Brilliant business and people to deal with. Victoria who handled our booking was nothing short of fantastic and very patient with the problems we encountered with our moving date. Peter and the removal team worked so hard on the day of the move, northing was too much trouble. Their calm and professional approach really helped the whole day progress smoothly. Thanks guys!

I just wanted to say that the team that moved us today did a fantastic job, and they were absolute professionals. It wasn't the easiest move with the large items in the garage and a piano, but they weren't phased by anything.

From beginning to end the service, advice and the move itself could not have been better. Victoria readily dealt with all our queries and provided first class assistance in dealing with Customs etc. Peter and his team made the move easy and secure. I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Thanks.

I had quotes from several firms and Gentlevan were by far the most competitive and professional. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble and despite moving day issues with solicitors and timing they helped to keep us calm and enjoy the experience. Thanks again to all.

This company is genuinely outstanding in every way. From the first visit by Peter to assess the move, through to an extremely good value quote, to Victoria the receptionist who was always available and so friendly, then to the two guys who actually moved me, everything was professional, punctual, nothing too much bother. I really cannot recommend Gentlevan highly enough. Thank you all at Gentlevan so much! You made a stressful experience a hundred times easier.

Dear Peter, Victoria and the team! I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to you all for your help in our move. The care and attention to detail you displayed before, during and after the move has been outstanding and the way you all made it so effortless really made the move an easy one.

A massive Thank you to the Gentlevan Team! They were brilliant, they are truly a professional company! Long story short: our sellers couldn't get removal services in a week notice for the required completion date, but luckily for us Gentlevan have gone out their way to help us out and to fit them in on such short notice, so that our completion wouldn't fall through. In the day of the move everything went smoothly, because of them!
They've moved our sellers out in the morning and they moved us in in the afternoon, like clockwork! This was the second time that we have used their services but I'm sure not the last! Thank you Victoria and Peter!

These guys moved us from a third floor flat complete with balcony garden in tow to a house in a village nearby. They turned up promptly at the time allocated and quickly and efficiently got to work packing up our belongings (of which there was a lot). It was all loaded onto the vans and packed within a couple of hours. The place we moved too has a very narrow street often blocked with cars but the guys managed to get the vans outside the house and very quickly got everything inside.
They even took the contents of our previous balcony garden up the back lane and straight into the garden instead of through the house which saved us a big cleaning job afterwards. Wouldnt hesistate to recommend Gentlevan to anyone looking for a fast and efficient house move. The team worked very hard to get everything done on schedule. Many thanks.

Yesterday, I engaged Gentlevan Removals and Storage to pick up and deliver a beautiful piano. From start the finish, the care and attention given to my goods was exceptional. The piano was treated like a person! Great attitude, precision and strength. Thank you so much. I shall definitely recommend this service and use it again when required.

Peter and his team did a really great job with a tricky move from Banbury to North of Leeds in terrible weather (The Beast). They worked extremely hard, staying polite and helpful throughout - whilst dealing with a large volume of boxes and furniture in freezing conditions. We were impressed.

Peter and his team worked tirelessly on Friday to get us out of our old home and settled into our new home. They took great care with our belongings including my beloved piano. They rebuilt our beds etc and were done by teatime, I was staggered! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and can wholeheartedly recommend their service! Thank you Peter, it was great to meet you all

Excellent service, professional, quick and took great care with all of our items. We even had help disassembling and re-assembling our bed which was a great help. Great price and value for money, i would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in the future :)

Gentlevan Removals were recommended to me by a colleague and I am really pleased to have received the recommendation. Gentlevan offered not only a very good price, but also an extremely good service. The team was hard working, polite and extremely helpful, no request was too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Gentlevan Removals' 5 star service and will certainly be using them again for any future house moves.
