Fabulous customer service. They returned calls as soon as someone was available and offered super advice and support regarding the products required with our order. All items delivered in good time.

Artificial grass arrived exactly as described. No harsh smell and feels much nicer than others we looked at. Ideal for children and pets.

From ordering to delivery, the process was seamless. The slatted cladding arrived perfectly packaged and the quality is fab. Our Joiner fitted it this weekend and we're over the moon with the finish.... See more

I couldn't be happier with my experience.

The team made the whole process seamless, answering all my questions quickly and thoroughly. Delivery was ahead of schedule, and the cladding looks incredible- better than I imagined! Already recommended to friends

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. The team helped me choose the right cladding for my extension and even quoted exactly what I'd need. Delivery was quick, and the quality of the materials is unmatched. Great value too. I'll definitely be back for my next project!

Dan walked me through the options and helped me pick the perfect cladding for my property. The delivery arrived earlier than expected, and the product looks amazing. Professional service, great communication, and top- notch materials. Highly recommend!

We required Fire rating B cladding

We required Fire rating B cladding (due to the distance of the next-door property) fast to keep our development on track when my original supplier stopped delivering it.
We placed the cladding in both a vertical and horizontal pattern, which was a little tough for our main building contractor, but the result looks fantastic.
Artificial Living and Daniel were extremely helpful and supportive. They assisted with quality and provided timely delivery when we realised due to the pattern and shape of the house, we were short. Their confidence on the colour options (Antique and Black) worked beautifully. I sincerely appreciated all their honesty and help.

I used their fluted plastic cladding to give my 50's house a updated look to match my recently replaced external doors .
The order was delivered in a reasonable time .
My only moan is about a lack of communication about batten substitutions made to my order prior it being despatched.

Lie to get your business.

So….. this is the second time I’ve used artificial living. My reason for coming back again was the customer service i received and also the quality of the products.
what has made me change my review is the fact I was lied to by the owner Daniel. He said he was the only importer of this product and that no one else can get it in the country !! I have since found LBROOFWINDOWS.co.uk that sells the exact product for literally half the price. Halfy the price shipping too !!
I approached Daniel with these findings and asked for a partial refund as I felt I had been mis sold the product and was accused of slander, fraud etc. he said I was unable to change this review as I was trying to hold him to ransom. That is not the case. He is a liar, yes he has a good product but he is ripping people off with the price and it can be found elsewhere with vast savings.
While trying to find identical products, I did come across inferior but there are identical products for half the cost.
I will not be using again and I will be changing all reviews I have left for this company based on Daniel’s lies and deception.
Thanks again
Paul

Update 26/11/24.
I have never tried to get you to price match upon ordering. That makes no sense as I would have just ordered from them ?? You are back tracking and trying to cover up your lies. Please post what proof you have and I will do the same. There is no blackmail either !! I feel I was lied to and that is why I have changed my review. I simply asked for a partial refund and gave the reasons for this request. I was then told by Daniel that I was blackmailing him and being slanderous which I was not and speaking with citizens advice I am in the right. The information I was given at time of purchase I later found out to be lies and that is how we are in this situation.
Me asking for some of my money back or more product to cover that extra cost is not blackmail, it would simply be you doing the right thing and realising you have ripped someone off. Maybe you didn’t realise at the time but now you do and instead of fixing the issue, you ring people mobiles making threats.
Let’s see how many other customers do the same after reading this !!
Very very let down customer that was over the moon with the service on previous purchases but now drastically let down.
Paul.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. While we welcome all reviews, it’s important to address the accuracy of your claims and clarify the situation.

Firstly, we must highlight that you attempted to pressure us into refunding your order by threatening to leave multiple negative reviews online. This constitutes blackmail, which is a serious matter under UK law. The fact you are attempting to do this to a small family run business is very disappointing.

To address your specific claims:

Pricing Transparency:
At no point were you misled by Daniel or any member of our team. We have clear evidence, including your email correspondence, where you referenced pricing from LB Roofing in an attempt to negotiate. While we respect your right to explore competitive quotes, we explicitly informed you that we would not match LB's prices due to differences in product specifications and quality, which you acknowledged before placing your order.

Product Features:
We take pride in offering premium products backed by superior warranties and certifications. To reiterate: Our product includes a 20-year warranty, double the 10-year warranty provided by LB. It also features a Class B fire rating, reflecting the rigorous conditions under which it is manufactured. These factors account for the pricing difference and reinforce the value of our offering.

Unfounded Accusations:
Your statements regarding our honesty and business practices are untrue and without basis. Additionally, your actions over the past three months—including encouraging others to choose competitors—are not only harmful but also unfair to our small, family-run business.

We have always operated transparently and with integrity. While we understand that disputes can arise, we kindly ask that any future concerns be handled constructively and respectfully.

We wish you all the best going forward,

AL

Update 26/11/24.

We have provided Paul with the requested evidence & he is still denying that he sent the said email. Just to be clear his exact words were "I have seen the same product £10 cheaper per board with Easy gardens and also IB ROOF WINDOWS but Daniel was fantastic to deal with last time and I’d rather try and work with yourselves" this email was sent on the Monday the 2nd of September.

Just to be clear we have tried to reach out to Paul on multiple occasions via telephone but he refuses to talk over the phone and will only communicate by text message. Also the only threats that have been made are legal threats to take Paul to court if he continues to slander our small family run business in a bid to get a refunded for products he has purchased and has openly admitted he is happy with.

Great service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really good service, ordered some wood samples and they came days later.

Would throughly recommend, unfortunately we won’t be using the wood ourselves due to a change of plan! However the acoustic wood panels that we got samples of was lovely.

Really happy with my experience with Artificial Living. I've got little to no experience with this kind of thing but Charles made it super easy for me pick the right cladding and quoted everything i needed to finish my extension. The quality and look of the cladding is unreal, all of my neighbours are already thinking of copying our look. Thanks again for the great service!
