We have managed to find a flat in ED and now need a removals company.?


We would like to use a local company if possible in order to keep costs down.?


Its a pretty straightforward move except we need our furniture dismantled and reassembled at the new flat.?


Has anyone had an excellent experience they'd like to share??


Thanks,?

Hi,

when we moved from Brixton to ED nine years ago we used Harradines (SE15) and they were great. Reasonable costs and the two removal men were really helpful, even helping to clear the house we were moving into (it had been rented out and the landlord didn't want the furniture) when the clearance company let us down on the day. They took apart and rebuilt beds and wardrobes - i think this is pretty standard though.

good luck

Hi, I would recommend Elephant Removals and here are my reasons why, first of all I was quiet happy with the way they approached me, I never moved before and this was something a whole new experience for me.

The gentlemen over the phone were polite, do listen to your needs and give you the best advice.

At first I was worried but when the movers arrived, they knew exactly what to do and I did not need to hover on top of their heads to keep an eye on them.

Very polite, excellent understanding, good management, careful and most importantly friendly.

Highly recommended.


PS moved to ED

We used Bridges for our move in August and they were brilliant. Steve was easy to contact and really helpful. He dropped round boxes, bubble wrap, wrapping paper and tape before the move and on the day he and his team made the whole process smooth and hassle free. They took care to ask where all boxes etc went the other end too.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
