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

Friendly and efficient people.

Many thanks to David and his team for making the move as painless as possible. The guys worked really hard non-stop to move us to our new home. They were very careful not to damage either our belongings or the properties. Very reliable service. I also used David's team afterwards to move some items out of storage; there was just me and one guy and a transit and he worked really hard to help me move what ended up being many more items than I had previously anticipated.

Stress free moving!

I would recommend using Friendly Van for your removal needs. Booking was easy and I received great customer service. The movers were friendly, professional and efficient, it took them less than 3 hours to move the contents of my 3BR house (furnitures were already disassembled and boxes packed when they arrived). They arrived early with a large truck and gave us a 30-60 minute notice before they arrived. There were no damages during the move. Their rates are also very reasonable. Thanks Friendly Van, would definitely use again. .

It's all in the name.

I have moved many times, but only used Friendly Van this time, and this was the best experience of them all.  From the first contact, to the day of payment, they were professional, courteous and friendly! The price was competitive, the service was excellent but most importantly they were extremely careful and conscienctious, didn't damage anything and they did it with a smile on their faces! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Wish I had found them years ago.

Highly Recommended.

I called Friendly van based on a recommendation from our office manager after using them for our office removal (commercial). I called friendly van as a private client and received an amazing service. The guys were very friendly, efficient and the move went as smooth as possible.    I called Friendly van based on a recommendation from our office manager after using them for our office removal (commercial).

Domestic removals.

These chaps made our moving experience easy. From the initial quote to the day of moving they were professional and efficient. I would highly recommend using these chaps if you are moving house. The moving day was handled so quickly and carefully we were almost redundant, completely out of the old house and into the new house by 4pm - and that included dismantling and reassembling furniture. Brilliant - USE USE USE :).

Thanks Friendly Van!

Thank you to David and his team! The guys arrived on time and our house was packed into their two vans in no time. The guys were very proffessional & friendly. We were concerned that we wouldn't be able to get our large sofas through a rather narrow doorway but the guys managed to do this without any problems. I would highly recommend the Friendly Van Team & would use them again without hesitation. Many Thanks!

Very reliable and efficient.

I was all round happy with Friendly Van's team of two guys. They arrived ten minutes early and then quickly and efficiently got on with the job. They took good care of my things and were just so wonderfully reassuring about everything. Even at pretty short notice the booking went really well. I paid a £50 deposit in the couple of days before, had confirmation email through and didn't have to give my credit card number or an inventory list. A rough estimate of how much I had was enough. David in the office dealt with my queries and was just very reassuring. I was delighted that the guys finished quicker than planned (despite a second floor) and did a great job at distributing the furniture in the right places. I am very happy with the company and will use them again in future. It couldn't have gone any better and I recommend them whole-heartedly.

Highly Recommended.

The team at Friendly Van live up to their name as well as being very effecient and professional.  
Arriving promtply at the scheduled pickup time the two man team quickly helped me load the van.  By the time I made my way to my new home by train they had already completely unloaded everything so that my girlfriend could start unpacking. 
They made what I though to be the most stressful part of my move the easiest and I cannot praise them enough for this.

Friendly Van was great!

Friendly Van helped us move our stuff from 2-3 bed house into a 3rd floor flat and they did it with great care and attention to detail. Marek and his team on the day were courtious and super efficient, packing everything into the van with amazing speed but making sure that things were safe. At the other end they once again dealt wonderfully with the less than ideal distance between the flat and where we were able to park and I would wholeheartedly recommend them for home removals.  David who came to quote for the job was also very friendly and helpful so all in all Friendly Van gets the thumbs up from us! .

Moving house couldn't be easier with FV.

Moving house can be quite a stressful experience, but Friendly Van made it so smooth and easy we couldn't be happier with the service. They were quick to come to our flat and assess the job and very professional and efficient on the day. We moved from a 3 bedroom flat to a bigger house and the job took the whole day. I would recommend Friendly Van to everyone. Thanks to David and his team!

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

London to Oxford - excellent and uncomplicated.

We had a great experience and no problems at all moving from a 2-bed flat to a 3-bed house. The team was friendly, efficient and reliable. Everything happened as expected and we were overall satisfied. We had three pick-up locations in London (a friend's bed, my office, our actual flat) and that was also no problem as you pay hourly.. we would recommend FriendlyVan and use them again, if needed.

Friendly Van.

