Recommendation for Smile Moves removal company


Recommended Posts

I wanted to post on here about the removal company I used to move house last week, as they came recommended on this forum, and I was so pleased with their service.


I got quotes from 5 different companies and went with Smile Moves as they were most competitively priced. They packed up our two bed flat, and moved us from Hither Green to East Dulwich on the hottest day of the year so far.


The team of three (led by Simon, whose company it is) were absolutely brilliant. They packed all our stuff the day before we were due to compete the sale/purchase. They were really friendly and efficient. They packed us up in about 3 hours (leaving out essentials we needed for overnight), whilst we went to the pub for dinner - the most relaxed packing experience ever! It was absolutely worth the extra money to get them to pack for us. We have a little boy so it meant not living out of boxes for weeks, and all packaging materials are included and I know from experience the enormous amount of boxes you need and how much they cost...so all in all I reckon the price isn't much different and the stress is much more manageable!


The next day they arrived early and loaded the van with all our stuff (two massive sofas fridge freezer, washing machine, etc. all included) and we were packed up, cleaned (I did that) and out by 12.30.


They moved everything into our new house, asking me where I wanted everything and moving things if I changed my mind! They even plumbed the washing machine in for me. They put the beds/cots down and up again.


They barely stopped all day and worked so hard to make the experience as stress free as possible. I actually quite enjoyed the day!


Simon gave me advice on how the logistics of selling/purchasing on the same day works and I felt in very capable hands. I was moving us by myself as my partner needed to work, it was totally manageable - he came home to a new place already looking homely!


Simon then came and picked up the empty old boxes from us once we were unpacked.


All in all, a great service and a really competitive price. Would highly recommend.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
