FV Removals

Friendly Van were great from start to finish. No hidden costs, they did everything that they said that they would do, they were friendly, efficient, helpful and professional. It is difficult to choose a removal company so basically you have to go on others recommendation and I would definitely recommend Friendly Van. I was a bit worried because we were moving quite a long way with a family of five but it was actually really smooth and trouble free thanks to David and his team.

2 guys and a Luton van for 4 hours (actually only 3hrs 45mins). There was confusion over the time as it was meant to be 5pm but they thought 6pm. They were then 45 mins late for 6pm due to overrunning previous job. Once they arrived they were efficient and careful. They helped put together my bed on arrival. They had 15 minutes left to work but because it was so late they needed to go home (10.30pm).
Cost was £60/hour and billed for 4 hours.
I was moving bed, big wardrobe, 2 sofas, cabinet, full kitchen stuff, clothes and books from basement flat to 1st floor flat with lift.
I did all packing myself in advance.

I did the move on a Sunday and they were very professional and friendly. They answered any questions I had and the move went very smoothly. They spread out the work between them and were happy whilst they worked. They helped me dismantle a chair that needed to be moved, and put it back together again on arrival. 
When we arrived, they put all the boxes in the right rooms and stacked them nicely. I found it easy to get to boxes that I needed to unpack. I would definitely use this removal company again, and will recommend them to my employers if we do move. I would also recommend them to my friends as they made life so much easier by taking the stress out of moving.

The guys were completely professional from start to finish. We were rather anxious with our first major move but they answerd all of our questions and were nothing but patient and polite. They give of a freindly vibe which is a bonus. The driver, Mark arrived on the dot and helped load our stuff into the van which they had picked out for us. Spot on with the van size which was great. He protected things which could be bumped during the journey too. Upon arrival, he was kind enough to wait for us to grab the keys from the agency and then he help unload everything. Nothing was damaged, not even scratched.
We will definitely use Friendly Van's services again and recommend them to everyone. Don't spend hundreds of pounds for a company without character. Choose these guys, cheap and friendly!

I have received a number of quotes to compare prices and services and Friendly Van was more or less on par with quotes I've received from larger national and/or bigger local companies. I know that I will just get what I pay for so I went on to removalreviews and Friendly Van had been the one with the best reviews.
I highly recommend Friendly Van - from the start of the process David has been helpful, always responded to queries immediately, and had to reassure me lots of time as he knew I was nervous with the move! I had read lots of nightmare reviews of removal men not turning up but it turned out I had nothing to be nervous about at all - the guys arrived early, moved very efficiently, always cheerful, never complaining, and was very accommodating. All our stuff got moved safely, they helped with the reassembling where needed, placed the furniture in the right places, and always assured us to just let them know if we need furniture moved into another position. And the house we have moved into are on 3 floors! I have already told David that the guys were excellent and are an asset to his company, and will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family as well (I already have!). Thanks again Friendly Van, keep up the good work and regards to the guys :).

Booked 6 weeks in advance and was provided with a quote within a couple of days to move from Abbots Langley, Herts to Morden in Surrey.
Called week before to confirm and everything was still on track but was advised that they would be later than originally agreed due to another job - I challenged this and they then provided one person to start packing on my packing day which did concern me as by the end of the day not even half the house had been done (due to volume of my stuff rather than competency of the packer, he was really good). However David and another 4 guys came back sharp the following morning as agreed and whizzed through the rest of the house, got everything packed and on the road by the time they said they would and worked relentlessly. Great friendly team. Unpacked truck and took everything to the various rooms at the other end  - nothing was broken and most things were well labelled. I would totally recommend using Friendly Van, David and his team are friendly, efficicent and organised and managed to get my 3 bed house packed and unpacked in good time.
