We recently used the services of Ferriday & Alder which was really second to none. The staff were very professional, caring, polite, helpful and understanding at all times, giving us peace of mind that we were in good hands. We highly recommend this company to anyone who is planning to move home. A big thank you to the company for a brilliant job they’ve done.

We were very impressed by the efficiency and experience of all the men who helped us with our move. Everyone was helpful and friendly and went the extra mile to help with moving special items and a large number of garden pots and plants. Despite a few hours delay in obtaining the keys and having moved us to a new home a few hours distance from Reading, they were speedy and efficient unloading our belongings and getting them into the right place! Thank you to everyone in the team and we would certainly recommend Ferriday and Alder to anyone else considering a house move.Verified reviewerJob location: RG3110 My first move in 17 years was painless.
