    House Removal

    Posted 2 days ago

    Reliable and efficient service

    We have used Aston removal for both sale and purchase of our move. Ed and James are fantastic. Very careful with our furniture removal from our first floor flat in Middlesex. All the way to storage in West sussex. Arrived on time and were quick to get it all in the van safely. When we were ready to move they were available within 2 day. Highly recommended.

    Removals / Storage

    Posted 07 April

    Reliable Friendly Service Team

    I used Aston removals to help move a reclining sofa set locally as I was recommended their service. Edward & James were very helpful in retrieving the sofa set, moving and placing at my home. No issue, no damage and polite efficient service at a reasonable price. I am glad to have used and met the guys and would recommend their services onward as reliable and friendly service.

    Man And A Van

    Highly Recommend These Two Guys

    Ed and his colleague are outstanding. As someone who has used various trades over recent years, these two guys are exceptional professionals who really care about what they do. They moved my home items into storage on a very wet day, they not only used dust sheets to protect the carpets, they packaged and wrapped the furniture with extreme care. I have no hesitation in recommending Ed and his colleague, I will be using them to move my items from storage into my next home. Ed was a great communicator, ensuring I knew exactly what would happen and what I needed to do on moving day.

    Exceptional service

    The whole process was smooth and reassuringly straight forward. The team were organised, friendly, and clearly take pride in their work. I’d happily recommend Ed to anyone looking for a stress-free move.

My name is Edward Aston. I've been doing removals since June 2000.

I started off working for a large removal company in Shoreham West Sussex doing Domestic, Commercial moves and machine moving.

I decided that I wanted to work for myself and after 2 and a half years my parents brought Ralphs Removals in Portsmouth that had been established for over 25yrs. I run Ralphs with my father doing all aspects of the business.

In 2008 removals changed a lot because of the recession and this made a massive difference to people moving and effected our business.

I decided to open Aston's Light Removals April 2011 to try and get small moves and delivery work.

Aston's ever since has been doing a lot of medium size moves i.e. Flats, 2 bed houses, delivery work and piano moves anywhere in the UK. We can do larger moves if necessary or I will pass the work onto Ralphs Removals.

In a nut shell Aston's is perfect for small to medium removals or larger, if moving Rental properties as there is not a time restriction.
