Gentleman and a Van

Gentleman And A Van are AMAZING!  Jared and Fred could not have been any more efficient, pleasant and utterly brilliant.  They worked so hard and efficiently and everything was in Cobham in no time at all!  Nothing was too much trouble. Having recommended Gentleman And A Van to so many over the years, one can never be 100% certain until having the option to try it out yourself!  I have told my company how brilliant you and your EXCELLENT team have been and we will do our very best to make sure we recommend as many to you as poss! BRILLIANT COMPANY!

I have used the team at Gentleman & A Van several times both for business and personal removals and each time they are unfailingly efficient, cost effective, cheerful and polite. True gentlemen with very smart logo'd navy vans too. I would not hesitate using or recommending this company.

The work they have done for us ranges from a large house move to moving a couple of items. The costs were more than competitive - for our big move we paid about £2,000 plus VAT for a full house move from a 5 bed Southfields grid home and this included all packing and packing materials and a team leader that was with us for two days to oversee the job and who ensured that despite our enormous amount of stuff we were out in time.

Every matter Gentleman & A Van have dealt with for us has been absolutely flawless with the service being the same whether for a large or small job. If you want a removal and are based in SW London give Mark or James a call.

I moved yesterday from one London flat to another having done my own packing. I already had packing boxes but could have bought them from the company. So this was not a complicated move. Nevertheless Gentleman And A Van were superb throughout. All the people I dealt with - Director, office staff, removal crew - were professional, efficient, friendly, helpful and prompt throughout. At the outset there was a chance I would need to put my stuff in storage for a few weeks but wasn't sure. They were relaxed about quoting for both options and easy about just doing a direct move when things became clearer. For a reasonable charge they arranged parking for the van both ends with the local council (restricted zones). I needed an extra packing box on the day and they promptly provided a secondhand one without fuss or charge. The removal crew even offered to put the bed back together for me as they had finished the job early. And nothing was broken or damaged. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and would certainly use them again.

Overall I was quite impressed with Gentleman and a Van.  Two of my friends recommended them after their recent moves, and I would do the same.  The team was energetic, professional and positively helpful.  They were done in the quoted 2 hour time and was charged the estimated price of £150 plus VAT.  I did not have any damage to my items or any missing items.  I would definitely use this company again and would recommend to any of my friends that are moving in the future.   .

Gentleman & a Van are probably one of the friendliest, professional business's we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We have high standards and expensive furniture. From the point of quotation to the day of moving they completely met our expectations. On the day they called for an extra van so our sofa didn't get jammed in too tight causing the padding to misshape! The icing on the cake was the fact our bed would not fit into our new bedroom due to a large bannister which had to be removed. So they returned the following day free of charge to finalise matters with the bed.
Thank you for making a stressful day stress free.

Could removal from one property to another ever be considered to be a pleasure, is debatable, but from the first contact via phone to inquire and book our removal to saying good bye to the team afterwards I can only say that Gentleman and a Van did their utmost to certainly make it as stress free as possible. We had a team of three extremely polite,friendly and super efficient men and 2 large vans which I had thought might not be enough, but their super efficiency and experience meant that not only did everything get in, but they managed pack it all in just 3 hours. Everything was wrapped beautifully to make sure no damage occurred and when we got to the new property, nothing was too much trouble. If we were unsure where we wanted certain items to go, the were happy to indulge our indecision. By the end of our removal day, we had a home again purely because we had chosen the very best people to move us. No praise is really high enough, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this company to all our friends and relations should they require removal services in the future.

By far the best removals company I have ever used. Highly recommended and incredible value for the service provided. I have used Gentleman & A Van three times (both home and office removals (x2)) and they've exceeded our expectations every time. Helpful, friendly team both in the office and on the ground. Look no further if you want the best!! The latest move was a large office move, handled quickly and carefully - we had a mere 6 hours of down time.  It was excellently done in quite tricky office premises.  They are the best!

After reading many wonderful reviews, we contracted with Gentleman and a Van to pack and move our belongings for international shipment, store our items for several months in their storage facility, and then prepare them for international pick up. Now we know why they are rated so highly! Our experience was a pleasure from beginning to end: over-the-top customer service; workmen who were fast, competent, and professional; exceptional price; and a job that was done and dusted in less time than quoted. This move was actually pleasant and hassle free because of the service provided through GAAV. If you are looking for the easiest move of your life at an excellent price point, look no further than this 5 star company.

I used Gentleman & A Van to move my house from London to Farnham last week. This is the fifth move I have made in as many years and the service was quite simply magnificent!
This company is head and shoulders above its competition.
I met one of the owners of the business, who was very impressive and he gave me an extremely competitive quote.
The team then arrived the day before my move to pack. Everything was wrapped beautifully and the men were all polite and good humoured. On the move day, everything was loaded by 11am and we are down in Farnham by 12.30pm, just in time for our completion. The team then proceeded to unload everything in double quick time, unwrapping and reassembling all our furniture. Nothing got broken and they even offered to hoover the sitting room before they left.
It was a very hot day but noone complained and the move was carried out in high spirits by a super group of guys, expertly led by Dan.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone, the service was faultless from start to finish and great value to. Well done Gentleman & A Van!

Brilliant service - the 2 removal guys doing my move were curteous, friendly and incredibly efficient. They were completely professional and I was quite surprised by them considering the amount of removals companies I have dealt with over the years. They wasted no time in moving everything and didn't stop at all. They cared about my things and were really tidy and checked where I wanted everything at the other end. Although they were late, they called me in plenty time to let me know this and the reason was valid. I can't fault them and I will certainly be using them for all my future needs. A complete example of how removal companies should be. .

