Removal Firm Recommendations please

[RubySlippedonastraymincepie]

or ones to avoid!

Looks like we may well be moving () so now need to get a removal company

have used Pickfords and Britannia but they are £££

would ideally like a packing service

(We are in the south east)

Thanks ...

...

Matthew James - are based in Chislehurst, Kent - they are excellent did all our packing and storage and had no problems at all with any aspect of their work!

thanks!

anymore for anymore?

lunchtime bump

oooooooooooooh ! is it all systems go?

we used john mason international, they do removals to abroad, so they might travel down sarf? they did packing too

I can highly recommend Coles who were very friendly and professional.

i hope so Camilla - We should be exchanging before Xmas so cross everything

Thanks for the link as well Champagne ...

great..dad said there was a possible problem re the extension hence the delay in exchange?

extension all fine

the thing which has caused a delay is the sodding Xmas post - the contract has been sent for our vendors to sign 10 days ago and they never received it, so it has been sent again - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

don't know where you are but we wnet local
I always try to use a local company if possible rathern than a chain as 9 times out of 10 they are shite
I know someone who worked for Pickfords and told me all sorts of horror stories!

oh for gods sake.. you think someone would have chased it up........well, fingers crossed!

dooley - don't tell me in case we end up using them LOL!

have called a couple of local firms, but it is hit and miss. One company said that they "packed" clothes in bin bags ...

Look in your Yellow Pages for a box of all the local 'federation of removal Companies' or whatever their trade body is called, and call them for quotes. Avoid the big well known national companies.

IME packing is surprisingly cheap if you are using them to move, and SO worth it.

Whereabouts are you - we've used Lanes and Swift in the past they cover mid Sussex / East Surrey / South London type areas.

I am in Essex LIZS

but we are within the M25 so that should help

We're in Essex and used South Park removals last time we moved who were very good(10 years ago).
We're also moving again next year and have been recommended someone else.Will find out their details for you.Whereabouts in Essex are you?
