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

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. .

A Completely Stress Free Move with Friendly Van.

An extremley professional and reliable service! The team at Friendly Van are very experienced, friendly, honest and efficient, they took all the stress out of moving!

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.

Efficiency and Care.

I used Friendly Van (FVRemovals) on a recommendation from a friend. I was not disappointed. From the initial phone call for a quote to our belongings being in our new place, the whole process was smooth and painless. Very professional and extremely hard working.
An early morning start was agreed (8.30am). The team turned up ahead of the agreed time which was an excellent choice and one that we were very appreciative of. In terms of the two man team, very efficient but not at the cost of care. Fragile items were carefully packed. Large items like sofas and tables were dismantled and put back together with no fuss.
I would recommend them and use them again.

Great Service – Highly Recommend.

After a last minute let down from another removal company we were lucky to find David was willing to accommodate us. Even though he had already committed to another move requiring his largest van and other team members, he agreed to use two smaller vans and make multiple trips as we were only moving a short distance away. The service we received was professional from start to finish. A quote was provided within days and boxes and packing material delivered as agreed..

On the day the team arrived on time, assessed our belongings and began work immediately. We could tell we were working with experienced professionals as by their systematic approach to dismantling our furniture and packing the van. My daughter likened it to ‘Tetris’ . Although working at speed, they did not compromise on care. The team worked extremely hard only stopping for an hours lunch. By 9pm they had moved 90+ boxes and reassembled 7 large items of furniture. Nothing was damaged and even our furniture that we had been so worried about arrived without a scratch.

The team were pleasant and good humoured throughout, even when we piped up with ‘Can you make another trip, we forgot to mention there were some boxes in the shed?”

I would not hesitate to recommend the company. Definitely a 5 star service !

London move.

The Friendly Van service was absolutely terrific. The movers arrived on time for picking up furniture and moved everything out of my old flat in 30 minutes.
When we got to my new flat, the movers helped carry up all the items (plus an Ikea delivery) when the lift in the building of my new flat was broken. Overal, the Friendly Van movers were were very professional and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality moving service.

Friendly Van - highly recommended.

I can't recommend this company enough for removals; David and his team treat your posessions like their own. They packed us and moved us into storage and then back to our home post-renovation and our things were kept safe for over 6 months in their unit. They were super careful not to damage or scratch any finishes on our brand new paintwork on the move back in. They are competitively priced (the move, packing and storage costs) and a real pleasure to be around. The team are veryu presentable and polite. If I ever move again I will certainly use them.

Feedback.

I cannot praise FV removals enough they made the whole experience as easy as possible. They offered an initial meeting to discuss the day and where happy to offer advice up untill the day. On the day they couldn't have been more helpful they worked solidly for 11 hrs with a great 'can do' attitude ,no job was too hard, and were pleasant,polite and friendly throughout. I thoroughly recommend using them.

Fanntastic move and service.

These guys moved me two weeks ago and I cannot praise them enough for the amazing service and care with my stuff. They were all very polite, clean and on time. Would not hesitate to recommend them, particularly after the dreadful service I had two years ago with another national company when I moved. Just goes to show that smaller companies give you a much better service and care much more for their clients.

A well deserved 5 stars.

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.

Moved within London (Camden).

This was the second time FV removals helped me with moving, and like the previous time they were great, very professional and very friendly.

The address we moved from was next to red route, so they found a side street with parking, and moved everything there. They were very quick and careful.

In conclusion, I can highly recommend them and will definitely ask them again for our next move.

D Knightley.

3 men worked tirelessly all day to move me out of my old property and into my new property on a very wet day. Despite the inclement weather, a great deal of care was taken to remove and protect items that could potentially get damaged. Everyone in the company including the 3 removal men themselves were beyond helpful and supportive and I can wholeheartedly recommend them as a reliable and competent removal company.

Excellent service!

Thank you very much for your team for providing such as great removal service at Steven’s house on 29th Sept. Jacob and Paul were extremely professional, friendly and polite, both turned up at 8 AM punctually. The service on the moving day was very efficient and up to the highest standards! The move into the new home was smooth, the team took great care to move everything safely and went out their way to meet all requirements.

Fantastic company to deal with – Would thoroughly recommend FV Removals for anyone who wants a stress free move and will definitely be using your services again in the future.

Thanks again.

Watford to Wigan move.

When I first spoke to Dawid on the phone I got a good feeling, he was receptive to what our requirements were and gave us options on how to do the move.

Came to our house to give quote (two other companies wanted self-assessment which ruled them out for me), was very presentable guy and instilled trust and confidence.

Quote was v competitive and included dissemble and reassemble of beds which nearest quote didn’t offer and wanted £1000 more.

On the day, team arrived on time. Hard workers and good to work with.

Would thoroughly recommend.

Quick, Timely and very easy to work with.

I have used FV Removals 3 times in a short space of time and with little notice. Each time they were fantastic and very flexible. The guys helping moved everything we needed and delivered it promptly. Even if I was unable to be on premises when they moved our office equipment, they listened to what I needed moved and ensured it was taken care of.

Great to work with.

Excellent service! Very friendly team happy to take care of all work. We were talked through the whole process before hand and all details were explained to us so that we know what it will look like and how to prepare. Guys came on time and there were no issues to stay until late night to complete loading (loading completed at 1am). Much appreciated and will definitely use again.

FV Removals made my day.

I was moving from London to Ipswich. I thought that moving place is very stressful, however David and his colleague proved that it can be done without a hassle. They were amazing and they made my day. They are so professional and experienced in removals. They moved all of my cardboard boxes and other items very quickly and carefully. All my belongings were delivered undamaged. I appreciate their help and company during the removal. I can definitively recommend them. Also, I will use their service whenever I decide to move out. Thank you.

Highly recommended.

We used FV removals for a move from London to Berlin. We were extremely happy with the service they provided. Dawid was very communicative throughout the process, and his team were on time at both ends, hard working, and friendly. We didn't have a place to live straight away in Berlin, so Dawid arranged to put our belongings in storage. When we finally found a flat, he was able to arrange delivery shortly after. All of our possessions arrived safely and were well looked after. I would highly recommend FV Removals, and if I move again in the future, I would use them again.
