AVOID - SCAMMERS

Buying a home is “one of life's most stressful experiences” so of course I took the time to check out suitable companies, paid extra for the premium service to ensure I had adequate insurance cover (up to £100K), checked company reviews and checked that they were members of National guild of removers and regulated by the Insurance ombudsman. Cornerstone were far from our cheapest quote, in fact we paid a total of £2174.00.

Where to start, the whole process was awful, on the day of the move, 3 men turned up late and started to remove our goods with little care, the walls were damaged, and floors and goods not covered. Once our goods were thrown in the van the removals cornered me aggressively to say there was too much, they were told only 2 beds instead of 3, although the quote clearly stated 3, I felt vulnerable and concerned that they wouldn’t deliver at the new property, I informed them that I paid good money and they stated they only received £600 as sub-contractors, I told them to take it up with cornerstone.

At this point I was quite shaky and called cornerstone to express my concern for the behaviour and concern for potential damage, I was reassured that the insurance would cover any damage and given an apology for the experience.

Things didn’t improve the other side, our new home was treated with complete disrespect and furniture just thrown in a heap, boxes dropped, walls gouged.

Within 5 days I made my claim and whilst the National guild of removers would state I should receive a response within 7 working days, it took 22 working days, despite much chasing. The response was the job sheet I signed on the day to get these people out of my home was in fact an insurance waiver, I didn’t have glasses on to read the small print and was still quite shaken, why would I pay for extra insurance to waive my right to it, this is fraudulent and should be made clear – so beware, I have seen other hidden reviews since and would appear I am not alone!!! I have since taken up with Cornerstone and the staff have never been made aware of the waiver so are unintentionally mis-informing customers – BEWARE!!

Long-distance move from Kent to Greater London

Absolutely Shocking Service

Initially we thought Cornerstone were great, until we went back to the storage unit and found multiple broken items, missing items and our items stuffed one on top of each other. A sofa was put on top of a mattress, a one of a kind bespoke chair was placed upside down on a box and items were chucked into it like it was a skip. If you want your items to be at risk, use Cornerstone.

I then raised this to them, and all they can do is argue. The Customer is not believed and they will believe their team took care of everything properly when the evidence of how they packed the storage unit was very clear. I would stay far away from them and instead use a local or approved removal company who will take more care of your things.

SCAM COMPANY not a member of the British Association of Removers!!

SCAM COMPANY! THEY ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE BAR (British Association of Removers) STAY AWAY!

I was sold a scam, a "care package" and 50k insurance if any damage occurred. I needed to move a large Arcade Machine, the main reason I looked for a professional removal company. What turned up was 3 Eastern European guys in a van with no lifting equipment, the van didn't have a tail lift and they had no blankets to cover my furniture.

My arcade machine was dropped down the stairs and could have killed the guy underneath it. His arms were badly hurt and he was out of action all day.

Most of my walls have marks all over them, my kitchen floor was left with a hole in it. My new fridge freezer has damage marks, my dishwasher needed repairing and the items were literally dumped around the house (see photos) I paid for the dismantle and assemble service, but after the shambles my wardrobe was "assembled" in, and after being told it wasn't their skills it was my floorboards,I had enough and asked them to leave. I spent 2 full days fixing things that they left in their destructive path.

They drank bottles of energy drink and threw them on my home floor and left cigarette ends and lunch waste outside my front door.

I was forced to leave a good review immediately while they were lingering around me.

Jack the manager will sweet talk you that all will be repaired. Then you have to deal with the insurance team, well I was told she was the best Denisa is her name, so far after over 1 month, I have received 1 email stating she's looking into my claim and will be in touch. Well, that was 9 days ago now. Nothing. So I'm now warning anybody thinking of using this company to go with a BAR registered one and not this joke of a company. I paid £1.5k thinking I was getting a professional company. This is FAR from that in all aspects.

Long-distance move from Basildon, Essex to Braintree, Essex

WORST MOVE EVER

This is probably the most unprofessional company that I have every dealt with.

They were meant to turn up between 7.30 and 8.00 am but never did ,I then had to call them , and honestly I don't think they had me booked in . So they turned up at 9.25am .I paid for them to dismantle my furniture and rebuild in my new home but they didn't have any tools with them.

Once at the house they then bent my recliner settee and as they didn't have any tools they couldn't get my arm chair in the house so in the end they just left it in my garage, which is still there. I had my friend there helping me for the day and we ended up unloaded the lorry with the guys otherwise they would of been there all night .

I have complained to them and hoping for some kind of apology and some action with regards to my compliant .
