St Albans Removals.

Alf and his experienced team at St Albans Removals were prompt in being at the meeting point. Given my fairly short timescales they made themselves available at short notice and also made the whole task look so easy! Well-organized, with excellent communication throughout the entire operation, and the quoted price was quite reasonable. With excellent local knowledge, I would definitely recommend them if you are moving to/from St Albans!

Best in town.

We used Alfie and team for our removal to our new 4 bed home in St Albans, Alfie and team were fantastic from start to finish even though the amount of stuff we had was more than expected. They started at 9am and done by 5pm with all products disassembled and reassembled at the new house. They are the best and most cost effective way to move in the area.

Long-distance move from Luton, Bedfordshire to Brighton and Hove, East Sussex

House Move.

We used St Albans Removals company for our house move. We found them to be very efficient, friendly helpful and accomodating. They were very honest, helpful and hard working throughout the whole process. The estimation process was straight forward and satisfactory. We were provided with the necessary boxes in advance thus eliviating the pressure of last minute packing. The price for the removal from St Albans to South Kent was very reasonable considering the distance tarvelled. The employees were at our house at the agreed time. We did not have to instruct them what to do and how as they were very efficient and professional in their work. All our property arrived intact without any damage considering that we had a lot of fragile items. I would use this company again and would recommend them to others.

St Albans Removals.

Alfie and his team were punctual, friendly, helpful and extremely hard-working. They were clearly very experienced and methodical, which is great on a stressful moving day. The team were very patient and flexible with us, and understood our need to be out of the old property by a particular time. Subsequently, they worked extremely quickly. Our quote for the job was very competitive, particularly during a week that we learnt was one of the busiest periods to move house.

Long-distance move from Luton, Bedfordshire to Leeds, Yorkshire

Really Good.

Great value, £400 from St albans to Leeds was much cheaper than some of the other quotes I recieved. Communication was good and they turned up on time on moving day. Both guys were friendly and happily helped me with extra boxes and other things I took up in my own car. Found the address first time and my driver then proceeded to take all 15 boxes up 4 flights of stairs without any fuss. All in all really good service and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

St Albans - St Albans move.

This company would have actually got 3 stars if the guys hadn't pestered me by text message 3 times in about a week to leave a review. Only just now have the time so here it is! They were 45 minutes late, but lucky for them we hadn't actually finished packing yet, so I won't hold that against them. A quote was done over the phone, admittedly I underestimated the amount of stuff we had, but surely that's a fairly common occurrence? (The question was asked: "how many boxes do you have?" To which I replied "how big is a box?" A straight answer there came none.) Upon arriving at the house the boss wasn't happy about the amount of stuff there actually was, but again was evasive as to the implications. I asked if two trips would be required, he said probably not, just the amount of extra time required is the issue. On the phone I'm 99% sure that the price he gave he said was a fixed price for the day. Eventually however, we ended up paying him 50% extra (he initially tried to charge us double) and everything fitted in the Luton van with room to spare. Our house was on an awkward location almost directly on a pelican crossing. They parked on the zigzag lines initially (there was no alternative at the time) until the parking inspectors showed up. It escalated quickly between both parties and the removal guys were shouting and swearing at inspectors and it looked for a minute it might come to blows. Hence the "poor" rating for professionalism! However it wasn't their fault our house was in an inaccessible location which is probably why we caved in and paid extra. On the other hand nothing got broken or went missing so it was a positive experience in that regard. So I wouldn't necessarily tell you to steer clear of these guys, but before you take them on I would recommend that the boss visits your house before the move to see for himself how much stuff you have and secondly, get the quote in writing clearly stating the terms of the quote (ie one trip/two trips/whole day/ half day etc.

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

St Albans move.

We moved about 1.5 miles across St Albans (though the location options in this form will only let me choose Luton, so ignore that), from a 2-bed terrace.
We used Old London following a friend’s recommendation and were very impressed.
Ashley came round a few days prior to the move date to firm up an online quote, and delivered some boxes for us to get started with valuables / delicates etc., before coming round again the day before the move to pack up 90% of the house - efficient, methodical, and no scrimping on protective wrapping! He came back the next morning with a few colleagues to finish the packing and load the van - we were out with a couple of hours to spare (useful for the final clean).
The unload took no more than an hour, with all boxes and furniture sent to their designated rooms / shed.
Very happy with Ashley and Old London, and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Fast and efficient.

