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

Replacement Gas Meter

I needed a replacement gas meter but I was unsure of the type I required . I rang and spoke to Terry in the technical department. I have to say the service I received was second to none . His knowledge and advice made the whole process very easy. I did comment to him at the time , that it was a pleasure to chat with him.
Also when I went to place the order I spoke to a lady called Tracy and she was just the same. Extremely helpful, friendly and a pleasure to chat to.
Both are clearly great ambassadors for this company. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

A great shopping experience

A great shopping experience. The website was being updated and my order couldn't be completed so I called the order line and my call was taken by Tracy. It was a pleasure to speak with someone so friendly, personable and efficient. You can't beat human interaction. She is a credit to the company.

BES Review

My experience through the BES Sales Portal wasn't extremely positive, and in the end gave up and reverted to the ol' fashion "Phone the Order through". Tracy took my call and reinstalled my faith in BES...... she processed the order for delivery tomorrow so smoothly, and helped me every stage of the way. That's why AI will never replace the likes of Tracy. Thank you

Absolutley blinding service!

Always great service but this time, while dealing with delivery issues (the fault of DPD) the service I experienced from Beth Crickmore in the sales team was exceptional. Despite ongoing issues she was relentless in pursuing a positive outcome, continuously friendly, apologetic, informative and helpful, an absolute pleasure to deal with. She’s a real credit to BES, if only more people in the world could have this positive and productive energy!

Just sorted an account out with Beth…

Just sorted an account out with Beth Crickmore on the phone because the website was stressing me out and she was 1st class. Even managed to sort my order and get it sent out that night for me. Great service, great products.

Not once, but twice!

Tracy & Sean was a great help to me, not on one, but two occasions. I ordered late one night and made a mistake with my delivery address (It had been a long day) but Sean was to help and corrected my mistake for me hassle free, second time I realised I forgot some key items on my order (did I say it was a long day? haha) however, I rang back instantly and got through to Tracy, she was very understanding and happy to help again, very good service from Tracy & Sean, exactly what you want... after a long day... :D
