Always good local service, though prices can be high, I bought ready mixed concrete which was £4/bag dearer than Wickes.

Good prices, very quick free delivery. Delivery driver was friendly. Website easy to navigate and use. No answer from the Seaton branch though when I tried to return their call.

Friendly and Helpful staff at the Seaton branch
Shaun the manager at the Seaton branch is very helpful, friendly and always responds promptly. Delivery is always scheduled within a few days.
Darren the delivery driver is very respectful of our property, very friendly and extremely helpful. He even split our scalpings bag for us and spread it over the required area using the crane, saving us a back breaking job. Thank you.

Be sure to check prices on each line, otherwise - great supplier!
It's irritating, because Bradfords's prices are all over the place! For example, lintels are an a par with other local builders' merchants. But galvanised lathe is twenty quid, compared to twelve quid from Travis Perkins for the exact same product...
Their drivers are super-helpful, customer service is great, on-line ordering works reliably.
I just wish I could order everything from Bradfords, and not have to check prices for every sodding item! It's almost like they try to sneak in double-margins on random lines to catch people out?
