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

First Class Service.

I really can't recommend City Removals enough, they made moving day a breeze with a first class service from start to finish. From the first email to the last, the team couldn't have been more helpful in arranging our move, including sorting out parking permits with TFL. On the day itself, our two removal guys were friendly, professional and helpful. They turned up on time and worked tirelessly throughout the day, lifting heavy boxes back and forth as well as dismantling beds and putting them together again in our new home. Coupled with an extremely reasonable price, I wouldn't hesitate in using them again or recommending them to others. Thank you very much!

Sidcup - Gravesend.

Apart from the mix up with the size of our van, which caused a bit of stress first thing, these guys were absolutely brilliant. I have moved a few times in the past five years, and have done it myself. Never again. I would definitely use this company again, without a shadow of a doubt. They worked tirelessly for 8 hours on one of the hottest days of the year, to ensure that our move went well. Stress? What stress? The took all of that pressure away from us. I really can't thank the team enough, I will be recommending them to everyone I know. A huge Thank you guys :-).

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Norwich, Norfolk

A complicated move done well.

Our house sale chain collapsed at the last minute so we ended up doing the removals in 2 stages and with 3 vans, moving a lot of heavy stuff 100 miles. Everything was done smoothly and professionally, the team were excellent with the right mix of getting on with it and doing the job / checking with the customer. They also gave me the cheapest quote initially, then were able to organise cheap storage when I needed it. I would certanly use them again.

High receommended.

City Removals completed two moves for us over two days - half our possessions into a rental flat up two flights of stairs, and half into the house we are about to renovate. All went very smoothly, and in good time, and the removal guys were very professional and nice.
They took care of our sofas, and mattresses, and even brought plants from the garden etc.
We would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Liverpool, Merseyside

Top service.

W have chosen this company after reading so many positive reviews about them on the ineternet.The whole process started with a home visit which was proffessionally conducted by Nicola.She was on time smartly dressed and she answerred all our questions.She was with us for 1 full hour.
The quote arrived with us on the same day by email.As we were moving such a long distance Nicola sugested 2 days..one im which they come pack and load everything and one in which they will deliver.This plan seemed good especially as other companies sugested the whole move can be done in only 1 day, which we certainly did not think was possible.
On the move day all 4 men came on time.They had everything they needed with them and they were very organized.All our stuff was packed with great care  and many of our furniture were either wrapped im blankets or in special covera.
The next day we reached Liverpool around 10am.They were there wayting for us.
The unloading process was just as good.They followed our instructions precisesly.At the end as they even moved some furniture again without complaining as we had changer our mind.
All in all a very good service and the company was a pleasure to deal with.

Impressive.

Last week was the second time we have used this company to relocate and like the first time the service was impecable.Everything went smoothly with no stress at all.
The difficult part this time was that our new flat was on the 3rd floor with no lift but the crew just got on with it without complaining.
On the first day the team packed uo the whole flat.As we did not want to take time off work we leftt them by themsleves.When we returned home all was packed and readied for the move the following day.
We did not get a home survey this time as the company had our records from the previous move.
The move was completed on time and most importantly with no damages and no missing items.

Great experience.

I decided to make my move as painless as possible by using a moving company with great reviews to do my packing and moving. The City Removals team certainly lived up to their reputation. They made my move completely seamless and they used high quality packing material ensuring my belongings arrived at the other end intact! They were punctual and very professional. Great job! I will definitely recommend them to anyone that is about to move.

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

Excellent service and great value for money.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from city-removals. We were moving to a new home with 2 little kids and city-removals made things easy for us. The crew was friendly and extremely helpfull. They were incredible fast and professional. I emailed the company a couple of times to add things that needed to be deliveried and they didn't increased the quote. Even on the same day I added a couple of boxes and the crew took them with a big smile. I'm glad we used their services on those stressful days. I recomend them 100%.

Excellent job.

Very good job.They collected our furniture and boxes from a 2 bedroom flat on the 2nd floor.The 3 men crew came on time presented themselves and generally they were very polite and hard working. Also their professionalism was present at every step.Bulky furniture was maneuvered flawlessly through tight spaces and with great care.Everything was wrapped properly they had tools covers trolleys etc.
This is our first move where nothing was stolen scratched or damaged.
I could not have asked for more and will definitely use again and recommend.

Can't fault.

I have moved a lot in the last few years from country to country. Only one other service was on par with City-Removals. City-Removals went above and beyond what was expected of them, no questions asked. When a few items were forgotten in the quote, they made room and took it!  Delivery was on time and very help in putting items were needed. Very professional, highly recommended service!

