Removals - South West Area
We went to Sandown at the weekend to chat up some removal firms only to be told by the majority that it would cost us an arm and a leg to move from Devon as most companies are serviced from either London or Birmingham areas 
Bu**er!! 
Anyone previously down this neck of the woods able to recommend a removal company please??

Re: Removals - South West Area
Hi Rooksie, we're in Weston super Mare and the local 'crew' here are Nightingales, a family firm based here and I think Bristol/Gloucester
http://www.nightingaleremovals.com/worldwide.htm or use Thomweb (thompson directory)
They quoted us £3999 for 20ft container to Adelaide with their premium export service, Ithink they clean your house or something after they pack up
