also I think they have some sort of agrement as we got better prices than if we were to store with Big Yellow ourselves.
They also wrapped everything in blankets for safe storage and an inventory was provided.Quite proffessional stuff.
We felt safe and looked after thorghout the move and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Service cost: £870

So far so good. The first part of our move into storage just finished and we are very pleased with how everything went.

All of the guys that were involved were super nice and professional and they worked with the safety of our belongings as their main priority.

We had 4 men that came packed and loaded one truck in the first day and the following day 4 men came and finished the job.

We told them that we will be in storage for around 4 months and they carefully wrapped all the sensitive items.

Nicola who did the home survey was also very polite and she knew what she was talking about. We liked the fact that she immediately knew what size truck we would need ,how many men etc.

One of the guys, Adrian who coordinated everything was especially nice and skilful. He dismantled all our beds and 2 big wardrobes with ease. Also he had all the tools that you can imagine.

I was a bit doubtful at the beginning that they will be able to pack and move a 5 bedroom house in to days but I was assured that with the right number of people and resources it can be done..and it did.

Once we will find our new home and will get the stuff delivered from storage we will update this review. Hopefully, judging by the first part of the move all will be good.

Also we were handed a very thorough inventory of everything that went in storage.

It was a pleasure to move with this company..I really mean this. I have now finished unpacking and I feel as I have never moved.
Everyone in the office was very nice and polite starting with Nicola who also did our home survey. They also dealt with all the parking arrangements for us.
The guys that came and actually moved us were amazing professionals who took great pride in the work they do. Nothing was too much trouble, they were always willing to help..pure eastern European work ethics. Also they spoke very highly of their company which is a sign that they are treated well and maybe also paid well. It is always nice to see this.
Silviu was the top man. He supervised everything, he was everywhere and he was also the smartest of all.
They were also well within the timeframe as we had to be out by 12:00 from our current address. Also unfortunately they had to wait around 3 hours as we did not get the keys to our new home until around 4:00PM.
We had around 5 quotes to choose from and we are very happy we made the right choice.

Our decision to hire them was based on how well Nicola conducted the survey, price and online research and it seems it was the right one.
