    Long distance house move

    Posted 08 August

    Fabulous service as we relocated over 200 miles. First to respond, first to quote, and we were delighted with the service all round. A more helpful and likeable crew we could not have asked for. We very much appreciated all that each and every one of the team did in the days leading up to the move with the packing service, and the move itself. Nothing was too much trouble and all done with consideration and good humour.

    Good, tidy and polite.

    Posted 08 August

    Firstly I found the quotation was realistic. There was good communication between myself and the company, particularly as we had to reschedule the moving date. The day of the move went well. The three guys were very polite and hard working. They laid down runners to protect the flooring and even dismantled and reassembled a wardrobe that wouldn’t go up the stairs at the new house due to it being a different design. They even put our bed back together, headboard and all. I would highly recommend this company for your removal.

    Next day removal booking

    Posted 02 July

    Had removal survey and quotation from Phillip in April and had hoped to have reasonable breathing space between exchange and completion. Was in regular contact with a patient and understanding Phillip over a number of weeks. Ultimately, exchange and completion happened on consecutive days but Alexander James worked with us to ensure the move happened as smoothly as possible. The removals team themselves were professional, efficient and conscientious throughout. Would highly recommend Alexander James Removals.

    Removal service

    Posted 26 June

    From start to finish, my experience with Alexander James Removals was exceptional. The communication was excellent- prompt and professional. The removal guys worked so hard and were immensely helpful. Moreover, of the three quotes I received from removal companies, Alexander James were the lowest and by far the best value for money. I highly recommend them.

Alexander James Removals is a family run company based in Waterlooville Hampshire.

We offer a professional removal service to domestic and commercial customers. We undertake approximately 30 removals per month throughout the UK & Europe. We can provide a full packing service and have our own storage facility should your sale and purchase not tie up.

Ahead of the move we always undertake a survey at your convenience to ensure that we get to meet the people that we could be potentially moving. This gives you a chance to ask any questions or discuss any concerns that you may have. You also need to make sure that you feel comfortable with the people moving you. The other reason for undertaking a survey is to ensure we supply the correct vehicle and the correct number of people for your requirement.

All of our staff are employed and are full time removal men, and we have goods in transit insurance of £10,000 as standard, and can quote for additional cover if required

We are approved by Hampshire county council Trading standards, 'Buy it with confidence' scheme


It's our job to make your relocation as simple and straightforward as possible and we take our responsibilities very seriously indeed. Why not contact Alexander James Removals and receive your free no obligation written quote?
