FV Removals

We have looked at several removal companies in St Albans area, compared prices, read reviews, and finally decided to choose Friendly Van. They were great from start to finish, and I would choose them again, if need it. No hidden costs, they did everything that they said that they would do, they were friendly, efficient, helpful and professional. Moving went smooth and faster than we expected. We were worried for our heavy and bulky furniture, but they managed to move it with no damage to it or other items.

When I read the reviews of FV Removals before choosing them, it was a little hard to believe that a removals company could be so good. But having used them a week or so ago, I can only say: believe all the reviews!

David and his team moved us from Cambridge UK to Budapest, Hungary (the drop down menu below does not have Hungary on it, which it why I listed Cambridge again). This was a complex move, involving picking up at two locations, with difficult access at one of them. David was very helpful when we were planning the move. The pickup team, led by Jacob, did a very efficient job, with good humour and without complaint.

Two days later they delivered the stuff to Budapest, again in a street with difficult access, to a 3rd floor apartment on a warm day. Again, they didi it efficiently and cheerfully. They were polite with some difficult neighbours. They took special care of some fragile and precious things. Nothing was too much trouble. And they charged just over half the price of one of the other quotes we received.

Moving house is a very stressful event, as everyone knows, but David and his team made our experience so much less stressful than it would otherwise have been. This was by far the best experience of a removal company that I have had, by a long way. I recommend FV Removals to everyone -- you will be lucky to get them.

Having booked FV Removals based on their reviews on this very website I was not disappointed that the reviews were genuine and accurate.

The booking was very short-notice and the packing had to be done the same day as the move.

The property suffers from very narrow staircases and poor access + peculiar neighbours. We have had a number of different delivery teams fail to deliver items to the property, damage walls, etc so were very stressed about the move, especially considering it would have been done in a single day.

Worry we did not as the team showed up at 7am as promised and have had the place packed up in boxes in just over 2 hours. We were out of the property by 12am, 1 hour ahead of schedule.

The packing service was better than if we had done it ourselves. Nothing was broken or even scratched. Items were boxed up in a very easy-to-unpack manner and labelled clearly.

All in all a surprisingly stress-free experience when we had prepared for the opposite.

I am not one to write reviews online but I felt compelled to join the other customers of this business who have had a very good experience.

It was my second move, the first move was an year ago. The first move went very well, so I decided to engage them again. Both times, the staff were very polite, courteous and quietly efficient, quick and careful! Their packing service is excellent and they Packed everything patiently and carefully including crockery and fragile items, and loaded and unloaded all my belongings properly. Their price is competitive too. I sincerely thank FV for their help and I thoroughly recommend them to my friends and family if they need to move.

I was hugely impressed with the services from Friendly Van.  Jacob and Marc were professional, quiet, methodical and friendly.  It was a very hot day and we have some very heavy furniture so I really can't have asked for more. They arrived promptly at 11am to move our stuff from west to north london - they completed the whole job in under three hours, despite the fact that they had to wrap a sofa and there were three floors to climb at both addresses. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Service cost: £190

We moved from a 3rd floor to 3rd floor with no lifts. The team of three arrived on time and worked methodically through the job, loading the van carefully to ensure everything was packed efficiently. We had packed the boxes but didn't have protection for the furntiure but the friendly van team had all the required equipement to ensure the furniture got there safely. It took four hours in total to move a two bedroom flat and this was solely due to the tireless efforts of the movers up and down the stairs.  Having previously attempted to move without professional help I can say using friendly van was worth every penny. Not just highly recommended but essential!

Service cost: £300

We had very positive experience with Friendly Van.  Their job was to move a set of (rather pricy) Gaggenau  cooling applainces  from one place in London to another in rush hours. The Items were not only delicate but also had to be transported in an upright position all the time as per manufaturer instructions. The boys at Friendly Van were on time and very proffessional looking, took care of the items very well and were not rushing it (as many other companies often do). The important factor to mention is that they have full insurance for the items in transit, so one less think to worry about while your possesions are in hands of other people (!!). Fair price too.
I can highly recommend them for proffessional transportation services, will use them again for delivering high end furniture and applianes. .
