Where can I find a reliable 'Man with a Van' to help me move?

Question

Moving from Shephards Bush to Ealing and need some help! I'm looking for a 'Man with a Van' that I know I can trust. Been looking around online and I'm either finding expensive companies or dodge ads on Gumtree!

Moving really sucks and I'm sure some of you have done some mad treks. If you have and can help me by suggestings some places where I can find some help, then you'd be a life saver!

I'm looking to hire this Friday, in the late morning. If it was a Transit van, I think it would be one trip.

Wish me luck!

Answer 10

look it up on the internet under moving vans

Answer 11

Be careful, I had a cheque stolen by some movers and they forged it and cashed it for a big amount. Fortunetly my bank helped me get it back. I suggest taping up all your boxes so you can easily see if they have been opened or tampered with! I guess thats what I get for going for the cheapest!

-Good luck with your move

Answer 12

Answer 13
