Recommend Removal Companies

Could any of you recommend a removal company? We are moving from Greater London to East Yorkshire on the 19th January.

We are collating quotes - Britannia quoted a 'rough' figure of £800, but their final figure came in at £2265 ex VAT and insurance :eek: We have a small 3 bed semi, nothing unexpected.

Anyway, any companies that come recommended would be very much appreciated.

    I got a very competitive quote from A2b mini moves, but Im not sure if they do outside london?

    worth giving them a ring they were a third of the price of others Id phoned and recommended from someone on here who said they were excellent
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I got quoted £360 for 2 bedroom terraced house 10 minutes walk away to our new house. Its a little on high side, but I prefer a company thats renowned for handling things as they are actioneers. Also have insurnace as I cant afford to pay for ought, and supply boxes for free (to return)
