From start to finish even the collection of the used boxes was excellent. Coming round to do an assessment and providing the quotation, the removal crew coming on the day before to pack and load in to the vehicle, coming back the next day to finish with the final overnight items and then unloading and putting all the furniture and boxes to where we ask and then as I said coming to collect all the used boxes, the service of everyone, but especially the crew was so professional and respectful to our belongings and furniture was brilliant, they even unloaded our cars for us.
Without out doubt would very recommend their service. Also, we would like to say that they even accommodated for our short notice in our removal date by rearranging for the size of vehicle to meet our needs. We would like to say a very big thank you for their huge effort and for making our move so stress free.

I have never used a company that literally takes care of everything when it come to moving so I didn't know what to expect or what to do myself. The team turned up and absolutely did as they promised. Took care of everything to make, what usually can be stressful, absolutely stress free. The best service I could ever have asked for. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Probably the best removal service you can find in/around London. Efficient polite and very helpful. Second time i have used the service and i can't recommend them ore highly. The process from start to finish was 5 stars, on the day, they turned up early and packed up a 2sq ft office in 2 hours and moved and reassembled everything all done in under 4 hours.

I can't praise G&AV enough! They were flexible when our move dates changed, sent over super enthusiastic, diligent and efficient packers to pack everything up, and were amazingly patient at the other end when it came to moving into the new house. Worth every single penny - a joy to deal with.

Our house move from a narrow 2 bed terraced to 4 bed house couldn't have gone smoother. Punctual & polite Gentleman & Van professionally got the job done in a timely manner. Impressed they reassembled our furniture without any issues. Would highly recommend.

I am using these guys over the next two months to move, store and bring back my furniture once the work on the house is done. So far, the customer service (Tom) has been great in organising the van, bookings, quotes for me and the guys who came to the house were fast, careful and just nice. Moving is always stressful and to have competent people helping, makes the process easier. Gentleman & A van came recommended by someone who used them twice just recently, so I didn't hesitate to book them myself!

Fantastic service from the whole team. Amy in the office was very helpful. Tom who came to do the survey and provide the quote was very friendly, helpful and open. The price was good compared to the other 'big' companies we spoke with. Steve who did our packing was polite, friendly and quick. Didn't feel like as big an intrusion as we thought it would be. Steve and the rest of the team who did our move were great and got it all done in very decent time. I would 100% recommend them.

I highly recommend Gentleman & A Van. I have worked with many removal/ storage companies (I am an Interior Designer) and G&V are without doubt the best. Their guys are upbeat and helpful and, rather refreshingly, find solutions to problems rather than just saying they can't help- for my own move they had to detach a light well grill, pull an Emperor bed base out a window, and dismantle an oversized piece of furniture! I wouldn't look any further than these guys if you are in South West London.

A fantastic service. It was easy to book and organise with their office staff. The team of 3 that then arrived were brilliant. They dealt with a difficult parking situation and then simply got on with the job with a smile and surprising amount of speed and care. They asked the right questions, made knowledgeable suggestions and were totally professional. Moving back in was even easier and their help to arrange heavy items in our home was gratefully received. They took all the stress out of the move and I would highly recommend them. Best decision we've ever made to hire Gentleman & A Van.

First time I made a booking and the process was fine, I dealt with Amy and Graeme in the office - both personable and efficient. The job was a simple internal move of a very heavy item from ground to first floor - a two man job for safe handling. Minimum job length of 2hr rates applied and was explained at the outset, the job itself was only really 10-15 minutes. Some more flexibility would have been appreciated, but as stated, rates were clearly advised prior to booking. Guys arrived on time, were polite and handled the job without any fuss Before signing off the job they asked if I was happy with the position etc. I'd use the service again and would feel comfortable recommending them.

Another amazing service by Gentleman & A Van. This is the 3rd time I have used them and they have delivered every time. The team on my most recent move were friendly, helpful, efficient and highly effective at doing the job in hand. Great attitudes by all! They always go the extra mile to assist and support you in what is always a stressful time. Highly recommend and would use again with out a second thought. Thanks Gentleman & A Van!

We're hooked for life. These 4 fine gentlemen moved us over the weekend and I found them to be everything you'd want in a mover - prompt, communicative, organised, courteous, careful, conscientious and friendly too. Their packing was perfect - not one thing damaged or lost. I'd definitely recommend them and use them for every move in the future.

We moved from a 2 bed flat in Chiswick to a 4 bed, 3 storey house near Twickenham and the team were absolutely superb. Highly professional, friendly, efficient and really thoughtful, to the point that they laid plastic wrapping on all 3 storeys of carpet so as not to dirty it! We went for the full packaging option and I genuinely cannot fault the service. I hope we'll not need to move again, but if we do, I wouldn't hesitate to use this brilliant company again.
