Reccomend a removals firm?

Hello, can you reccomend a removals firm?

Preferably not the likes of Town & Country, Pickfords etc.
Something smaller & cheaper to move a 3 bed houses contents a few miles.

Ta,
Mattylad. :ban: :ban:

Why not hire a van and do it yourself, much cheaper :D

Surely all the strong lads on here would give you a lift Matty.

I'd do it myself but I'd put me back out for sure.

I can hire a big van if needed, a mate has a HGV license, although a small van may do.
Its the carrying stuff up & down thats problem - I'd be off work for weeks afterwards.

Has your house sale gone through then?

Almost, dropped it oodles to get a quick cash sale from a landlord.
Should be within the next fortnight.

I coudln't find anything in the papers so am still seeking reccomendations on removals.

I recently used a firm called 'Aardvark Removals' - they did a great job.

By the way, I think the reason why they used the name is so that they appear first in the book!

Not a Burnley firm are they?

Eh?

I moved last year, a bit old now.

I used Crew removals.

Some Welsh geezer who had a big trailer & paid a couple of unemployed blokes a mere pittance. Cost me about £100 (plus the bit I gave the lads above the paltry sum they got).
