Rugged London provided me with the best, cleanest, square cut and un-banded 1.2m & 0.9m scaffold boards to make raised beds for my allotment, as I can no longer get down on my hands and knees. I am de... See more

Delighted with the reclaimed boards David supplied, which were cut to size and slotted in easily in place of the broken Victorian ones in my new home. The boards have character and I can't thank David... See more

We bought scaffold boards for new raised beds at our allotment and some bags of kindling. All are top quality- no cracks or splits, dry and cut to length exactly as ordered. Tony the delivery dr... See more

Having been severely let down by another company (no flooring, took the money, and stopped replying to messages), I contacted Rugged London. David's service was above and beyond fantastic. He understo... See more

Rugged is as Rugged does

I've bought boards from Rugged on several occasions for home projects now and I've been delighted with the products and the helpful service. Thanks Charlie for some really useful tips and for lugging all by boards back in to the workshop to keep them dry when it was raining the other day and I was late getting to you.

Great

It’s difficult to find the right quality wood for furniture but rugged talked me through what I needed and the different finishes.

Great shoppping experience

Great shoppping experience
Does what it says on the tin but with excellent customer service. Boards perfect and cut to size I wanted - no fuss or hidden extras. Wish I had bought 6 boards instead of 4 but no issue with going back for more - I'm confident I will get the same excellent service. My best regards, Patricia

Delivery issues...

There appeared to be a bit of confusion regarding delivery. Ordered and paid on the Monday; no follow up; I left a message on Wednesday - no reply; called again Thursday and spoke to David who apologised and arranged delivery for Friday; Friday delivery didn't get confirmed or happen; called again Saturday morning and spoke again to David who arranged immediate delivery and additional scaffold boards as compensation.
Overall, disappointed I had to call and chase; but happy with the eventual outcome. I would use them again and remind them of their poor previous customer service.

Really helpful and efficient. Boards sanded as required and the boys were happy to help advise on my home projects - desk first, breakfast bar next!

The wood we bought was just right for the planters we wanted to make. They were cut exactly as we wanted them and ready really quickly. Charlie was so helpful when we visited and obviously is passionate about Rugged London

Bad experience

Staff at the warehouse were extremely rude and dismissive when I came to collect my items. This made it difficult to ask questions and exchange faulty boards. I came away feeling awful.

Thank you for your review dispute it is fake.
We do not consider this as a genuine review.
Our warehouse staff do not deal with customers
We do not have faulty boards see other reviews
We pride ourself in fantastic customer service if anyone would like to discuss any issues I normally answer my mobile phone anytime of the day.
It’s a shame someone wants to state things on line and not want to leave a name. We have very little competition clearly our success is upsetting people

Communication was great and my order was exactly what my daughter wanted.

I have placed my second order with…

I have placed my second order with Ruggged London and I understander we are under exceptional circumstances, my first order took nearly 3 weeks from order to delivery and the communication with staff was very poor, unanswered emails and nobody returned several of my calls, the product is great but the delivery of charge of nearly £60 is massively excessive I have placed an order for a considerable amount of money this time compared to the last, I have had a confirmation of order by text but several working days later no further communication.

Ian, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we welcome all feedback to gain a better understanding of customers requirements.
Your points :-
Yes you did have to wait over lock down for Boards that’s because our standard is quite high when we sell boards hence your next comment great product.
As for the delivery charge, you can collect you are not made to pay this we also suggest hire a van anything to help you.
As for lack of Communication my personal mobile Is on all orders and I will look into this and call you next week to discuss
Again thank you for the feedback helping me to improve my staffs skills over lock down
