100% Recommend for Home Removals
We had an incredible experience with VA Phillips, from a prompt and friendly initial visit to provide a quote, through to packing and moving. Vern and Dylan went the extra mile on our moving day to ensure all of our belongings were safely moved into our new home and furniture reassembled. They were really kind and took the stress out of the whole process. 100% recommend - we couldn't have managed without you and cannot thank you enough!

Fantastic start to finish
I recently used V.A. Phillips for my house move, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were incredibly professional and efficient, all while keeping a smile on their faces—even when lifting some seriously heavy loads! They handled all of my belongings with great care, using heavy-duty covers to protect everything. Everything was placed exactly where I wanted it, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I’ll definitely be calling them again in a few weeks to move from storage to my new home. Thank you, Vern and Dylan!

Recommending V A Phillips removals
I was very satisfied with V A Phillips removals. Vern visited my flat in advance and took his time to answer questions and estimate the cost, which was competitive. On moving day his small team, with two vans, packed and transported my effects from London to Brighton without any mishaps. Everyone was polite, cheerful and really helped keep stress levels to a minimum! I am happy to recommend his business.

Definitely recommend for a full house move!
My first time using a company to completely pack up my belongings and move them - V A Philips have converted me! Having not exchanged until 3.30pm before move day, the team just put me at ease. They were friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and professional. Would definitely recommend to all needing removals!

Flat move from London to Norfolk
I am so pleased that I chose V A Phillips for my move. I chose Vern as when he came over to give me my initial quote, I felt he thought about my move and needs, and was very friendly and personable. It was the right decision, as both Vern and Dylan were brilliant on the day of packing up the flat, I challenged them with my type of flat and access, but they took it in their stride and made hard work look easy! They did it all with good humour and made what is an incredibly stressful time as pain free as possible. They then travelled up in plenty of time the next day and offloaded everything in a timely manner, whilst making sure that I was happy where things were being put and reassembling my bed. I'm thankful for all of their hard work and I would highly recommend them as a safe pair of hands.

Friendly, fast, professional
I can't thank Vern and his team enough for their work yesterday in moving us. Was short distance (within London), but stressful. Vern and the team were fast, kind, friendly, very flexible and reassuring throughout. They completely put me at ease. I will definitely be using them again and would definitely recommend.

Flat removal
Vern Phillips did a removal for my sister from one flat to another, moving just two miles. Vern was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating before the day – providing lots of boxes to pack everything. He visited when we first got in touch and again a couple of days before the move with a couple of people in his team. The two removers Wyatt and Dillon were both lovely people and the driver John was also a pleasure to be with. My sister has a number of disabilities and they were very thoughtful with her. On a stressful day they made everything go smoothly. They took great care with the furniture when dismantling it and putting it back together again and didn’t leave until everything was in place. And the price they charged was also excellent.

Fantastic service from Vern and the team on a long-distance removal from London to Northumberland
We got three quotes, all from excellent firms, for the removal of our four bedroom home of twenty one years from south west London to rural Northumberland. When we got the quotes, we knew it was going to be a complicated job for several reasons. Amongst other things, the timing was uncertain because we still had to exchange on our new house purchase, and what furniture was going to be part of the removal was uncertain because we were transferring our old house to a rental tenant on a part furnished basis and what furniture was staying and what was going was very much up in the air. So, whilst we were certainly looking for a competitive price, we were also looking to find someone who was willing to do the removal process in a very flexible way, and who we could believe would deliver on the flexibility they promised. From the first meeting with Vern, we had total confidence that he would come good on both scores, and he totally did. Vern, Dylan and David were a great team as they packed up our house over several days in the week before our actual move date so that there was relatively little still left to do on the moving day itself. They did all this with great efficiency and good humour. They then drove to Northumberland with an overnight stop and were ready to unload the next day with my wife at the other end and they were equally efficient and good humoured even after a three hundred mile drive. We would thoroughly recommend V A Phillips for outstanding service and will be using them again.

