Fabulous customer service. They returned calls as soon as someone was available and offered super advice and support regarding the products required with our order. All items delivered in good time.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Artificial grass arrived exactly as described. No harsh smell and feels much nicer than others we looked at. Ideal for children and pets.

From ordering to delivery, the process was seamless. The slatted cladding arrived perfectly packaged and the quality is fab. Our Joiner fitted it this weekend and we're over the moon with the finish.... See more

Very poor service

Very poor service. Ordered 5 working days ago. The lead time says 1-5 days. Had an email on day 2 saying your order is on the way. Call on day 5 after hearing nothing else to be told it hasn’t even been dispatched.

Superb customer service

So pleased I came across this company for our cladding. Customer service was exceptional, where you can actually speak to someone who knows their stuff and gave expert advice. Daniel was great and arranged a quick turnaround with delivery too. Would 100% recommend.

Poor customer service

Haven’t had an opportunity to use them as they never respond to any of my questions. Both my wife and I on separate occasions have posted questions on their online chat forum and not once have they responded. Based on our experience the service they provide appears to be very poor. I would be concerned with spending money with a company who can’t responded to simple questions.

Hi Anthony,

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience—it definitely doesn't reflect the standards we strive for. We've recently experienced technical difficulties with the chat feature on our website, and we're actively working with our web developer to resolve this by removing the function as soon as possible. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to us via email at hello@artificial-living.com, or you can call our landline at 0161 509 8637. Our team is always here to help and will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your understanding.

Warm regards,

AL

AVOID

AVOID! Sent the wrong cladding clips and refused to pay for replacement clips I needed to buy locally as builders were already on site. Claimed it was my fault for not checking the order and suggested we fit them without clips as a workaround. Awful customer service. Avoid!!

Hi Nick,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — I’m genuinely sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling disappointed.

I’ve carefully reviewed your order and the notes from our team. Your order was placed on Friday, 14th March and delivered on Tuesday, 25th March — just two working days later, which is a relatively quick turnaround in our industry. You then contacted us on Friday, 28th March to let us know there was an issue with the clips you received.

As soon as we were made aware, we offered two options to resolve the matter as quickly as possible: either a full refund or replacement clips sent via next-day delivery. I completely understand that the situation caused inconvenience, and while we truly wanted to help, we weren’t able to meet the alternative solution you proposed — covering £600 in builder costs or purchasing clips locally for £180.

We always aim to provide a positive experience for our customers, and I’m sorry this situation didn’t meet those expectations. If there’s anything further we can do, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d be more than happy to assist.

Best regards,

Artificial Living.

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your review.

I see that you placed your order on February 1st, which was a Saturday. Our quoted delivery time for samples is 2-4 business days, so we're still within that timeframe. I’ve checked your tracking information, and it looks like your sample should arrive today or tomorrow.

If you need anything else, feel free to give us a call.

Best,
AL

Slatted Cladding Board v2 - Grey

I placed an order for samples, which all arrived as expected. That was the only part of the process that went smoothly.
I tried placing an order online, but some of the materials were showing as unavailable. After a phone call, we agreed to place the order via email.
When the order arrived, I noticed that one item was mixed up: instead of Cladding End Trim, I received Edging Trim. I informed the delivery driver, who agreed to take it back and said that the office would contact me regarding a refund or replacement for the incorrect item.
However, no one from their office reached out to me, so I called a few days later to explain the situation. We agreed that once the delivered materials were installed, we would decide what to do. If additional materials were needed, they would apply a credit; otherwise, I would be refunded.
After placing an order for the additional materials, no credit was offered. More than six weeks later, I still haven’t received a refund.
I would strongly advise avoiding this company, as their customer service is terrible. My client initially chose their Acoustic Wall Panels, but we’ve since decided to go elsewhere. This whole experience has been frustrating. Their response time to emails is also incredibly slow. AVOID

Hi Vytas,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we appreciate all reviews, whether positive or negative, as they help us improve our service.

I’ve looked into your order, and it seems there was some misunderstanding regarding the 15 trims you refused on delivery. Based on your email, you requested "end trims," but I believe you may have meant "external corners." Since we don’t sell end trims, we replaced them with edging trims instead. As you accepted the quote and proceeded with payment, we assumed this had been clarified.

I also noticed that you reached out to us over the Christmas shutdown period. We responded as soon as we reopened in January, but I do apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay.

Aside from this issue, it appears both of your orders were delivered within the expected timeframe and without any further problems. However, we want to make this right for you—please give us a call at 0161 509 8637, and we’ll be happy to resolve the trim issue. Just have your order number handy when you call.

Best regards,
AL

Excellent service.

The quality of the artificial grass I ordered was as advertised. Delivery was well within the timescale, and customer service kept me updated throughout the whole process.

10/10 company, brilliant!

My building company have ordered several times now for composite cladding and fixings. What a brilliant company. Easy website to navigate, excellent customer service over the phone and so quick with getting orders out. I’d highly recommend this company and the high quality products.
