I wrote a review and later had an e mail from Hammonds offering £20 M&S vouchers. I have contacted Hammonds but they don't answer my mail, can you tell me why Hammonds offer voucher with no intentions of giving them? It a pity, I did not ask for the vouchers and now it could spoil the companies image

I was offered the chance to be entered in a draw to win £100 M&S vouchers by leaving a review, but was never actually offered the vouchers themselves. I was, however, offered a year’s free single membership of the Woodland Trust, but didn’t take it up.

I had wardrobes fitted by Hammonds, om completion I recieved an e-mail saying that if I did one review i would recieve a £5 M&S voucher and if I did two (Trust Pilot and the Review Centre) I would recieve a £20 M&S voucher. I did the two reviews, you have to send the confirmation of the reviews to Hammonds, which I did and I recieved my £20 M&S voucher within the week. Can I suggest you resend back to Hammonds the confirmation of your review from whichever one you did to recieve your voucher. I did the two to get the £20 which makes me think if you have only done the one this would be £5. But I will say I dont have any details just what you have written. Hope this is of help.

Hi, I had the same issue with Hammonds. I needed some adjustments made to my new furniture and phoned them at the time of the call I mentioned the M&S vouchers not yet received... They apologised for the delay and I received them in a few days. Try phoning them. I'm sure they will respond. Good luck.

We too had a wardrobe fitted (beautifully) and was asked to write a review by a separate company(cant remember the name) on behalf of Hammond's with a promise of M & S vouchers and naturally we wrote a glowing review - which was well deserved - and thought no more of the vouchers, but low and behold about 4 or 5 weeks later we received two £10.00 M & S vouchers in the post. I initially thought that it was a bit of a ruse to get me to write a review but to be perfectly honest we were so happy to write it anyway because we were so pleased with the wardrobe it didn't really matter, but it was a very pleasant surprise when they eventually came in the post.

After having wardrobes fitted by Hammonds I was asked to write a review & if I did two for two different review sights I would receive £20 M&S vouchers .... This I did & in no time at all I was sent the vouchers..Try resenting your reviews again to Trust Pilot & The Review Centre.. Good luck

I was offered the £20 M&S vouchers and after leaving a review I received the vouchers, no problem. Haven't used them yet. Sorry to hear you are having problems.

As previously answered, you need to do the 2 reviews and then forward the confirmations, which you should receive from the 3 review sites, to Hammonds. They will then send the vouchers. This is a genuine offer. If you are uncertain, ring them, they are very helpful.

Has anyone had misaligned or chipped edges on newly fitted furniture? Hammonds told us that is a normal finish for Hammonds, just hoping that someone can give us a different experience. Thank you

I've had two installations of hammonds furniture the first had multiple flaws with the installation and supply of parts - all of which were eventually sorted out to my complete satisfaction which is why I used the company again and the second time - excellent no flaws at all. I would say that chips or misalignments are NOT acceptable in any fitted furniture - there was misalignment in mine which the trouble shooter first of all said that's just how it is and then used a tape measure and said errmm that's totally wonky.. the way I handled it was to be unreasonably nice... this embarrassed them into getting it fixed properly although that may not work for you... but you shouldn't just accept it.

We had Hammonds fit all our bedrooms in a previous house (2008 - 2012) and then all of them at our new house which we moved to in 2012. In the early fittings they were fantastic, but they have deteriorated so much in my opinion that I would never, ever use them again. We had so many problems with our last fitting we considered taking them to court. They fitted the bedroom (office furniture actually) poorly and tried every trick in the book to fob us off, including throwing a little piece of the small print at us when everything else was failing. Their 'service' I can only describe as utterly appalling. So, to answer your question. Yes, chipped and misaligned edges are normal for Hammonds. Does that mean you can't demand to have it righted to comply with the consumer law? No, it doesn't, but I'm afraid you're going to have to shout loud, shout long and shout hard to get a result, and then make a note to tell everyone you can about how appalling they really are. My advice, get a local joiner, or a small local company with a good name to do fit your rooms out.

Thank you for your very helpful comments. Everyone in the process has been really pleasant. As such, I would like to believe that the senior management team would be embarrassed to see what they are installing in people's homes and branding it as a Hammmonds product. Should there be no resolution, then there would be no option other than to escalate (media/ombudsman) and get everything taken out and start again from scratch.

Hi MonicaM I had a similar experience to CWoodcockUK below - first installation (2013)had some chips/flaws in some of the mouldings and the doors were hung incorrectly - they sorted it out quickly and satisfactorily. We used them again in 2015 for second bedroom and the installation went really well, the furniture is great but the only thing I would mention is that there was a fair bit of mess left, but I am a bit OCD so others might not find it so bad! Good luck with getting a resolution.

Sorry for the late reply. Contrary to some of the answers I have just read, we had an excellent experience with Hammonds in July 2016. They fitted some bedroom wardrobes for us in a very awkward space and made a very neat and tidy job of it. They also made some bedside cabinets and a chest of drawers which we were very pleased with. There were no misalignments or chipped edges, and if there had been we would not have been at all happy and would not have paid the final balance until this was sorted out. The fitter was professional, tidy and courteous and did not leave any mess whatsoever. Perhaps we were lucky!!
