Let me know if you paid for them to pack etc! Depending on value of items it might be worth calling a man and van outa the paper , try and get one with LWB (Long wheel base) and high roof where possible for easy loading. usually about £20 per hour, then pay a few local lads , that you know of course a tenna each and your sorted! thats the cheap option, as for the dear option best you could do is again ring out the papers specifically for removal firms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will cost about about £400 for a proper job and the packing will be £200 to £400 depending on what you want doing, give bev a ring at sbs 2574700....she might do you a deal.

banesmabes Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I paid £35 per hour for Merrills removals. They didn't do packing (but I wouldn't be interested in that anyway), but they did a good job. There were some access issues and the service included dismantling and re-building of a particularly large wardrobe. Took 5 hours for a flat to flat move, but as I say there were access and furniture issues that really slowed things down. They moved my mum and dad from a 3 bed house to a 2 bed house, and a much further distance, in 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat_1b Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I paid too much with Keetons, they quoted me one price, charged me more, so wasn't too happy. Just be careful, they sometimes say it'll be 4 hours and charge for 6, or did in my case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only give you an idea for how long it will take, as they don't know what access will be like, what traffic will be like, and what furniture you have. You can't really complain if it then takes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosh Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 sounds like merrills are the cheapest...just watch for any extra travelling charges....but they must have good staff to work so quick. In my experience i would get them to quote....then you know the worse case and you dont get suprises........i only like 2 of them!

Yellowrose Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Many of the quotes I had were £35 per hour for a removal van plus two men. There was a diesel cost per mile from some companies also. We have decided to rent a Luton Van with tail lift for £85 a day. Some places do them for £70 if you can move mid week.
