i'm moving out of my home of ten years(!) in august, from stoke newington to angel. Anyone have a man and van recommendation? Urban Camel guy seems to have gone off the grid :(

i moved recently and my friend recommended a man with van - he was good, helped me move, was quick, friendly, had a decent-sized van. happy to share his details. the only strange bit was when i asked how much he said "it is up to you".
i gave him a sum which was prob more towards the generous side but i'm sure you could arrange beforehand.

theyellowvancompany.com have served me well on multiple occasions
not tried vangirls.co.uk but probably worth considering if north

yeah that's kind of what happened me. a friend recommended him and he didn't do this with my friend. i guess it was about 90 minutes work very early on a saturday and i gave him £100. he did help with packing and unpacking so i kinda felt fair enough, the move was way quicker for his involvement.

tbf most of the people I've looked at are 2 hours minimum at ~£60/hour, so you didn't totally rip yourself off
