Got my son out of a tight spot when he broke his car key. He popped in and they cut a new one at a very reasonable price and got him back on the road. Thanks, another teenager on the road .

Custom cut 4 200x100mm laminate panes for a bespoke inset shower shelf, 2 smoked and 2 frosted. All cut perfectly but I gave them the wrong measurements accidentally, took back and it was absolutely no trouble for them to amend them the same day.
Granted its a bit hit and miss when theyre open but I cant fault the service I received and by far the best price I could find.

Poor customer service. Went to shop to order some cut glass and he had gone on a break. No one to serve. Phoned another day to order. Told to collect in a couple of hours. Left it 4 hours, went to collect. No one in shop and buzzer ignored. Went into workshop to be told no its not done. Weve been busy. No apology for two wasted journeys. Obviously dont need local business -will go online instead
