    Try Robinsons, not cheapest around but did a great job for us with tricky access and packing

    Personal recommendation is always preferred, but if you're stuck (and I hope I'm breaking no rules here - but my firm doesn't actually advertise on Rightmove) their page is here:

    £400 is not too cheap and the company I am using is reputable, and is a huge tail lift truck, with three men, all day!

    Don't assume because its not your company the service is crap! It makes you sound bitter and desperate! It's one thing promoting yourself, but another to discredit someone just because they are offering a good deal!

    Last November I moved a 3 bed house 52 miles and paid £800 and they were worth every penny!
    What you have been quoted is extortionate!

    As someone who knows the industry as well, there is a real lack of appreciation for the costs of removals and the expertise needed to do it properly.

    I didn't read the post as an advert, nor are mine. I think it's two professional removal guys trying to help out...
