FV Removals

Very impressed with this company. The guys were courteous, well presented and worked cleanly and carefully. Had good pace while still working methodically when the situation required.
They disassembled and then reassembled my old furniture with care, intelligence and high expertise in order to get it into my new, smaller flat.
They also carried a (digital) baby grand piano down a steep fire escape without a word of complaint - for which they deserve a medal! They even moved the piano several times until we found the optimum position for it in its new home - some positions were of their suggestion. So don't be afraid to ask for interior advice!
Absolutely perfect service, would trust them with any job.

Fantastic work with Friendly Van once again. We used them over 5 times. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a friendly professional moving service. One recommendation would be to ask the guys to bring plenty of boxes. We had a 2 bdrm flat and the estimated number of boxes we would need turned out to be less than what we required which meant one of the guys had to go get extra boxes. The most impressive thing was how the movers meticulously packed each China plate we had and other fragile items. Very impressive and well worth the money.

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.

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.

Friendly Van moved us from London to Essex. This was the first time we ever moved and we had 12 years of things I was very stressed and David with Friendly Van basically saved the day. David went out if his way to communicate, give us packing advice and reaassure me the many times I called having to reschedule. Marek moved us on the day and he was wonderful. Friendly Van went over and above anything I could have expected they are professional courteous helpful and I have already referred them to friends. I can't say enough about them they really saved the day. Kind Regards, Daniela.

I chose Friendly Van, a london based removal service (who had excellent online reviews) to move the contents of our 1 bed roomed flat from Shepherds Bush to Covent Garden. We had A LOT of stuff, and the new flat was located up 7 flights of stairs so wasn't an easy move. This wasn't a problem for Friendly Van who quoted me only £45 per hour for two guys and a van and the service was fantastic. A two man team arrived at 12 and they we're completely finished by 1.30. In fact, next time i'll be using their packing-service too. I'll remember, that we don't have to do everything ourselves! They made the move easy and were quick, efficient and very skilled.  Friendly Van were exceptional.  Friendly, professional, relaiable and importantly very fast. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a quick and simple solution to moving home.  Its nice to work with a company that are so personal and friendly. I will be using them again for my next move. Thanks guys! .

This is the second time in 2 years I've used Friendly Van to move - each time between 3-bed flats. Each staff member has been exceptional with regard to providing details on the service, confirming timing and requirements, professionalism and stamina on the day to accomplish the move in record time and pack the van COMPLETELY full to avoid multiple trips, then unload again in record time. I had some tricky furniture to carry to the 3rd floor and everything arrived without a scratch or complaint. Very impressive company. For the second move, I also used Friendly Van to do my end of tenancy cleaning which was of EXCEPTIONAL quality. I recommend this company highly.

Facing a choice to decide who will move all our possessions was not an easy one. On the one hand, the famous larger companies who, just because of advertising, we felt more confident to use, as if we already knew them. However, their representatives were all the same when they came to our house to quote for the job - they were showy, sharp and expensive. In contrast, David of The Friendly Van Company was pleasant and courteous but above all, natural and honest. He just gave an air of being able to do a great job for us, without all the brashness of the 'bigger boys'. Also, David's quote was much cheaper and at first this strangely worried us - would you get a better job done by paying more? Well The Friendly Van company was the one we chose and we are delighted with the choice. I strongly recommend you use them. They moved all our furniture and 129 boxes starting early at 7.30 am and finishing at about 4.30 pm the same day with all our furniture positioned exactly where we wanted it. Of course some bits needed to be repositioned in the house but nothing was too much of a problem for the team. The company showed hardworking, team effort and with polite good humoured staff - Look no further, David and his team were better than we could have ever hoped for. No damages and everything Friendly Van did made the experience of moving actually a pleasure! They collected our boxes within a day of us asking them to call back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Stephen Jacobs    .

I was attracted by all the great reviews. David came to estimate the work and he came across well. I got the quote which wasn't the lowest. I was a little wary of the company not being listed at Companies House, wondering if it was legitimate, but then I found that it was VAT registered, which gave me confidence. The other companies I got quotes from had less favourable reviews so I employed FV. And I'm glad I did.

Everything went according to schedule, over two days. The crew, including David, were careful with our things, courteous, and very hard working. Nothing was damaged, nothing went missing. On the second day they worked several hours longer than they'd planned, (the job was bigger than the estimate), and even though they were in a hurry because they had another small job to go to that evening, when we asked them to move things around they were completely happy to do so.

I was impressed enough to tip them at the end of the job and I definitely recommend them.

We have just used Friendly Van Removals for the third time, although friends have also used them based on our recommendation. Their level of service is absolutely excellent and I really believe you would struggle to find a better removal company anywhere in the UK.

David is thoroughly professional and demonstrates great care and attention to detail, from the original quote, through to packing and transportation. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about this company is their ability to respond to and solve unexpected challenges - it seems that nothing is too difficult or too much trouble for them!

Every member of the crew is incredibly personable, friendly and easy to work with. Jacob, Mat and Tomas could not do enough for us. We used their packing service, which was speedy and efficient and meant that all our belongings were professionally boxed. When we arrived at the new house, the team were utterly determined to make all our large furniture fit into a very small house and they managed to do so without touching any walls or scraping anything (I was carrying a cardboard box around and managed to bump into a door frame - I don't know how they do it!!) They have a very impressive work ethic and work quickly and efficiently, remaining completely unfazed by any extraordinary request. They never seem to get tired and keep smiling no matter how difficult things get (two of our moves were extremely challenging!)

David also managed to arrange carpet cleaning and an end of tenancy clean for us at very short notice, which was so welcome because we were moving a long way from London. I don't know how he manages to arrange all these things without skipping a beat - nothing seems to faze him. It's so good to be able to hand these responsibilities over and know that you are assured of the best service from someone you really trust.

I could wax lyrical about the amazing attributes of this company all day, but probably the last thing to say in this review is that the charges are always incredibly reasonable. It's difficult to understand how they manage to provide such a first rate service at such a low cost.

It's possible that we have now moved too far away to use Friendly Van Removals again, which is tragic because we know we will never find such an excellent company anywhere else!

Thank you so much Friendly Van, for making our house moves go so smoothly. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Debbie, Tim and Toby.

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.

Service cost: £230

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 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! .
