P**s Up in a brewery? Not likely.

Ordered some floorboards, they confirmed the order it says 2 working days delivery. Heard nothing for 10 days so I start calling up. Can't get any sense out of them for 3 days on the phone and then I get an email saying my order has been cancelled. Great, thanks. Waited two weeks for an order not to arrive, then another 5 days for a refund, all the time delaying a job

I purchased the item through the website and got notified via email when it was available for pickup. A helpful gentleman even assisted by bringing it to my vehicle.

I wouldn’t recommend this company after the experience I’ve just had. I ordered a bifold door and the first delivery turned up with both doors damaged and the track completely the wrong size. Mistakes happen, so I gave them the chance to put it right. I then had to wait another week and two days for the replacement… which also arrived damaged, with the wrong size track again.

Two deliveries, same issues, no quality control whatsoever. I now have two sets of damaged doors in my home and still no usable product. I’ve had to request a full refund under my consumer rights because I’m not accepting a third attempt.

If you’re thinking about ordering from them, just be aware of what you might be dealing with. My experience has been nothing but delays, inconvenience and damaged items arriving twice. Not worth the hassle.

Hi K,

We are genuinely sorry for the experience you have had with this order. Receiving damaged doors on two separate occasions is completely unacceptable, and we fully understand your decision to request a full refund.

For orders traveling a significant distance, we rely on 3rd party couriers, and it is clear they have not taken the correct level of care to ensure your items arrived safely.
We will be raising this issue with our couriers.
We sincerely apologize for the hassle and the failure to deliver a usable product.

Super Service at Shawfield

I was very impressed with my first transaction with Shawfield Timber. I placed my order at 7:52, received confirmation at 8:04 and notice my order was ready for collection at 08:34. My order was a panel requiring cutting so this was particularly impressive. Now that's a slick operation.
When I collected my order the next morning, this was very easy. The young man on the collection point even carried my perfectly cut shelves to the car. Top marks to all involved with my order.

Excellent company

I had an excellent experience with Shawfield Timber while sourcing materials for works undertaken at my flat. Their team were always helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to offer practical advice, ensuring I got exactly what I needed. The quality of the materials was great, and everything was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I’d happily use them again and highly recommend.
