We recently moved and Sarah helped us again - we've used her in every one of our four moves since buying our first house in 2005. She has never let us down, and always delivered for us - no fuss, always there, gets the job done, knows her stuff, works weekends to turn things around for us, always polite, what more can I say? We wish her nothing but the very best of success and cannot thank her enough if truth be told. You're an absolute star Sarah!

Called for a quote. No answer. Got a call back from a mobile number from someone who quite abruptly told me they were not taking on any more work.
