Good quality timber!
Polite helpful staff , great selection of building materials most importantly for myself is that the timber is stored correctly , so if you need some straight timber rather than the boomerang timber other suppliers offer you this is a good builders yard to visit.

Great service
Spoke to Steve — great price and very efficient service, with a quick response to my email quote request.
The delivery driver arrived nice and early and knew exactly where to come, as he has delivered here many times before.
Prices also need to remain competitive, as we are a special needs school and every penny counts.
I will definitely be ordering again. Great service.
