Moving house soon, so I thought I'd get a quote from a removal company and it was £500!!

I live in a smallish 3 bed house and am moving approx 2 miles, does this seem a lot or is this much normal?? (Always moved myself before, but now have all of Clare's stuff so need BIG lorry)

 

Anyone know of any reliable & cheap removal companies?

just rent a van and impose on all of your friends to help - its always worked for me :dance:

Yeah I would, but they don't make vans big enough, and we've gotta move on a weekday and most of my mates are contractors!!

Seconded

Thats actually pretty cheap, paid £600 to go from one side of basingstoke to the other! (3 bed house)

 

One of the removal chaps only had one arm, cant believe I didnt spot that when he came over to do the quote (honest I missed it!!!) I would have thought it would be a hinderance in that kind of work but apparently not, fook me could he lift some heavy crap with one arm!!! :shock:

:eek:

WTF are you moving???

Grand piano and four poster bed?

 

cut em into smaller pieces ;)

£500 is a good price! I got quoted over a grand to move out of a 2 bed flat! Ended up paying about £700 cash. The best thing for me was that all the stuff was insured for accidental damage. You don't get that when two of your mates drop your widescreen TV... :eek:

I got a good deal- £400 to move 1 mile- the geeza had a ford cargo loaded and a trany luton in one trip- 2 other bods- loaded in 2 hours- unloaded in one- less their fuel and stuff, they were on about £40 an hour each- good money eh!
