Utilised a lot lately, always knowledgable and very helpful. Prices are good, staff are very friendly. Yard is a tad mucky but a rug would look out of place

After speaking to a member of staff initially. We visited the branch, hired a scaffold tower all done in no time at all, very helpful staff. Delivery was on time, driver unloaded and very friendly. They collected a week later, again driver very professional. As a whole our experience was very good and we will use them again.