Excellent.

We had an excellent experience with this company when moving from our 1 bedroom apartment to our new home in London. They did an amazing job packing everything carefully, disassembling and moving furniture and assembling everything back in our new place. Everything was done on time although we had more boxes than they expected. Not a single scratch in any of our furniture. I highly recommend this company. Thanks!

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

London to Bedfordshire.

City Removals made a potentially stressful experience as easy as possible. They arrived exactly when they said they would, packed all our possessions quickly and carefully and we were on our way ahead of schedule. The guys were courteous and carried out their work in a tidy manner. The packing service was worth the relatively small additional cost and was one less thing for us to worry about when moving house. Recommended.

Great Help.

The whole moving experience with Cityremoval was great, we moved from a 2 bed-room flat to a house, we had more stuffs than we expected, it was no problem for the guys to handle it. They were very polite, and professional, took care of all the goods, didn't damage anything. When moving the big pieces, they knew exactly what they are doing, so the wall or stairs were not touched.  And specially thank you to the guys helped us moving the fridge to the cellar, saved us space.  Thank you very much again, and will definately recommend the service to anyone!

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

Great service and good value.

About 2 weeks have gone since we have moved but only now I managed to find the time to write a well deserved review for this company.
Everyone involved has been incredibily helpfull and polite.They managed to find a solution to any problem that arose.Also they office has been wonderfull in helping me change my move day several times due to lousy solicitors.
The crew has also been unbelievable in dealing with me and my wife at our worst.
They packed everything with the utmost care.Dismantling and reassembeling also was a piece of cake.The guys definitely were extremely experienced as I watched them move several big pieces of furniture through tight corners without great difficulty.Everything was a breeze.
i fon t know what else to say apart from the fact that we were very very happy with how our move went along and I would use again and recommend to anyone.

Good stuff.

This company has just taken our stuff into storage so this review is only for the first part of the move.A more indepth review will follow once we will get our  things back.
To start with the men were really polite and hardworking.Aldo very clean and well dressed.All our furniture has been wrapped as agreed using either blankets or zipped covers for safe keeping in storage.
Altough we did the packing they did not mind in helping placing last minute bits and bobs in boxes.
Also they were very skilled at manouvering heavy furniture through tight spaces and awkard corners.
In the morning the came on time and after a cup of tea they did not take another brake untill everything was loaded.An inventory was also given to us buly the guys.
Like I said another review will follow once we get our things back but so far so good.

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

Very good service.

We have completed our flat move with this company.As time is on the short side we have also asked them to pack.After this experience I think no one should ever self pack.3 men packed our flat in under 4 hours..AMAZING.And they packed everything very well with no rush.
The move itself was a breeze.The crew was experinced and nice people to hsve around.They spoke good english and understood instructions very well,not that they needed to many.
They also took stuff out from the loft for us.
At our new place we asked them to take their shoes off as we had new carpets and also dmall children.Instead they immediately placed caroet covers in the whole house.Impressive stuff.
A very good service that I can wholeheartedely recommend.

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

Move on 24 August from Surrey to London.

Mike and his team arrive on the dot and were quick and efficient throughout. They were careful and responsive to ad hoc changes when I needed to change placement of items at the new property. Beds were dismantled and reassembled very fast and the team was courteous and communicative, taking a shorter lunch break than originally planned to get the work done. 
This was not a straightforward move, as there were in all three delivery locations in SE16, N4 and N16. I was also not charged extra for adding additional drops :-)
Mike was a great team leader, he even gave me a spare blanket to protect a table in storage, and his two colleagues were very effective throughout. Everything was delivered intact and I felt the experience lived up to the apparently very positive reputation of the company. My father met the team and was most impressed by the courtesy and efficiency.
I would not hesitate to recommend City-Removals and use them again.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Leeds, Yorkshire

London to Leeds: as good as it gets.

The van turned up exactly when arranged. The two packers were courteous, listened to my instructions; and explained very clearly the process. They packed efficiently but also with great care, taking time to properly wrap delicate items and labelling boxes logically. Our stuff was taken away for overnight storage and they returned to finish packing the next day - because of the distance involved, it made sense to get an early start. When I met them at the storage unit in Leeds, again exactly at the estimated time, they were again swift, careful and efficient in unloading our things. Now we have finally moved our stuff into our house (there was a delay between moving out and moving in) I can vouch that nothing is broken and everything is there. Having undercut Pickfords by about £1000, I honestly can't imagine what I would have got for the extra money: the move was timely, efficient, hassle-free and undertaken in a friendly, professional manner. As such, I wholeheartedly recommend City Removals.

