During the height of the floods in February, Damon Theobald, Removals Manager from Camp Hopson Removals in Newbury received a phone call from a customer in Eastbury who was in distress.

The river Lambourn had burst its banks and caused the whole of the street to flood. The customer feared that the water was going to enter her house and asked if he could urgently remove her furniture and effects from her house.

“I went down to estimate the goods to be removed and discovered how bad the situation was with the flood water at knee level whilst standing in the street outside of her house,” explained Damon.  “A representative from the council advised me that the weather was taking a turn for the worse and they were expecting the water levels to raise by at least 3 inches. With this in mind I contacted the office and we rallied all of our resources together to move the customer that afternoon, before the level rose further, and to avoid any damage to her belongings.”

Camp Hopson were able to complete the removal before the heavens opened yet again and keep everything safe.  The customer was delighted.
