Really good reliable company. Highly recommended.
I used them quite a few times while refurbishing a kitchen. Outstanding service and outstanding products. Everything was first class. The delivery company they use are not great - just left packages propped up against front door. All in all though - 5 stars.

Excellent product.
The product is excellent. The sizing and cutting to size is very useful.
Be cautious of the website, it is a nuisance in that if you go back to review anything it re-sets to its default setting. You need to be careful that it hasn't changed anything or you will find yourself paying £30 for a 100mmx 50mm piece of material!
