Recommendation for Smile Moves removal company

[gracemolly]

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.
