I have used Paul and his time for a number of moves and have always had an excellent service at a reasonable price. The guys who came to pack and the guys (and girl) who moved us the next day were all friendly and very efficient. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely brilliant removal company. Right from the start Paul and his team made a stressful time bearable! The communication from the start was excellent. The team who packed us up the day before the move were very good indeed, they took care with the delicate items. The day of the move we had five in the team, they were all extremely efficient, polite and very strong! We have used Ferriday and Alder on a previous move and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Excellent hard working and responsive team, they had to move our complicated and rambling house's contents, with 30 years of accumulated possessions, over a 3-day period. They are an excellent team, friendly and enthusiastic and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done to the customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Ferriday and Alder

F&A did a great job moving us from our 3 bed to 4 bed house. Their communication was prompt and clear in the lead up, and the team on the day were friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend Ferriday and Alder for anyone organising a house move.
