All my belongings lost in a storage…no recompense

All my belongings lost in a storage fire. Beware Alan Cooke. Cause arson no payment, negligence denied, fire and risk assessments audits denied. All concern for customers on Facebook page removed. I trusted this company. Fighting for at least a refund of removal and storage costs.

We are, of course, sincerely sorry that you lost your personal effects in the fire and that the actions of one individual have caused distress to so many. This matter is being handled by the insurers, who we understand have been working with you directly throughout.

We regret the impact this incident has had and apologise again for the distress this has caused.

Moving with Britannia

All began well with a visit from Chris to estimate the requirements for our move.
A quotation duly arrived which was clear and speedily reworked when our requirements suddenly changed.
The methodical approach the removal team adopted, room by room, allowed us to clean the house as rooms were cleared. A clear plan as to where things would go at the destination helped with moving in at the new location.
Beds were disassembled and reassembled at the other end (good job we had some tools to hand!) which was much appreciated.
The guys, Terry & Tom on the first day (did the packing up), Terry, Tom & Sam did the delivery and unpacking at the destination were stoical and did a great job.
Shirley, in the office, checked in to see that things were going according to plan and when a problem arose with our completion she was able to offer some flexible options.
Boxes to be collected, next week.
All in all a great team and Britannia’s involvement in our move was the best bit!

Moving across country.

Our move was somewhat complicated as we were moving from North Norfolk to Lancashire.

This required that the furniture needed to be stored for a day before its onward travel to the destination.
We did see quotes from more than one removal firm but can honestly say that Alan Cook was by far offered a complete service at a competitive price. The removal Men did an exceptional job both in terms of packing and loading goes in North Norfolk and unpacking goes in Lancashire. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone

Head office charge premium rate call to contact them

Called head office number as advertised in order to get a quote. Called three times on the same number. Later found out that the calls had cost me £8.91 as they use a premium number. Spoke with local office to complain. They stated that they would contact head office to complain on my behalf and informed me that they did not know that using this number incurred high fees. Waited two weeks and have had no response from local office or head office. Ripped off for requesting a quote !!! Beware. Do not use the number advertised 0845 6006661. How are you supposed to know what number to use for your local branch ???

Good afternoon,

As previously mentioned, we are your local branch, and we do not charge for calls. We have attempted to contact you again today.

The 0845 number you called connects to a switchboard, which directs you to your local branch.

We would like to reassure you that calling our local number is free of charge.

Removal went very well but left with 80 boxes

Removal went very well. Staff very helpful and efficient on the day. The one thing I am not happy about is that it looks very likely I will have to recycle the boxes myself there are approximately 80 taking up room in my garage. The branch that I am now under said they are not planing to come to my area at present and I may have to recycle myself , I am not physically able to deal with all these boxes.

Mrs Lyons,

Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that your removal went smoothly and hope that you're settling into your new home.

We completely understand your concern regarding the collection of boxes. While we always recommend contacting your local branch to arrange collection where possible, unfortunately, we’re unable to guarantee that this service can be provided in every area. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Do not use Alan Cook Loddon, only at your peril. be warned

Do not use Alan Cook Loddon. I would give them less than 1 star if I could. When they screw up, they then make it your problem, and it’s cover up cover up cover up by management. There is not one shred of decency in any of them, and they treat their repeat customers in exactly the same way. I would especially like to mention the Directors , of this large company, who have no problem, boasting on their page , that they are 100 percent transparent with their customers, and that you can expect assurance from them. Well Pinocchio has nothing to worry about, as Management will ignore you, along with the rest of them, and not answer your complaints, once they have your money. Don’t say we did not warn you. Use them at your peril.

Dear Mrs B,

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way, particularly as we’ve successfully completed several previous moves for you without any issues. However, the matter you’re referring to relates to storage and delivery services carried out by another company under a separate contract with yourself, not to the services provided by us.

As this matter is currently before the court, we’re unable to comment further until the case has been finalised. Once it has, we will of course, follow any directions or requirements that arise.

We always aim to act fairly, transparently and in the best interests of all our customers.

They were brilliant from beginning to end!

We had 5 companies in to quote us for our relocation down south. I immediately took to Chris from Britannia - Harrison and Rowley and the professionalism and warmth he showed was just want we needed, being a difficult decision to leave the home we loved. Moving forward and choosing Britannia to move us, I had quite a few conversations with Ross, the general manager who was helpful and always stayed in touch leading to our move. We were told it would be a two day move. We had a phone call a day early and were advised the guys who were loading, moving & unloading us had finished a job early and were able to start a day earlier if that suited us. This turned out to be the best idea & worked in our favour. The lads started Wednesday afternoon, and didn’t stop until 6pm ish. They slept in the cab outside the house & were up at 8am to continue! They worked so hard!!! They didn’t stop! They made the 2 hour drive to the south coast, in one huge lorry & a smaller lorry & started unloading the garden stuff before we arrived as we were slightly behind and collecting the keys. They handled everything with care & asked what we wanted where. The lads went above and beyond & even re moved furniture to other rooms after we’d changed our minds! They were polite, professional & personable & we had a really nice couple of days with them, we had fun! One was called Ollie, however I cannot remember the other name for the life of me, I’m sorry!! It didn’t turn out to be Harrison and Rowley, but we’re crew from ‘Britannia - ‘Alan cook’, from the Norfolk branch! I just wanted to thank you all so much, not only were you very competitive in pricing but couldn’t fault them in any other way! We are really happy in our new home & would be really appreciative to pass our gratitude to the guys who did the physical move! Danie, Stu & our dog Margo (who joined us a day later after being with her nanny and grandad) many thanks again! Xx

PROFESSIONAL THROUGHOUT

We were delighted with the level of service offered by Britannia Movers. The whole process (initial survey through to the actual move) was seamless and professional throughout. On the day, the team were incredibly courteous and they worked tirelessly to meet our needs. All items were carried carefully and nothing was too heavy or difficult! The highest compliment we can pay is, “they made it look easy’. We had absolutely no experience of this company prior to our move, but we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

A truly brilliant service … !!!!!

A truly brilliant service from the very first enquiry telephone call, to receiving a prompt refund on the collection of packing boxes for recycling. I would highly recommend Britannia for their professional, friendly and efficient service. The removal staff worked like trojans on the day of our move. We were fully packed and ready to go by 11am and unpacked by 2pm. Nothing was too much trouble and there were zero breakages/ damage. Thank you so much to Britannia for making our already stressful move easier, we are very grateful and wouldn’t use anyone else!
