Report
I ran Aspire last week, needing a huge, huge sofa moved from one house to another. They had a look at it on Tuesday, took it apart and picked up on Friday and delivered it to us in Argyll and put it together again, very well, the next day. I explained our requirements and what I was willing to pay and they were able to exceed all my expectations. A wonderfully reliable and friendly service provided too. Will absolutely lead to further requests in the near future.
