Excellent customer service
Today we went into Bradfords to get a washer for our dripping kitchen sink. We have not used this shop before as we thought it was mainly for tradesmen.
The man on reception directed us to the plumbing expert, Sam Johns. He was so very helpful and didn’t once make us feel silly asking questions. We ended up with new
taps, which are fitted and perfect!
We will definitely use this shop in the future and recommend you to our friends and family.
Thank you so much Sam Johns.
Ps. I will work on having a new kitchen 😂
