Has anyone some advice on good removals companies?

I am moving from Kent to Surrey, about 40 miles.
From 2 bed flat to 2 bed flat, with 3 flights of stairs at the far end where I need items moved into the correct rooms. I should have my own boxes arranged.

- edit : I need to store stuff for a couple of months between selling and buying!

    I've used Roberts & Denny's a couple of times for my moves & very happy with their service & pricing.

    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    We've just moved with James' Removals. They were very good actually. Can't compare them on price as I didn't get any other quotes.

    I run a removals company
    Advice would be to ring around for quotes, ask for insurances.
    We provide free packing materials, on a returnable basis.
    All our staff are fully trained in removals, and health and safety.
    They are all uniformed and happy to keep your removal smooth.
    As for storage we charge a month in advance, make sure you are covered for insurance while you are in store.
    Just a few factors for you to contemplate, :)
    A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

    I've used Securit Storage in Bookham, Surrey to store a sofa for 12+ months.

    They are not a removals company so I think everything would have to be packed up in advance, but they were reasonably priced.
    Penny: I'm a little low on cash.
    Leonard: How much you got?
    Penny: Nothing!
    Leonard: How can you walk around with no money?
    Penny: I'm cute, I get by.

    I have used Regent Removals in the past and have always been 100% satisfied with their service! Very friendly, professional and hard working. Would definitely recommend them to any of my friends.

    Hi, I think Best Choice Removals of 59A Grange Walk can help you out with this. We have dealt with them last month for moving our house to North London. Quite a good service. Hope this could help you more:
