Heard on Facebook that these guys were good value and that was what I got. Great treatment for a new non trade customer and buying a wheel barrow along with my other building materials came to a very reasonable total. They were busy and I can see why. Great local supplier.

Well stocked, large yard. Maybe more setup for landscape, brick laying and groundwork than timber but still a good selection of timber and panels. In store is tools, decorating supplies including paint mixing, screws, fastenings and door/gate furniture.
