Hi all!


We're shortly moving to Lincoln (in the East Midlands) and are finding the cost of movers extortionate. We only have furniture to fill a one bed flat and are willing to pack/unpack everything ourselves. Any ideas or suggestions on how to cut down costs? Or does anyone know the cheapest company to use?


Thanks!

If you can't drive or don't want to rent a self-drive van as suggested, try Little Green Van & Man, they provided a very good, friendly service a few years back, cost was competitive at the time, ideal for smallish loads... https://lgvanman.com/
Three years ago I moved house and I used VP Removals. Vitek and Peter were brilliant. Very careful, brought loads of bubble wrap for fragile items, friendly and did not charge much. I recommended them to a friend who was moving out of London and she was very positive about them too.
If cost is the main factor you could try NDR Removals or Mister Bee, both of which would be about ?450 for a 3.5t mwb Luton + 2 men. I'm moving soon and used a number of comparison sites, which is a good source if cost is the main factor for you, though in the end I went with a better-known name.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
