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

Changing Places.

I used Colin and his team to move house in Berkhamsted in July 2015 and I must say I can't recommend them enough, great service, friendly and polite team and very efficient, they managed a four bed house in two hours. Overall I was very impressed with Changing places for both cost and service and will certainly be recommending them to friends. 
Thanks again Colin and your team.
Regards,
Steven .

Great removals!

Very well priced, hard working and professional. I would thoroughly recommend their services to anyone! They dismantled and reassembled many pieces of furniture and reinstalled all of our white goods. The price refers to full packing service in addition to moving. The packing was completed the day before whilst we were out. They had the whole house arranged and just left the necessary items out for the night and the following morning.

4 Bed Detached House Move.

Colin was excellent from first contact to driving away. Very good communication and excellent help with planning including wrapping and box assistance. On the day, his team were efficient, hard working and very careful. We have some very high quality furniture and electronics so the extra packing and thought were very appreciated. We were done 1 hour ahead of schedule. They took direction well and were also good fun to chat to. Overall we had a great experience with Changing Places and would strongly recommend them to anyone needing a careful, diligent and professional service. Pricing is mid point compared to others and well worth it for the extra care taken.

Made moving easy!

Colin initially dropped off some boxes in the weeks leading up to my house move (at no extra charge) which meant I could begin to pack and be ready on the day. The removal was fast and the guys were professional and helpful. On arriving at the new property unloading was also extremely quick and they have allowed me time to unpack without needing to rush to give the boxes back. Very easy move for me and would recommend.

Removal Relocation.

Colin & Chris were excellent. I cannot thank them enough for my relocation. From start to finish they were professional, helpful & took great care of my belongings. They arrived very early in the morning to pack my belongings and worked very late to ensure I was settled and all my furniture was in place. It's been very easy and a pleasure to work with them. I would recommend them without question.

Christmas move.

Our completion date was 2 days before Xmas, Colin and his team arrived early and speedily loaded contents of our house. Due to solicitors delaying everything on the day, Colin and the team were extremely patient and waited at our new house until 4.30 when we eventually got the keys. Despite them having such a long and boring day hanging around, they completed the move without complaint. We were not charged any waiting time charges on top of the original rate quoted (some companies had quoted high charges if they had been delayed) and the rate was very reasonable. We would not hesitate in recomending this company.

Changing Places Removals.

Colin arrived on time to quote and he followed up quickly with a very competitive price. He and his team arrived early on my moving day - between Christmas and New Year 2016 - and kept working until everything was loaded. He and the team made it to Winchester without any breakages and helped us place the furniture exactly where we needed it. Helpful, reliable, hard working and good value! Changing Places Removals helped me deconstruct and reconstruct furniture, unplumbed a washing machine and got everything I needed in one Luton van load. Perfect!

Changing Places Removal.

We recently moved from Hemel Hempstead to Coleford in Gloucestershire.Colin and the team from Changing Places Removals were excellent from start to finish.In the two weeks leading up to the move we had a couple of possible completion dates, and Colin was very supportive in trying to fit us in at a busy time. As it happened, we exchanged contracts and completed the next day, and Changing Places Removals were there for us on time. The move went very smoothly, and relatively stress free thanks to Colin and the team. We highly recommend Changing Places Removals.

Long-distance move from Luton, Bedfordshire to Norwich, Norfolk

Recently moved home.

We was recently moved by Colin, from Hemel Hempstead to Norfolk, if was a bit hit and miss with completion dates but Colin was always patient and helpful.
On moving day Colin and his team arrived with two vans as agreed punctual and professional, a great team who worked non stop, but still being polite and chatty, nothing was too much trouble.
They ensured our move was smooth and stress free and we can't thank them enough.
I would recommend Colin and Changing Places without a doubt and if we moved again would not hesitate to use them. If you want a stress free move you should definately use Changing Places Removals,
Thank you to Colin and a great team with him **.

Outstanding Service!

OUTSTANDING! OUTSTANDING! OUTSTANDING!
I contacted Changing Places just three days before moving house and spoke to Colin the Owner. He was very responsive and helpful and given the very short timescales offered assurances he would be able to assist with our 28 mile move North and for a competitive price too!

On moving day, Chris and Jay arrived promptly, were extremely polite and explained the plan of the day. Shortly after, Neil and Colin arrived in a further two vans. They provided floor runners (thanks Chris) throughout the property and treated my exiting house and furniture with care. The same courtesy was provided at the new property. The two weeks leading up to moving day had been very stressful but these guys just made our actual move day a calm and pleasant experience. It’s was such a pleasure speaking to you all. I would highly recommend Colin and the team to anyone moving home.

I wish to Thank everyone of the team members for their support last Thursday.

Long-distance move from Luton, Bedfordshire to Coventry, Warwickshire

A wise choice!

We asked for estimates/quotes from several companies and Changing Places was very competitive. We also felt that Colin had assessed our requirements most accurately and realistically e.g. others were suggesting a 2 day move was necessary ( from Hemel H to Rugby) and Colin knew it could easily be done in 1 day. We felt that was correct, as we had little furniture but a reasonable pile of belongings. The team of 4 arrived at 8.15 a.m. and were heading for the M1 by 11.30 a.m. A team of 3 unloaded swiftly and carefully and headed back to Hemel before dusk. There were no breakages and no damage to the fabric of either our old or new homes. We were very pleased.
Throughout, Colin was very pleasant to deal with. Boxes and packaging materials were delivered as we requested them. Dates were provisionally booked and cancelled and re-booked and Colin was always very understanding.
We wish Colin and team all the best - they are good and hard workers - they deserve to prosper. Many thanks Colin and apologies that this review did not get done immediately. Bob and Wanda.

