Good job
I didn't see the operatives today, as my pick up was already in the front garden, however, they were here in the allotted time, and left my garden tidy.
The whole job from inquiry to pick up was very swift.

The crew turned up on time and removed the sofa with minimum fuss. I think the service is good value at £70, and hopefully the sofa will be disposed of/repurposed in the correct way.

Exceptional Customer Services
I called the Service Store and spoke to Jadelle, who has exceptional customer service skills. She assisted me in reporting an issue. After listening to me, she promised to call me back to resolve the issue. She made arrangements for Syed to deal with the situation, and he came out and resolved the problem he was very professional and did a great job. He is an asset to the Service Store.

White goods collection
I scored 1 star because the item was not collected on 9/5/25 am as agreed. I sent an email but there was no response and no phone call. I checked on the website for the progress of my request and the status said open and the action:escalated. The fridge freezer left in the front garden upright has now been turned on its side with some parts removed by someone..

Hi MISS GLORIA KANKAM, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We understand how frustrating this must have been.
Unfortunately, due to a system error, your collection was missed on 9/5/25 as scheduled. Our team member has since attempted to contact you by phone and left a voicemail. We have now scheduled the collection for tomorrow, and you should have received an email confirming the new details.
Your satisfaction is important to us, and we’re doing everything we can to make this right.
Thank you for your patience, and we appreciate the opportunity to resolve this.
Happy Customer
I scored one point lower as the booking process and getting a quote took long (4 weeks). It was worth the wait as on the 8/5/25 Keiran and Florence mowed the grass, cleared the weeds and my garden (old garden furniture and shed) really quickly. They were very respectful, friendly, professional and clean. Tidying up after themselves. Thank you

Communication & update
Day of collecting was 23/4/2025 and after waiting whole day nobody turned up or made a telephone call to apologise .after my telephone call at the end of the day they apologised and rescheduled to 25/4/2025.
It is too long waiting and waste of time for a person who is almost 70 years old.

Hi Abdul Said,
We were unable to complete the work on the initial date as on closer inspection certain tools were required to dismantle the sofa. Works were then rescheduled to the Friday and completed.
