Allen and Young Removals

Found Kelvin and his team by chance on Next door. Chose them among five others. Moved a house into two different flats on two different dates. Loved them. The team is great, nice, careful, friendly, respectful, fun. They care, they are creative with constraints, helpful and dedicated. I cannot recommend them enough and will do so every time I am asked in the future. Thank you again.

I have used to Allen and Young twice now and, on both occasions, have been extremely impressed with the service they offer. They are very professional, reliable, accommodating (even faced with a particularly awkward staircase!) and friendly. I recommended them to some friends who were also very happy with the great value and great service that they provide. I'll certainly be in touch again the next time I move house. Highly recommended.

We are absolutely delighted that we consulted Which Trusted Traders and found Allen & Young to move some of my mum's furniture from London up to the northwest. From our first telephone conversation, Kelvin was efficient, courteous, helpful and professional. No difficult web forms to complete. He was able to assess our needs simply from talking them through. There was no unnecessary communication or harassment, just an agreement with follow up email confirmation. This was such a relief after the stress we had experienced from other possible providers. On the day, Kelvin and Andy turned up punctually and showed consummate knowledge and care in the way they handled all the furniture. They gave us an expected time of arrival in the northwest and confirmed a more exact time when they were drawing close. My daughter, who received them at our house, reported that the men were lovely. They carefully sorted and placed things where asked, making the chairs look as though they had always belonged and ensuring items stowed in the hall and garage were treated just as carefully to maintain easy access for us when we returned home. Throughout the process, they were gentle, polite, supportive and understanding. We would recommend them very highly indeed.

Kelvin and the team of movers were exemplary. They were particularly good at dealing with the tensions and indecisions which are part of moving house - calm, relaxed, helpful. It was particularly good that they could dispose of unwanted items of furniture which we really didn't want to have to take with us. Add to that the speed and skill with which beds and furniture were dismantled, taken into a block of flats, manoeuvred into a lift and along narrow corridors. A five-star performance.

Had a great experience with this removal team. They were friendly, professional, and handled everything with care. Our moving day included some uncertainty around completion time, but they responded calmly and flexibly, adjusting their plans without fuss. It made a stressful day much easier. Really helpful and provided a solid, reliable service throughout — would happily recommend.

Kelvin and his team provide a truly impressive service. I had a complicated timetable of packing up different parts of my house and then having different lots of boxes returned at different times. Kelvin managed all this to suit my requirements and took all the stress out of a difficult time. His team were a delight to have working in the house at a time when things could have been really trying. They packed up 20 years of family life in a surprisingly short timespan, labelled all the boxes, and then later several months down the track when the building work was completed, they returned it all in different instalments to the right rooms and at the times I asked. I cannot speak highly enough of them. I strongly recommend them to anyone. Very helpful, polite, hard working, efficient, and excellent value for money. If I ever need to move again, they will be my first choice!

This was an extremely well organised and planned move (eg packing over two days before the move). It was carried out by an equally cheerful and can-do team! I'd definitely use them again. Boxes were labelled, furniture and key items were placed where I chose in the new flat and a couple of box-free areas for normal living were created. They managed to overcome seemingly impossible barriers such a getting a collection of fairly heavy plant pots onto a raised terrace surrounded by heavy existing planters. It's a pity they don't unpack but maybe that isn't feasible unless you know in advance exactly where you want everything to go. It seemed a large amount to pay but given the amount of work involved, and its quality, I think that was fair.

In everything Allen & Young were exemplary: in helpful labelling, almost wholly recyclable packaging, careful and attentive transportation of a variety of fragile items. Across two high rise blocks they transported all our worldly goods and they were a calming presence in our move.

Kelvin and his staff packed all of our contents with great skill, care and efficiency. On the following day, they came and moved 83 boxes plus several garment boxes and all the furniture, beds, paintings etc. Everything was done with care and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend Kelvin and his company.

Very professional and great team of careful movers. I used the packing service and they packed one day and moved the following day. Dismantled and rebuilt the large furniture. Very recommended.
