Thoroughly Recommend.

Colin and the team were excellent professionals. No item got damaged. All the team were polite and careful and really helped keep moving day stress down to a minimum. We moved from an old quirky property with a very narrow stairs and they coped with this with good humour and careful work. Thanks guys it was a pleasure, will recommend you to friends and definitely be booking you again for another move! Hopefully will stay here for a bit though!

Long-distance move from Watford, Hertfordshire to Luton, Bedfordshire

Removals.

I left an enquiry on Changing Places website and was contacted straight away by Colin who came to estimate the removal cost and work involved. It's very assuring to meet in person the company you are trusting with your worldly possessions.

Colin was very friendly and helpful throughout the process. It was great to have an unlimited supply of boxes, bubble wrap and tape included in the price. He also said there would be no added costs for delays if we had to wait for the completion monies to come through on our day of moving.

Colin and 2 of his staff arrived on time on the moving day and very quickly made short work of removing and loading my furniture. They even got my sofa bed out which was a nightmare to get in!

I'd have no hesitation in recommending them as a reliable removal company and they helped tremendously during what is usually a stressful time of upheaval.

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

Fantastic!

I would highly recommend Changing Places. Colin is great to deal with - a few days before I was due to move to a top floor flat, the lift broke! We agreed that we'd need two extra men to manage the removal, and the additional costs were very reasonable. On the day, Colin wasn't present but had the full confidence of his team on the day and I wasn't disappointed. They were very professional, easy going and tidy, despite moving me in torrential rain. There was no damage to either my possession or either property during the move, despite some very heavy furniture. They took apart and rebuilt a couple of items of furniture. All very good.

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

Excellent.

I was very pleased with the professionalism and service of Changing Places. We only had a weeks notice to sort out a removals company and met with a couple. Changing places matched the other company but had no additional costs on top. All the team were friendly and very helpful. There arrived early and worked continuously until we had fully packed up out flat. There was a long distance between our flat and the van and this didn't seem to cause an issue at all.

I would highly recommend this company to any of my friends and family.

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

Professional job, very fair price.

Colin and his team were extremely quick and efficient at moving us into our new home. As we have two young children there was a lot to move; toys, sandpits, bikes, plant pots etc, but none of it was a problem. They looked after our furniture and were very friendly and pleasant to deal with. They were cheap too, at half the cost of some of the quotes we received. I would happily recommend them.

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

Excellent service.

Changing Places Removals did a great job helping us move home in June. They were very efficient and friendly, even disassembling and reassembling furniture for us. In fact, they even reassembled our wardrobe better than it was before!
Overall, they gave us a very good deal and were well worth the money, and I would highly recommend using them as a removal company.

Moving.

Colin and his team were friendly and reliable and I was very satisfied with the work. The whole move went to plan thanks to their hard work and they were extremely generous in the supply of boxes etc. They also took back the boxes for reuse which is obviously environmentally sound. It was a good service and good value for money. Thank you for all the hard work and diligence..

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

Excellent service.

Colin and his team (Chris and Pedro) were brilliant they arrived early and worked extremely hard until everything was ready to be moved. Once we were able to get in to our new property again they worked very hard ensuring all boxes were in the correct rooms. They made a very stressful house move a lot easier with all their hard work and friendliness.
Prices are very competitive and the service is very professional.
I would highly recommend using changing places.

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

Excellent service.

Colin and his team provided an extremely efficient removal service. This included packing for us the day before and the dismantling and reassembling two large wardrobes ( both Ikea do not the easiest) and 3 double beds. All was done very quickly and with minimum fuss. There was no damage to any items and nothing was too much trouble. We have used the services of Changing Places in two occasions now and found their pricing very competitive and their service excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

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

A great removal team.

Colin and this team were not only efficient, friendly and punctual, they made moving my elderly parents from their flat to a small house (with all those stairs) extremely stress free. I have used Colin and his team previously for a larger house move myself, on both occasions they have proved to be a caring removal company who take all the hassle out of what is usually a stressful process. Would highly recommend.

Great service, great price.

They helped me move from a studio flat in Bath to a house share in Cambridge, and I fully recommend them. The price was much cheaper than other companies, which is why I went with them, but the service was great too. They were very pleasant, and helped move all of my items carefully, ensuring they were strapped down well. I also got a lift to my destination in the van. You couldn’t ask for a better moving service!

Long-distance move from Hertfordshire to East Sussex

Great from start to finish.

The owner Colin is lovely, he came round to assess and even dropped round some extra free boxes. On the day of the move, the team managed by Chris were brilliant, ver calm and more carefully organised than any remover I've seen. They also went above and beyond helping me get rid of some stuff. Then when I left really important personal info in one of the desks they kept it safe. Extremely trustworthy, reliable, professionally skilled, and lovely people too. Can't recommend highly enough.

Long-distance move from Tring, Hertfordshire to Rhosneigr, Anglesey

Move from Tring to Anglesey North Wales.

Colin responded immediately to my on-line request for a quote and his quote was more competitive than others. It was a single Luton van of furniture going to North Wales. They arrived on time, worked hard, were polite and good to talk to, and careful and respectful with our possessions. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to others.

Long-distance move from Tring, Hertfordshire to Tring, Hertfordshire

Excellent local move.

