Packing & removals service - London/Essex area recommendations

Photogemic · 26/09/2022 06:22

We seem to be finally moving forward with our move after nearly 7 months as our sellers are going to break the chain (verbal confirmation with written hopefully tomorrow!). Unfortunately this means we are moving in the next 2 weeks or so for which I am away on business for 5 days which cannot be changed since new role.

Unfortunately the move date will be non-negotiable since our buyers mortgage offer runs out in just over 2 weeks! So I am looking for recommendations for removals company that will do both packing and removals?

Stupid question as well - does this happen all in one day or do they do the packing day 1 and moving day 2? I was hoping to clean up after they have took everything but not sure how it all works since when we bought our current house we renovated first before moving.

Help and recommendations fully appreciated! Starting to get very stressed with the looming deadline so fingers crossed everything works out!

South Park removals were excellent. I think they do pack, but I packed myself so not positive.

We used James Removals. Fast, efficient, included packing. Nothing broken.

They started packing the day before removal day. I could then clean the cupboards. During removal day I just hovered around vacuuming, mopping, wiping as stuff (sofas etc) got taken away. Vacuum cleaner then came with us in the car, so we could use it in the new place if necessary.

Scott's Removals have moved us several times can definitely pack and store and have always been amazing.

Best Rate Removals are fantastic. They packed our whole house in one day and moved us the next day.

It’s a few years ago now but we used Peglers. Great service. They packed on day 1 and moved us on day 2. Very efficient. We got three quotes and I think they were the cheapest.

I did a thread here with people giving their recommendations, and I detailed the quotes I got.

Ended up using Harradines and very happy.
