Tight Squeeze Delivery

We had 3 large bags and a pallet of cement delivered today (2nd June, 2026). Ricky the driver from the Bristol depot, was great! He was super friendly and professional and managed to deliver the goods in a really tight space.

We had 2 large bags of play bark delivered on Saturday 30th May. Andy from Wolverhampton - the driver who delivered this, was really helpful and professional, he did everything he could to unload the bags in a really awkward place for him, just to make this easier for us to use. Well done Andy, you are a credit to your company.

Never Answer the Phone/Unhelpful Ppl

Never one time have I been able to get an answer on the phone from the Trehafod branch. They're a load of rubbish. Better customer service and cheaper prices elsewhere.

Well done TP Bodmin!

Priced and ordered timber from Lee.....easy peasey.
Delivered by Kenny who knowing my limitations had to carry a number of pieces of 4.8 decking off the truck to where I needed it.
No problem, a hot and bothered Kenny carried this timber across the road, into my drive and stacked it neatly.
Not the first time and hopefully not the last.
Well done TP Bodmin & thank you Kenny.

Absolutely incredible staff—honest

Absolutely incredible staff—honest, kind, and truly amazing!I had the most wonderful experience at the Travis Perkins branch on Hampton Road, Croydon (CR0 2YG). I went in to buy some wood this morning (Friday, 29 May 2026) between 7:30 and 8:00 AM and was helped by a brilliant young member of staff who went completely above and beyond. His customer service was amazing, and he helped me out so much with what I needed.Later, after leaving, I realized with absolute panic that I had lost my purse containing all of my money. After searching everywhere, I decided to call the depot. To my immense relief, another fantastic member of staff had found it and kept it safe for me. When I went back to pick it up, every single penny was still inside.It is so reassuring to know there are still such honest, good people out there. The team at this branch are incredibly customer-focused and genuinely amazing. I cannot thank them enough! Amanda

Poor aftercare/customer service

I am extremely disappointed with the level of customer service and organisation I have experienced regarding my recent paving block order via the Huyton branch.

From the beginning, communication has been poor. After placing the order for paving blocks, I had to repeatedly chase the branch just to obtain a delivery date.

The first delivery was then delayed due to the driver being sick, which, while unfortunate, was not proactively communicated to us. When the pavers finally arrived, many of the pavers were defective and not fit for use. About 50% of the pallet were broken.

After raising a complaint about the broken pavers, I again had to spend considerable time calling and emailing multiple times before receiving any meaningful response. Eventually, the branch agreed to replace the damaged pavers.

Unfortunately, the replacement process has been even worse. The second delivery was delayed because the driver apparently took a last-minute day off. When the replacement order finally arrived, the wrong colour pavers were delivered.

To make matters worse, when I called the branch on the day of delivery, the staff member I spoke to stated, “I’ve had enough of today,” before saying she would call me back. No call was ever received. We then called again later that day and were promised a call back between 7–8am the following morning. Again, no call came.

We then had to make a further five phone calls the next day before finally receiving a response, only to be told that the correct replacement pavers would not arrive for another six days.

This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and stressful. The project has now completely stalled, and due to the repeated delays and errors, we have missed the good weather window needed to complete the work.

The lack of communication, repeated delivery failures, incorrect products, and poor customer service throughout this process have been unacceptable. I would strongly urge improvements in both customer communication and order management procedures to prevent other customers experiencing the same issues.

Went to Worthing branch today to order decking. Assistant was talking to two customers about stories of bad clients and completely ignored me for 5 minutes so I left and bought my decking elsewhere. Very poor customer service and very rude. I won’t be returning.

Two out of two delivery dates missed from Kendal

Ordered online twice from the Kendal branch, both times the delivery was delayed from the date promised on the website. Notification of the delay was always late, so that I had no option to re-order from anywhere else. No problem with the staff or quality of product, but ignore the promised delivery date if ordering online.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your delivery dates were missed on both occasions and understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly when the delay notifications left you with limited alternative options.

While we’re pleased to hear you were happy with the staff and product quality, we appreciate that the overall experience did not meet expectations due to the delivery issues and communication surrounding them.

We have requested your details so that we can share this directly with our Customer Services team for further investigation. Once received, the team will review the matter and look into the concerns you have raised regarding delivery timelines and updates.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Poor customer service

Requested cancellation of an order the day after purchase and nearly a month later I still had no refund.

The most frustrating part was not the refund itself, but the poor communication and complete lack of problem-solving from both the branch and customer services.

I repeatedly explained that I could not reliably confirm the exact billing details originally entered into the online form because the invoice provided does not display them and modern payment/autofill systems do not necessarily make those details easy to reproduce later. Instead of properly explaining the process or offering alternatives, I was repeatedly asked the same question over and over again.

Only after escalating to customer services was it finally explained that the billing postcode was allegedly required for manual refund authorisation. That information should have been clearly communicated from the beginning.

I also repeatedly asked what happens to uncollected orders and what the automatic cancellation/refund timescale would be, yet this question was ignored multiple times.

Overall the experience felt unnecessarily difficult, poorly communicated, and badly handled for what should have been a very straightforward cancellation request.

As of right now; 26 days later; I still don't have a refund

Don’t use the weekend hire as they rip you off and bill you for a week.

Hired an excavator (delivered from Cheltenham branch) for a weekend and got charged for a week. When I ordered it I told them I wanted it for the weekend. When they delivered it I told them I wanted it for the weekend. But when I called them on Monday to confirm they would collect it on Monday, they booked it for Tuesday collection and charged me for the week.

Raised it with the local staff and heard nothing back. If I knew they were going to charge me that I would not have let them collect it 5days early.

Excavator was good but I’ll not use TP again.

No delivery updates at all

I don't like that they operate in a way that they assume you're going to always be home for them. No SMS, no email, no phone calls... they just deliver without notifying of anything at all. I had to find out they were delivering today by calling them and asking. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been home prepared to receive it.

Hi Alberto, many thanks for your review and we are sorry to read that. Our policy is that customers should be notified on scheduled delivery times. On the day of delivery, customers should receive an SMS advising that the order is out for delivery with an AM or PM window. A second message should be then sent when the order is on route to provide an approximate 20-minute arrival notice. We are happy to look into your situation further if you wish. We'd simply request an email to customerservices@travisperkins.co.uk outlining the issues and including your contact details. Many thanks and our apologies once again.
