removal company recommendations and advice

Hello Maxie. Well, it depends on what kind of budget you have for your move. Naturally if you pack everything on your own and just call a man with a van you'd save some money. However I too recommend you hire a company which does packing and not just moving. They know what they're doing and have special boxes for items of all sizes. Plus they can pack your home a lot faster than you can. For my last move in Dulwich I called Best Move and they saved me a great deal of nerves by both packing and transporting all my belongings.

Good luck with your move!

I just moved using Superb Moves www.superb-moves.co.uk


Chris and the team did a great job from the initial visit to assess my move to delivering the final box.


The team arrived on time and worked tirelessly to pack all my belongings with great care and attention - there wasn't one broken glass or cracked plate which I'm sure wouldn't have been the case if I'd done it myself! Large pieces of furniture were wrapped and moved carefully, even taking a door off its hinges at one point to ensure nothing was scratched. Finally, they made the dis-assembly and reassembly of large wardrobes and beds look easy. Nothing was too much trouble, even moving heaving pieces of furniture between rooms as I changed my mind on where things should go.


I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and the team at Superb Moves.


Best of luck with your move!

Hello Maxie,

Not sure if this is still relevant but we moved just before Christmas and went will Parkers Removals. They were friendly, polite and efficient. They provided an excellent service and even helped us to assemble some of our furniture. The number is 07415719824

You can surely find a company that could do the packing and moving of your furniture expertly and in a fast manner. Hence, it?s really a good idea to hire a removal company. I advise that you should get free removal quotes first before hiring one. This will help you locate a removal company UK that provides cheap but quality removal services.

Hello


I moved a couple of weeks ago between two houses in ED. I used Harradines - used their full packing service, disassembly and reassembly etc. totally worth out - no stress at all. They did everything. Affordable, professional and efficient. Very good service. Highly recommend.

Hi Willow,


We are a removal company based in East Dulwich. I would be happy to view your job, make an assessment and send you a quotation accordingly.

Hi, I used VP removals (Vitek and Peter) after reading a good review about them on here... I got quotes from about 6 other companies and theirs was by far the cheapest, and they were very friendly.

They were very reliable and dead on time for coming round for the quotation, arriving for the packing (on the 15th December) and arriving for packing and transporting and unpacking, and reassembling wardrobes etc on the 16th...

I am pregnant and single and they worked solidly for around 18 hours on the 2 days without even stopping for lunch. They provided 2 vans and loaded the first one the day before....they were very honest and trustworthy and helped to ease the stress after nearly 20 years of living in London.

I would NOT hesitate in recommending them !

Hi, I have moved this week. I got several quotations - VP Removals were the cheapest so I chose them. My sofabed and bookcase were too big to go through the doorway so they removed the door, dismantled sofabed and bookcase and built them again in the flat then put the door back on. All done quickly and calmly and patiently. Extremely professional. They are also very friendly and made the whole moving process much more pleasant. I totally recommend them.

We used VP removals after recommendations on the forum and they were great and exactly as described, polite, effective, efficient and excellent value. I had to add to the job I'd described on the day, and the address we were dropping off at was down a much narrower lane than I had realised, and they were unphased by the changes or the challenging circumstances. Great chaps, would highly recommend.

We are just sitting in our new house after moving today and thanking Providence for VP Removals - they were AMAZING. Turned up bang on time. Found a parking space like magic. Calm, friendly and kind (I was a bit stressed and they made me feel so much better). Nice to the cats. Packed up 14 years of life with no fuss. All boxes clearly and helpfully labelled. Not a single breakage. Consistently nice, never even raised an eyebrow when I was overwhelmed and didn't know where things went. Everything transported to our new house in a twinkle of an eye, used their initiative and are possibly telepathic.


after they'd gone, we realised we didn't know where my partner's MacBook was. Panicked. Rang them just in case they knew...thought they would say "we packed over a hundred boxes for you today - we have no idea" - but Vitek rang back to say he remembered AND REMEMBERED which box it was! Astonishing.


Absolutely excellent service and very reasonably priced. We are very grateful.

A glowing recommendation for Chris with Superb Moves. I loved these guys. Chris was fantastic from the beginning, giving us a highly competitive estimate and was flexible with our timeline when our move date had to change. He and his team showed up promptly both days with smiles on their faces, ready to tackle anything. They never complained, they got on with the job and they moved everything in absolutely perfect condition. I would use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking team. Thank you, Chris!

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
