To avoid confusion, we have several properties in 3 countries. Last November, we moved from North London to the outskirts of Bristol into a flat on the 4th floor (no lift). I used a professional company who had their own trucks... Luton vans/packing/blankets etc and breakages were insured. All of that was included.
Everything was moved in one day. They did the packing and unpacking, with reassembling of furniture. Nothing was scratched or damaged.
The Costs: £1000 paid in cash. The quote was for 8 hours including mileage. I had a discount of 10% for paying in cash, well it all helps. Anything over 8 hours, the costs start to escalate. I explained to the 2 movers if that happened, they would not get so much in tips. They worked through lunch and I was able to tip them £50 each. They were happy.
