5 star service

I have been using clarkes of Walsham for a number of years and they have never let me down, never ever messed up an order, everything is always picked and delivered correctly and arrives on the day that they say it will be with me.
I find this type of customer service is getting very rare these days.
Prices are very competitive too, keep up the good work.

Concrete posts

Recently bought some concrete fence posts and post fix. I would definitely recommend this company and use them again. From the moment I contacted them with a query to the delivery, everything about them is great. Very helpful, friendly and a great price. Thank you Adam Howe, the chap who took the order and the delivery driver, excellent service 👍
