Recommendations required for removal firms


Jasmina

Recommended Posts

Hi,


Would appreciate any recommendations for good removal firms. Will be moving to Sussex to happy to consider non local firms too.


I can box up everything, but won't be able to dismantle beds / wardrobes, etc as will be juggling a toddler at same time.


I'll want the firm to have insurance and put together beds/wardrobes and install washing machine at the other end.


Thanks in advance.

Hi Jasmina


I would happily recommend Amber Moves. We used them twice in the past couple of years and they were excellent. They offer packing and/or unpacking and will do the dismantling etc. Nothing broke (in fact some of the stuff was so well packed it took AGES to unpack!), they were great guys, worked really hard and v polite (I had a newborn the second time).


pm me for further details if you're interested. I wouldn't say they will be the cheapest, but we thought we got value for money.

Hello Jasmina,

I was very satisfied with the boys from VP Removals, everything was going without any problems, moving,dismantling, assembling. It was obvious that they do this not the first time, and they do it with pleasure. I recommend VP Removals to everyone. Juliet Norman

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
