We had a removal company all lined up to go, just waiting for our completion date, and now we have it, they are fully booked. We need someone covering SE London with a packing service. Very, very grateful for any recommendations. Moving next week.

We just moved from SE5 to Manchester. We used a company called Smile moves based in Dulwich.

I think this is their site:
smilemoves.uk.com/index.aspx#

There are two companies called smile moves confusingly! The guy is called Simon so if that's not him when you call I can PM you his number.

We used the full packing service and it was so worth it. Think we paid about £800 all in and they really were incredible, not a single breakage.

urgh! Hate moving. Always takes much longer than you think it should do. All that stuff you forget you had. We used these guys the other day for our office move and they were good - //www.bigredremovals.com - think they're all over London

Had a really funny posh guy moving our desks, gave us all a laugh!

I just used Crispins, they were really good, very efficient - my dh was away whilst we moved and I was really worried about doing it on my own but they were very helpful and easy to deal with. Used them on the basis of recommendations from a few different friends so think they must be consistently good.
