While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

They were great, especially fast with their delivery. We had to order online as they did not have everything in store at the Dumfries branch. But we were happy with next day delivery.

Stock control issue
Ordered SWA cable in the evening for collection which showed as in stock. Branch called next morning to say it was not actually in stock, and to order for delivery for the day following. Fortunately next day delivery was achieved so we only lost 1/2 day on the job schedule