Great service.

My experience was very positive from start to finish. The lady who came out to do the estimate was punctual and friendly also managing to fit around my difficult schedule. We had both packing and removals service - the men arrived on time for both and were very courteous and efficient. They also reassembled furniture in our new house - including a bed that had not previously been assembled. I was very impressed at how quick they were. They were also incredibly good value for money - the quote was less than half that of another highly rated firm but the service was superb.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Newport, Gwent

Excellent all round.

I obtained a number of quotes, and despite being one of the cheapest I found they also had some of the best reviews I had read.   City Removals turned out to be more professional and diligent than any removal company I had used in the past.   The men were great, knew their stuff and helped out on things outside of the usual remit. 
I cannot recommend them highly enough..hire them and you will not be disappointed.

Great.

I was left totally impressed by the service provided by this company.
First of all everyone I dealt with was extremely polite.By this I mean everyone..the moving men the office staff .The office staff always answerred my emails quickly and all my queries were answerred without any hidden stuff.The quoted price was the price we ended up paiyng.At no point had they tried to add extra charges or use dodgy terms and conditions.
To the 3 men that moved us on the day..you will not meet a nicer bunch.They came on time,presented themselves and immediately put me at ease.I was impressed by the care they took in carriyng every single item.Their skills I think are amazing.Not a single item broken or scratched at the end is quite a feat.
 Also our 2 beds and wardrobe  were dismantled like they were not there.
I feel very confident in recommending this company and I could write more about my experience.In the end all that matters is that we have received a service that we are very happy with therefore I would net hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is moving.

Job well done.

Altough they also quoted us for a packing service in the end we only hired this company to take care of our move.
It was a pretty simple move from our side and the company made sure it did not get any harder.They came on time and knew what they were doing.The guys were fully equipped with tools and other bits anf pieces.Their vehicle was new and very well taken care of.Also both guys were uniformed ,clean and spoke good english.They needed mininal guidance throughout the whole day.
The only possible glitch was that we needed to be out from our flat by 12.The company knew this and with a 7 am start they managed to empty our  property well before the deadline.
At our new flat they followed my wifes instructions precicesly as to where to place our furniture.They even moved a few pieces several times as she ws trying to find the best place for everything.
A job well done.

Very good on all aspects.

The service we received was nothing short of what we were expecting.On the contrary at the end we were quite surprized at how good and polite the men were,at how accomodating and friendly Nicola and Alex were in the office.
I am sure we weren't  the easyest of customers but the guys never moaned and helped us throughout the whole day.
We had no incidents on the move day.All out stuff arrived intact and in on piece with nothing missing.
Also the men dismantelled and reassemebled our bed and wardrobe and again these 2 pieces were put back together in a better shape than they were before.
Really can t fault the service or the atitude.TOP JOB.

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

Very Good.

This was a nightmare move on all counts apart from the removal itself which was admirably performed by this company.Incompetent lawyers left right and center ,impossible buyers,completion day moved several times,missing paperwork,etc.
The removal however was a differrent story.Very proffessional from start to the end.We had a home survey executed by a very nice young lady.She was smartly dressed, polite and knew her trade.She gave us the confidence of using this company and the choise was sound.
The men packed all our house the day before in record time.Fragile stuff was verry well protected, boxes were marked and they did not spare any protective materials.Aso on this day they did some dismantelling.
On the second day we had a 6 men crew.Acces was a little bit tricky as they could not get the truck very close to where we were.This was however compensated by the number of men and we managed to be out by 1pm.
All the workers were in good spirits and very hard working.Apart from the odd ciggie brake they worked on and on.Antique furniture was wrapped , sofas and matresses were coverred and eveything was protected.
Our new place the acces was much easyer.Unloading was straight forward with the men asking al the time where to place furniture.
I could go on but the bootom line is the service we got was almost impressive and I would happily use them again altough I hope I won t have to.

Good value and service.

Great value considering the service we have received.We booked the service well in advance as we wanted to make sure we hire a good company. For £350.00 we got a 2.men crew and a van that were with us for 8 hours.The guys came spot on time and were fully prepared,instructed and equipped.They even had a printed jobsheet with our details and other usefull things. They had tools blankets covers etc.We did not have too much furniture but our matress wad very well protected from dust as they wraoped it in a zipped cover. We also asked them to pack our fragile items.Again they had boxes tissue buble wrapp etc.Everything was packed impeccably and all the boxes were marked and handled with care. Top marks for a great service.
