Cornerstone Removals
4 Longcliffe Path, Watford, WD19 7PH
A family-owned business with years of experience in the industry, Cornerstone Removals are a professional, passionate removals company based in Watford.
based on 42 reviews"I like that Cornerstone is quick in sending me a detailed quotation and the account manager was in constant communication over the phone to verify details and update me on the available dates (I only gave a tentative date and was shopping around). However, I was a bit irritated that I went through 4 AMs and had to recap my conversation with the last and repeat my move details over and over again. 1 day before my move, the AM told me that an extra cost was missing from the quote and she would get back to me but never did... On the moving day, the crew came on time and the 3 guys were friendly and efficient but there wasn't enough space in the vans for everything and partial packing couldn't be done... and the AM knew about it. When we arrived at the destination, the AM called to demand the remaining balance from the original quote without deducting the packing cost. At that point, I lost my temper but still paid the requested amount, or else the movers won't start working. Moving is a stressful process and I wished the AM could have been more sympathetic. The difference was refunded to me in 3 days. I would say my experience started good but ended on a sour note."

based on 53 reviews"Absolutely fantastic. I shopped around and got quotes from 6 companies. TDS were the cheapest but promised the same exact service as companies that wanted to charge me up to 750 more. I had a good feeling but was preparing myself for perhaps a more basic, even rough around the edges service. I was wrong. They were incredible - professional, courteous, fast, all packing materials were of the highest standard and they were patient with my requests. They also used crates which I preferred to boxes. I cannot rate them highly enough. Next time i move I will simply choose TDS."

What is The Best Time of Year To Move in Croydon?
When researching, we found that the best time of year to move in Croydon was over the summer period. According to our data, the most popular month for a house move within the area was August with over 12%, closely followed by July and September. With less chance of rain and longer, warmer days, it’s no wonder home movers often prefer to complete their move during these months.
In addition to being the best time of year for the removal itself, summer is also a cost-effective time to move into your new home as the lighter and warmer evenings can sometimes contribute to lower gas and electric bills. At an expensive time such as buying and moving to a new house, this can be highly beneficial.
In contrast, the least popular time of year to move was winter, with the fewest amount of moves taking place in January and February. Our data saw only 6% of removals being booked for January, with many movers not wanting to follow the hectic festive period with moving chaos.
What is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Croydon?
The best day of the week to move within Croydon was Friday according to our unique data, with over 25% of users moving house on the last day of the week. A Friday move often means you have the whole weekend to unpack and settle in, so it’s no surprise that this proved to be the most popular day for a house move.
Our data also discovered that Sunday was the least popular day for moving house, with just 6.5% choosing this day. This is not surprising as many estate agents and conveyancing offices are closed on Sundays, which could mean further delays if you need to contact either of them on the day the move. With fewer chances of communicating, you could completely halt the process for all parties involved in the property chain.
Most Popular Locations for Croydon Movers?
Looking to move out of Croydon? Our research showed that many users were considering moving out of the borough in 2020, with 4 particular locations coming out on top as an alternative. Rest assured, our removal partners can cater to all types of requirements, whether you request a local or long-distance move.
The most popular area to move to from Croydon was Central London with just under 11% of the overall percentage. However, with the average property price at £496,269, it’s not surprising that there are a number of more affordable areas that also gained popularity. The top 4 areas also included Purley, Coulsdon and Caterham.
To help with your research, we've taken data from the property website, rightmove, including the average sold house prices from 2020.
