Removal from Hertfordshire to Devon

I highly recommend Colin and his team for any removals! The team helped us move from Hertfordshire to Devon and they were fantastic! Nothing was a problem and no issues. They arrived on time, packed the house, loaded the van and drove all the way to Devon to then unpack and drive home! Friendly, reliable and efficient. Really recommend and would use again!

Thanks again guys! Appreciate all of the teams hard work!

Expensive, Badgering and Intimidating.

I invited Mr Hosier to my home to quote for a removal service and packing service from Watford to Milton Keynes. He quoted promptly by e-mail as requested but more 1,400 more expensive than Supamoves who was my alternate company quoting for the job. Mr Hosier then asked my by text if I had received his quote, telling me he was still interested in the job which I found a little odd. When I explained that I would go with Supamoves due to the price being considerably lower for the same service, insurance, and customer reviews Mr Hosier proceeded to insinuate that I should not have invited him to quote at all, I actually feel quite intimidated by his attitude, his use of my private phone text facility to badger me and general overbearing demeanour. I urge you if you are a woman alone or looking for a no strings quote not to go to this company. Please find below text exchange between Mr Hosier and myself following the initial quote: Mr H: Did you get the quote?? Very keen still about the job? Me: I did, thank you very much for the speedy turnaround, unfortunately the other quote I had was considerably lower. I'm sorry but I will be going for the other company as they are also established, fully insured and have published positive testimonials. Once again many thanks for your interest. Mr H: I too have published testimonials but if you had made up your mind before I came round I am extremely disappointed that you let me come round and quoted Me: I'm sorry that you feel that I had made up my mind before you arrived. I had not, but as I explained the other quote I had was considerably lower, for what appears to be the same quality of service. How you thought I could have made the comparison on price before receiving your quote is beyond me. Please try for future customers to remember that this is business and petty, ill-informed comments like the one you have just made are beneath you in the professional environment. Please do not contact me again. Mr H: Tough.

Long-distance move from Hertfordshire to Cheshire

Responsive, reliable and hard-working team!

Would wholeheartedly recommend Colin and his A-team for their house removal service! He squeezed us in on what was already an extremely busy week for him and for a large job moving from Hemel Hempstead to 2 sites in Cheshire (a storage unit and a home). Packing materials were provided in advance of our move which were much appreciated and on move-day they were punctual, courteous and determined to do a good job. The quote was really competitive compared to others that we had received and Colin and the team managed to do the whole job in one day which was great!

Really appreciate your help with the big move Colin, please send our thanks to the rest of the team too! Would have no hesitation to recommend you to anyone wanting a professional service for a house move!

Fantastic Service! Cannot Fault

Colin and his team moved us a few days ago and were fab!

The team arrived on time and were careful with all our belongings (and nothing is broken the other side!)

We had to wait a few hours between the house being packed up to getting the completion notice and the keys to the new house but the team were patient and ready to start unloading as soon as we had the keys!

All packing materials and boxes were included in the price and if we needed more that wasn’t an issue.

Colin was so helpful and easy to contact and even though our date kept changing, he did his best to accommodate us and make everything less stressful!

Thank you, would 100% recommend

Long distance move from Hemel to Letchworth

Chris & Neil dealt with our move.

They turned up on time and had a positive attitude. They also had great communication with us.

They got the job done promptly and professionally. I feel they took great care of our belongings and were understanding of our situation (we had a sleeping newborn in one of the rooms)!

Prior to the move, Colin came round and dropped off packing materials which was super helpful. We also had great communication there and overall a great price.

I would definitely recommend them for any moves you have!

Beat the Heat

Moving Places was recommended to me by a colleague, I couldn't be happier with their services.

Colin and his team worked exceptionally hard to pack and move our very cluttered home. It was all during the July heatwave yet they remained cool, calm and collected.

I used their full packing option; there wasn't a single issue with lost or broken items. The packing materials are reusable,recycled and plastic free too!

Colin communicated regularly and tthoroughly. I can see why they were recommended and I'll be doing the same!

Excellent moving service.

Colin and his team moved me last week and they were excellent.

All packing materials and boxes were included in the price and they were happy to provide more and at a time convenient for me.

Colin was very easy to contact and extremely helpful with additional requests such as storage and date / location changes.

During the move, Colin and the team were polite and efficient and moved all of my belongings safely up two flight of stairs with no lift!

Long-distance move from Bedford, Bedfordshire to Bedford, Bedfordshire

5 star service!

We recently had the pleasure of using Changing Places Removals with our move from Hemel Hempstead to Turvey in Bedfordshire. Colin and his team were friendly, reliable, professional and hard working and made the whole experience far less stressful for us, having to exchange and complete on the same day! They were extremely patient, having to wait nearly two hours, while we waited for the keys and final completion. We would highly recommend Colin and his team.

Long-distance move from Bedford, Bedfordshire to Chester, Cheshire

Excellent service with reasonable prices.

Colin and the team were fantastic. From the first visit to work out the size of the job, to delivering packing materials, and of course, the moving day itself, everything went smoothly. There was no fuss and nothing was a problem. Our move required 2 vans and over a 3 hour drive from Bedfordshire to Shropshire. If you are looking for a competitive price with fantastic service, look no further. Highly recommended!

