Removals, self pack

We moved out of our house in Brook Green on Friday and I can confirm that the team from Gentleman and a Van were polite, helpful and extremely efficient. Our belongings have gone into storage, part of the GAV service, and it is a relief to know I will have a good team again when we move into our new property.

Removal, storage and redeliver in a week

I honestly can't thank the team - Daniel, Billy, Dale and Michael - enough for their professionalism, their respect towards me and my possessions (Vanity Fair...I take that one), and also their kindness. When you're on your own to have people go beyond that extra mile to look out for you means so much. And beyond that - Billie-Jane, Amy and Terence at head offuce have always been on hand and responded immediately to any concerns and have been totally transparent and instrumental in delivering a great service. Total professionals as far as I'm concerned. I can't recommend them highly enough - and a big thank you to all the team. Again - I have to thank my packers/deliverers - who needs John Lewis!

Rude and rushed job!

Gentleman and a van are a waste of money for what they offer! Very exspensive and the job they did was crap. Did not pack china and ornaments properly resulting in a few very exspensive items breaking. They seemed to rush everything and wanted to get the job done quickly. The removal men were not that friendly and two in particular were rude and snappy and short when asked to do things. Obviously moving is a very stressful time as it is and you expect after paying ALOT of money, that you are going to get a good service and friendly, helpful removal men! Will not be recommending this company to anyone at all as felt they are a waste of money!

Service cost: £1600

Official company response

I'm very sorry that you feel this way, following your removal. After weeks of trying, we have absolutely no idea who you are and we have certainly not had any recent feedback of this nature.
We take feedback very seriously and have seldom if ever had a complaint of this severity.
The only conclusion I can draw if that this is either a case of mistaken identity or a competitor trying to tarnish our good name.

Just an amazing company and service!

So glad we used Gentleman & A Van again. Just an incredible service with a team of six who were extremely professional, caring and so helpful. We asked for both packing and removals again and are so glad we did. It takes all the effort and stress away and the team were very fast and conscientious. We also booked storage. Thank you to Amy and Tom for handling my booking and last minute change in date. Terrific company. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

Recommended.

Moved from London to Kendal in Cumbria by this excellent and swift service. They even took care of all the small details such as booking parking space in London's busy bouroughs for the vans and arranging loading times to suit our travel plans. The team who loaded/unloaded our boxes were friendly and fast, nothing was too muuch trouble including the shifting of an insitu wardrobe from one room to another in our new home. My wife and I were absolutely delighted, they made the whole moving experience a delight. Managing our move with courtesy and confidence, I have already recommended Gentleman and a Van to friends and shall continue to do so.

Painless.

All went well. Best ever company used. No swearing and nothing was too much trouble. No damage and no hassle. Everything was beautifully wrapped and protected before it left the house. I would have appreciated a call to confirm that all was as planned , likely arrival time, name of guys etc so I called instead the day before. I would definitely recommend this small, courteous outfit. I used them after I witnessed a neighbours move and store by Gentleman and a Van. A treat was that they unpacked the larger things and positioned them perfectly with no pressure or rush.

Removals including packing

I moved within Earlsfield last week and was very happy with the service provided by Gentleman and a Van.

The service and communication was clear and accurate from start to finish.

The crew on the day were great, Jo, Cody and Paul. We had a late completion so it meant a swift move and unpacking which we managed well.

Highly recommend.

Making the job straight-forward

They were careful and efficient. Showed up ahead of the time and did the job with no need of overseeing. A positive ‘can do’ attitude which exactly what one needs with dealing with a move, which usually a stressful situation already. Would definitely use again.

Great friendly company.

I have used Gentleman and a Van three times now, and each time they've done a great job.  The latest was on Friday 25 October, when I moved from Hampshire to London.  The crew arrived on time, were efficient and organised, and packed my stuff into the Luton van so well that it all fitted.  At the other end, conditions were challenging as they had to block a road to unload, and take some big awkward items up a very narrow set of stairs.  They managed it with grace and good humour at all times.  A great service.

Fast and efficient..

I would have no doubt to use Gentleman and Van again, they put my boxed up belongings into and then out of storage for me.  Those delivery boys were as strong as oxes and just raced through the van load of boxes.  They didn't bat an eye lid about all those boxes heading to the attic room either.  Despite the lighting pace at which they worked everything was treated delicately and respectfully keeping safe and intact all the contents even my delicate crystals wine glasses.

Service cost: £225
