Never used them before. How much am I looking at ball park for a medium sized 3 bed house/flat.
Removal men cost

We paid about 450 for the move and about another 300 for then to pack the house up. I was surprised the packing service was so cheap and I’d definitely recommend it, takes a lot of the stress out of moving.

Get a quote online. You can enter the property details so they can measure distance, I did it when I moved a few years ago and the estimate was pretty close to the agreed price once I'd followed it up.

Do they not insist on packing? So they can't be held responsible for any damage they didn't do?

How far was moce and how much was it?

Hire a van and do it yourself with some mates. 75 quid van hire 100 quid for beers and Chinese after the move is done.

There’s a flaw in your plan.

About 5 miles and we paid about 700 quid if memory serves. That was from and to 4 bed houses which was another factor in their costs. This was in the NE, though.

Not a f***ing chance.

I asked the removal men to take extra care with my furniture when we moved. I love my furniture.
Me and my recliner go way back.

I'm thinking 1500 to 2k.its about 6 miles away. Appliances are staying so heavy shit is table and beds basically.

Why not I've done it this way before and it works out great.

My mate did that years ago, I was one of the mates who helped him move. We all agreed afterwards it wasnt worth the fuck on.

I did it before and we almost broke most of my furniture. At least removal men know what they're doing.

Seems like a reasonable estimate based on your location.
I used the same company from Whickham for two similar sized moves recently after getting a few quotes. I’d guess £300 for your job. Couldn’t speak highly enough of them.
EDIT - just seen you’re in London, ignore

I was one of the mates, along with one more, and he hadn’t been driving long enough so I drove his van too
Think it was a half day van hire 15 years ago so £20/25. Plan was ‘a few pints’ afterwards so wasn’t even going to cost him the Chinese
Had to get the van back, so he offered to buy us pints ‘next time’
Haven’t seen him since

That seems an awful lot that mind even for London. The distance doesn’t make a huge difference if it’s relatively local as the majority of the time is spent loading and unloading the van.

We moved recently (also a 3 bed semi) and the quotes I got varied quite a bit from the £400 mark up to £700. Thought fuck that and hired a van for £70 and done it ourselves with me dad.