I moved a 1+ bedroom from St Albans to London. Upon arrival Alfie and his team were cheerful and efficient. They moved all the boxes and furniture from upstairs in record time.

In addition, Alfie has some inice new furniture to offer from his warehouse at a bargain price. I chose a few of those items, and they delivered all of it straight away.

I was all moved into my new flat with some new furniture just after lunch time. Great job!

Up for any challenge - many thanks!

Another provider failed at moving across my large sofa but thankfully Alfie and his team were up for the challenge on very short notice - this was on a Sunday afternoon. They pulled up the sofa from the balcony and got it in to my new living room amazingly quickly. I'm so grateful for their help, short notice availability and their creative thinking. Highly recommended. The move was within St Albans.

St Albans Removal - Terrible!

Cowboys! Arrived almost 2 hours late, and that was the best part of our experience with this company! Unwrapped photo frames in with cd's, kitchen items in with living room ornaments. Didn't bring a number of boxes we asked for so ended up using carrier and dustbin bags. Scuffed out leather sofa, our bed was filthy having been dragged along the floor outside and not wrapped. Threatened to empty out the van and leave our stuff on our drive when we commented about the state of the bed! Constantly on the phone. Hate to leave negative feedback but really not happy.

Everything was packed and wrapped really well .
The job was underestimated but we realised this and came to a fair price . 8 lorry loads later we finally made it into our new place .
Great value for money . The team were careful and well mannered .
They really worked so hard and were really pleasant to deal with.
Plenty of boxes provided for packing and prompt pick up of these once I had unpacked .

Removals service.

We opted to do our own packing and unpacking and the early delivery of ample boxes and protective packaging gave us plenty of time to prepare. Alf kept in touch throughout the whole process to ensure everything was going smoothly and speedily provided any additional packaging we requested. the move was over 2 days at our request and Alf was happy to accommodate this. I would definitely use this company again?

Reliable Movers.

Alfie and his team of two arrived on time at our house (actually in St Albans, not London - but menu was limited!) and quickly got about moving our furniture and boxes. Even though there was considerably more items than I had thought, they were able to move the extra pieces without fuss (for an agreed additional payment). 
They unloaded quickly and easily and even managed to get our beast of a sofa-bed into the new house (Welwyn Garden City). 
The team were polite, friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend their services.

Highly recommend St Albans Removals.

Alfie and team provided exceptional service, even though it was the hottest day of the year so far!
Arrived on time, couldn't do more to help, and provided a stress free move, at a fantastic price. Having to juggle two small children, they made the move manageable and smooth.
Boxes were provided in good time, and furniture was dismantled and erected hassle free! The team were extremely conscientious and took great care of each piece of furniture- no damage what so ever!
Will certainly use St Albans Removals again in the near future, highly recommended!

Highly Recommend.

I have a two phase move and these guys are handling both.  The first stage was from rental property to a storage facility.  Would highly recommend this company for your house move(s).  Alfie and his team are an absolute delight to deal with. They were brilliant - on time, reliable, professional, courteous and handled items with real care. I really can’t recommend them highly enough – I never thought that moving could be stress free and enjoyable but these guys really did all they could to ensure that this was the case. They even packed the furniture safely and securely into the storage unit (which took some skill as lots of large furniture items). They did it all within half a day. Also really well priced. I have absolutely no concerns about phase 2 of the move as I know it will all be handled brilliantly. Use these guys – you won’t regret it.

Removal and storage.

Alfie and the team at St Albans Removals were helpful and friendly in their removal and storage as I moved temporarily to another house while I had an extension built. They stored a quantity of goods while in my temporary house for four months, promptly delivering them back again when required.   Another important part was the physical act of moving goods from house to house during the extension, which the team carried out safely and with a positive ‘can do’ attitude. It was not just about heavy lifting; they also dismantled and reassembled items like bunk beds and dining room tables.   Alfie the boss is very friendly and keen to be flexible to suit your needs. He is experienced and knows the removal business very well, which is important as you want someone who is reliable and knowledgeable about what is needed. His proactive style helps make what can be a stressful situation as hassle free as possible!
