so far picking companies at random from internet and, givne how expensive the process is, it would be good to have a recommendation. Thanks.

Moves. For me they were very expensive, but for my brother they were not at all expensive (a question of logistics, I suppose), but both of us had absolutely superb service. Can't fault them at all! These men do not walk - they run. They don't waste one second of time. The only damaged item was a thermometer, everything was immaculatly packed and labeled, they were polite and helpful and extremely professional.

Thanks

We used Maitland Bell last time we moved and we were very happy with them. I opted for the full packing service and it was the easiest move I've ever done.

Thanks

Thanks. I'm getting quotes from all of these. Fingers crossed they are not too high. I'm so naive I thought moving costs were the least of my worries but friends say it can be really expensive!

I used a local company (not local to N London though). The office staff were shite but the blokes that turned up on the day were FANTASTIC. Price was 1/2 that of the bigger national movers.
