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!

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.

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!

We thought they were a fantastic Removal company, they were very professional but were also relaxed which was well needed as moving can be stressful. They were able to also get our large sofa down the narrow corridor in our new home which was great as this had been a concern for us. They were really helpful and flexible,. They were on time and worked efficiently so we were able to move into our new home within a few hours.  We would definately use them again and would recommend them! .

Really good communication prior to removal date regarding timings on the day and delivery of cardboard boxes. They underestimated the amount of stuff we had to move but quickly rectified the problem on the day of the move: They recruited another member of staff and carried out a second pick up for the remaining funiture that didn't fit into the lorry on the first run. All staff members were friendly and hard working.  Overall we were very happy with the service. .

Only moving two miles or so from London Colney to Smallford. Lots of communication from Alfie beforehand. Two vehicles (one of their own and one leased from a local van hire company) arrived promptly with a team of 5, not all of whom had necessarily met each other before. Not a problem as they all worked well and got the vehicles loaded efficiently in and in good humour without any problems or breakages. Can't fault the work of the team. They were very patient when waiting at the other end for a number of hours due to solicitors hold ups. They then unloaded promptly putting everything in the correct room with no fuss. We were then asked to pay remaining balance in cash which necessitated a trip to the cash point (not always easy when you don't know where the nearest one to your new house is!) Another £150 was politely asked for but we refused, sticking to the initial quote. This didn't seem to be a problem and boxes were collected 48 hours later. All in all a positive experience and we would recommend.

St Albans removals moved us and the contents of our 3 bed terrace from one side of the city to the other.
Alfie and the team did a good job despite very difficult circumstances on the day of our move.
Things did take a little longer than expected but additional hands were brought in and the job was finished by the end of the day.

We had a minor issue with the removal of the piano as the guys didn't have the equipment to move what is a very heavy piece of furniture and as such it had to be manhandled resulting in some minor damage to the rear.

Alfie provided us with a number of packing boxes and has been fairly relaxed about their collection giving us sufficient time to properly unpack.

Overall the experience was good, the team worked really hard and got the job completed to our satisfaction and the price was very competitive.

Having been let down at the very last moment by another firm, we rang St Albans Removals for a quotation and an estimate of how quickly they could clear our office from all office desks, furniture, PC equipment, miscellaneous books, etc. To our delight, they were able to carry out the clearance that same day - in fact, just an hour after our initial enquiry to them.

Five men arrived on time and within a few hours had completely dismantled, removed and disposed of everything we had requested.

The men were very courteous, friendly and polite. They worked solidly and professionally.

Would not hesitate to recommend St Albans Removals - 5 star rating from us!

Service cost: £950

Alfie and team did a brilliant job at moving us from our flat in London to new house in St Albans. The packing service was fantastic and as they came the day before they were able to bring extra boxes and make sure we were moved out in good time on moving day itself.

His team, particularly Jay and Dan, were courteous, friendly, helpful and really careful - none of our items, including a lot of fragile pieces, were damaged in the move and everything was packed up beautifully!

My only comment would be that Alfie didn't view our flat beforehand and although I sent photos so he could see the furniture, he underestimated how much stuff we had (!) so did ask for more money on the day which we hadn't factored into the quote (which we had selected as it was the cheapest initially).

We would still recommend the team - they were lovely, worked really hard and nothing was too much trouble.

Very happy with my move from St Albans to Milton Keynes.  Large move needing two Vans close to the Xmas period.  Moving is very stressful and testing time,  but Alfie and his team were not an aspect of that.  Would certainly use again.
Moved Motorbike, lots of furniture and lots of boxes.  One sofa was marked but such is the cost of moving home. 
Alfie arrived with a large team to ensure we could move on time. and were understanding while waiting for the completion and xfer of funds before we could get the keys to the new house.

I hate writing bad reviews and normally don't but our experience with St Albans removals and Alfie was exceptionally bad.
Initially on the phone with Alfie, after I clearly listed all we have to move and moving literally 5 minutes away, we were told a price of 'around £450'. Then on inspecting our contents and opening all our cupboards and draws which we found very weird especially as we said we will be packing ourselves, we were told 'around £900'. We said their price seems unreasonable and we don't like the 'around'. He asked how much we are willing to pay, we said not more than £750. Agreed.
But then as our house was not ready for us to move in on the agreed day, we called Alfie to ask if we could postpone the move for a couple of days as we have a two year old child and we will not have heating and hot water in the new house nor a working kitchen. Very rudely he stopped me talking and said none of it is his problem and he will not move the day at all, he will await a confirmation for the day already agreed then put the phone down. We already had a bad feeling about this company and their boss, this just confirmed our feelings and we really didn't like how manipulative he seemed to be taking advantage of the bad situation we already were in thinking we will agree to his bullying because we wont have a choice and because we paid him the £100 deposit already. When we said ok then we will NOT go ahead with the move with him, he was agreeing to the new proposed date but at that point we were ready to lose the deposit but to not deal with him anymore.
We were very lucky and we found a different removals company at a last minute who turned out to be a real Dream Team and amazing in every way, and their price of £600 for the whole day without pressure was actually the real price rather than the rip-off by St Albans Removals.

Very happy with my move from St Albans to near Bristol. Small move only needing one van but the team arrived on time and everything was left in their capable hands. Moving is very stressful and testing time, but Alfie and his team were not an aspect of that. Would certainly use again.
Alfie arrived with his team and ensured we could move on time and were understanding while waiting for the completion. The funds had to go up the chain before we could get the keys to the new house and the team were extremely patient.

St Albans Removals is excellent. We have a big home with a family of 6 and as you can imagine a lot of furniture. We moved from America and have oversized large pieces of furniture. In addition, we also have a lot of fragile items, antiques and breakables. St Albans Removals were able to safely and quickly relocate us in the same day. We were impressed that there were no scuffs or scratches on the walls and wood floors. Care was taken with a carpeted areas to avoid soiling. We are very happy with St Albans Removals and would highly recommend this company.

Alfie and team did a great job moving my things within Herts. It cost a little more than originally quoted due to the amount of stuff I had but I'd thought the original quote seemed light so had budgeted for a higher figure. The guys turned up on time and worked very hard and there were no breakages with crockery or glasses so thanks to Malik for wrapping everything so carefully. Josh and James also did a fantastic job dismantling and putting together the furniture in the new place, so I was very pleased with the service provided and would use them again.

Service cost: £850

We moved from a rented property to a home. We agreed on a package of removals and end of tenancy clean for a very reasonable price.
Alfie and his team were very efficient at their job and communicates very well throughout the move. They were very helpful and take pride in their job. The end of tenancy clean was done very professionally.
I am very happy with my move and would definitely recommend St Albans removals and maintenance to my friends and family.

Service cost: £960

Last week I had a very urgent requirement at very short notice to move 6 bulky items which needed dismantling. To further complicate the scenario we had a 2 hour window to do this. Alfie and his team arrived early and were efficient and courteous. The whole operation went very smoothly and all my items reached the new house intact and without a scratch. The team went above and beyond expectations.

It’s the 2nd time I have hired Alfie and his team this year. They come highly recommended.
