Always use a company with experience and a good reputation to ensure that they will. If a survey has not been carried out, we will use the information that you have provided us with to calculate the size of van required. If you have been honest then it will still be our responsibility to get it right.

Try to avoid being given estimates by other companies as their final bill may be larger than you expected.
