Every conceivable plumbing component next day. How do they do it? Prices are very fair too. e.g. a fairly standard nylon pipe connector as you would expect, less than 50p, but on famous auction site f... See more

I thought I'd do a quick review I'm very happy I decided to buy from Bes. I looked at several options; Bes were the best on price; some other companies even wanted to charge more for the plastic key... See more

No Fuss Returns

Completely happy with my shopping experience from BES. Unfortunately, the product I’d chosen was incompatible for my boiler, but I was able to return it (unopened and unused) to BES with no problem. Thank you.

Easy to sort out when it goes wrong

UPDATE: Called earlier because I couldn't find something on their site - had to hang up while waiting to speak to someone (another thing came up)... a few hours later, they called me to see if there was anything they could do to help. Top marks (again!)

I judge a company based on how they perform when things go wrong. The initial delivery, was screwed up by DPD, however BES immediately looked into it and arrange for replacements to be sent out ( including giving me the option for receiving them on a Saturday, which was rather nice). When I received the replacements, I discovered one item still outstanding, which may very well have been my error-with no fuss whatsoever, they arranged for a second parcel to fulfill the remaining order even though the error was very likely my error. Everything was communicated very clearly, and it was genuinely very easy to sort out. Top marks.
