Allen and Young Removals

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.

Compared with some of the jobs in other reviews this was a relatively small job but I seem to have received just as good service, if not better. What was especially great about it was that Kelvin was willing to come at short notice just before Christmas. I had recently sold a cottage and moved everything except the large pieces of furniture into my present already-furnished home so that every room was full of dozens of boxes of books, lampshades, heavy mirrors, pictures, bedding, rugs, cushions, little tables etc etc making the rooms impossible to live in. Kelvin plus one other efficiently moved everything to the loft and remained friendly throughout. They were flexible about adding and subtracting items as well as removing a disintegrating sofa from the loft that I had not previously asked them to do. There was a small extra charge for disposal of the sofa and a couple of other awkwardly shaped items as I hadn't originally asked for this, which was understandable. Otherwise the invoice was as agreed and I'd definitely recommend and use Allen & Young again myself.

Move from Uxbridge to Cardiff. Over 2 days October 2024. Total cost of packing, packing materials, and the move carried out by 5 members of the team over 2 days. £3276.59. I cannot praise Kelvin and his team enough for helping us through the extreme stress that moving house always seems to put you under. We certainly feel that we were very lucky in being able to employ the services of Kelvin, Andy, Joe and the 2 lads for our long move to South Wales. We had a few works of art to move, fragile ornaments and several items consisting of glass shelving so we required a removal company that would be careful, respectful and knowledgeable of packaging and safe transit of our goods and most certainly Allen & Young were excellent and completely faultless in carrying out this task. As agreed, Andy, Joe and the 2 lads turned up on time the day before the move with all the materials needed and proceeded to carefully pack all the items that we required to take with us, mark the contents on the boxes, and put them on the van. All the lads were friendly and cheerful. Nothing was too much trouble for them even though a 10 hr day must've been tough they worked tirelessly until every item was on the van. The following morning two vans headed for Cardiff and 5 cheery faces greeted us in our new home. Each item was placed in it's required room, not an easy task when moving from one 3 story house to another. A 1st class job from a 1st class company. I truly doubt there is better out there.

Kelvin and his team could not have been more helpful. Thoroughly professional, nothing was too much trouble. Advice was first rate, great care was shown with all my belongings and everything at the new address put exactly where I wanted. The team was hard working and I am so glad to have chosen them for my move. Everything done on time and as promised, and I thought the quote and subsequent invoice were very reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending this team and company - absolutely excellent!

Kelvin and Andy arrived punctually to take boxes from our house in Bristol to a flat in London. They were courteous, cheerful and methodical and treated our house with great care. Our daughter was very happy with their unloading in London. We are very grateful to them for making a small but necessary move so easy.
