They also offer trade customers some discount on purchases. There is always plenty of help around to assist with the lifting etc. it is also possible to have goods delivered. The centre also has a lovely showroom showing finished rooms using the goods provided by them. The staff in the showroom are also very friendly and always happy to help.

These are the guys to go to when you're looking for carpets, rugs, tiles, wooden floors, etc…read more They've been doing this for years, and have a small team that can fit the carpets and flooring as well (carpet-fitters are becoming increasingly rare). This is one of those places that relies on returning customers and word-of-mouth, which is why they're one of those local suppliers that have a real focus on customer service (see my Gibson's Butchers and Direct Furniture reviews). For being a small independent retailer, they seem to be able to keep their prices quite reasonable. I was just in to get a mat, but they have carousels of carpet samples as well as different types of wooden flooring on display, and they have another area for floor and wall tiles. The staff were very friendly - down to earth but professional.

Great company for price and even the product, but Serivce is Terrible. We were booked in for Am…read moretime which couldn't be fullfilled so we went for 4pm and still this could not be meet, the workers came at Approximately 5.30. Even though the installation was quick the bedroom had things on the floor and they put the carpet down over the top, bad job and unfinished. I called the following day and I was told they would come out asap afternoon time and no one came. Within 2 days this company managed to let me down 4 times, I tried to call but the company closed at 5pm.

Winston the companies proprietor is primarily a joiner but recently when my mums work had a burst water tank and in turn a huge flood he managed to get the effected rooms ship shape in no time. McCelland and his associates managed to dry the wet beams in the ceiling and make them structurally sound before completing the plastering that got all the staff dancing on the ceiling. Not literally as it needed time to try, this would be silly. Watching the work dry was about the only thing they had to wait on, McCelland was rapid but did the job well. That's to say that the roof has not caved in and the job was completed months ago. They were called in at quite short notice due to the state of the home. If the same urgency was shown by other tradesmen we would have buildings going up more often than Jeremy Kyle does a DNA test. I highly recommend McCelland for any household or business joinery problem.

Martin Phillips Carpets is a typical carpet warehouse operation with lots of on the roll carpets to…read morechoose from and lots of sample books to choose from. Generally they have carpets on the roll at very good prices and it is usual for the prices to be keener on what's in stock. I have and do shop around to see what 's on offer but I must admit I more often than not end up coming back to Martin Phillips as he's local I can save on delivery. They do have a range of wooden flooring on display but I have never purchased any so don't know how they would compare. Being local means I find them useful for all those carpeting and flooring accessories; edging strips, saddles, etc.

Say you are fitting that hot tub you always wanted in your garden, Plumb Centre will provide every part for it and you can have the bikini clad women round in no time.

Really impressed with this newly opened branch of Martin Phillips…read more I moved into my house in earl 2015 and decided to invest in new carpet, initially I got my stairs and landing recarpeted, I visited their showroom on the Woodburn Road and the man I dealt with there was fantastic. The carpet is great and was installed and fitted to a really high standard. A couple of months later I decided to have my hallway and living room re floored with a wooden floor, again I went to Martin Phillips and the service was second to none, wouldn't go anywhere else!

I ordered trees and hedging through Woodcroft Landscapes' online shop and was really impressed with…read morehow easy the process was. The plants arrived healthy, well-packaged, and exactly as described. It's clear their nursery stock is top quality and well cared for. On top of that, I've seen some of the landscaping projects they've completed, and the standard of work looks excellent, professional, tidy, and built to last. You can tell they take real pride in both the plants they grow and the gardens they create. Between the convenience of the online shop and the craftsmanship of their landscaping, Woodcroft Landscapes is a company I'd highly recommend.

Tile Works is an easy place to miss even though it sits on the main road through Balloo Industrial…read moreEstate. From the outside, the building looks small and gives the impression that they don't have a large range of stock. However, once inside you quickly realise that they carry and extensive range of tiles, from cheap as chips basics to posh as you like. They gave made very good use of the space available to them and have loads on display without making the place feel claustrophobic. The staff are pleasant, cheerful and very helpful. My only real complaint is that going on the measurements I gave them for my tiling needs (which were accurate) they over supplied me but said that it was OK cos I could return what wasn't used. The Tiler we employed, (recommended by Tile Works) took a good few weeks to start the job and when he was finished we were left with quite a lot extra. When we tried to return them for a refund we were told that they couldn't take them back because the batch number had changed in between. So I have been left with a few hundred pounds worth of extra tiles. All I all, I would still recommend them for the range that they carry but would warn people be wary of over buying.

I have probably driven past this business many times and didn't even know it existed. We were…read moretrying to source some extra tiles that we had purchased a while back and TileWorks was recommended. Easy to find when you know where to look, good parking at the front doors. I went in and two men looked up from behind a high counter, at first I thought I was in the wrong place, even though everywhere was Tiled, but then I told them what I was looking for and one went off to have a look out in the stock room. From looking around the reception seems they do lots of variety of bespoke tiles for anywhere you would like to tile. I paid for my tiles and the guy insisted on lifting them out to the car for me. I'm sure my purchase was one of the smallest that they would get, but still great customer service.
