Helpful staff(Chris)/lots to see

Chris was extremely helpful. Asked us if he could help but we were having a good look round first. Answered any questions we had and made us feel comfortable whilst wandering around the store. Bought some screens but advised him we would be back for more!!!

Check it all before accepting items.

Although there was a mix up (twice), and our correct item arrived third time lucky, the girls on the telephone were great, patient and very understanding. The delivery drivers were wonderful! Pleasant, polite and nothing was too much trouble. My abbey trough is beautiful.

Polite and helpful

Anthony and Rick rang in advance to give a more accurate time of delivery. They were polite and carried my goods to a convenient place.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Paid over £4,000 for some panels, and paid £125 for next day delivery. Delivery still not received days later, despite receiving time slot from logistics company.

Customer service unaccessible and I eventually spoke to sales team who were incredibly patronising, after waiting over an hour was told to 'be patient'. Would not recommend.

Thanks for listening to my feedback

Thank you for delivering both my panels after a very long wait. Communication has improved and I really appreciate that you listened and read my feedback. This is a really novel business and I hope you continue to grow from strength to strength. James was exceptional in his delivery. Thank you team.

Delivery drivers polite and friendly

Delivery drivers polite and friendly.
Earlier delivery slot than desired. First van (of 2) arrived at 8am but slot given was 06.30 to 09.30.
Confirmation of delivery date was only 3 days before (and then only after chasing for an update) which means a delay before fitting as I couldn’t book fitters. 8 weeks between order/payment and delivery.
Quality product but not cheap.
