Brilliant service as always from Allan at Whetstone. We’re always behind on when we should have ordered stuff and he still sorts us for rapid deliveries every time. Life-saver.

Fantastic Service
I have had a brilliant experience with lawsons. Starting with boards for my loft where Floyd was more than helpful. Really appreciated his help when I was unable to lift myself he happily done it. Thankyou. And thankyou to Joe and Ross (Colney heath) have gone above and beyond. Great service and top company. Would highly recommend Lawsons to anyone needing to renovate or even little touches. Fantastic!!

Thank you for the review and we are delighted you enjoyed your experience of using Lawsons. We hope your loft looks amazing!
Excellent Service
I ordered feather edge boards & arris rails just before Christmas for delivery today,. On arrival I discovered the boards were the wrong size. I had mistakenly ordered the wrong product, Jason at customer service sorted everything out with minimum fuss & the correct size boards were delivered by the very helpful Floyd early afternoon. Spectacular customer service. Many thanks!
