Removal companies

Options
Hi everyone
Have had lots of great advice from the forum in the past so hope someone will be able to come up with a good suggestion for a removal company.
We live in Greater Manchester and are moving house about 2 streets from where we live. I am looking for quotes for the move from a 3 bedroom house, moderate amount of furniture, no grand pianos or expensive antiques.

So far I have had anything from £240 inc boxes to £500

Just want to be sure we get a good service at a fair price.

thanks guys

    I've used Bowie's & Heaton/GB Liners (same company different brands) before and they were a) very good and b) cheaper than others I got quotes from.

    They have a Manchester based office and storage facility (Altrincham I think).

    We used GB Liners when we moved from Warrington to Hampshire seven years ago and put our stuff in store for 4 months.

    They were excellent. Friendly and efficient. Their Manchester depot was in Altrincham.

    We used RObinson's to move from Oxford to just outside Warrington, and I know they have a manchester branch somewhere.
    Not cheapest, but friendly and efficient
