We used Burke & Wills, including their packing service, to move to Guildford and they were great.
They were super organised, labelled everything really well and got 90% of the work done on the day before the move. That evening they left us with beds, kitchen table etc (having asked us what we wanted), so we had a normal evening, then they emptied the place the next morning. When we got to our new house they plumbed in our washing machine, set up all the beds, put the kitchen table etc together, so we had a functioning house by the time they left at 6pm. They even did the baby's cot first so she didn't miss her afternoon nap.
One tip; you don't have to pay for a parking bay suspension for moving house - it is free to park a removal van when it is continually loading / unloading. We just asked our neighbours to help us "hold" the space by parking beside us.
