mrmist   10 #37 Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks boosh I did ring SBS but they just quoted an hourly rate of £55/hour (+vat). I got the impression that they dont do individual quotes, just a flat hourly rate   They will quote if you ask them. They quoted for us. We didn't choose them in the end, but the quote was reasonably competative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
H.P Â Â 10 #38 Posted November 30, 2007 We used S.B.S when we moved in the end, Greens gave our booking to someone else. Got to say that the lads who came were brill, can not sing thier praises enough. We were all done and dusted by 2 p.m. Did not work out too bad price wise, And the way they manouverd the huge van down a very narrow double parked road at Walkley was nothing short of a miracle. cheers lads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bluecanary   13 #40 Posted December 6, 2007 We moved recently and after phoning around for a few quotes, ended up going with Speights. I would definitely recommend them - they turned up on time and seemed generally very professional. They charge either by the hour or do a flat day rate (it's probably best to go with the latter if you're in a chain). Good luck with your move!

Good luck with your move!  We had speights too for our move and well they were really spot on to be honest. The chap came out before and gave us a quote based on what we had in the house which was competative and was for 3 people. They worked at it like troopers all day with all our stupid boxes, and by the end of the day we had 6 men on. All that and they even took our wardrobe apart and re-assembled it 'cos it wouldn't fit up the stairs. Well impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

absynthfairy   10 #44 Posted December 14, 2007 Hiya...  Me and my house mate are needing to move house in the very early new year from the new middlewood estate to the new strata development in Kiveton Park. We'll be moving to separate properties but they are next door to eachother (a first floor flat and a house). We have quite a lot of furniture but not silly amounts...should all fit in one lorry - or a couple of runs in a big van.  Could anybody recommend a firm? Or are you a firm that could help? Thinking 2nd,3rd,4th Jan - we're teachers so it needs to be that week whilst still on holiday.  Please PM me or reply here.  Thanks,  Joanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nigelsms   10 #46 Posted December 21, 2007 Hi Good to hear mostly good feed back about removal companies, I own Specialised Movers one of the largest removers along side SBS, You will find you get what you pay for when moving and would always sugest you get a fixed Price quotation from A B.A.R member, would you get in a black cab with a meter to go to London or would you agree a price ?  Good luck to everyone for Christmas and have a Happy New Year, and yes SBS are a good company!

Wayneos   10 #47 Posted December 29, 2007 Hi, I would have to say the lads @ SBS seem top lads, met a few when we have been moving out & they have been moving in. Pickfords are also a very good company, the army use them when posting the regiments and they are very good at what they do, but then they are the major league players so you get what you pay for.
