We chose Lomar on price and local/neighborhood recommendation. We packed ourselves but Lomar supplied boxes and paper. They collected on Friday, sending a small van on Monday morning for the few bits and pieces left. They arrived in Scotland 11ish Tuesday Morning to unload. All the team were polite, professional, caring and friendly. We would recommend them/use them again.
