Great experience with PGR Building…
Great experience with PGR Building Merchants in Southend. Their prices are very competitive, the service was excellent from start to finish, and the delivery driver was especially helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!
Very Unprofessional and Poor Customer Service
I went to one of PGR Builders & Timber Merchants’ branches in East London to place a small order, just a few pieces of wood and I didn’t even need delivery. However, I was told they were short on delivery staff and couldn’t process any orders until the following Wednesday.
I found that quite ridiculous, as I was there in person and ready to take the items myself. When I asked why they couldn’t handle a basic order, I was simply told “that’s just how it is.” I suggested they hire more staff if they can’t manage, and left.
Not sure what kind of business they’re trying to run, but it came across as very unprofessional and disorganised.
Rayleigh Branch
First time I've used the Rayleigh branch, won't be the last. Helpful driver, phoned when on the way, and even helped me push my pallet truck loaded with ballast up a slight incline. Good quality materials, competitive pricing, prompt delivery.

Very disappointed that I had to wait to be served at your Southend branch on a Saturday late morning as you only had one staff member!
What’s the point of opening?

A Breath of Fresh Air: Exceptional Service from a Polite and Positive Delivery Professional
We had the pleasure of receiving a delivery this morning from a young man who exemplified professionalism and courtesy at its finest. Despite the demanding nature of the task, involving the transport of heavy blocks and cement to our premises, he approached it with a smile that could brighten even the gloomiest of mornings.
His polite demeanour and lovely attitude were immediately evident and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him.
In an industry where early morning deliveries can often be met with grumbles and groans, this young man defied expectations by radiating positivity throughout the entire process.
It's individuals like him who remind us that a positive attitude can make all the difference, turning what could have been a mundane task into a delightful experience.
We contacted the company directly to get his name - we believe it is Ben Truman.
Ben - we wholeheartedly commend you for your outstanding service and would not hesitate to welcome you back for future deliveries.
