Contact us today, and let us handle your move! FAQ Do you have to empty drawers for removals?
- Please ensure that your drawers are emptied to the best of your ability before the moving day. Moving heavy furniture is already a challenge, even when it's empty. Imagine the increased difficulty of moving a dresser when the drawers are full.
For smaller chests of drawers or bedside tables, items like clothing, towels, sheets, or pillows can usually be left, provided they are not overstuffed. However, it's recommended to remove heavy objects and pack them in separate boxes. Additionally, it's advisable to pack small, fragile, or valuable items separately.
Whatever your requirements are get in touch with our friendly and professional team for a great value, no obligation quote today!

GENTLEVAN'S CUSTOMER REWIEVS
Gentlevan helped us move from Banbury to Burton-on-Trent in late January 2024. We first contacted them mid-December and Victoria stayed in touch with us weekly - every week it seemed we were given a new potential date. We really appreciated Victoria’s patience, kindness, and professionalism, and luckily they had availability when we finally got a date at the eleventh hour (thank you so much for your flexibility with the deadlines). Attila, Zsolt, and Imra (who did our initial survey) were down to earth, friendly, quick, conscientious, and professional. Special mats and carpet covers were used in both properties for which we were very grateful. They had an endless supply of blankets and covers, and the moving wardrobes were a godsend. They asked us about items/boxes when they weren’t 100% sure, put everything where we wanted it to go, and just generally went the extra mile. And they were, in fact, gentle with everything! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend. Side note for those considering the optional fees, get the Late Key Waiver - the peace of mind is so worth it!

Moving home is stressful enough but trying to get some service from removal companies can be quite hard! Just getting quotes can be a struggle , so I wanted to at least give a strong recommendation to Gentlevan Removals. From the very beginning Victoria came back to me the same day to arrange a survey of my belonging and what would be needed. Promptly the chap turned up for the appointment and following a walkthrough. I then received an email with a full quote. I’m sorry to say from the other 5 companies I contacted, it was hard work and only one other got in touch with me As I was self packing they dropped up enough packing material and boxes, so we could get everything ready for the big move, On the day I was greeted by three great chaps Peter, Imre and Emil , who were not only amazing and extremely polite but went out of there way asking if we needed any help moving things on our arrival. I can certainly recommend Gentlevan Removals as a great option & good value. if you are moving and I am confident they will give you the same outstanding service. Thank you all for all your help

Booked last minute when my completion date moved forward and the original company I had booked could no longer help. The movers went above and beyond, packaging up my tv, glass dinner table and several mirrors which I was really worried about moving. Had an issue with getting my sofa into my new property, and the staff quickly came up with a plan to put it into storage for me so I didn't have to worry about it whilst already dealing with a stressful move. The office team contacted me about the storage, and made the entire process super easy for me. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Arrived in style all the way from Banbury to our new home in Spain! True professional movers, Gentlevan from Banbury took care of all of it with ease. I can't recommend them highly enough, careful, courteous, a really friendly team and great communication from everyone. A mention to Peter Vass and Ferenc (who also drove all the way here) and Victoria who organised everything, great work guys, all of the team deserve thanks! 🥰 #removals #removalcompany #europeanremovals #euremoval #removalservice #removaluk #Movinghouse #spain

Fantastic company. Great communication throughout the whole process from initial enquiry to delivery in the UK. You could not have been more helpful, professional and friendly. We moved from France to the UK and every step of the complex customs requirements was explained to us and was therefore very successful. Thank you Victoria, Peter and George.
