Moving from London up to Newcastle in a couple months and I need to find a removal company to help me. I was hoping someone here could recommend one that they had used previously. Thanks!
No help for you locally, sorry. My only experience with any moving company wasn't very positive. While they started loading, a huge wooden piece of valuable furniture came crashing down with a loud bang. When I went out, the furniture looked to be ok because it was up high and in place by the time I was able to observe anything. When my household belongings arrived (after an in-between transfer) the piece of damaged furniture arrived with a big chunk of a wooden cylindrical piece about 5" in diameter missing. When asked what happened to the missing piece because it might be glued into place, I was told it must have been misplaced in the transfer. My advice is whomever you chose make sure it will be a direct one-stop delivery. Also, if you have the health or man power then watch them like a hawk.
Whereabouts in London? We had a good service with Doree Bonner when we moved from London to Wales, but as with anything of this nature, YMMV. Bear in mind that London to Newcastle is likely to be at least a two-day move, so it will be pricey.
Rent yourself a box van for a couple days maybe? You can drive anything under 7.5tonnes on a car licence IIRC.
If we end up moving from our current abode, I would do what I did last time... Pay extra for packing. It was 300 extra but to leave your house in the morning, dropping the kids off at school, grabbing a bit to eat at lunchtime and returning home to find everything packed up and ready to be loaded onto the van in labelled boxes then delivered and dropped into their respective rooms... It took a lot of stress out of the day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
