How to choose your furniture removals company:
Listen to your peers:

Compare the market:

Also, that old life rule applies here… You get what you pay for! When you’re talking about your precious belongings, cheapest is not always the best!
Have a cuppa:
When you’re getting your quotes, sit down and have a cup of tea with the person who is carrying out your house inspection. On these occasions, gut instinct can count for a lot. The removal team could be in your house for an extended period of time. You need to like their attitude and be assured that they will be professional, helpful and friendly.
