Apart from the usual Pickfords etc regulars.. anyone know of a sort of father & son type firm that may be a bit cheaper? The 1 toughy is an upright piano; other than that usual clobber. Not moving too far either.

We've used Clark's of Amersham twice now. They weren't the cheapest quote, and not the most expensive, but have been 100% reliable. Some friends have also had similar good service from them.

When I moved (some years ago) we used Camp Hopson for Newbury. They were not the cheapest, but cheaper than most, and they guys doing the move were amazingly energetic, and if it weren't nailed down, it went in the back of the van. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

In High Wycombe there is a firm called 'G J Howland and Sons'. They are a genuine Father and Son outfit (I went to School with the Son) and they are Piano specialists. 01494 712228.

Did that last time, a couple of years ago.. one of them still hasnt recovered he reckons! Took 3 of us to do the piano, and about half a day & if this move goes ahead it'll be a single day jobby.. great fun

..if it all goes through..

We found that a small cold wonky semi in Stoke Row with slugs in the kitchen (shhhhh..)= a nice big detached warm house with a big garage in Tilehurst, 50 yards away from the British Legion so will save a small fortune on a Saturday night too. We were bit concerened about traffic & noise, but it's the far end of a no through road & in fact seems a fair bit quiter than our current 'peaceful' rural spot. Tut. It also seems far away from the bits i gather its good to be far away from (did a graffiti walk around & nothing to speak of). Also... this is a very good bit for me.. means I should have some toy money after the dust settles. Am thinking V8, obv.
