Removals

Options
I am hoping to move house in a few months time from the Wokingham area to Shropshire.  Any money saving tips in regards to removals also any recommendations of companies to use?  

Moving from/to a 4 bed house.

    Firs of all declutter. Get rid of anything that is not used/surplus etc.

    Start collecting boxes and pack the things you are not likely to need before you move.

     Make a plan of the house and label the rooms. Note on each box which room it goes into. This saves the removers having to ask where they go.

    Pack sets of thing in the same box. If a box goes astray with half an item the other half is not much use.

    Ask local removers for an estimate.  Without knowing where you are it is difficult to recommend anybody. 

    Ask how  much notice they need as they may be booked up for the day you want.
