Good general building materials suppliers. Stock is good, service is fast, well informed and courteous, what they don't have they will generally get. Prices are OK. Delivery, if you need stuff delivered out, is typically two to three days.

Have used TAS for years and in that time their choice of materials has grown substantially . Staff always helpfull and polite. We recommend TAS as the first choice for DIY and building materials. One thing to remember most prices are plus VAT .
