Fantastic service from Tyler…

Fantastic service from Tyler when ordering 30+ panels, posts and gravel boards. Over £3000 in total he gave efficient, useful advice on products and helped me optimise the cost to get best value for money. I recommend calling & asking for Tyler.

Lawsons were so wonderful

Lawsons were so wonderful. They didn't look down their noses because I'm not 'trade' or because I'm a girlie. They gave me personal help and advice. They cut the timber especially for me to fit my requirements. They delivered, even though it was an order of only 4 planks. They went out of their way to deliver to the place I requested. When one of the planks was defective, they delivered a replacement right away.

Very satisfied customer.

We have used this Company when it was Herts Timber supplies for a number of years and since being taken over by Lawsons. The service we receive from going to the stores or dealing on line with orders and financial matters has been first class. They are understanding of clients needs with a professional approach.

Lawsons takeover

As a company most of our developments are in the Herts /Beds area. Since Herts timber got taken over by Lawsons we have noticed a considerable change in staff professionalism , stream line service and overall happy to help model.The extensive services that Lawsons offer has made it our go to building outlet, The staff inside and outside , from DIY to developers like ourselves are always on hand to help.Lianne and James inside the office even answer their calls when they are on annual leave to help us with our projects ! They are a credit to the company .

Great service always

I’ve been using Lawsons Letchworth for the last 10 years. All staff from the yard to the office are always very helpful. You get a great service because they go the extra mile. They’re especially good if you require bespoke timber. Can highly recommend them to anyone in the trade.
