Long-distance move from Abingdon, Oxfordshire to Wantage, Oxfordshire

Moving belongings

Zibi did a great job. I moved my stuff from a storage location to my new flat. Zibi was on time, was really helpful and also helped by disassembling parts, which would not fit to the entrance.

Really recommend his service.

Long-distance move from Croydon, Greater London to Guildford, Surrey

Outstanding service.

Mr Zbyszek was very helpful and saved us when the other van man did not turn up in the morning - so it was an emergency. We had a lot of stuff to move including garden and a shed. Mr Zbyszek helped carrying stuff and put it all in a neat order in the van. There were two trips and there were no complaints about that.

Fantastic service, very reliable and an OK price.

Highly Recommended, you won't be disappointed,.

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

Excellent service.

I have a Floral business and use Zibi when I have large events and also over the Christmas period when I have large trees to deliver and decorate. Zibi is always accommodating and he offered to go to Germany once for me to collect items as the German company could not deliver in time. The cost for a local delivery in London is £60.00 for a collection and delivery from my premises to Canary Wharf.

Helpful Van.

Zbyszek helped with my 3 moves already, he is very punctual, patient and well organised, has his own cardboard boxes in case you run out of yours. Short time of delivery (I was moving within London), all items in perfect condition.. do I need to add any more? Definitely will use his service in the future and have recommended to friends already. I would recommend Zbyszek to anyone looking for a reliable 'man with a van'. .

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

Moved house.

We recently moved to our new flat and we used Helpful Van. I had to move a number of times and this is the first time that I was positively surprised by the removal service. It was also the cheapest quote.
We moved on Saturday and the quote for two men and a van was 40 GBP per hour.
Their van is bigger than usual.
They were very polite and I definitely recommend them.

Long-distance move from Southend-on-Sea, Essex to London, Greater London

Excellent move.

We moved from Southend to west London last Friday. Some personal issue meant we did not start looking for a removal company until the weekend before the move. I was panicking and sent out many email requests for quote. Helpful van was one of the first to reply to our email, first thing Sunday morning. We were given a per hour quote, 2 men, few other bits of information (insurance, etc) and the specification that no additional cost will be charged.

We had a few brief email exchanges and a brief telephone conversation the day before the move. On the day the van arrived bang on time. They worked very hard, even drove back and forth a narrow street many times to get the whole van loaded, as there was parking issue which was not their fault. All the time they acted in a highly professional manner. For instance, they wrapped up my mattress with their own carpet. They offered me boxes. They were courteous throughout and certainly did not moan about anything in front of me. They offered me a lift back to my new place. They placed the items in the room specified, and reassembled dismantled furniture. At the end they charged exactly what they asked for.

I have nothing bad to say about the company and would recommend the company to anyone.

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

Excellent, fast, helpful moving!

We booked Helpful Van's services on short notice after our tenancy agreement fell through with only a week left. I was recommended their services by a family member, and the appointment was booked in no time at all. On moving day, the van arrived twenty minutes early, and was not only happy to wait for us, but also was very helpful in assisting with carrying some of the heavier boxes and pieces of furniture - often single-handedly. On arrival unpacking the van was even faster, and the whole time the removal man was polite, friendly and efficient. Would absolutely recommend, and would definitely use this service again!
