Long-distance move from Abingdon, Oxfordshire to Wantage, Oxfordshire

Moving belongings

Zibi did a great job. I moved my stuff from a storage location to my new flat. Zibi was on time, was really helpful and also helped by disassembling parts, which would not fit to the entrance.

Really recommend his service.

Long-distance move from Croydon, Greater London to Guildford, Surrey

Outstanding service.

Mr Zbyszek was very helpful and saved us when the other van man did not turn up in the morning - so it was an emergency. We had a lot of stuff to move including garden and a shed. Mr Zbyszek helped carrying stuff and put it all in a neat order in the van. There were two trips and there were no complaints about that.

Fantastic service, very reliable and an OK price.

Highly Recommended, you won't be disappointed,.

Long-distance move from Southend-on-Sea, Essex to London, Greater London

Excellent move.

We moved from Southend to west London last Friday. Some personal issue meant we did not start looking for a removal company until the weekend before the move. I was panicking and sent out many email requests for quote. Helpful van was one of the first to reply to our email, first thing Sunday morning. We were given a per hour quote, 2 men, few other bits of information (insurance, etc) and the specification that no additional cost will be charged.

We had a few brief email exchanges and a brief telephone conversation the day before the move. On the day the van arrived bang on time. They worked very hard, even drove back and forth a narrow street many times to get the whole van loaded, as there was parking issue which was not their fault. All the time they acted in a highly professional manner. For instance, they wrapped up my mattress with their own carpet. They offered me boxes. They were courteous throughout and certainly did not moan about anything in front of me. They offered me a lift back to my new place. They placed the items in the room specified, and reassembled dismantled furniture. At the end they charged exactly what they asked for.

I have nothing bad to say about the company and would recommend the company to anyone.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Excellent, fast, helpful moving!

We booked Helpful Van's services on short notice after our tenancy agreement fell through with only a week left. I was recommended their services by a family member, and the appointment was booked in no time at all. On moving day, the van arrived twenty minutes early, and was not only happy to wait for us, but also was very helpful in assisting with carrying some of the heavier boxes and pieces of furniture - often single-handedly. On arrival unpacking the van was even faster, and the whole time the removal man was polite, friendly and efficient. Would absolutely recommend, and would definitely use this service again!

Smooth and stress free.

Great service from Helpful Van. Good communication before the job - my sms were answered promptly, and then on the day Zbyszek turned up nice and early, and got stuck in straight away. The whole move was done and dusted nice and fast. They even helped us move additional items that hadn't been quoted for with no complaints. Highly recommended - will definitely use again.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to London, Greater London

Thanks.

Had to collect a whole room (bed, warderobe, desk and many smaller objects) then collect a fridge from another place (about 15km away) and deliver everything to a third place (about 7km away from the fridge). Zibi arrived 45 min earlier and agreed to wait until I am ready, was very polite and accommodated changes in my initial plan, which was shorter than actual. Highly recommended.

Long-distance move from London, Greater London to Colchester, Essex

Excellent and helpful service.

I used Helpful Van for a move from London to Colchester after seeing it recommended on this website. I got the very reasonable quote of £120, all inclusive. Zibi was happy to take on my move even though it was a fairly small one with little furniture. He had to remove my front door to get my desk out - not an easy task - and was efficient and professional throughout. My move went very smoothly and I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Service cost: £120
