    Hi,

    Am moving into an apartment next month and looking for a removal firm to help me move. Any recommendations on good firms and any firms I should avoid.

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you moving your own stuff or an entire apartment worth of stuff?

    Not sure where you're based, but I used a company called Davick, based up near Lusk on the N1. Found them excellent. The sister has used them too, she recommended them to me.

    I helped him with a Wicklow to Glasgow move and I can vouch for a good quality, professional service at a competitive price

    What kind of a figure would you be looking at to move a 2 bedroom house?
    i.e 2 beds, sofa, kitchen table, basic furniture etc

    Just to bump this up I will soon be looking for a removals firm. Adam's Removals seems to have ehhh, disappeared. I'm not sure a transit will meet my needs as I'm looking for a one trip deal to take a bed, 3-piece suite, armchairs, kitchen table and chairs, old Sony TV and stand and lots of storage boxes so I reckon I need a big truck. I am moving from Dublin to either Cavan, Meath, Westmeath, Louth, Kildare or Laois.

    Thanks.

    I moved some sofas recently and used www.anyvan.ie You just enter the details of the job and then van drivers come and quote you. You can also read feedback on the drivers from previous customers which is handy.

    Thanks for that. I got a quote based on an estimate of what I have to move; I'd prefer someone to come out and have a look and get something definite in case I missed a few things but as you say if they do that then that is grand.

    Have you checked Aaltonen? Cork-based, but do national/international moves.
