A family-owned business with years of experience in the industry, Cornerstone Removals are a professional, passionate removals company based in Watford.
"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."

According to our data, July is the most popular time of year to move among our Oxford users. We found that in many parts of the country, summer months were most popular with home movers, most likely due to the longer, lighter days and better weather conditions. Also the summer months could be more favourable for young families as it would not interrupt the school year. In line with this, June and August tie as the second most popular time of year to move.
The least popular month proved to be January as there were no reported moves in Oxford among our users during this month. This is likely due to the fact that it is the month which follows the festive period, in addition to shorter, darker days and potential for bad weather which could impact or hinder a move.
The most popular day to move house in Oxford is on a Friday, with 25% of our Oxford users opting to move on this day. It’s likely that this is the most popular day among movers due to the fact that moving on a Friday will have minimal impact on the regular working week. It also allows movers to settle into their new home over the weekend. Saturday is the second most popular day to move house in Oxford, again with the weekend providing a good amount of time to move in and settle into the new property.
Sunday is the least popular day to move house among our Oxford home movers, with just 5% of our users opting to move at the end of the weekend. One factor to consider for Sunday moves is that many estate agents and conveyancing offices are closed on Sundays. This could mean disruptions or delays to your move if there is an issue. Moving on a Sunday could also disrupt the working week and school if children are part of the move.
