| I would steer well clear of DIY removals,if you have any amount
of furniture.I did just that on my last move;I ended up spending
out only 40.00 pounds less than the removal company,& I was
thouroughly exhausted by the end of the day,which lasted 13 hours.
PS:leave it to the experts

| If you are planning to DIY, plan to have a few "men" (this isn't
supposed to be sexist, I really mean men) to help out. I did it
once with three friends and we were all kn***ed at the end of the
day.
Last time I moved, I used CANTAY (I believe DEC use them too sometimes)
and they were very good.

If you DIY , bare in mind that your property is not insured while
you move , so if you drop the telly or the bone china dinner service
then tough titty .

I have just moved house and I used ECONOMOVE, they are based in
Basingstoke and are a family buisness. They were very good and cheap.
Cant remember their number, bit I got it from the yellow pages.

| I moved down here March '87 and found Pickfords were excellent. They
were one of the dearer firms (not to me, I was relocating :-) but
the quality of service was excellent. Worth a phone call at least.

| I agree with -1. about Pickfords. Expensive but V. Good and they
were able to do it when other smaller companies were booked up.
