An excellent company they did a great job on my sisters move. Didn't. Mind at all when they had to wait around to have a cooker disconnected. They were on time and well organised. I thoroughly recommend.

Thanks to Paul for keeping my sofa in storage for a number of months! When I collected it was in great condition and was the best price around! Would.
