Most competitive price I could find online. Kept up-to-date with delivery time via emails. The delivery driver who delivered my order was helpful and polite. If I need anymore building materials in the future I will more than likely use Bradfords again, as I couldn't fault the service I received from them.

Great team at St Austell branch
The experience was the best I have ever experienced from a builders merchant. The online ordering system was straightforward. During contact with the local branch team to arrange delivery and the delivery itself, I was treated professionally and as a valued customer, despite the diy scale of the order.
