Booked this company to help me move

Booked this company to help me move, had to change move date three times and they always accommodated and never charged for this as long as they had three days notice . On move day there was a lot of waiting round and they never made a fuss or bother at all. Very reasonably priced very friendly happy guys would definitely highly recommend them to anyone I know.

Brilliant service.

Was so impressed with Direct Professionals. From first contact to last they were incredibly patient (moving date changed 4 times and they just kept re-booking us). Our removal men Jordan and Mick were great and very careful of my mums stuff. We ended up waiting until nearly 3pm for keys and they were brilliant. Would definitely recommend from my experience.

Very happy with the service provided

Very happy with the service provided. Good communication from the initial contact and willing to meet my moving day criteria without any extra costs for it being a Sunday. They were on time and very professional in everything they did. Went the extra mile by offering help to move furniture around the house after off loading. Would highly recommend them.

Absolutely perfect service

Absolutely perfect service. Returned to their services after a year and was the same exceptional quality. Strongly recommended both for their quality of service and professional behaviour. Nothing was an issue for the crew and always happy to take the extra mile. Congratulations to all and each one of you.

Go the extra mile

Great service! Above all they were honest and understanding. They went the extra mile to comply with the agreement!
Viewed the house in advance and gave us a quote for the whole removal. They were on time and did not complain about anything. Dismantled what needed to fit and protected everything needing protecting. The quotes team is very nice and the guys on site as well. Much better than other services I used in the past where the first sentence we hear from them is complaints about a couple of steps on the front door.

Very good removal company

I could not ask for a better removal company. We moved our entire house in one day. Iordanis and Dimitris were extremely professional, kind and quick. They helped us move our stuff and very kindly helped us sort them out.

I have only good words to say and will strongly recommend them.

Couldn’t find a better removal crew

Couldn’t find a better removal crew! Professional, understanding and worked like crazy. This is our third move and this team were much better than any other we have had. From accommodating our last minute booking to putting together our furniture at the other end all the guys were incredible. Highly recommend!

Moved yesterday from London to Bognor

Moved yesterday from London to Bognor. The whole process from booking ( we had to change our moving date and there was no problems) to the moving day was one less stress. We had 2 vans and 4 guys who just worked so hard. And quick! They wrapped our leather sofas - and the TV’s and mirrors as I had run out!! Very professional and polite. Would highly recommend! Thank you

Good with time keeping but this company has issues to reconsider

I used this company about a month ago – I didn't get a chance to write a review until now. They arrived on time & moved everything on the time that we had to move which was great because we were in a chain and I was worried if the packers and removals will be there on time to pack and move everything. We had a lot of boxes and furniture to be moved. However, i had the following issues with this company:

- At the original quotation time, I explained to them we have a lot of things to be removed shall I send them a video or someone needs to visit in order to provide a more accurate estimate (because they charge per hour) they said no it’s not necessary. It did cost far more than it was estimated originally just based on how many bedroom we had. So, If you are using this company make sure you send them a video or get someone there to provide a more accurate cost.

- We found afterwards some of our glass and fragile decorative figurines had been broken. Also, they don’t bubble wrap expensive furniture. They use a black clingfilm product which doesn’t do the job of bubble wrap when you are moving expensive furniture. That’s why our expensive cabinets were damaged. I suggest if you are worried about damages use a company that has a good Insurance policy that would allow you to claim any damages at least 5 days after the removal. It will give you a chance to find out if anything had been damaged.

- Another problem I had with this company it’s their system of demanding payment to be done exactly when the removal company finishes its job. Moving house specially, if there is a chain, is an extremely stressful experience. The last thing anyone need is a removal company demanding payment at that day. This company doesn’t provide a set price and the cost is based on how many hours they've worked, how many boxes they've used and how many times the removal people have to go up and down the stairs and lot of other things that needs time to be revaluated. They don’t give you that time they have no respect for the stressing time that someone is going through with moving and literally demand the money to be paid exactly when the removal people finish.
Overall, the people who packed and moved our furniture and boxes worked hard but there are issues that need to be considered if you are using this company, to make sure it is the right company for you.

Dear Orchid,

Thanks for leaving us a review. We try our best to give accurate estimates based on the number of bedrooms in a property and how far they're going and under normal circumstances we are always very accurate. In your case, where packing should have taken 3-4 hours, in your case it took 8+ hours. This is an extreme scenario due to the huge number of knick-knacks and small items there were.

Our company system is to go by the hour for local move like these, just in case we encounter out of the ordinary amount of items that takes longer than normal, as it happened with you.

Keep in mind, we normally send 2 vans for a move like this as it took us 2 separate trips to finish as a favour to you to try to keep the costs down as you didn't want to go for 2 Luton vans and 4 men, where we would have finished earlier in the day.

In the case something is damaged, you should have gotten in touch with us and we would have found a better a solution for everyone, but you instead decided to leave us a review a month later instead of calling our offices for options and providing proof that something was damaged.

