Overview
Choosing the right removal service is very important. Looking around at the contents of your home which represent your life’s work, and you will realise that you’ll have to entrust all this to a company you probably don’t know. As this company will be responsible for everything you have ever worked for, make sure you take a few minutes to make an informed choice.
Allen & Young of London provide a full range of packing services to suit your individual requirements. You may decide to pack your belongings yourself, have us pack some items for you, or even have your whole house packed up by our friendly team of professionals whilst you go out for lunch!
We will cater for what ever type or combinations of packing you require. You may only want us to pack your delicate or valuable items such as fine art or porcelain. Some customers prefer to pack their fragile or sentimental possessions themselves and leave us to take care the bulky things.
We can even offer an un-packing service, once you reach your destination. Let us know if you have antiques or fragile items to pack so we can bring special materials if necessary. We use only high quality packing materials and wherever possible we can collect your unwanted packaging after your removal so it can be reused or recycled.
We will normally start packing your possessions at least one day prior to your moving day but if time is tight we can sometimes pack and move over a single day. We have even packed some items and stored them a few days prior to the move to make the moving day and especially moving in to your new property more manageable.
If you prefer to sort your own packing, we are more than happy to advise and support on the best way to go about it! Packaging can be purchased at a discount via our Boxes & Tape page. As we do not at present offer an international shipping service preferring instead to focus on European door to door we do not currently undertake any export packing services.
If you have any questions about our packing services or would like one of our surveyors to visit you do discuss the various options available to you, please call us to make an appointment.

Customer Reviews
7th move with Allen & Young! Highly recommend them, so lovely to work with and were incredibly careful around freshly painted walls and new cream carpets!
Read more Reviewed on GoogleWhen I contacted Kelvin at the last minute about moving us out of a third-floor walk-up in Covent Garden I was amazed to find that he and his team were extremely cheerful, careful, hard-working and attentive to anything whatsoever that might make me unhappy about the business of getting too much stuff down the stairs and out the door. They clapped and cheered at the end of the day. Six months later, when they brought all that stuff to our new home in South Wales, it was the same again. Nothing was too much trouble. They solved problems that had nothing to do with the move. Complicated pieces which they'd carefully dissassembled in London (a sofa bed, a lovely glass table with drop-down wings) were just as carefully reassembled again in Wales. I cannot speak too highly of their customer service and especially of the way they made it almost pleasant to be moving house.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleIf you have to use removals - uou can't do better than Allen and Young Customer Service Quality Value Kelvin, and his team really set our house move off to a good start. They took the dishevelled state of our home in good spirits as we dismantled 16 years of family life. The only comments they ever made were compliments/ at both our old and our new house. They packed our fragile and electric items fantastically well and labelled everything clearly enough that we have had no trouble unpacking. And they cheerfully put up with the many boxes we had packed far less expertly. Kelvin did his best to keep the costs reasonable. It was a very long day and not one of the team complained or slacked. Our friends commented on how hard they were working right up to the end- traipsing up and down three flights of stairs
Read more Reviewed on GoogleReally appreciated Allen and Young's service from start to finish. A very reasonable quote with (unlike some removal companies) no hidden costs; friendly and helpful staff, all done in good time and with appropriate care - no breakages or other damage. Would definitely use them again.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleWe used Allen and Young a couple of years ago to move and they were excellent, so when we were moving again we used them again. They are a professional team, who went out of their way to help us. All the team are friendly and their time keeping is excellent too. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Read more Reviewed on GoogleKelvin and team helped us move from London to Lancashire with a number of stops along the way. They were very efficient, friendly and reliable. Nothing broken, great communication. All in all, a fantastic service.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleAdding another new great review for Allen & Young! (New review 2023) This is the third time we engaged Allen & Young! We moved from a 4 bedroom house to another 4 bedroom house. This time we have them pack everything up as well as unbox all the contents. They also removed the packing materials. Kelvin and his crew are very professional, experienced and polite. They made the entire process fuss free and took our stress away. Kelvin clearly communicated their ETAs, amount of time needed and requirements ahead of time. The crew arrived on time on each occasion and finished the job early! We'd recommend them anytime! (previous review 2019) We used Allen and Young recently to move into a medium rise flat. Kelvin and his crew arrived on time and were very efficient. They gave a fairly accurate initial estimate before the move and the job was finished within the time frame. They took great care of our belongings and were careful not to scratch the new place. Everything was handled professionally. Highly recommended!
Read more Reviewed on GoogleI used Allen and Young to pack up and move from my flat in August 2022. They packed everything extremely carefully, and were good humoured throughout the process. They arranged storage, and six months later - February 2023 - they moved my belongings from storage into my new flat. Kelvin and the team were professional, knowledgable and great to work with, and the price was very fair. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them!