We saw Gentleman and a Van moving another company into our new office premises a few weeks before us and were very impressed with their manner and the way they handled the difficult entrance to this building and the stairs. We were not disappointed on the day of our move..3 very smart, very strong and very willing lads turned up and even though our office is on the 4th Floor up some very steep stairs and they were moving heavy office equipment, there was not a murmur of complaint..they were absolutely charming through out and I would recommend them to anyone.

As an interior designer, Ive worked with many moving companies.  Ive also moved personally three times in the last three years.  I can honestly say that this was by far the best company I have worked with.  From the sales team, to the moving crew, everyone was extremely friendly and professional.  On the day of the actual move, the movers went above and beyond to fit large furntiure into small spaces and moved pieces within the house when I changed my mind about the layout. I moved within London from a 2 bedroom mews house in Marylebone to a 2 bedroom house in Chelsea.  The team arrived on a Thursday, packed us up and moved out on Friday morning.  We had everything moved in by Friday at 6pm.   I would definitely use Gentleman and a Van again and would highly reccomend them for their exceptional service!!

Before my move, I asked 4 removal companies for a quote, did my research and although Gentleman & a Van were not the cheapest I chose them based on the professionalism that they had handled the process of coming over and preparing for the move.  As I was moving a one bedroom flat from SW3 to EC1 - I was told I needed 1 day for packing and 1 day for moving (the services I had hired them for).
Day 1 was packing day - the guys arrived a bit late but called in advanced and advised that they would be 15 min or so late.  They started bringing up the boxes to the flat - and as they started packing I started getting a bit concerned as they (1) starting throwing things that contained glass into boxes unwrapped (until I spoke up) and (2) weren't sure how to pack the glassware that we still had the original boxes for (I ended up packing them) .  I just figured I was too selfaware and tried to stay out of their way (to extent I could). Then promptly at 4 (even though about 40% of the flat was yet unpacked) they said they were leaving and would arrive next day for moving day. 
Day 2 - they arrived 30 min late (no phone call).  Then they proceeded to spend the next 5 hours packing (what they should have packed the day before).   About 3 hours in they decided that the van they had brought was not big enough so they called for a small van to come as well to assist with the move.  They finally managed to pack up the first van to leave for the new flat at 3 pm.  Fortunately my husband had taken the day off as well (otherwise I am not sure how we could have coped) because for the next 6 hours 2 vans had to make 2 runs each back and forth between SW3 and EC1 in order to deliver all of the furniture with him going to the new flat and me staying at the old flat waiting for the removal guys to return. Finally in order to make sure that they finished by 9;30 at night, my husband started helping them bringing up the boxes and furniture (at the new flat) while I started helping them bring down boxes and furniture at the old flat.
The amount of furniture and items we had could not have come as a surprise - that is why James (one of the owners) came to do an assessment and gave us a quote based on that assessment.  Why the company would send an inadequate sized van plus once requested a small truck plus 4 guys on removal day (and 3 guys who knocked off early on packing day) I will never know.  I will never recommend this company and will actively discourage anyone from using them. .

I moved with Gentleman & A Van from Battersea to Fulham at the beginning of September and I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this company.  I have moved a lot over the years but never have I had such a pleasurable and stree free experience as I had with Gentleman & A Van.
We met Mark, one of the Directors of the company, who came round to quote on our move.  He was charming and very thorough and professional and he also gave us the most competitive quote.  Out of the 4 companies that we had round, we were left in no doubt who we should use.
The team arrived bang on time the day before the move to pack our house.  The team leader was called Shaun, who was a lovely guy and made everything seem so effortless.  They packed and wrapped the house beautifully and even had the good sense to leave a couple of plates and cutlery for us to use that night.
They came back the following day to load up the vans and cleared everything in the house by 12.  They had everything unloaded in the new house by 4pm.  All the beds had been built, the 2 wardrobes put back togther.  They even very sensibly put our daughters cot onto the van last, so that it came off first and was built straight away, so that we could put her down for her 2 o'clock nap.
Two days later we rang their office to ask them to come and pick up the empty boxes, which they duly did later on that afternoon.  They even took some extra rubbish away.  Everything arrived in the same state as it left our house and nothing was broken.
I simply cannot recommend this company more highly.  They are exactly what they proclaim to be and next time I move I will not look anywhere else.  I have already started telling all my friends.  WELL DONE GENTLEMAN & A VAN!

This is the second time I've used Gentleman and a Van for my personal domestic removal. The first time was 6 years ago.

The first thing I'd like to mention is that they are an extremely nice company to deal with, the office staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They also helped to organise a self-storage unit for me so I didn't have to go to the trouble of booking that separately.

Gavin and Stefan, the two removal men who arrived to pack up my belongings, couldn't have been more professional, courteous and helpful with a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude. They really helped to facilitate a stress-free home move, which was a joy after the stressful time I'd been through.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Gentleman and a Van again and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Highly Recommended!

I contacted Gentleman & A Van because I knew they offered the very best moving service. There is no question on that and I had done my research.

From Charles/Mark in the office to the chaps moving my stuff everyone was helpful, friendly and professional.

On the day the two gentlemen called me to let me know their ETA and also when they arrived outside. They were very well presented, very friendly and efficient and simply got on with the job without question. They were both swift and very professional. The stress of moving was immediately taken away by their professional and relaxed approach.

The move consisted of a multitude of boxes and some furniture so not a large move but all done without fuss up two flights of stairs. This was all then taken to their own storage facility in Wandsworth.

Communication, price and attitude were all top notch and this company made my life and the move so much easier. Please avoid anyone offering 'cheap' rates to move your important items. Gentleman & A Van were a Good price and you get the quality.

Highly Recommended!
