30 sept and still waiting for my telephone wire that Lawsons dangerous delivery driver pulled off the side of my house when delivering to my neighbour who is not even attached to my house, to be put back up,
I’m in a leg brace and do not need this stress.
Lawsons unhelpful do not care, not got in touch with me.
Don’t use unless you happy to get your property or neighbours property damaged. Or worse still manic driver who could cause a serious accident.

Dear Karen - when this unfortunate incident occurred we immediately paid for the repair of all damage to your vehicle. As we have explained to you via a number of telephone calls, we cannot touch telegraph wires as this is the responsibility of BT. We have also tried to help you escalate this issue with BT. I appreciate that you want the telegraph wire repaired. However, this is the responsibility of the provider.

Used colney Heath Branch for a ridiculous 40 ton drop with the high/far reach crane lorry
Roughly £3-400 including VAT for the delivery, an absolute gent by the name of Marius dropped in the sites garden from the road….. think I would use the service even if there was side access…. Saved so much graft!!!
Exceptional!!!!

Thank you for the review - our high lift cranes make very short work of dropping loads exactly where our customers need them - whether over the house into a back garden for extensions or directly onto the roof for loft conversions. These lifts save our busy customers time and money as well being a very safe option compared to manhandling heavy loads.
Great service and friendly staff
Great service and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

Very impressed with our delivery
Very impressed with our delivery, ordered online but wanted an earlier date, called the office and spoke to Lu who rearranged the delivery for the next day completely hassle free customer service. When the delivery arrived the driver was polite and happy to unload in our preferred place. Would definitely use again.
