I have purchased lots of materials from BBS over the years when renovating my house. Never had any problems with them - always delivered when they said they would, helpful lads in the shop and on the phone. Purchased from them again recently and happy to say they haven't changed :)
Keep up the good work!

If I give a good review will I get a discount? But seriously nice people working there. Very knowledgeable. Happy to help and advise. Pricing is competitive. You can get most things a builder or DIY needs on a day-to-day basis.

Went today to buy some paint as I'd run out, and even though you can't go in the shop they asked me what I wanted and then went and got it for me and I paid by card, very easy