Read more Reviewed on GoogleKelvin and the team at Allen & Young were fantastic! Professional, friendly, efficient! Moving can be a traumatic experience but they made the whole process effortless and seamless. Highly recommended! Thank you again from Debora & Irvin.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleWhat an amazing experience! Moving is such a hassle and a stressful time. Found Allen and Young on an internet search and used the reviews (came highly recommended) in deciding to contact them for my mums move. Did not disappoint! Made the process so much easier taking into consideration that I was organising this from Kent and my mother lives in North London. Excellent communications, timely, helpful in all aspects and job completed with no issues exactly as required. Lovely friendly people came to do the removals! Highly recommend!!!
Read more Reviewed on GoogleWe used Allen and Young for a move from London to Peterborough. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They estimated that we’d need two Luton vans from looking at some videos I sent over and they were spot on. We did our own packing but requested a king size bed be dismantled and put back together again. When we got to the new property they’d already put it back together before I arrived. It was a stressful day but the guys were really calm and good humoured. The removal was stress free. Definitely use them.

Read more Reviewed on GoogleKelvin and his team moved me into the Barbican this week. They were great. They are polite, professional and are experts at dealing with the complexities of moving into a place like the Barbican where getting the furniture into the flat is not straightforward. I would recommend them.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleAllen & Young are absolutely fantastic. Kelvin and his team helped me with a stressful, complicated move and made it as easy as possible. Everything was expertly packed and done with great care. I will be using them again for my next move.
Read more Reviewed on YellWe have used Allen and Young twice to move our offices and both times we have not been disappointed. If I was to get someone again, it would have to be them. They are patient, cooperative and very efficient! I hardly write reviews but these guys do deserve one!
Read more Reviewed on GoogleKelvin and his team were the absolute dream! Everything from the initial phone conversation through to being set-up in our new home was simple, seamless and completely stress-free. The level of organisation was second to none and we felt confident that our belongings were being handled with care and respect. The team were exceptionally accommodating and friendly and kept spirits high throughout what is usually a stressful day. I would 100% recommend Allen & Young Removals to anyone looking for a stress-free, efficient and brilliant team for their house move! TRULY A 5 STAR SERVICE! *****
Read more Reviewed on GoogleI used Kelvin and his team to pack and move out of my flat into storage and they were brilliant. It was during the stamp duty saving madness and Kelvin organised everything with only 3 days notice and his team were great. He even drove across London to meet me to drop off my storage locker key which was really kind. Would definitely recommend!
Read more Reviewed on Google10/10 would recommend they have helped us multiple times at very short notice and have completed every task we needed efficiently and effectively.
Read more Reviewed on GoogleAbsolutely fantastic service moving us from North London to Norfolk. Kelvin and team went above and beyond what could be reasonable expected and took great care and consideration in moving our furniture in to our old property with low ceilings and narrow corridors. They took the stress out of the whole process and were an absolute joy to deal with. This is the 3rd time we have used them and we would not hesitate to continue recommending them!
Read more Reviewed on GoogleI could not recommend Kelvin and his team highly enough. Kelvin surveyed my flat remotely and estimated the time required to pack and move everything perfectly, despite my thinking he would need a bigger team and more time. The team on the day, lead by Kelvin, were great (Paul, Ricky and Andy). All four had a can do attitude, sound work ethic, very polite and highly amusing to boot. They actually made moving and packing enjoyable, great value overall as well. Highly recommend, will use again for any future moves. I wish the team every success.

Kelvin Young and his employees were very courteous to us, and our furniture.
Every item removed from my old home was done so with great care - once the item is in the truck, another member of staff makes sure it is properly wrapped to prevent damage/scratches and is safely secured for the journey.
My desk which was previously damaged from an incident unrelated to Allen & Young was even fixed by one of their staff (Sam), free of charge.
I cannot recommend this removals company enough, you will not be disappointed.
I contacted Allen & Young as they'd been recommended to me and a friend had used their service.
I was letting my property and needed to move and store some larger and more valuable items of furniture.
Kelvin came round for a chat and was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the start - I liked him instantly.
I had doubts about how to get some of my larger pieces out of my (sometimes narrow) Victorian property but he knew exactly what to do.
He and his team arrived the next day as arranged and all my furniture and goods were neatly bubble wrapped and boxed.
I normally find the moving process quite stressful but the whole process was friendly , carefully done and efficient and put me at ease.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Allen & Young for all flat/house moving and other removal work whether large scale removals or small.
Thanks again guys! :)
