Driver went above and beyond
It was easy to order and pay online. I was given clear information about delivery date and time. The driver went above and beyond as he placed the sleepers just where I wanted them to build my raised veg bed. Thankyou Helston Bradfords.

Great Attitude All Round !!
To be honest, we as a company have been using Bradfords Helston Branch since it opened and I can honestly say what a great bunch of people and always happy to help. However, I must say that Steve Carter is a star. Knowledgeable, kind and a very personable guy who always goes above and beyond to help and genuinely, nothing is too much trouble. Steve often takes time to explain products and offers advice for various substitutions for projects that we have on the go. Thank you.

Another successful delivery!
Another successful delivery (we live on a residential park home estate and the road ways are narrow, deliveries can be stressful!)
Driver was friendly and helpful, happy to tuck timber at the back of our property rather just unloading it on the nearest spot!

Staff were very good.
Staff were very good but the price for 1.8m gravel boards is expensive. I have purchased a 3m gravel board from a timber merchant for £6.

Good Morning
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.

Very good service
Very good service, despite the driver arriving a tad early for me @ 08.00, so Tina had a bit of shock seeing a semi clad old man at the time of the morning. Trust her day improved!!!
Brought all of the items purchased up the drive and closed the gate behind her. Can't ask for more than that.
