How It All Began
A remarkable man and his van
Nearly half a century ago, young Bristolian musician and future local legend, Steve Fanger, needed a van for his band, The Vultures, to transport their equipment. He purchased it, and due to his reputation for hard work and reliability, he frequently ended up assisting others with their removals as well. What began as a necessity soon turned into his calling, leading to the establishment of Painless Removals in the summer of 1978.

Reviews & Testimonials
I recently used Painless Removals in Bristol for a house move and was extremely impressed with the service provided. They were prompt and professional from the initial quote through to the end of the removal process. I wouldn't hesitate to use Painless Removals again for any future moves. The whole experience was effortless


Dr. John Jones
Painless Removals have been brilliant, couldn't recommend them more. They helped us move in Bristol and then helped us organise a cross-country move. Both were done on a tight timeline and at a good price. The guys who moved us were very kind and efficient - Thanks again!

We went for the full packing and removal package when we moved. The whole process was painless from start to finish and the team was exceptionally friendly, efficient, and helpful from start to finish. Would strongly recommend their service to anyone.
