Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your honest feedback! We're glad to hear that the delivery went smoothly and that the product worked for your project.

Our MOT Type 1 is indeed a 40mm-to-dust product, which is ideal for certain applications. For projects requiring a finer finish, our 20mm-to-dust option is a great alternative, though it does come at a slightly higher price point. We’d be happy to discuss your needs for future projects to ensure you get the perfect product for the job. The dust does tend to sit towards the bottom of the bag as well especially if its been raining since it was bagged.

Thank you for using us and hope we can exceed your expectations next time around. If there’s anything we can do to assist with your next project, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love the opportunity to turn this 3-star experience into a 5-star one!

Disappointing delivery service

I deliberately chose my delivery day to coincide with a work from home day. To be home when the delivery was made. No knock on the door to alert me of said delivery. Just drop and leave. Now I have to hand ball 2 tonne of gravel. Thanks for a that.

Please accept our apologies. We will investigate this and come back to you ASAP.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent delivery experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Our driver, Rob, mentioned that he did knock on the door upon arrival but didn’t receive a response. He placed the gravel on the driveway, close to the area that appeared to be under preparation, to make it as convenient as possible for you to move and use. We aim to ensure deliveries are placed in the most practical and accessible location while adhering to health and safety guidelines.

Russ the legend

Our delivery driver, Russ, went above and beyond this morning. I am just recovering from surgery and was home alone, but he picked up on this without hesitation offered to bring the delivery up the driveway as there was nowhere suitable to leave it by the road. He did several trips with a smile on his face and wouldn’t even accept a cuppa as thanks - thank you Russ!

Daybrook Nottingham Branch...Exceptional service from both the booking staff(Craig) and two delivery drivers. The first delivery was great but we had ordered tons of additional gravel so needed to move the previous lot. Delivery driver 2(Ken) was great and arranged the sharp sand bags, cement etc into a better arrangement to make way for additional stock to be put onto the driveway. Great work & excellent quality items as always. Thanks👍

Excellent - thanks Melanie!

Absolutely lovely to come in to Frank Key in Arnold/Daybrook to look at bathrooms and be guided by Melanie. There was no pressure to buy and I was given lots of help. My bathroom looks beautiful and I am extremely pleased also with Peter who fitted it. Carol G

MOT Roadstone Delivery

Mark from Somercoates was very friendly and polite and delivered the building material when Frank Key said they would and placed them very carefully just where I wanted them on the drive. The materials were a good price and look good quality. I would definitely recommend Frank Key.👍

Brilliant service from Frank Key Rochdale. I hired a tower scaffold for a week and it arrived promptly on the day as arranged and the driver was very nice and pleasant to deal with. They arrived again as promised a week later to collect the scaffold. The scaffold was brilliant and did just the job I needed it for. Brillaint pricing and very well managed. I will most definitely be using Frank Key again for all my hire needs. Cheers guys.
