Absolutely abhorrent company!

Absolutely abhorrent company, GO ELSEWHERE.

Courier had “misplaced” one of the packages (despite being 3m long) and because SkirtingBoards.com couldn’t make a claim against them, have told me that they won’t be sending replacement boards or any form of partial refund. Just happy for £360+ of goods to disappear with no recourse to anyone.

Customer service has been non-existent, I’m constantly told I’d be updated but have to call daily myself. It’s basically concluded that nothing will be done, and that’s that. I also suspect that James is the only person in the company given he happens to answer the 3 different phone numbers the company holds. Suspect.

Basically, they’re cheap and you get what you pay for. A terrible service and in this case, completely out of pocket.

MATHEW INGHAM DESIGN bargained the price to a minimum:

"you are a little more expensive than a couple of your competitors. Is there anything you can do about that?"

Then came back 1 month after delivery claiming that some boards were missing.

If i could give this company Zero stars…

If i could give this company Zero stars i would. Placed an order with the company and have been fobbed off about delivery. Have been promised the goods on 2 occasions now and still not arrived. The Sales Director is full of BS and very unhelpful.
USE ANOTHER COMPANY.

Dear Stuart,

We make every effort to keep customers happy and have done so for more than 10 years.

However, we do not tolerate abuse of our staff for failed delivery attempts by our couriers.

The boards are 5.4m long and, therefore, requires a large vehicle to deliver them. The courier tried to deliver your goods twice but the vehicle was too large for the street. We do ask in our terms (and confirm on the phone) that the delivery address is suitable for a large vehicle (given the length of the boards)

We can see that your order has now been refunded in full.

Regards,
SkirtingBoards.com

Excellent product and service.

Ordered 15m oak skirting and archtraving for two doors for a bedroom project. Had a really helpful conversation with James. I was tremedously impressed both the the board themselves and the obvious care that went into their packing for shipping. The finished project looks great too.

Victorian Skirting Boards

My wife and I ordered some Victorian skirting boards from Shen Group Ltd, and were most impressed with the courteous, efficient customer care. We are delighted with the quality of the boards. We found the company very responsive to our requests, and would recommend SkirtingBoards.com to anyone contemplating replacing or adding Victorian style skirting boards. Alistair Borthwick, Devon

Very pleased with the quality of the skirting and arch. I ordered enough to do the first room and then onto the rest of the house. Lengths are long and consistent quality throughout.

Clearly get what you pay for, considering what I've received elsewhere beforehand. Buy smart!

Used skirtingboards.com many times and always been happy. Staff always willing to help choose and discuss options as I had no idea what to order!

Hard to believe how they delivered such large pieces and so quickly. Very pleased and happy to recommend them any time.

My regular and trusted supplier

It pains me to hear silly stories about my reliable and honest suppliers - particularly when it couldn't be farther from the truth. We've been asked to tell you how about our experiences, so here it is.

We fit out HUGE and famous retail outlets in the centre of London, and have used skirtingboards.com for years in doing so. Most things are custom made, they are fantastic quality and cater for each of our requirements.

Of course there can be delays on occasion - but these have always been down to the courier - anyone worth their salt knows that couriers are the bain of society, but a necessary evil - and without them we'd never get anything anywhere - BUT they often get stuck in traffic, on motorways, in floods, in events or whatever, because they travel all over the country to get wherever they are going.

As for the products - you can't fault the products, quality, finish and range. Don't go 'cheap' as you'll be left £££s out of pocket when these copycats don't front with the quality of goods they promise and you end up buying it twice!

Trust those who have been in the business and know what they're doing.

Skirting boards.com Unreasonable. Rude and no aftercare

Skirting boards.com - unreasonable, rude and really poor service...

I ordered The Cardiff profile and received something entirely different. This company will not accept that they are in the wrong. I appreciate that mistakes happen but to be treated this way is completely out of order....

Just had the worst customer service I have ever experienced from any company. I am mortified by the way I was dealt with. I have been waiting over two weeks for a resolution. I have had to chase them directly to speak to some one with the promise of phone calls back. Not one call back. The most senior person at the time spoke to me with contempt today (after I phoned them again ) and he couldn't wait to get off the phone with me as he didn't even care that the problem was holding up a renovation.

I have emailed pictures and shown comparisons which clearly show they have sent me the wrong skirting boards.

The man in particular made some very rude comments that the profiles shown on the website are " not CAD drawings" really belittling my request to sort this out. I asked twice to revisit the profile that I ordered and he refused giving me some waffle that they sent out what I ordered originally ( a different profile may I add)

I also asked to speak/ email the managing director, which I was abruptly told that I could get the info from Google??? Bear in mind I was already speaking to a person who apparently worked for the company and couldn't be bothered to tell me any information.

The company's reputation is in the hands of the in individual. Awful person. Awful business practice.

I now know that skirting boards.com do not care.

Customer regretfully confused boards supplied by a different company with ours, which we endeavoured to resolve, but instead received this review.

Our staff maintained polite communication throughout, as shown in email extracts below:

===
Customer:
> as per my conversation this morning please find attached a photo of the profile for the skirting we've received

Staff:

> That is certainly the Cardiff profile, see our CAD drawing attached.
> This is the same profile that was produced and delivered for your previous order (back in March).
> [you have] previously ordered Adrian with us, did you mean to order more of that instead?

> I hope you are well. Please accept my apologies if you did not receive my last e-mail but are you able to take a photograph of the new boards next to the old boards when possible?

> It would be best if we can get the two profiles side by side for what was actually produced.

[photos received comparing our boards to 'old' boards]

> Thanks for sending the profile image across.
> The first board looks substantially thicker than the boards we have
> previously supplied on each order to you (18mm). Putting the issue of the
> profile aside for a moment are you sure you have ordered the boards from us
> each time or was this purchased from one of our competitors? We have only
> ever produced 18mm for you but that looks quite a bit thicker, perhaps
> about 25mm?


Customer:
> Just measured the [old] board and yes it is 25mm.
> The problem we have is that I ordered what I believed to be the Cardiff skirting as shown on your website.

==
We did not supply the old boards in question, which explains why they looked different.
We would therefore recommend that anyone comparing profile names from different companies request a sample from us before ordering.

very efficient

I was able to find the skirting boards I was looking for quickly and the delivery and execution were great. Would use again.
