Robert has recently purchased cast iron Y pattern air bricks from us for use on a restoration project. Its not the first order weve had from them, in fact weve been supplying these guys with cast iron grilles and grates since 2013. We are very grateful for the custom and wish you all well on any future projects

Came to quote but never got back to us with one, despite several promises that it would be with us 'the next day'. If he didn't want the job, fair enough, but just be polite enough to let us know! We wasted a month waiting for him to get back.