We don't bubble wrap expensive items (sofas or cabinets) as bubble wrap is NOT INTENDED for items of that size. For expensive items like that we use shrink/pallet wrap (NOT CLING FILM as you write above) which is far more protective and versatile as bubble wrap is used for small items or TVs. I also need to mention that we also offered the pallet wrap FREE OF CHARGE to you.

Your "expensive cabinets" weren't damaged, as shown in the picture we still have on file, the cheap tapestry on one of them was just gotten unstuck in one of the corners and one of our team members that was there on the day quickly rushed to find some glue in a shop nearby to mend it for you for free, which afterwards you thanked us and said it was fine. But of course you don't mention this part in your review above.

We are fully insured for up to £25,000 per van for goods in transit, the highest rates you can find in the market currently, if you were still unhappy for the mending we did to your cabinets you should have let us know and we would have sorted something out for you.
Bear in mind, most insurance firms cover for damages while the items are inside the carriage of the van (i.e something shifts and breaks) no firm covers for " for up to 5 days after removal", this claim is absurd and cannot be traced back to the moving company as the customer could have broken the item within those 5 days themselves. We are offering the option for the customer to check the items and ascertain if everything is fine before we leave for the day, which was plenty of time for you to check if everything was in order.

Finally, you seemed to have NO PROBLEM taking care of payment immediately after the packing day so we don't understand why was suddenly "stressful" for you to make another transfer to us to take care of payment the following day as a transfer to an existing account takes literally 30 seconds.
We did call you 30' minutes before we finished moving you to ask you to sort out payment before our team finishes for the day, as we do with all customers, in case you have any issues or have no internet or no signal, so one of our team members can help you out.

It is stated in our TERMS AND CONDITIONS that the customer must take care of payment when the job is finished and not the following day or any time after that as there are additional charges for delays on our system when payment hasn't been completed, which you weren't charged for as we decided to make an exception for you as it was a long day. This is the same for ALL moving companies in London, the ones that do accept payment the day after or a week after are amateurs or do this as a second job and this is not a good way to do business. Again, as you took care of payment the day before after the packing was done, this should have been transparent that we would expect payment when we finished moving you.

Excellent Packers and Removal company

We were unsure about our move in date, but Nick had held a provisional date for us for the 21/22 June, for which we had to decline due to issues with moving. Then things went full steam ahead on the 23rd June and Nick had provided packers and movers on the 26/27th June. All went so smooth, the packers, the removal men, the organisation and all the hard work was really appreciated. They were absolutely fantastic, communication from Nick was great too. Thanks so much for making our move as smooth as it could have been! Sarah and Hassan.

Highly recommend & value for money. Great customer service and hardworking team. From our first communication to the completion of the job everyone has been so helpful and accommodating. We used them for 2 house moves into 1 over a week, with very short notice.

Highly recommended!!

Great experience, I highly recommend the company. Not only the prices are the best, but everyone especially Petros is so helpful, providing great communication and support. I had to move out of my house during covid, whereas I was stuck out of the country. The team handled everything, packed my house, provided boxes where needed and gave me storage for my things. Great customer support and amazing experience. I could not recommend high enough!

Don't trust this company

We agreed a move date with this company, to which they agreed saying 'That's great news, 28th June really works well for us at the moment'. We then expected to pay a deposit but didn't receive any request, despite having cash ready to pay. So as we hadn't heard anything my wife called, as it was just over a week before the move date, to be told that they weren't able to do the move any more!
They literally dropped us like a stone and didn't even bother to call us to let us know.
Due to it being such a busy period and with only a week left before our move we haven't been able to find another company.
It has been horrendous and clearly they didn't care less.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, the truth of the matter is that we didn't have a slot available for you as you had a big property and required a lot of vehicles and manpower from us.

You waited until the last week to commit and make a booking with us where at that moment we had given out a few of our vehicles to other customers and didn't have the previously agreed upon number of vans and men to send to you.

You also left out a few vital details from your review above, where we phoned and emailed you every week leading up to your move to check up on you and see if you wanted to book us to ensure availability.

When you called us a week prior to your move to finally try and book us you also claimed that "we (our company) never asked you for a deposit to secure that date" where this is not true when we clearly did a full calendar month earlier.

I am quoting our email that was sent to you regarding this on the 24th of May:

"Dear Richard,

Thank you very much for the email choosing to go with us for your move.

As I mentioned, we would be able to offer you our full services (packing, removals and materials) at *****.

[We would also need a deposit for our services beforehand which will be ****** and the rest of the money to be paid to us at the end of the job.]

Once you get a clear-ish date please let us know so we can arrange everything else.

Thank you!"

When we said "That's great news, 28th June really works well for us at the moment" as you mentioned above, that was on the 7th of June where we kept your slot available at that moment in time, despite other customers inquiring for it.

Without having secured a deposit from you we have no obligation to withhold a slot for you especially in such a busy time and the fact that we did until the third week of June was big favour from us as we turned down so many customers already.

Excellent services

My experience with Direct Professional Removals was by far excellent! Punctual, on time as advised, professional and very polite staff. My furniture was covered and protected and I did not have to lift a thing. They did everything in a professional manner and I would highly recommend this company! Thank you for making my move stress free!
