I would also heartily recommend VP removals (http://www.vpremovals.co.uk/) - we chose them after reading lots of glowing reviews on this site. We were delighted with Vitec and Peter who were very strong, quick, efficient, polite and extremely hard working. They kept up the pace even though it was extremely muggy and they had endless heavy boxes of books to carry down two flights of stairs! Our move was also relatively modest (a few large pieces of furniture, but mostly boxes) - and their service was ideal for our needs. Their hourly rate was so reasonable we paid them a 20% tip - the service was THAT good.
