Your Local, Independent Home Removal & Storage Company
Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, we are a family-run, independent company specialising in exceptional home removal and packing services across the Three Counties and North London.
We know that moving house can be stressful and that every move comes with unique challenges. That’s why we offer a flexible, professional, and reliable service—exactly what you need when entrusting us with your most cherished belongings.
No matter the size of your move, we take pride in our work and always go the extra mile to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. Many of our customers are amazed at how seamlessly we handle their relocation.
Tailored Service for Every Move
Every home removal is unique, so we approach each one on an individual basis. When you contact us to discuss your requirements, we’ll arrange a free, no-obligation survey of your property. This allows us to provide a detailed removal plan and a fixed-price quote.
For smaller moves with easily listed items, we can provide a quote without a survey. However, we strongly recommend surveys for more comprehensive moves to ensure an accurate estimate and the best possible service.
Let us take the stress out of your move and provide the professional support you deserve!
"Exceptional service throughout. The office staff supported us extensively through our very drawn out move. On moving day we were met with a timely arrival of a very professional and polite team, who went above and beyond to protect our belongings and move us quickly. Would highly recommend to anyone."
Chris, Leighton Buzzard
“From the minute I spoke to Ashlea I knew I'd found the right company for the job. They are an extremely professional, friendly team. They just made everything so smooth and easy, even though I'd left everything until the last minute. Actually left my furniture in a better state than when they collected it! (Fixing handles and loose bits) It was the little details I really appreciated.”
Renee, Borehamwood
"Excellent service, swift to respond to emails and answer queries (however small). Consistently polite and efficient service - even on a pressured moving day. Would happily recommend. Many thanks!"
Veronica, Guildford
"This is the third time we have used Akers for our house move. We keep coming back to them as they take a huge amount of the stress out of moving. They are incredibly helpful and accommodating, approachable and ultimately provide an excellent service. Would recommend them every time and will only use them for moving house."

Professional Packing Services
Don’t have the time or energy to pack? Let us handle it for you! We offer a professional full or part packing service, designed to take the stress out of your move and give you peace of mind.
Our expert team, trained to BAR (British Association of Removers) standards, ensures that every item is packed securely and efficiently, with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Whether you need assistance with just a few items or your entire home, we’re here to make your move as seamless as possible.
Loan Removal Boxes
If you’re moving locally and prefer to handle the packing yourself, we’ve got you covered. We offer the option to loan removal boxes, making your packing process more convenient.
When we carry out your survey, simply let us know, and we’ll estimate the number of boxes you’ll need for your move. It’s one more way we make your relocation hassle-free!
If you wish to purchase boxes to keep, or require any packaging materials, please see our price list.
What happens on the day of your move?
On the day of your move, our friendly, uniformed removal team will arrive promptly at the agreed time, fully equipped to safely and securely handle your belongings. If required, they can also dismantle and reassemble large pieces of furniture.
After introducing themselves, the team will ask for a walkthrough of your property before carefully loading your items onto the removal vehicle(s). Every item will be handled with the utmost care, as if it were our own.
To ensure your belongings are well-protected during transit, we use:
• Wardrobe boxes for hanging garments
• Furniture blankets
• Mattress covers
• Padded covers for sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, appliances, and TVs
At your new home, our team will unload your items into their designated rooms, reassemble furniture, and place hanging garments directly into wardrobes.
Our vehicles are kept clean and tidy, and our staff are dedicated, polite, and professional—ensuring a seamless and stress-free moving experience.