Changing Places provided an a most efficient service involving the movement of items from one property into two. A quote was provided at short notice by Colin, who was most helpful & friendly. On moving day, his two colleagues worked exceedingly hard through appalling weather conditions to get everything where it needed to be with great care & attention, even managing to keep straight faces whilst enquiring where my daughter’s box of “heffalumps” should go!

I would recommend Changing Places for their efficiency and reasonable charges, and will be calling upon them again in future. Many thanks.

Hemel to Yatton Bristol

Colin moved us on the 24th October. He and his team were punctual friendly and efficient. They handled all our possessions well and had already supplied us with plenty of boxes and labels.

Colin came round twice over several months first to do a quote and on the second occasion to work out the logistics.

The move was 130 miles and took about 2 and a half hours as M4 was closed.

I would highly recommend the price was very reasonable and I think its important to use local smaller businesses.

Fantastic Company and great value

Colin and his team were great from the first estimation right through to the safe delivery of all belongings to our new house. Colin supplied boxes, tape and labels. After days of packing the team turned up exactly on time for moving day. It was all quickly loaded and off to Lincolnshire from Hemel. We collected the keys and arrived at the new house to find the team waiting. Doors open and they got on with it. Little touches like putting a divan bed together were appreciated.

It was the first we had moved house in over 30 years and Colin and his team helped make the move painless. Very highly recommended.

Trustworthy, great value, great service, would use every time

My partner used changing places several years ago to move from a small flat to our two bed home. This time, we moved together to a larger home and were delighted to secure changing places to move us. It's been a tough ride with lenders and solicitors, but the whole time, Colin, at changing places has been amazing. We finally got moved today, the crew arrived on time, they are really hard working, they take care with your move and make this important and final stage of the move work smoothly. I could not be happier with the service we received today.

Large Move in the snow...

This is the second time we have used Changing Places to move in the past 5 years.

This latest move on the 26/01/21 was done once again, with a friendly, respectful and most importantly helpful approach. We were well packed but the chaps came early, took away all the stress and were genuinely a joy to help us move.

They took the time at the other end as well and carried on way past 5pm until the job was done. There were cheaper removal companies, but you get what you pay for and Colin and his team have not let us down twice in a row now.

Great team of people..

Long-distance move from Hertfordshire to Hertfordshire

Very professional, very efficient, would 100% recommend

Colin and the team were fantastic. Great communication with Colin on the lead up to moving day. On moving day when Colin and the team arrived we went to get breakfast and by the time we got back everything was packed up and ready to go. When they unloaded all our boxes to our new house it was the same thing, we went for a walk by the time we got back everything was in the correct room and was in the places we wanted. It made the day very stress free for us. I’d certainly recommend Colin moving company to anyone.

Efficient and streamlined service

Colin and team(Chris and Neil) were extremely professional and provided an awesome service. Our move was local within St Albans. The guys reached at 9:30 AM sharp and the move was completed at 9:59 AM. For us, this was a record as everything was shifted from A to B in half an hour. The whole process was very smooth and we weren't stressed at all. I would definitely recommend Colin&team and will surely use their services in the future!

P.S. The service cost was £40 as we had approx 12 boxes and no large furniture/white goods move. However, the second step of the review only accepts minimum £90 for the cost. So mentioned that.

We're sorry, but there are Error(s) submitting your review:

Review cost should be at least 90.

Long-distance move from Watford, Hertfordshire to Bushey, Hertfordshire

5* service

We had a tight turnaround between exchange & completion but with only a weeks notice Colin was super helpful and even hired in extra vans for us. He delivered boxes to us really quickly so we could get packing, and was super responsive and obliging when we asked for more (twice!). On the day, despite awful rain, Colin and the team worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and swift departure from our old house. They worked like machines to get the job done and to make it a stress free experience for us. We had some tricky items such as a piano, to manoeuvre down a narrow glass staircase, but this was no problem for them. We would highly recommend them to anyone moving and looking for friendly and efficient service. Thanks Changing Places!

Fantastic once again!

This is the second time we hired Colin and his team to move house and both moves have been outstanding. Colin is organised, great with communication and keeps the whole process smooth and steady. This says a lot because moving can be stressful but Colin and his crew have it all under control even maintaining good cheer when trying to hoist a huge dresser up a tiny old staircase! We highly recommend Changing Places.

Absolutely superb service and support

I had a really challenging move having to move out quickly into storage, before 3 months later moving into my new home. And I felt that Colin was there the whole way with me - I would not have been able to move without him and his team. He was absolutely brilliant and I so valued his support throughout the whole process, his flexibility and understanding. I could not have wished for more. I recommend Colin and his team to you enthusiastically. Thank you, Changing Places!

Excellent Service!

Thanks very much to Colin and team for a fantastic job helping me to vacate a storage unit containing various pieces of furniture. They were extremely helpful and professional, with great communication right from the moment I made contact to the day itself. They managed to fit me in at exactly the right moment and at a very reasonable price too. I highly recommend Colin and will definitely use again for my next move. Thank you!

Excellent! ? would recommend!

Colin and his team were fantastic! They were extremely professional and friendly. They work very quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use them again and will be recommending them to all my friends and family. This is a very honest and reliable firm and extremely reasonable priced. Colin is a man of his word and honour. We needed to move before the stamp duty holiday finished, Colins company was the only company that went out of their way to help us and kept his price down. There were other companies being way too greedy and charging triple! Book this firm if you want honest, reliable, hard working, professional, good value and extremely helpful movers. You will not be disappointed!
