We really appreciated the great work from the team at F Smith & Son. Our move was a little complicated, but every step of the way went efficiently and smoothly. The team collected items from our house as well as a storage unit outside London. The goods were containerized and stored for about 10 weeks at the Croydon facility. These were then brought to our new house in Gloucestershire. I can't speak more highly of the men who moved us. They were punctual, super polite and worked really well together - their professionalism was top notch! All the goods were loaded/unloaded with care. After unpacking multiple boxes, framed pictures and putting furniture in place, I'm happy to report that every item is in great condition. F Smith & Son had clear & effective communication through the entire process, and I would highly recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

We just want to say a huge thank you the office team and the removal lads. It took forever for my Grandparents transaction to go through and this company cannot be more highly recommended! They kept in constant communication, detailed looked around the property, was fair and honest and such amazingly priced! I was only able to give them 2 days notice (provisionally booked a date) and they were able to deliver - the office and team were so understanding, we were so appreciative! The removal lads were absolutely amazing and hilarious! Any worries or nerves my Grandparents and I had, were impossible to have around these lads. They were so lovely to talk to, laughing and joking, just made everything feel so much easier. They were quick, careful and thoughtful of all my Grandparents belongings but were so fast! I was feeling tired for them! They are such pros. Will forever to continue using this removal company, they are amazing and very much worth every penny and more! Thank you so much again!Posted on Google![]()

I was really delighted with my painless move! Lee was wonderful at packing up and he and Bengy couldn’t have been more helpful on moving day too. Thanks to them both.Posted on Google![]()

The F Smith team were not the cheapest quote we received however we were very impressed with their professional attitude and approach to the stressful moving process, this is right through the business from the quotation team, the office team and the removers them selves. They made us feel at ease and made the process much easier. The team on the day were well turned out and the supervisor took charge of the entire process. The moving team of 4 were hard working and courteous. They stayed at both the old and new addresses, on all three days, until the required work was completed. We moved 120 miles which I was dreading, but the F Smith team were fantastic and just took it in their stride. A big shout out in particular to both Bradley an Reece, however the initial 4 man loading team were also exceptional. We would definitely recommend F Smith to any of our family and friends thinking of moving going forward.Posted on Google![]()

Moved out to storage then back in to Lewisham. The team were very hardworking, communicative and a pleasure. F Smith & Son were recommended by a colleague and I can see why. Packing service was well worth it tooPosted on Google![]()
Maksim MijovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Absolutely fantastic. Easy to deal with, reasonably priced and very upfront about what you would and wouldn't get. Super experienced, professional and communicative, and they asked lots of questions, which I was glad of. They came the day before, packed most of the house and did a part load. On the day they finished packing and loaded up in time for us to clean before leaving. At the other end they unloaded and checked with us where everything should go, so boxes ended up in sensible places. Quick, polite, tidy and punctual. Getting them to pack and unpack was worth every penny, and I'd never move without that service again. Great work, thank you.Posted on Google![]()

Moved from SE London to Canterbury. The team worked incredibly hard, took all my garden stuff in their stride, and were so patient when there was a hold up getting keys. So glad I got them to pack. Amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
