Just moved - we used Harradines

competitive quote and covered everything we needed. Make sure you negotiate what you need and dont leave anything to chase or last minute in terms of request (including loft which we forgot! -they backed it but I brought the stuff down)


Have to say these guys were very good - absolutely BLITZED a completely unpacked house like ours in a matter of hours. I mean we did NOTHING ...so it can be done. obviously its ideal if you organise a little as they just shove things in a box (nicely) - even the breakables. I could see they really knew what they were doing and packed well. They will also undo do things but not necessarily put it all back together at the other end. They did our desk and beds which was fab.



There is some good advice on another thread on using these sorts of movers. At the end of the day its all about how much time you have and how big your property (or rather -in our case -how much cr%p you have!!).


There is something to be said for not just letting them get on with it. they are the first to complain you are getting in their way and then say "well you didnt tell us not to/to pack this or that here or there"! We have a lot of "misclnce" or "odds" boxes - not great when looking for things! :(


so having a good idea about labelling and briefing them would be my advice especially if your new house has a slightly different layout. Anyway got the job done and money well spent.


Good luck

One further shout out for Robert & Denny's - they are very similar to Harradines (both v local). They moved us the last time (about 4-5 years ago) ...we had more stuff and Harradines gave more comprehensive package in the end (in terms of packing and price) this time.


But last time the guys did really fabulously and very hardworking (same story - no packing done beforehand!). there was even an issue with our chain and even though they were out by 12 or so we didnt get our keys until about 4:30pm but they waited (there is a theoretical threat to take your stuff to storage overnight) and even 'threw in' a couple of extra unpackers to get the job done.


Was very happy with them. In fact - just as i was leaving my old house - saw them pull up to move in the new guys!

Have raved about Janusz of JT Enterprises on here many times but we moved with them a year ago and they were superb. Wherever we move to next we will be using them, their speed, expertise, calmness, courtesy and care was second to none and their pack/move service literally saved our sanity over a period of two days when we weren't even sure we would be exchanging or completing (ended up doing both on the same moving day, within a few hours). Excellent, excellent team.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
