    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!

    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.

    House Removal

    Posted 03 February

    We used Ferriday and Alder Removal Service. The quote was fair and reasonable, and despite it being just after Christmas, Paul was able to schedule a convenient time for the move. The packing of our painting was done well, and although we packed the boxes ourselves, the team managed the removal efficiently. Everything was placed where we wanted in the new space. We would definitely use them again.

    Home removals

    Posted 03 February

    Made our lives a lot easier. Contacted the day before the move to see if they could load some boxes/furniture early and the team came in and worked quickly and efficiently to take the pressure off from the actual moving day, which was a big help. Arrived on time on the moving day and were again quick to clear the remaining furniture/boxes. Great team!
