Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 524 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, frequently praising the efficiency and speed of the delivery service. Customers consistently highlight the helpfulness and politeness of the staff, including delivery drivers, who often go above and beyond to assist with orders and placements. The ease of ordering, coupled with excellent service and the quality of goods received, contributes to a highly positive overall impression. However, some customers also noted issues with product quality, such as bent timber or damaged items upon arrival, and occasional discrepancies between online delivery promises and actual delivery times. A few other people also felt that the delivery drivers were unhelpful or that the ordering process led to incorrect items being delivered.

A very happy customer...

I was really impressed with the price first of all. My fencing panels were not at the expensive end and they look really robust, well made and really decent quality, especially considering the price. They arrived as and when indicated and the delivery guy was a really helpful chap. When I need to, I am definitely a returning customer.

Incorrect stated delivery dates on the company web site. Placed an order for some block pavers with a 7 day delivery.
Was then contacted 2 days later to be told it would be over a month for the blocks to be back in stock. Would expect a company of that size to be far more organised. Went back to Jewsons and received first rate services.

Good Morning Hadley

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

I am saddened to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to one of our trusted suppliers.

I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Sadly with seasonal demand on paving and landscaping supplies some stock delays can be expected however we do rely on our suppliers to keep us updated in a more timely manner to prevent disappointment to our customers. We will look into this further and see what can be done to prevent it from happening in future.

Kind Regards,
Sam

Excellent experience!!!

Bradford’s have a great choice and great prices. I’m doing a large fencing job and Amy contacted me to make sure my order quantities were correct as they seemed a little excessive. Thanks Amy for double checking I don’t mess up…
The delivery was super fast and easy. The driver, John, was great and the entire delivery was turned around fast, but carefully. Thanks John.
Overall super impressed with Bradford’s, from ease of ordering, excellent service and delivery.
Big thanks to the team !!!!
