Removal Firm Recommendation please

Postby nvmof3 » Tue Apr 22, 2014 8:47 pm

Hi, we are moving to Haslemere in the summer and I need to start getting quotes from removal firms. Has anyone done a big move recently and thought that their movers were good value and reliable?
Thanks in advance

We used Burke & Wills (bright yellow, can't miss 'em!) a few years ago for our move (within London) and thought they were great. I remember they were about the same price as another quote and more expensive than someone else but we had confidence they'd do a good job, and they did. Very hard working and efficient. Bizarre to see your entire house packed into a huge lorry! I have friends who used them for a move out last summer and they were pleased as well. Good luck!

Hi - Gentleman and a Van are brilliant. They were the most cost-effective and the most helpful out of the quotes we got. Good Luck!

Another recommendation for A Gentleman and a Van-they are great. Good luck with the move!

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.

We recently used Cavendish & Country for a move from SW11 to out of town. Couldn't fault them - polite, amenable and they worked super hard! I'd definitely use them again. And out of all the quotes I got, theirs was definitely the best value.

Anthony Ward Thomas we have used twice now and using them again next month - they are brilliant! I can not fault them!
