Abels Moving Services

Abels Moving Services has worked in moving and storage since 1958. The company began in Norfolk by transporting goods bought at auction houses and later expanded into residential and international moves and specialist services. Its history includes a Royal Warrant for removals and storage, first granted by the British Royal Household in 1988 and renewed under King Charles III in 2025.

For household moves, the company offers planning, packing, and transportation within the UK. Its services range from family homes to larger properties, with packing help and personalized support during the move. Abels also offers a video survey to prepare a quote and a personal-assistant service to help coordinate specific stages and requirements.

For people moving abroad, Abels arranges European and international relocations and publishes destination guides to help clients prepare. The company also lists related services for insurance, foreign-exchange transfers, and luggage delivery. These can be considered alongside the main transportation service, depending on the destination and the needs of the move.

Specialist handling has its own place in the company’s range. Abels works with antiques, fine art, pianos, grandfather clocks, and valuable furnishings, as well as country-estate and historic-residence moves. Its website describes in-house teams and packing for delicate items, a combination intended for collections and possessions that need a different plan from a routine household move.

The business serves commercial clients as well as households. Its business division handles office and company relocations, FF&E logistics—furniture, fixtures, and equipment—business storage, retail and home deliveries, and museum and gallery moves. These services can coordinate anything from relocating an office to installing equipment or transporting collections, depending on the project’s scope.

The storage section distinguishes among furniture, art and antiques, vehicles, and short- or long-term options; it also lists a dedicated London service. Abels presents storage as part of its moving network, so a relocation can include an interim period when the move-out and move-in dates do not align. Space and arrangements are quoted according to the items and the requested term.

The East Anglia head office is on Wimbledon Avenue in Brandon, IP27 0NZ; the website uses that same address for its Norfolk and Suffolk service areas. Abels also lists locations at Lancaster Way Business Park in Ely, Cambridgeshire; The Heights East, Cranborne Road, Potters Bar, for Hertfordshire and London; and Glebe Road, St Peters Industrial Estate, Huntingdon. These are operating and contact locations for a moving company, not a chain of stores open for browsing.
