Moving company

adocholiday

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations for a moving company if anyone has any suggestions. I know there are a lot of companies out there but I'd always prefer a recommendation.

Looking to move from South Dublin to Wicklow, roughly a 60km journey. Haven't got a massive amount of stuff, I reckon 1 box lorry load would bring all we have. Not confident to drive one myself so hiring one isn't an option.

Many thanks

As a Landlord I regularly use MK Removals Blanchardstown. They also have a boxing and storage service which I used twice after tenants did a runner.
I cant say if they are good bad or indifferent, they were local to me at the time and did what was asked of them.

If you don't have much stuff, a big Sprinter 313 van can be hired for less than 100 a day and is as easy to drive as a car.

I used Allen Removals who were fine, but the truck was enormous.

After a lot of consideration this is what we did. Rented a van from Enterprise (use the Ikea refferal link) for about 50e/day and rented a storage space in U store.

Moved non essentials to storage a few weeks before moving day and direct moved the rest on the day.

Cost about 300e total compared to the 4-5k prices from companies (we were unsure if we could sell/buy/move on one day so those prices included storage).

GA Stevens in Bray are excellent

It looks especially large while barreling towards you on the wrong side of the road as the driver squeezes past a cyclist... :mad:

I'm in a similar dilemma and have a bad back so can't do the move myself. Have been getting quotes on any van.ie which seems to be like a contact base for lads with white vans countrywide. We have a 4 bed house and shed to move so probably 3 or 4 big van loads. We're only moving 5 miles down the road but quotes between 500 and 800 coming back for everything and me not having to lift a thing

We used DJ Hanleys a few years ago with a similar move. They have a storage unit just off the N11 at Newtownmountkennedy as well as providing a moving service. They were helpful and didn't destroy the bank.

My friends have 3-1/2 rooms of furniture that need to go from Laconia to Agawam, MA. Renting a truck and doing the work themselves is out of the question. What company do you recommend? Thanks!
