I'm an absolute noob when it comes to anything particularly 'handy'. However, the staff here were excellent; friendly, knowledgeable and really helpful. I was able to tell them what I was trying to achieve, and what I thought I wanted. The staff were reassuring, and full of suggestions on how I might be able to achieve what I wanted while saving a bit of money. Fantastic service, I can't recommend this place enough for a DIYer.

Artic delivery:This location is wrong for heavyside materials. Use postcode EX15 1BT. The heavyside depot is located at the bottom of the Longbridge Meadows Estate.

The chap I dealt with at Labdon's went above and beyond to help. I am just trying to do a small projecr at home he took the time to help me sort out the wood I needed. Even when I messed up some wood he helped me sort out the problem. These guys are not just there for the big companies but take the time to help out DIY numpties like me as well. Thank you fellas

Great place for all your building supplies. Good value and efficient. Even got my keys cut there in only a few minutes. Currently they serve you outside where it's safe. All very organised and didn't have to wait long.
