Excellent service

Booked home remove service with changing places. They arrived on time, carefully remove all things around. We moved on the very hot day, all of them worked so hard, to get us in on time. Would recommend to friends

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!

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.

House move

Colin and his team were very professional. They packed and wrapped everything efficiently. They loaded the vans which included lots of garden items and a full garage of clutter!

The team unloaded everything and put all our belongings in the rooms we asked them too. They made up our bed. They even bought me a coffee. I would highly recommend Colin and his professional friendly team.

Long-distance move from Hertfordshire to Northamptonshire

Excellent Experience

Colin and team were fantastic throughout the whole experience. From the initial quote visit, Colin was a clear communicator and we had a mutual understanding of requirements and expectations from day one. We opted to go for a packed service, and it was 100% the right choice. Colin’s team came the day before the move to wrap / protect, pack and label our whole house. No question was too much and we had no breakages! On the move day, it was much of the same, a slick process meaning we were on the road by noon, at the new house by 1.30pm and unloaded by 3pm.

I cannot emphasise how simple Changing Places made our move. Thank you team, fully recommend!!

Excellent local move

The Changing Places team was fully contactable and very helpful in making the arrangements for the move and providing packing materials in advance. They were honest and clear on the expected cost of the move which was very competitive and more cost effective when compared with our options. On the day, they took great care of our items and worked quickly and efficiently (actually coming in below budget due to their speed). They also dismantled and reassembled some larger pieces of furniture for us and did a great job. Would definitely recommend Changing Places.

House move

I contacted Colin when we planned to move house recently. Communication right from the start was excellent and Colin delivered unlimited boxes and tape to me. On moving day Colin and the guys arrived on time and moved all our furniture to our new house with great care, everything went smoothly thanks to them and they made a usually stressful experience stress free, I would have no hesitation in using them again and recommending them to anyone else, thanks guys, you were amazing, Val Morris

Long-distance move from Hertfordshire to Hertfordshire

Local move from Kings Langley to Chipperfield

We contacted Colin for a quote to move us to our new home just before Christmas 2023. Colin called me & we arranged for him to come round to quote. He was very helpful & fully explained how his company could help us. He said he would email me with a quote later that day which he did. This qoute was very competitive. A date was set for 21st December and he said he would drop off some boxes & packaging materials so we could do our own packing.

A few days later he dropped off the first lot of boxes etc. More boxes were dropped off on the coming days.

On the moving day Colin & his team arrived and stated loading our boxes & furniture. Everything was packed onto the vans & went smoothly.

My wife went on ahead of our move for that she coul take delivery of new white goods.

I stayed on at our old home just to finish up cleaning & by the the time I arrived at our new home they were just finishing up the delivery.

All of our home had been safely delivered with no damage or breakages.

I can highly recommend Colin & his team for a first class professional removal job.

Thank you so much.

Long-distance move from St Albans, Hertfordshire to Seaford, East Sussex

Hertfordshire to East Sussex

After a few quotes which included 18 tonne trucks and moving across 2 days. We decided to use Changing places as Colin was sure it could be done in a day with smaller trucks.

This turned out to be the correct decision as the move went very smoothly.

Colin and his team were hard working and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone for a stress free move.

Fantastic local company!

I can't recommend Changing Places enough. From their unbelievable price, obvious experience and above and beyond attitude, our move was made as pain free as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. Free boxes, tape and stickers delivered well before the move date and more if needed. A million thanks to Colin, Neil and the team for their hard work and friendly attitude!
