Great price, even better delivery.

Best price around for what I needed and even though I was not desperate and could have waited a few days, these guys processed my order placed at about 2 pm on Friday and delivered the item the very next day... outstanding.

Great service!

Ordered Jotun online and received a call next morning to say they couldn’t colour match. Phoned and asked it they could match a Little Greene colour but sadly not. They offered instant refund but I decided on a RAL colour, they managed to dispatch same day, despite it being after 3:30. DPD delivered following day. Wasn’t expected until Tuesday as it was bank holiday. Great service all round. Thank you.
