Hi we have just bought a house in Los Gallardos. We have priced various pieces of garden furniture, but they seem to be very expensive. Does anybody have any info re removal / transport companies that may help bringing items from uk 

Kind regards Ian and jan

Welcome to Los Gallardos, we love it there and will be back in 10 days time. Jimbo the Scot - http://jimbothescot.com/ - always seems to get good reviews. You might also want to call Andy at https://meandmrsjonestransport.co.uk/- they bring out furniture and bedding from the UK but will also bring items for others.

Hi from Mojacar Playa,

Rob has already listed the 2 Companies we would recommend although we would have reversed the order. Andy & Cheryl are really wonderful individuals who bring us items from UK almost on a monthly basis. If you are able to buy on line and have items delivered FOC to their Folkestone address they are unbeatable.

Tel. 0044 7850 840288 or consult their www for Transport & furniture. The latter is exceptional VALUE FOR MONEY.

Best Wishes,

Dr. Bob and Sandra

Hi,

We bought a property last year in Los Gallardos and we used a company called Movers International. The guy to contact is called James Moss. They are based in Preston but will travel. They were outstanding! We moved about 40 boxes,  a washing machine, large and heavy kitchen table and chairs and some garden furniture. They collected it all on the agreed date and time, boxed up some small items and took it to Preston. They have a warehouse in Alicante, so delivered it to Spain at their convenience and  then they delivered it to our house, the day before we flew out ( our builder took delivery). All items were intact! All for £800. For the same service we were quoted £3000 from one of the removers named in this thread! Really great service!

Hi Paul,

Not sure if my first reply posted so sending you it a 2nd time just in case!

+44 1772 651570 This is the number I have lifted from their website- I mostly corresponded by email. But speak to James, a very affable and helpful chap.

Regards

Lynn

On the Antas trading estate there is a shop called EMBARGOS.They usually have a good selection of outdoor furniture at a reasonable rate.Mostly bankrupt stock,I think.
