Question Time to ask the all knowing Zone!

[Bob Cratchitt]

I am about to move house and need to organise a few things, so i would like to ask fellow Zoners for recommendations.

1. Need a skip to clear out the garage and shed, anyone care to suggest a Skip hire company and what would the be price I would expect to pay for a weeks hire?

2. Which removal company would you recommend and if you have used one recently how much did they charge? So far have got two quotes in one at £500 and another for £850.

In the Zone We Trust.

Thanks

How far are you moving?

If it is local I'd rent a large van, get some boys in and do it myself.

Ask for skips why not use the quieter roads around Wakering and Barling?

I've used Jeakins in Laindon recently. Think it was around £450ish. Short distance (1 mile) - 3 blokes large lorry and all packing materials

A skip will be around 150 for a day or a week , but some places chase you up after a week

We used Galley's of Battlesbridge when we moved 8 years ago. They were excellent, can't remember how much we paid though...

I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'

....but if you are moving house you won't need to pay for it.

I used Lloyds of Essex (based in Ashingdon) in 2008, cost was about £500. I'd definitely use them again.

My parents have used galleys the last few times they've moved. Not sure on cost though

Yeah, someone else pointed that out. Apologies. My account was hacked, it's now deleted as I have a new email address.

Out of interest what are you selling?

Uppers, downers, barbs, screamers?

I suspect it's a different type of upper.

I would be tempted to hire Blueblood for the day. I suspect he would do you a nice cash price and even drive the van for you.

A new load of woof-woof I got from someone in Barking.
