Local builders merchants who are very friendly and helpful. I have recently moved house and I'm a little out of the area but they helped me out massively and the driver who delivered the materials went out of his way to drop the delivery exactly where I needed them.
Outstanding and all at a better price than I had been quoted locally. I will definitely use again.

First class service from the initial phone enquiry to receipt of delivery. Even though we were based in Shrewsbury. Trying to find someone who could supply Smartboard Decking was quite a challenge but Rob was quick to quote and deliver within a few weeks due to the amount that we required. I would definitely recommend using Abacus again. Thanks Rob :-)

The lady that helped us load was really nice with a properly positive attitude, shame she had to apologise to my director for the guy sat behind the desk and his abrasive/dismal outlook to his job. Shame really otherwise could of had more atars.

If I could give more thank 5 stars I really would
Today I was meant to be having turf and soil delivered but from 2 different companies as soil was really hard to get hold of, we had the turf delivered and shortly after we had a call from soil suppliers, they wouldn't be able to deliver they had been let down by their supplier
So I had to call around, most places wasn't answering but a lovely lady called Keely answered from here, THEY HAD SOIL but couldn't deliver I explained the predicament I was in, I had turf that was going to die as we had been let down she said
