Bradfords Plymouth…
I have bought very long lengths of Tantalized Timber and various thicknesses of Plywood from Bradfords Plymouth on many occasions for my Motorhome. The previous timber was rotten because the motorhome was leaking due to the degrading sealant. The service I have received from Bradfords is first class every time, with fantastic communication via email and telephone regarding delivery of products. Delivery is always on time and delivery staff are always very friendly. They go above and beyond their delivery job by helping me move the sheets of plywood inside to protect against the weather. I highly recommend Bradfords for all types of timber.
