I was very impressed with the service that I received from Eco Movers. I was apprehensive about the move to begin with, but Eco Movers put me at ease from the beginning. The 2 guys that showed up were extremely polite and very respectful of all my belongings. The moved everything out quickly and with ease. The unloading of the truck was even faster. I would highly recommend Eco Movers! (read more)

From the initial quote discussion to the final invoice great service from Eco Movers. On the day updates from the office on arrival time (we booked flexible time), the guys were friendly, quick and efficient at loading the van managing to fit in all the extra bits I wanted moved. Unloading again very quick and careful and went above and beyond with lifting our fridge freezer into place! Overall very pleased with Eco Movers and would definitely recommend them. (read more)

I've used Eco Movers twice in the past six months, and both times the service was great. It was a different pair of guys second time round, so it wasn't a fluke. Both times the move was carried out quickly, efficiently and safely. There was no drama - they took everything in their stride. Value for money was also excellent. I have already recommended Eco Movers to other people, and would not hesitate to book them again myself. (read more)

I recommend strongly this company. From start to finish everything was perfect. It is rare enough to write a review. The price for the move was very competitive, the person with who I booked the removal was very professional and patient and the two removers who came to do the work were friendly, professional and efficient. In one hour everything was done! They also sent text to me to let me know that the removers were on their way and they called me the day before to give me a slot of 1... (read more)

It’s not very often we feel the need to write a review of a service, but Itsvan and Daniel from the Eco Movers Team were exceptional in making our move a stress free event.

We used Eco Movers for a packing and delivery job. An excellent service from the beginning at a competitive price. The Sales Manager, David, was helpful and accommodating in the early planning stages. And on the day, the crew (Balazs, Istuan and Jonathan) were enthusiastic, good-natured and very professional at all times even when the job began to run late and they stood to miss their work Christmas party. Highly recommended. (read more)

We had hired a van with two men to do a complicated three stage move - and it wasn't a big move, and we did one last minute change of date, so we didn't expect to be flavour of the month with Ecomovers.

I am still thinking about how lucky we were to find Eco Movers. We booked late in the day,; had to change the date ven nearer the time; we had far more stuff than we'd realised in the loft; and we had loads of book boxes. From the guys in the office to the wonderful removers, you never turned a hair. You work hard, do what you say you will do, and don't make a fuss. How amazing that you are also very reasonably priced. Our move was local between two places in the Surbiton-New Malden area. (read more)

Dear **********
I really appreciate you taking the time to review the service you received and particularly appreciate you pointing out the positive aspects of your experience as well as the areas where our performance was substandard. Our road teams are our single biggest asset and we are immensely proud of how hard they work and the pride they take in delivering an efficient moving service.
However, I would like to apologize once again on behalf of the office team for the administrative error that led to you receiving a two man team and not the three man service you originally requested. The overcharging was the result of you having already paid a deposit for the three man service. We did immediately refund the difference on the day of the move and I hope that the third man we did send to complete your move free of charge as soon as we could went some way to making up for this mistake. We are keen to prove to you that we can live up to your expectations and would like to offer you or your friends and family a 10% discount on your next move with us.
I am always keen to discuss customer experiences so that we can continue to develop the quality of the service we deliver. Should you wish to discuss your move further, please do not hesitate to contact me on my direct line 0208 971 4323 or my email d.pardy@ecomovers.co.uk.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr XXX
We are really very sorry that you were unhappy with your move and the events following it.
However, as you can see from previous reviews across the internet, we have a justified reputation for providing excellent service at competitive prices and we have not achieved this through treating our customers unfairly or through being incompetent at what we do.
We originally proposed a “two van two crew move” because this was what was required to do the job in one journey. Instead you were happy to do the move with one van given the opportunity to save money. We advised you that with only one van this would almost certainly involve more than one trip but to help you cut costs we agreed to go ahead with one van and in addition to absorb the cost of travel time if more than one trip was needed. This generous offer by us saved you money but the move of course took longer than if we had used two vans. We were still very happy to offer you a two van service. This was your decision, it was not a failing on our part.
As regards your complaint about the insurance excess, because even with the best operatives and packing materials moving is a risky business, we offer our valued customers a range of insurance options. We provide free of charge insurance for any loss or damage over £500 or, for only £50 more, provide comprehensive cover for loss or damage over £50. This was not buried in the small print as you suggest. You signed the insurance instruction stating in full size type and clear as day “I understand that in the event of a claim against you in respect of the work, I am responsible for the first £500”. We are an ethical company that offers a fair deal at a fair price and always makes the terms clear and straightforward.
In summary, we told you clearly in advance that more than one trip would probably be involved and that in the event of loss or damage you would be responsible for the first £500. You could have paid a little more to avoid these risks but chose instead to save the cost and take the risks. In all fairness it is, at best, unfair of you to now complain at the two trips and the £500 excess.
Nevertheless we are grateful to you for your feedback and in the interests of goodwill, we would like to offer a you 25% discount on your next move with us. Feedback from our customers, whether critical or supportive is crucial to the continued success of our business and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your move with you further if you wish so please do not hesitate to contact me on my direct line 020 8971 4323. Darren Pardy General Manager Eco Movers.

Dear Rachel
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the service you received. I really appreciate you pointing out the positive aspects of your move as well as the aspects you were not happy with. We are very proud of our operatives and how hard they work and will certainly pass your comments onto the team who moved you.
I really am sorry that you were not happy with the way we handled your claim for the TV you reported as being damaged during the move. I am particularly sorry that you felt our response was patronising. Clarity is at the heart of our customer service goals and we have worked very hard to be as transparent as possible regarding how we operate. To this end our terms have been ratified by the Office of Fair Trading.
As with all British Association of Removers (BAR) registered moving companies, we do have very clearly defined policies and procedures. We would not be able to deliver a consistent service without them. We did explain verbally before accepting your booking and in our confirmation email, on the PDA handset which you signed prior to our crew commencing work and in our terms and conditions that you were responsible for arranging parking.
We estimated that your move would take 9.08 hours. You did accept that this was an estimated price and not a fixed price quotation which we would happily have provided following a site survey. In reality your move took 9 hours and 30 minutes. I am sorry that you felt that 22 minutes was such an unacceptable variance on the estimate. Within our industry a variance of 3% is considered very accurate.
I would welcome the opportunity to prove we can deliver on your expectations and would like to offer you or your family or friends 15% off your next move. Please do call or email me to discuss.
With kind regards
