I just did one of their quick quotes (entering postcodes), and it seems they do cover our areas. Ive bookmarked them. I really liked their website. Thank you so much

One thing to note is anyone can have an all signing all dancing website , it means nothing

Thank you, much appreciated.
I only remarked on the website ^ as the company had been kindly recommended by a regular long established contributor to this forum, who is using them for their own move; naturally I would not select any company on the strength of a website alone.

The BAR is an organisation a removal company can join , they do have a complaints proceedure but they do not offer any protection , although they do carry out audits of their members ( as an ex BAR member I would say it didnt maake any difference to the work we carried out )
I would be very wary on getting a quote online , it is esential that someone visits you to discuss your requirements , they can then see what and how much you are moving , and to witness any access issues you may have .
If you can , get recommendations , failing that trust your instinct when running through what you need with the surveyor , ask as many questions as you like , check up on their insurance cover , as we are noticing some new start removal companies , dont have the first idea that they are supposed to have special removal insurances and are running under goods in transit insurance ...this will not cover you

hope this helps

Totally agree with that. I checked out the firm who quoted online and something doesn't feel right; no way would we go with them.
Thanks for your helpful pointers.

When we relocated from Brighton to Hampshire we used Bishops Move. Had no problem with them, in fact we used them for the following two moves.

Just another name for you to look into

Just to update, removal co.# 2 ( BAR member) came back to us with an excellent quote - which we've accepted. Our move seems to be progressing nicely at last, after lots of drama over the past 3 months.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to kindly offer advice. !!!55357;!!!56842;