I was really impressed with Friendly Van.  We had a complicated move with storage required and multiple pick up points but the team handled it really well.  They also provided an extra van for additional items at a reduced rate. It really was incredible to see how much they can fit in one van! Very fast and professional service and would highly recommend.  Thanks to David and the team.

Great service, good cost.

Everything went very smooth with David and his team. The contents of our flat were collected at the agreed time - at it was very easy. We kept our items in storage for about 6 months. Adding a few things after they were already in storage and then got everything delivered to our new address right on time. FV came as a recommendation and I'd very happily pass on that recommendation to others.

Great Job Done.

David and his team stepped in when our usual movers could not assist us on our chosen date.

David was friendly and professional from the first appointment to moving day. The move was complicated and required packing on Day 1 and moving on Day 3. David and his team made sure we had our essentials left out for use. Everything was done with great care and good humour and the move went by without a hitch. Can't rate the team highly enough - they made a stressful experience go very smoothly.

I would happily use this company again and think they offered great service and value for money.

Professional, fast and well priced removal company.

Fantastic removal company. Personable, polite, professional, fast and well priced. They dismantled and reassembled all large pieces of furniture and all our belongings were treated with great care.
David had a team available at short notice which was great as our completion date came up very fast!
Friendly Van Removals made our house-move a calm and enjoyable experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your move!

My second time !

I first move with them 14 months ago.
As everything went nice, smooth, clean, polite it was obvious for me to contact them again for our last move on December 6 , 2015.
They arrived at 7.30 on dot, like expected.
The team of three I had booked started right away.
It took all day, until 6.30/7 pm. 3 trips with the truck. Dismantle and re mantle furnitures and bed.
We were sleeping in the new house on the exact same day.
They kept always the same smile, even after a long and tiring day, going up and down three floors on each house.

5 star!

FV Removals were excellent. What we thought was a lot of stuff was nothing to them and they had the whole flat packed into the van in about half hour. When the sofa wouldn't fit through the door, they knew exactly how to lower out through the window safely and quickly and had all the right materials to do so.

They took great care in all of our belongings and made sure things were secure in the van.

Our guys were such a huge help on a very stressful move day and I can't thank you enough! Will definitely use again :).

Friendly van - moving made easy.

It was the first time I had used a removal company and I am so glad I chose Friendly Van. They  were exactly that, they made what was a hectic experience go so smoothly. I could not ask for better service in moving my unorganise items from a 3 bed hse to a 1st flr 2 bed flat. They went the extra mile in assisting me in the best way to package my items and at a resonable cost which included setting-up my furniture in my new home. .

Home move.

David and his team provided excellent, friendly service at a reasonable rate. They arrived in a timely manner, properly packed what was needed, and took care with all goods. Communication was easier and efficient and professional throughout. One item was damaged and David and team promptly took responsibility and ensured that it was repaired to a high standard. I would absolutely use FriendlyVan for my next move.

Excellent company. Would use again.

My parents used Friendly Van Removals in 2013 and had an excellent experience and they were so thrilled that I booked David and his company. We moved from Ealing, London via Barnet and finally offloading near Stevenage. David was very clear and straightforward with costs, timings and procedure. He and his team are very efficient, work very very hard and are trustworthy and respectful. We have since recommended to others to use Friendly Van Removals and although we hope to not move again, if we did we would use David. My recommendation is just book them, no need to shop around as the costs are competitive and you will be in very good hands.

Prompt, professional, friendly.

I couldn't have wanted for more from a removal company. They were on time to the minute, found parking just outside the gated develop and managed to find their way to our new home easily. 

I have nothing to compare them to since this is the first time I've instructed a removal company but frankly, the service was so good that I doubt I'll need to go else in the future.

Special mention to Mark and Jacob who did the removal.

Great service for half the price.

I have used Friendly Van twice for a house move, and both times they have been absolutely great. They are hardworking and polite guys, and nothing is a problem. They worked from 8am to 10pm one of the days, without any complaint or drop in the level of service or friendliness. I would definitely recommend them for any type of moving job. Also, much cheaper than most home packing and moving services. .

Highly recommended.

We used Friendly Van to move our flat contents - including a lot of books - from London to Oxford. The team visited us first to assess how much material we had, and also provided extra boxes and hanging garment carriers which they dropped off for us in advance of the move. Throughout, they were efficient and professional, even when they found we had slightly more books than anticipated! Their price for the day's work was incredibly reasonable, and we wouldn't hesitate to book them again. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend their fantastic service! Thank you again and I look forward to using them again when I next move house.
