At first the service was brilliant
At first the service was brilliant, ordered and delivered exactly when it was meant to be. But if you want a refund be prepared to send multiple emails and make multiple phone calls to keep getting told ‘we will look into it’ still 4 weeks later no money back.
Update….
Got a reply to say this would be sorted as a matter of urgency but again another week later and still no refund. Even after all the info was given as soon as I got there email.

My second online order so far
My second online order so far, most competitive price I could find. Good quality timber arrived when it was supposed to, driver was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely use Lawsons ( Ascot branch ) again.
Late delivery with no communication
I ordered 50 softwood brown sleepers. I gave plenty of notice and requested a specific delivery date (Friday 1st July). I waited in ALL DAY... called them late afternoon to be told "someone should have called" as delivery could not be fulfilled. "They'll be delivered tomorrow". That was a Saturday morning and no use for the people I arranged to help me move them... did it on my own! Thanks Lawsons!
True line fencing

Poor/reasonable
Products are good, prices are reasonable but service is very slow, so slow I have to think about using you, however, staff are always very polite.

Rip off
I bought a bag of sand for £50, two days later i was charged £62 for the same bag. When I bought this up in the shop the staff were incredibly rude and didn’t offer a satisfactory reason for this. They also charge £9:50 for a bag of cement on account which is extortionate. Everything is very overpriced compared to other builders merchants and most of the staff appear to be on another planet. I will never use them again

Always helpful and will offer advice where possible. Driver even helped to drop some stuff around the back rather than leave on driveway!
