About Us

At F Smith & Son our priority is to offer a quality, reliable and personal moving service to all of our clients.

To be able to deliver this level of service, our staff are trained to a high standard and are experienced in problem solving and how to overcome difficulties encountered whilst carrying out your removal.

Please take a look at our customer feedback below which we believe speaks for itself.
     
 
Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Code of practice: 94%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the Code of Practice?
 
Description: 100%
Before the move, did your remover give you a clear description, price and timetable for the work to be carried out?
 
Loss or damage: 97%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to a). Liability for loss or damage?
 
Claims timing: 86%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to b). Time limits for making claims?
 
Cancellation: 91%
Did your remover draw your particular attention to the contract terms relating to c). Cancellation / postponement rights and charges?
 
Protection options: 97%
Before the move, did your remover explain your insurance or other protection options?
 
Claims procedure: 84%
Before the move, did your remover make you aware of the procedure for making claims and to whom complaints should be referred?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Three locations to one including packing.
 
Cost: £2500
 

"We have used F Smith & Sons on a number of occasions over the years and never cease to be amazed by their professionalism. The staff are great, reassuring at stressful moments and most importantly careful and considerate with our possessions. A fantastic move again this time - everything on schedule and perfectly executed - no easy task when we were moving from three locations into one!"

I required a full packing and removal service
 
Cost: £2239
 

"The removers arrived at 8.00am on the Thursday and packed all day being very careful not to damage any item. They packed the lorry with what they could that day and took it to their secure storage facility over night. On Friday they completed the packing and then drove to my new house 60 miles away and were there before the vendors had moved out. They waited until vendors had left which was a couple of hours and then unpacked the lorry putting up the beds and placing the marked boxes in the correct rooms making it much easier for us to sort out. The three removers Ian, Barry and Aiden were really amiable and made the move which can be stressful very enjoyable. F Smith and sons were recommended to us by my daughter who moved from London to Gloucester a few years ago and I would recommend them to anyone moving home."

Packing and moving
 
Cost: £1750
 

"The packers were excellent however on the moving day the company did not send enough removals men and the three men then worked one man down and the workload was too much for them - they didn't event have time for lunch.
They themselves were great and worked hard b we were disappointed the company did not send enough people"

Move from 2 bedroom in Surrey to 3 bedroom in Hertfordshire.

"A fantastic, professional removal team! From the home survey, admin team, packing and movers the while team were polite, friendly and professional.
We had the full packing service so Lee arrived the day before the move and was very friendly and organised. Everything was well packed and labelled.
On moving day Dave, John, Martin and Louis arrived early and once again were friendly and professional. We even left our property well ahead of time thanks to their hard work!
Despite some difficulty getting into our new home the guys were understanding, helpful and flexible.
A really big thank you to you all!"

Customer Review
 
They packed and moved my furniture and belongings from a house in Chelsea to a flat in Pimlico.
 
Cost: £880
 

"Two guys arrived at 10am; I was asked to show them around the house; they then moved around the house carefully packing everything (including the contents of larder cupboards and the fridge); they raised any issues about whether something needed to be packed; and they completed the process of packing my furniture and belongings in around three hours. They then drove to the destination property and, once there, unpacked everything and re-assembled furniture in about two hours.

All in all, they were impressively efficient and a delight to use."

Move from Croydon to Caterham The move presented difficulties as it was from the 12th Floor with a slow lift to a first floor with no lift and problems parking
 
Cost: £1100
 

"I found F. Smith and Son very professional and helpful, particularly in the way they overcame the various difficulties which presented themselves during the course of the move (not of their making!).

They struck me as very honest and reliable and I would recommend them wholeheartedly."

We were moved out of a flat into a three bedroom house with a number of steps moving up to the front doorway. We mostly packed ourselves but the men on the day did help us scoop up some extra bits.
 
Cost: £1070
 

"What could have been a very stressful day was made relatively painless by F Smith and Sons.

The team were very efficient and cheerful. They took care with everything and were very positive about the whole experience.

I would definitely recommend the company to friends."

Move from ground floor 2 bed to 1st floor, no lift, 1 bed 5 mins drive.
 
Cost: £1200
 

"The initial quote visit was the most thorough and well explained/presented on site. Better than any others. It was the least expensive bar one which was very poorly presented and only done quickly over the phone. Long established family firm, recommended by estate agent.

The crew were pleasant and friendly throughout and did the same day packing and unloading quickly and efficiently.

During the move in they were happy to place everything where I requested, including putting up with my changes of mind.

All the boxes were clearly labelled by contents and original location.

Very happy and will definitely use if I move again - hope not though!"

We moved from a three bed flat to a house with boxes we''d packed ourselves that were far too heavy to be lugged around!

"The company were a pleasure to deal with the whole way through. From the moment the wonderful Lorraine answered the phone I knew we were going to go with the firm whatever the quote - which, incidentally, turned out to be more than reasonable. She was so lovely and reassuring and professional and human, I trusted her immediately. All following correspondence and meetings were great. We were a last minute booking stressed and panicked and everyone at the company reassured us and kept us well informed and relaxed. The actual movers Barry and Dave were bang on time, polite and funny and a pleasure to be around. Everything was bang on. Can't thank them enough and when we do move again it'll be with them!"

Moving from a 3 bedroom house in Croydon to a 3 bedroom bungalow in Hertfordshire.
 
Cost: £1300
 

"John and Adrian arrived on the Thursday afternoon to part pack in order to get away as early as possible on the Friday. They were very swift in loading a good proportion of the goods in 2.5 hours. The team arrived promptly on Friday morning to finish loading the furniture and we were away by 10.30 a.m . The staff dismantled our beds and resurrected them again at our new home, not an easy task as one of our beds is a six foot wooden frame, but all was completed with a smile on their faces.

Everything was placed at our new home and the lorry was emptied by 4.30 p.m.

I would definitely recommend this firm.

We moved from London to Yorkshire with F Smith. The move was complicated as we leaving some furniture at the house and splitting the delivery between the new property and storage.
 
Cost: £2400
 

"The guys on the job were great. Really helpful and worked hard and handled the unload into the new place after a long day brilliantly. They also made sure to sort out the delivery into the local storage company well and minimise the number of storage containers.
