Looks good but a couple of complaints; 1. of the glasing bars was dented before it had been wrapped in clinfilm, insufficient time to swap out when you have fitters waiting to install. 2. Not enough reather membrane tape supplied. Results another days labour at additional cost.

bought polycarbonate roof sheets measurement were 1045 mm wide so my car port was built to this spec the width was actually 1058 mm wide so it all had to be dismantled and done again costing me more money

Thank you for the review I can see this is the only order on the account this year and it was for some hockey board. The pandemic and inflation has no doubt affected prices since 2019, but we keep a keen eye on the market and will take a look at this 250mm Hockey Board in particular for the next edition of the catalogue because of your feedback We look forward to seeing you again Yours C & A Building Products

Dear Customer (as you requested to stay anonymous on the review) I have looked up your order for the 3.5M glazing bars recently that was purchased on the 19-06-2023 and we had to send on our own transport due to the recent collapse of the carrier firm Tuffnells that is widely reported in the news. This order was delivered on the 4th July on our own vehicle ensuring it arrived in one piece. We are sorry this delivery was outside ideal timescales, however we did manage to get them there as quickly as possible giving the unfolding unusual circumstances We carry a range of large materials that are not always available more locally, and logistics issues like this may cause delays, however we are normally in your area or weymouth every other week with our own vehicle for large items carriers just can not handle and this may be best for future planning of your jobs. We hope that the rest of the job went well with these two Avon 35/40mm glazing bars, although I notice there were not sheets or anything else on the order to accompany them. Yours C & A Building Products

Ordered guttering. My order had 50% correct parts and 50% wrong parts (they were correct on the delivery note but the contents didn't agree) - I guess the picker at C&A just picked the wrong parts. I phoned and replacements were sent a few days later. This time the parts were correct but they supplied 2, not the 3 on the order. I bought a third one locally, it isn't expensive.

The corrugated plastic sheets that I installed on my elderly sisters roof 5 years ago have turned black and unsightly while letting very little light in , I’ve now got to replace them and at 73 and now living 100 miles from her it’s a real pain. Although fitted 5 years ago the discolouration started quite a while back, was they in a faulty batch or can I expect the replacements to go the same ?

Hi Thank you for the review, from looking at the photo it would appear that these sheets are on an enclosed structure who no ventilation around the sheets. Looking as if these have been used on a conservatory style building lean too it would also appear that there are either blinds or insulation under the sheet's, or in extreme case's it could be that the room is not ventilated adequately. In effect these sheets have been baked and so the ageing process is then rapidly accelerated from them not being used in their servicable. and as with a cake analagy if it is exposed to temperatures much grater than the designed servicability the do bake and change colour. Given you are unlikely going to wish to change the use of this room significantly, it would not be recommended to use PVC corrugated for this type of enclosed application. Yours C&A Building Products

THE POLYCARBONATE SHEET GAVE LESS THAN PERFECT RESULTS: USED FOR FORWARD FACING SLOPING BOAT WINDOWS THERE WAS SOME DISTORTION. tHESE WERE 6MM SHEET THAT HAD A SLIGHT CURVE. IT WAS EASY TO CUT WITH A FINE METAL CUTTING JIGSAW BLADE RUNNING AT MEDIUM SPEED. DRILLING WAS ALSO EASY. SANDING WAS DONE WITH A SLOW RUNNING OLD STYLE SANDING DISC IN A BATTERY DRILL.

The product price was at least certainly on par with many of the other PVC suppliers that I use. The delivery was lightning fast and days ahead of other suppliers. The PVC itself is where my delivery kinda fell over. The PVC sheet was the right colour and the size but the protective sheet on the good side was completely removed on 1 of the 3 and partially on the remaining 2. Not ideal when I still needed to cut this down to smaller size and machine marks are almost certainly going to make an impact on the finished product. Ashame as this was the trial run for a larger order I have to make in the new year.

1st phone was told I could not order coving as not in stock for bout four weeks, when I rang again to see if I could order it, I was told there was no delay, so not sure of the 1st confusion. Ordered via the phone and sai d it would come in about five days. I have not received any confirmation of this sale although the money has been taken from my account. But then, I have not chased for this yet as been very busy

I have used the brown Avon plastic roofing system and my main complaint is that it goes white and twists after a few years as it’s not UV light resistant. It really should be as it’s inevitably going to be used in a location where it will get full sunlight. The result is that after a few years it all has to be replaced. Why C&A can’t make it UV resistant I cannot imagine. A similar product from Screwfix is UV resistant and I used that on a roof in 2006 and it still looks good. I don’t think I will use the C&A product again to be honest.

I gave the overall dimensions to your staff requesting that one side of the roof will abutting a parapet wall and the opposite side it will be the open lean-to. Looking at the catalogue supplied an "F" section would have been more useful. I also queried the sheet ends 6 supplied only 3 required, I did query this with the staff and was told the section is required at both ends, having received the items it is obvious to me this section is only required at the bottom of the sheet.

Great initial support but let down by poor delivery communication. Our delivery didn’t turn up on the day promised, I had to call to get an update and the delivery slipped by 2 days. Warning, don’t book builders based on promises.

Hi please could you provide information on your order so i can investigate this for you. Some additional information which may help is that we do advise that trade people should not be booked until materials have arrived as sometimes things may go wrong. We do stipulate approximate delivery times scales and always call the day before we expect to make your delivery. On our distance runs the lorry leaves the yard on a Monday and returns on a Friday so giving and exact delivery day a week or so in advance is not possible as the delivery routes are all optimised and the drivers only have 9 hours driving time per day.

Facia and soffit was fine but I wanted to get roof rubber kit when I phoned to get extra fittings I was told they couldn't do that so I bought it some where else

Ordering was an easy online process but delivery was slow , I know we were in trying times but it wasn’t until I called that my delivery seemed to then happen , excuses about off sick drivers and no timescale given as to when my delivery was coming I wouldn’t of minded if it was free delivery but I paid for delivery, once delivery was underway calls from the driver etc was excellent
