Staff were very good.
Staff were very good but the price for 1.8m gravel boards is expensive. I have purchased a 3m gravel board from a timber merchant for £6.

Good Morning
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.
Kind Regards,
Megan
Very good service
Very good service, despite the driver arriving a tad early for me @ 08.00, so Tina had a bit of shock seeing a semi clad old man at the time of the morning. Trust her day improved!!!
Brought all of the items purchased up the drive and closed the gate behind her. Can't ask for more than that.