Friendly, reliable and hard working.

Colin and his team helped us move out of our flat into our new house in October. His communications in the lead up were great and he was very friendly and helpful. On the day they turned up on time and soldiered on through the day to load and unload and get us moved in. They didn't rush us when we arrived and walked into our new home, allowing my wife and I a moment of calm to take it all in and check the house. Would recommend without a doubt.

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

Very reliable.

Colin helped me out at short notice when another company I'd planned to use let me down.  He and his team were 100% reliable and did everything they said they'd do on time.  Colin supplied plenty of boxes free of charge plus packing materials and tape and delivered them within 48 hours of booking.  On the day his team worked really hard and got the job done very quickly so that it cost less money and took less time than the quote.  They took good care of all my possessions and were friendly and helpful.  I will be recommending them to my local friends.

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

Great company!

We used changing places about a month ago to move from St. Albans to Barnet. Would highly recommend! Very friendly men, who made the move much easier. All boxes and bubble wrap supplied, included in the price and were delivered to our home. Everything was well protected and quickly moved into the new house. There were some big obstacles for them in the new house, including a steep set of stairs and small door but everything was safely moved. Great company!

Reliable and great value.

Have used this company three times now, and would recommend them to a friend without hesitation.  All three moves were fairly standard (nothing particularly unusual or valuable/fragile).  The service was efficient and friendly, and excellent value for money. Emails were answered promptly, and nothing was damaged in any of the moves.  The packing service in particular was really well priced, and I had no complaints at all about the finished result. .

Long-distance move from Inverness, Highland to Watford, Hertfordshire

Great service.

I have used this company twice in the last few years and both times they have been consistent with really good service. They stuck to their quote. They were fast, friendly and very courteous. If I move again, I would certainly be using them. It was nice to have the same gentleman that visited the property attending the house move. This always fills you with confidence. I also ran out of boxes whilst I was packing but it wasn't any trouble at all for Colin to drop more boxes and tape round.

Wonderful Service.

I cannot fault the service that we received from Colin and his team.

Colin came to our house to see how much stuff we had to move, and estimate the size of van required and number of men needed. He also provided us with many boxes, including wardrobe boxes, plus materials like marker pens and tape.

On moving day, the team arrived at bang on 9 o'clock as agreed. Everything was packed up by 12, including dismantling 3 pieces of furniture. We got the keys at 1, and by 3.30 everything was in the new house, in the right rooms, and all the dismantled furniture had been reassembled.

The whole team were wonderfully friendly and efficient. Everything arrived in good condition. I was very impressed by how fast and efficient the team were, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.

Changing Places - Excellent service.

Fantastic company to go with. We were recommended Colin at Changing Places by several friends of ours in St Albans and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them ourselves. Fast reasonable quote, arrived on time, and were always friendly and polite. Handled the move carefully and efficiently like the pro's they obviously are. Everything ran like clockwork. They took all the stress out of what is traditionally a very stressful experience.

Brilliant Removal Experience.

I moved from Harpenden in Hertfordshire to New Mills in High Peak, Derbyshire last Summer.I found the experience from start to finish brilliant. I found this removals firm  was quoting me the best price by a considerable margin but felt completely at ease after speaking with Colin explaining he would be putting all my goods into storage at the other end. There was no letters and  flyers being sent out to me which I was very happy about unlike many other firms. On the day of the move they arrived early and got straight on with the job. They packed the truck well so all my goods were secure for travelling and used blankets to protect furniture. They completed the loading promptly and then set off to my destination not wasting any time. The unloading was swiftly transferred into the storage rooms and throughout they were hard working and courteous. I recommend  CHANGING PLACES REMOVALS for all your removals,100%.

Lateness.

They were only late because two drivers got lost! Easily done, as this is a new property and confused the sat nav. Overall we were very pleased with the service., and the men were professional and cheerful throughout. They spent a lot of time and effort trying to get an old, and very large, chest of drawers up the stairs, but didn't manage it. Not their fault, it was just too big!
We also paid for them to pack up, which was quite a mammoth task!

Excellent removal service!

Our experience with Changing places was superb. They came round and provided a free of charge quote and then provided all of our boxes free of charge (we packed ourselves) and were helpful with all of our questions and concerns. On the day they were extremely polite and helpful. They also picked up items from two other addresses for us. They had no complaints but got straight on with the job. They were extremely fast and efficient at getting our boxes and furniture out of the house in good time. They were careful with all our items. When we arrived at the new property they checked exactly where we wanted each item and box. They unloaded all of our items with great speed giving us lots of time in the afternoon to unpack the boxes and enjoy our new home! Overall, their good humour and professionalism made the whole day so much easier. Thank you Changing Places!

Very good.

Though it was not a big move, it was handled with great professionalism. The men were quick and knew their stuff. I felt in safe hands. They were on time and prompt and the van was clean. They managed to lift the heavy items with great care. The small items were packed very well as well.                                                                                                    .

Very good.

Though this was a small move, it was dealt with very professionally. The ordering was done through an email and I got a promt reply and a follow up phone call. I was fitted in even though they were busy on that day. The men were very good and efficient and got the job done very quickly. All my belongings were carefully packed on the van. A very good service.                                                        .
