Abbeywood removals.
i used Abbeywood a while ago.Only now have I full unpacked and have discovered many problems. I received a very poor service,though the team were friendly The estimate included removing many many things that I didn't take and emptying the loft. However, I emptied the loft myself. The men therefore had far less to pack and do than expected. They initially worked well but left early saying it would be done next day There then was a panic on moving day to be out on time Unloading appeared really rushed:things were dumped in the shed that didn't go there. Boxes labelled living room left in the garage. Plants were broken; They couldn't get a wardrobe upstairs till i said to take it apart. Suddenly it was upstairs! I felt like they were desperate to get away. i didn't check everything very well. Mattresses were still in plastic; the table put together wrongly; some furniture wasn't rebuilt, On unpacking i discovered many breakages as some things were unwrapped.Dirty walking boots were thrown on top of bedding;towels were used for wrapping things;heavy winter clothes were rammed on top of summer things as clothes weren't in wardrobe boxes as had been promised. They were very creased. i received a small amount of compensation i have finally unpacked the pictures and glasses. Many are chipped and had to be thrown out. Picture frames are broken/chipped and the glass smashed due to lack of wrapping paper. i rang to tell Abbeywood but they seemed uninterested! I do not recommend them.

Not very professional
I found them to be in too much of a rush and I feel they didn't seem to take time with our furniture & goods. They struggled with furniture through doorways

Moved like grease lightening
Service was efficient from quotation to delivery of our furniture in our new home.

Ok
Asked Abbeywood to include in their quote for two flights of stairs to be completely covered as brand new. This was not done. Also they sent a 58 year old man who could not really cope with all the stairs. Badly damaged wall. We had a very small amount of furniture and feel we paid a lot of money for a job not carried out very satisfactorily. Not very happy.

Overall, very efficient
Excellent group of men, well led by the team leader. We felt things were a bit rushed towards the end of the packing, so some items got left behind that should have gone in the "garden" truck. Otherwise they were very good. We would have liked better communication from the office ahead of the arrival of the packing team.

Prompt & professional
The quotation was the best of three, but also we had a friends recommendation for Abbeywood Removals. We did find them to be very good and we will certainly recommend them to others when we are asked.

My Review
They performed well generally, but fall short on communication of affirmation prior to pre-pack and follow up call after move. It is not possible to sign off, when having just moved on the same day, the condition of furniture etc. Hence 75/100.

From the first visit of Abbeywood to advise to our removal to the finish box being emptied from the removal van. We had the best service. Professional with out expectations. Everybody from beginning to end.

Great team
Team of 2 guys turned up the day before the move, packed whole house that day. Day of move arrived at 8:00 - loaded everything and too it all to the new property. Excellent teamwork & results highly recommended.

Knew their stuff
The lads did a good thorough packing job & were very helpful throughout. Moving day saw a lot of waiting around, but they took it in their stride & still got us unpacked before the light went. Thanks Abbeywood.

Efficient, slick service
The removal men were extremely helpful and definitely go the 'extra mile'. There was a mix up with my quotation which was based on misunderstanding between myself and the company. Adrian was very helpful, explanatory and understanding. I would happily recommend to others.

Abbeywood Removals were very professional, they were on time, moved us twice to the same high standard. The removal team were pleasant, helpful and carful with our furniture and belongings. I would recommend them.

Abbeywood proved to be good time-keepers. Excellent communicative relationship with ourselves. We are very pleased with the outcome and we have already recommended them to a friend who plans to move soon.

Personal, friendly, fine!
Good research, preparation for 3 day local pack and move. Professional, cheerful, hard working crew. One thing only - boxes, labelling could be more detailed, but very, very good service.
