You won't have the comfort of a big removals brand, but they can be just as reliable as long as you do some research. Make sure you check the following with them:

Questions for them

• How big is their van and can they carry your largest item?
• Will it take all of your belongings in one trip?
• If not, can they do more than one trip and is it included in the price?
• How many people will they supply to do the lifting and carrying?
• Can you travel in the van with them (for peace of mind and directions!)
• Are they insured (what happens if they break something)

Questions for you

• Have you arranged parking and access outside both moving addresses?
• Your belongings probably won't be insured during transit - you may want to organise separate insurance with your home insurer to be on the safe side
