Abels truly made the stress of moving day so much easier. Prompt, friendly, professional and worked like Trojans to get the job done.
It was worth every cup of tea we made and all of the snacks we provided, they were great. Thank you Abels.

Smooth and easy transition,
We were looking for last minute removals and storage. Abels were able to move fast and make arrangements quickly without a fuss.
The packing team were professional and helpful.

This was a complicated move, spamming two years, with destinations in the Caribbean, Florida, Massachusetts in California. Jayne Eastick wasn’t excellent coordinator and communicator throughout the process. You lost one star because one of the antiquities that you packed was badly broken in pieces. Also, because of the length of time there was some difficulty in communicating between Jayne and the storage people.

Our second international home move dealt with expertly (again) by Jayne and the entire Abels team. Cannot recommend more highly! They do an an incredible job throughout every stage of the journey.

The collection team arrived on time. All items to be moved were securely wrapped. They were very courteous
The same with the delivery team. They were very helpful and took as much cardboard and wrapping that was available. They were very careful when bringing the furniture in.
I was recommended your company and I will do the same if the occasion arises.

Excellent, efficient service carried out by competent and friendly people, who went out of their way to be helpful.

Abels moved us to New York City 11 years ago, and moved us back again to te UK 2 months ago. Every step of every part of each process was efficient, reassuring, stress-lowering, friendly and successful. Communication was always clear and timely. Systems are manageable - the paperwork and the payment etc. Prices are very competitive. The Abels moving people are extremely careful, respectful, professional and efficient. I will recommend Abels to anyone wanting to move in a way that is cooperative, client-centered and as easy as these things can be.

Great communication from start to finish. Hard working and excellent team work from friendly movers who were efficient and hard working. The move couldn't have gone any better and we were done in a working day.

Having not moved house for 47 years we did not know what to expect. However we need not have worried about anything. Great communication all along the way before and on the day too. The team who came to transport our belongings made us feel at ease from the moment they arrived. So professional and friendly it all went without a hitch. Highly recommended on all counts.

My mother 80 year old mum used them as part of Anglo French removers as they are called which is part of Abel’s - not only did Leanne fail to help my mother with any of the forms ( which I laterally found out that they should have done) Leanne was also aggressive and bullying towards her which left her in tears. I did complain to the company and they accepted that this is not how they operate - the quote also rose from 6 to 12 k as the final bill. To add insult to injury they broke my outdoor glass table extending table which cost 700 pounds new. However their crappy insurance only covers 40 pounds per item. We were never advised of this poor level of cover or the additions which I suppose would have been another hefty premium. Not that we got the choice . shame on you Abel’s you have been absolutely dreadful/ I would advise taking a video and asking them to attend the house for a valuation - which is What we asked of them but they refused. We went with this company because of the reviews but the strength of a company is looking at making things right when they go wrong which this company failed to spectacularly….

Brilliant experience from start to finish! Paul gave us our initial quote and liaised regularly prior to the move date and the 3 lads who did the actual move were excellent - not one bad word to say about them! They went above and beyond to get the move done as seamlessly as possible!

A very big ‘thank you’ to Molly and the team who showed up promptly this morning and couldn’t have been more helpful and reliable.
Very much appreciate your very swift support at short notice.
Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Abel’s, from start to finish the service was outstanding. The whole team were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful towards my elderly Father. Would only use them going forward.

Reply from Abels Moving Services
Great experience with Abel’s. Phil and his team were thoroughly professional, kind and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble. Even when I couldn’t decide on the placement of sofas! I would absolutely recommend Abel’s and will definitely be using them in the future for future moves.

Absolutely miraculous
A fantastic team of, what I can only refer to as ‘packing ninja’s arrived and turned what is usually a most stressful situation into a smooth well oiled relocation machine, powered purely by hobnobs and tea! The unpacking service was by far the best thing we have ever booked! A truly professional service from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough!

Friendly staff, polite and courteous. Nothing is too much trouble. Were able to get us out of trouble after another removal company let us down at short notice.
Very appreciative of our efforts to pack and group things together so loading the lorry was easier.
Packed up furniture and a delicate grandfather clock carefully. Moved furniture and boxes all over the house and checked if anything needed to be moved to a final place prior to finishing.
Would recommend for an A+ level of service.

Fantastic service! Men were efficient and friendly and quick. Can't fault them Five stars all the way.

This was the third time I’ve used Abels Moving Services over a 30 year period and I’ve been very impressed with the quality of their service each time. This time was a part-load of 8 pieces of furniture together with some glass and china. Every item was completely wrapped for safe-keeping on the journey.
As a part-load, delivery was at the company’s convenience, but this meant only a few weeks delay.
The delivery crew were proficient, professional and very pleasant. They unwrapped all the furniture and took away the paper.
All contact with the back office was also smooth and efficient from offer through to completion.
