Making the move
Working from home full-time, Marilyn’s daughter, Grace, needed more room. In fact, a whole extra room to transform into a home office.
“She realised she could work from home from anywhere. She decided to come and be a bit closer to us and her friends near Bristol. Now she's in a two-bed house, and her second bedroom is her office.”
However, when it came to planning the move, Grace was unwell, which is when Marilyn jumped into action.
Finding a removal company
While looking at local companies herself, Marilyn soon found that some prices were far higher than expected.
“I was quite surprised when I started on this journey, that the quotes varied so much. I got a quote for £4,000 from one company. I immediately dismissed that because I thought for that I wanted them to move her, set everything up, and come and cook for her for two weeks!”
Searching for the perfect moving company to suit their needs, Marilyn found Konnect You, and one company stood out.
Gentleman’s Move visited the property beforehand to survey what was being moved, enabling them to provide an accurate and fair quote. Their pricing, communication, great reviews and attention to detail ensured they were the best match for the move.
"They had stunning reviews - that's why she got them over to give her a quote. They offered a very, very competitive quote. I think she had three people come out, and she just had a feeling about these people.”
How was the moving day?
The move took place on the hottest day of the year, and one of Gentleman’s Move’s team members was unable to work due to illness. Even so, Marilyn was amazed at how the two-person team rose to the challenge.
“They were very thoughtful and careful when moving, particularly the larger items going upstairs. They were careful of the paintwork and everything. I was very impressed with them. They had a fantastic work ethic, and they were very polite and respectful.”
Marilyn added that they worked “incredibly hard”, using sofa covers, plastic wrapping for the mattress, covers for the floor, and even dismantling the bed.
Marilyn’s husband added that the team didn’t grumble about the stairs or how far they had to carry items, despite the heatwave.
"Some things that my husband and I were struggling to move, they just picked up and put on their shoulder!”
Would you recommend Konnect You to others?
Marilyn said she would not have found such a reliable removal company without Konnect You. She also paid significantly less than some of the other prices she had received.
When asked if she would recommend Konnect You, Marilyn gave a resounding ‘absolutely, yes’.”
“It was a good site for us. It gave us what we needed. We found a company that we were extremely happy with.”
