    Great packing and moving service

    Posted 1 day ago

    We used them to dismantle furniture, pack our belongings, and reassemble furniture at our new house. Everything was packed efficiently and safely with nothing broken. The furniture was reassembled without any issues at the new house, and they came to collect the boxes once we had finished unpacking.

    Removal

    Posted 1 day ago

    I used the above for local removal, as they were recommended by a friend. Paul's team were polite and professional and made me feel at ease! I hope never to move again, but if I did I would use them again.

    Very professional and helpful removal company

    Posted 13 July

    We would highly recommend Paul and his team at Ferriday and Alder if you want a flexible, reliable and hard working team to help you move house. Paul was very responsive from the outset of our enquiry and provided a clear and competitive quote. He also bent over backwards to help us sort out a move date and fitted us in during an extremely busy period at the end of March before stamp duty changes. The team were very respectful and careful on packing day and on the move day they worked flat out to ensure it went as smoothly as possible. We would not hesitate to use them again.

    Moving from Shinfield to Burghfield Common

    Posted 08 April

    Excellent experience moving with Ferriday & Alder to Burghfield Common. We paid for packing and moving, and the team reduced the stress of the day immensely. The whole team communicated clearly, worked efficiently and carefully, and the move was very smooth as a result. Would 100% use again if we were to move again and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you to every member of the team - your hard work was much appreciated!

    Commercial Removal

    We used Ferriday and Alder for a commercial move and the service received was first rate. Mike and the team could not have been more helpful as well as accommodating.
