Reece was really helpful

Waited 4 months for delivery of slats, sent 2 instead of 3 so not really impressed with the company but Reece was great in taking a note of our issues and advising on next steps 👍

AVOID

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!!!!

This is my 3rd review.
I bought the solar LED system and the lights have already stopped working after just a few days!!!!! The LED strip is now only lighting up halfway.
My fence has finally been installed, but getting to this point has been an absolute nightmare. The delivery had to be made THREE separate times before I finally received all the correct components. I had to wait, chase the company and deal with incorrect/missing parts repeatedly.
And now, after all that, the LED system I paid extra for has already failed within a few days.
I am honestly extremely disappointed and completely fed up. I paid a significant amount of extra money for what was supposed to be a premium solar LED system, and this is the quality I have received.
For the amount of money I have spent, I expected a reliable, high-quality product — not constant problems, repeated deliveries and now faulty lights almost immediately after installation.
This is completely unacceptable. I would strongly think twice before paying extra for the LED system.

I recently contacted customer service regarding an issue with the lighting on my mirror, and I spoke with Abigail, who was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure the correct replacement was sent out, and I’m now very happy with my beautiful new mirror with LED lighting.

Thank you so much, Abigail, for your fantastic customer service and for resolving the issue so efficiently. I really appreciate your help and would definitely recommend!

5***** Charlton

Charlton is such an asset to your business. He is personable, caring, funny and extremely knowledgeable nothing is too much trouble. He does everything. He literally stops what he is doing to help. He fetches and carries the panels you like and also helps you with all the measurements and the extra bits you need. We simply cannot thank him enough. It was our 3rd visit to your Carrington warehouse and we were extremely fortunate that he was working on our first visit and when we arrived today. He is a 5***** guy and deserves praise and recognition for his kindness and obvious talents.