House move from London to Hampshire
I was very impressed by Verne and his team from the first meeting with Verne to discuss a quote to the time he and his team left after moving me from my home in London to Hampshire. They were very professional and took great care packing my belongings and moving the furniture. Nothing was too much trouble for them. All the team were very friendly and cheerful and worked long hours to complete the move. I can highly recommend this firm for quality of service and value for money.

A great removals service
Very pleased with V A Phillips and his team. All belongings carefully packed and delivered the next day. All done with humour and helpfulness. Arrived early outside the new place ready for the one pm handover - which didn't happen as there was a glitch in the transfer of monies between banks. At one point I thought my belongings would have to go to a storage site but they waited until 5pm when the keys were finally handed to me and insisted on arranging all my furniture and boxes in the right rooms despite having at least a three hour drive back to Croydon.

House move London
Excellent, friendly and professional service. All the team went above and beyond, including to ensure everything was working in our new house. We went for the full packing option and all of our belongings were well cared for at every stage and boxes were accurately labelled to enable us to find things when unpacking. Would highly recommend.

Exceptional Service
We had not moved house for almost 49 years and we were apprehensive beforehand. We need not have worried as Vern and his young assistants were extremely likeable, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They performed their often back-breaking job very efficiently and it is a trifle boring to have no criticism.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - YOU SHOULD USE THEM!
Can't speak highly enough of Vern, Dave, Dillon and the guys. They came and started packing 2 days before the move and everything was handled with meticulous care and given excellent protection. Furniture was disassembled efficiently and rapidly and everything made ready for our Friday move. Every interaction was met with politeness, unfailing humour and a dedication to the job, underpinned by a first class work ethic - they worked hard over long hours and were never anything less than professional. The unloading went incredibly swiftly, despite all the stairs, we shared plenty of laughs around takeaway pizza for dinner (everybody deserved it!) and they came back the next day to finish reconstructing the furniture (Dave is an Ikea genius!). We were tired and emotional by the end of it but Vern and his team stayed positive, polite, professional and hard-working to the end. We are delighted with our move and with the excellent service they provided, and would definitely use them again (if we ever decide to move!).

House clearance
I read the reviews before employing Vern to undertake my late mother's house clearance and I can thoroughly endorse all the 5 star ratings that he received. Vern and Dylan worked hard respecting both house and its contents in a very friendly and helpful manner. They cleared everything we asked them to take and Vern came back to collect a washing machine, a couple of days later, that he unfortunately could not disconnect on the day because of seized connecting taps. I would certainly recommend Vern without any hesitation.

Reliable, careful and good value.
I used Vern Phillips after finding him recommended on this site. He's done 2 jobs for me now including moving an antique glass display cabinet. He's been polite and accommodating when arranging the time and dates for the moves. He's arrived on time and he was careful when moving the items. All delivered to the new address undamaged and unloaded with care. The prices charged were good value too. He's friendly and easy to work with. Thank you Vern and Dave for your hard work.

Professional, exceptionally hardworking.
Vern and his team of Dyland and David worked exceptionally hard, on a very hot day to move my household contents. They were professional, friendly and made the work look easy. I have uses V A Phillips of Surrey Removals before 6 years ago, and am pleased to be a returning customer. Again the standard of work was excellent.

An Absolutely Superb Service
Verne and his friendly, hardworking, polite team took an enormous amount of stress and worry out of our downsize into both storage and a new home; we cannot recommend them too highly. His quote was on a par with other firms but included helpful extras like taking down curtains, furniture fastened to walls, items from the loft, putting a part load in a storage unit etc, which other companies do not. He also went to look at the access at our new home to ensure he used appropriately sized vehicles. Great attention to detail. Communication was excellent, Verne was very accommodating given how difficult our buyers were over the completion date and how close to Christmas we had to move. For every problem he always had a quick solution, he radiates cheerful, calm energy and Lee, Dylan and the others on the team bring great energy, efficiency and thoughtfulness. Everything was beautifully, thoughtfully packed over 3 days, carefully handled and the carpets at the new house well protected with druggets. They worked their socks off. We cannot thank Verne and the team enough or recommend him too highly - he made this move the best we have ever done.
