Movers - West London

Hello, looking for a good reliable moving company in West London (or who cover that area)

We are moving from a 2 bed flat (basement) to a house in S London, so looking for recommendations.

I'm thinking 2 movers + Luton van or bigger (we've got a 3 seater sofa, a single bed, 1 x double bed plus other furniture. No white goods or wardrobes)

Don't really want a man and van as would like the security of insurance and a reliable team.

Thanks

    I used "carlos the mover" twice, actually quite a big company despite what the name suggests. Not sure if they have insurance, they sit somewhere between the big boys like Pickfords and your traditional man with a van outfits.

    Absolutely brilliant service, the guys were very efficient but very careful both times. Price was very competitive.

    One Luton van sounds suitable for your needs.
    We had over twice your stuff, and two Luton vans was sufficient.

    I used a man (men really) with a van (it's a truck) and they were great. They were really great, I used them twice and even stored some stuff with them. They were that great that when I ordered some new appliances that got delivered the same day, they were kind enough to help me move them in when the delivery company refused to cause of an extra step!

    They're fully ensured and very reasonably priced too.
