Reply from Lawsons (Whetstone) Ltd - Sidcup
Thank you for your kind review and we will definitely share it with the teams at Sidcup and Crawley. Our business is built upon a foundation of great service and we are delighted to have been able to help you with your order.
Very pleased with the service and quality of goods!
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to anything DIY and was looking for timber to do decking in my garden. Jake Dempster at Lawson's in Sidcup provided me with a great service and recommendations on the materials I needed. Absolutely delighted with the end result. Will definitely be using Lawson's again in the future.
