About Able Removals
A family-owned business with deep Johannesburg roots — residential and commercial moves across South Africa, plus flexible storage when you need it.
Our Story
Able Removals is one of South Africa's longest-serving furniture removal companies, founded in 1988 by Eric and Beryl Colley. As a family-owned and operated business, we are deeply rooted in the tradition of providing reliable, professional, and personalised moving services.
Over the years, we have grown and evolved, but our commitment to delivering exceptional moving solutions remains unchanged. Today, under the leadership of Marshall, Deidre, and Joanne, we continue to honour the Colley legacy — making us a trusted partner for families and businesses alike.
We serve greater Johannesburg and Gauteng every day, and we also support longer moves across South Africa when the route calls for it. Wherever the destination, the approach stays the same: careful handling, clear quotes, and reliable follow-through.
