Advice on welders

As always with Walsh's I recently had a fantastic experience buying a welder. Anthony took so much time out to show us the machine, made sure we knew all the details and was on hand to help when we contacted with questions after the purchase. I cannot fault the service - it was impeccable and it was so reassuring and helpful at a time when we were making a significant purchase for our small business. Thank you!

Hi i went down to HS Walsh in…

Hi i went down to HS Walsh in Birmingham to look at the Orion welders and Laser welders. I made an appointment with Anthony who was extremly helpful and ran through the pros and cons of both the laser and pulse Arc orion welders.
He let me have a go on the machines so i could get use to how they worked, there was no pressure sales just honest advice. I told Anthony i was just here to asses the two types etc. A was in the process of winding up and thanking Anthony for his time then something came over me and i thought Why Not !! and i bought the Orion C-100, i think he was alittle shocked that i had suddenly made up my mind we both had a laugh about it and the deal was done.
Many thanks to Anthony for his helpful service.

Very happy customer.

I have always had a good experience with Walshes. They are helpful and very knowledgable about the goods they sell. I was making a major purchase (for me) and spending a lot of money. Anthony could not have been more helpful, giving up his valuable time to go through my options and make sure I got the right machine for my needs. I’m very happy with my purchase. Thank you so much.

Item out of Stock but Refunded at Once

I phoned first to check that they had the item I wanted in stock before I placed an online order. Unfortunately for me, by the time it was processed, it was no longer in stock. I was sent an email from Sales putting my item on backorder but because I couldn't wait for more than a month, I phoned and asked for a refund. This was processed straight away, for which I am grateful. The customer service was very good and I will return.

Great service - and my clock works again!

I had lost a winder for my (very old!) clock. Staff were really helpful and even when I’d given up on sorting it managed to source one and send to me. Am really grateful and thank you for great service.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, placed an order and was unsure of a few items. The Walsh representative was very patient and recommended products that were more suited to me and my business rather than selling me a more expensive product. After I received my order I contacted them for advice on installing a couple of machines and they guided me through the whole process and even sent me PDF guides and instructions. Highly recommended and will now be my only place to purchase my tools and equipment from!

hopeless customer service

Ordered a heep of GRS equipment, compressor, engravers, hone, etc. Started with a delay as a couple of bits had to come from the US. Finally set up the compressor and discovered it was 110v not 240v so they sent me a replacement 'a better one'. It arrived covered in oil and broken with water in the cilinder, so I can only imagine They we're palming me off with a used one.
They ordered another one from the US but it broke in transit, so another one was ordered (we are now at 4 attempts). Had to stay in all day for the old compressors to be collected (very heavy).
The staff were apologetic, but that's all they did, nothing as compensation for the weeks without the kit. I had turned down a cheeper quote from another supplier. I will order from the US next time.
Walsh have an old fashioned idea of customer service.

Reply below 3 1/2 years after I posted my review. Nothing about trying parse off a used compressor as new?

We are very sorry you are unhappy with our service. Unfortunately the courier damaged the replacement compressor after the supplier originally sent us the 110v version in error. We did resolve all issues and refunded the item in full. Very sorry this happened and that you had to stay in waiting for delivery.

Needed some watch tools and found this company online.
I Thought I would visit the Hatton Garden branch to buy in person.
On a quite dull Tuesday morning found the staff to be so utterly friendly and helpful as I only wanted a couple of small watch tools. They were very informative when questioned about the products that I was interested in.
Thank you for your professional attitude.
