Very professional, flexible and organized
Abel’s were great throughout the entire process. The crew were very professional, flexible and organized. They handled all our items with extreme care and delivered in impeccable state. Our move required a lot of flexibility and they made sure they worked around this and not inconveniencing us throughout the process. Very highly recommended. 5-star quality and service. Will not go anywhere else in the future.

Norfolk to Shetland Islands
We were moving from Norfolk to Shetland Islands and chose Abel’s due to their international reputation. Our goods were delivered on a very wet and windy day but all arrived safe and sound after storage. The two men from Abel’s were careful, courteous, cheerful and professional under very difficult circumstances. Our thanks for a complete job well done from start to finish!

A very calm and stress-free move
Professional, responsive, courteous and careful – we just had a very calm and stress-free move using Abels and would not hesitate to recommend them. Every interaction I had with the people in the office and the movers was positive. Thank you Abels for making what is a stressful event, moving house, a very easy day!

Very professional
The end to end service with Abels Removals was carried out in a manner from the initial survey, placing the order, Admin support through to the move itself. The Abels removal team worked tirelessly in order to complete the move on time despite encountering problems at the vendors property. My advise is to place your house in the hands of a professional removals company such as Abels to ensure it all goes smoothly on the day. I have no hesitation in recommending Abels.

Very highly recommended
Abels has assisted me with three house moves over the past ten years, using its storage facilities on two occasions. They are the best. From beginning to end the service provided is superlative. Everything is done with care, courtesy and professionalism and nothing is overlooked. The team on my recent move was quite brilliant and really went above and beyond. Moving house is very stressful and you need the reassurance of an outstanding company like Abels to help ease the process. Very highly recommended.