Great removal company and good guys.

I can not recommended these guys highly enough. After getting quotes from other companies I was recommended Changing Places from a neighbour. Colin came round with a quote the same day I spoke with him and I liked him straight away. He also gave a great price which I excepted. The guys turned up on time on the moving day and with my little help they made the move easy and with no stress!! All large items were wrapped up well and I'm pleased to say nothing at all was broken or scratched.

Brilliant.

The move was the least stressful experience I had, the team was great. They were very careful with all our stuff and placed everything in place as I have asked. Also everything was done quickly and clean. I would recommend this company to anyone I know. The company was great in all communication and replied all our enquiries from quote to moving date which has changed several times prior to completing on our house.We have used Changing places for three moves already Which proves how happy we were with their services.

Changing places were fantastic.

From Colin who took my initial booking through to the prompt arrival of the van in Burford the boys were fantastic. They were organised, polite and took good care of all the items. Delivery near Milton Keyes was similarly stress free. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly to anyone and would definitely use them again. Thank you to Chris and colleague ( whose name I have forgotten- apologies.).

Hard working professionals.

Thank you to Colin and his team for moving us so quickly and efficiently. A true professional from the outset and it was lovely to find that the van had been unpacked when we arrived in Hove, having been stuck in traffic. Colin always responded to me asking for more packaging or boxes which meant that I was able to take my time packing up in the weeks preceding the move.
I can't recommend this company enough. Down to earth and extremely professional.

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

Excellent value and friendly, helpful staff.

We booked Changing Places for our move from Berkhamsted, Herts to nearby Bucks (not London to Oxford - this site only gives you about 10 location options!) and would definitely use them again. Colin and has team were prompt, courteous, careful, friendly and the service was excellent value for money. We were moving in a relatively short space of time and weren't able to pack everything up in advance, so selected the full 'pack and move' service. Aside from half a dozen boxes, Colin and his team packed up everything - and dismantled/reassembled all our bulky furniture (beds, drawers, cots, wardrobes etc) for us. This service cost a little extra, but we'd never do anything else again! It took all the stress out of the move and meant that, just hours after leaving our old house, everything was in place and fully assembled at the other end!  The Changing Places team were fast, polite and actually very good company, taking the stress out of a very stressful day.  Colin even popped round a week after our move to kindly pick up all the boxes and packing materials we had finished with, to save us a trip to the dump! All in all, our experience with Changing Places couldn't have been much better. They looked after us - and all our belongings - very well and made moving house almost enjoyable..which is something I never thought possible!

Tring to London removal - highly recommended.

Colin was brilliant. I was looking for a local removal company to move me from Tring to London. Colin came to give me a quote - very reasonable - and gave me plenty boxes and tape easy for the move. He and his colleague arrived on time and had the flat packed up in no time. They were both really polite and friendly and even let me hitch a ft with them in their van! I would really recommend them to anyone looking to make a stress-free and well priced move. .

Move was from Chigwell to Ongar.

Excellent staff and a job very well done.  Lots of staff arrived and moved the contents of a large 5 bedroom house carefully and well.  They also assisted with the removal of waste/beds etc to our skip which was really helpful.  We couldn't have done it without them.   All the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.   Very fair price as well.  Very pleased overall. .

Moving made easy.

Great service from Changing Places which involved loading possessions from our storage unit and moving and then unloading into our new property invlolving furniture and many boxes. The team were friendly, fast and efficient and were careful when unloading into the new property especially the furniture items and boxes marked fragile. I would definately recommend Changing Places to anyone that is moving in the Hemel Hempstead area .

From the moment we contacted them, Changing Places Removals was professional, courteous and hugely helpful.

Great Service.

Colin was recommended by friends who had used his services twice and I was not disappointed. I moved from South London to Leighton Buzzard and Colin's team was very efficient and polite. We had issues dismantling our bed, fortunately the team had all the tools we needed. We finished a lot earlier than anticipated and nothing was damaged in any way. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Good Experience.

I was a little concerned as I hadn't used the company before and like most movers, really didn't want anything to add to what was already going to be a stressful time. Colin seemed very upfront & on the basis of this I decided to use him. (I had initially decided to use another company, but when comparing reviews, 'Changing Places' had a much better record - the other company was 'mixed' at best). I needn't have worried about anything as on the day, Colin's team were polite, fast, careful & completely professional.  I would happily use Changing Places Removals again & would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a stress free move..

2 Bed Flat to House Move.

Colin and his team were fantastic.. Colin is a very nice chap and couldn't have been more helpful as we had to push back our move by a 6 days. when we did move the team were excellent, quick, careful and took care in how all the furniture was loaded. They pointed out exisiting marks and damage which is really helpul to prevent you thinking they have damaged it. The guys were great, worked hard and put up with the terrible London traffic and got the job done for us. Will deffinatley use them again, hopefully we won't be moving for a few years..

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

Very pleasant and stress free move.

I was very pleased to get a quote from Colin and have changing places conduct my move. I only needed a 'man in a van' style removal but having searched for too long to find one in London I trusted, I knew Colin was right for me. Everything was arranged and I gave him a call to confirm everything a couple of weeks before the move. He was very polite. On the day of the move everything went smoothly and he kept me informed of his arrival time. Loading of the van was easy and we then set off. I really enjoyed talking to Colin the whole way to Bristol, he's a very nice guy! The dropping off took no time at all and it was all finished. No stress, no extra charges, no parking charges. All included. I will definitely be using Colin again!
