“Howarth Timber were a pleasure to deal with. I spoke to both the online ordering team and my local store and they could not have been more helpful. My order was delivered very quickly and the quality and value for money was great. I will be ordering from Howarth again, they'll be my first choice for bulk timber orders now!”
“Great staff, feels like a small family business as the communication is great, they ring you, pleasant and prices and delivery is excellent - used more than once and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you.”
“Went in today with my daughter and was very impressed with the service we received. Big thank you to Matio ( sorry if spelt wrong ) patience of a saint.
Tracy and Mum”
“Easy to order on line when talking to staff on the phone they were helpful and knowledgeable and the delivery driver was polite friendly and very helpful the quality of products I received was excellent”
“Competitive prices, very good communication. One product not available at time of order, very helpful in suggesting suitable alternative. Will use again in future”
“Even though I completely messed up my order (basic schoolboy measuring error), they corrected my mistake with no fuss or bother!. They said it was just their normal customer service!.
They can also cut wood you buy to fit in your vehicle. Definitely my port of call for my next project.”
“I have had goods delivered by Howarth and been to the shop. Both experiences were very positive, staff were helpful, friendly and gave practical, trustworthy advice that was based on my needs rather than just to sell me something, which is always something I like, especially in this day and age! It was also great that myself and my son were allowed to pick our own bags and put them in the car ourselves, although this isn't what everyone wants, it was fun picking our stock and loading up! Staff would have done this but we wanted to do it ourselves. Would use Howarth for all my supplies in future and staff were also really good at showing an interest in my sons specialist interests and took 'talking tools' seriously with him, which again is hard to get anywhere these days! Thanks”
“A very straight forward order and delivery system with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The delivery driver was excellent - he unloaded my order and placed it next to the job - he was really polite and helpful. Great work, thank you.”
“Got helpful advice in the yard (and a short piece of timber to take home and check with), ordering online was easy, delivery within three days with helpful driver, all around good service. Happy customer, will certainly use again.”
“I ordered a bulk bag of 20mm limestone which was delivered on 16 July. When I came to use this I found that there was a substantial amount of sand in with this. Please see attached photo. Luckily the area where I most used this wasn't readily visible, although I did have to selectively pick through some of the non sandy gravel to use in certain areas. I don't know why this happened but it is annoying and very disappointing.
I emailed the branch and got the following reponse:
Apologies for this. I can only assume there must have been loose product at the end of the bay and the limestone has been contaminated when the operator has bagged it with the bucket. Do you require anymore material ?
I don't need any more materials at this time and so was told "Next time you require any materials, please contact me (Darren) directly and I will compensate you in the value of the purchase."”
“Ordered 5 lengths of skirting board online very reasonably priced. Went to collect them but they were behind some delivered pallets of timber etc the person takes with getting them for me was not happy and made it very clear, tutting and huffing dragging his feet and muttering under his breath how he’s now got to move all this just to get my purchase”
“Needed some windowsill plastic, explained it to Chris behind the counter and he knew exactly what I wanted. Showed me the different types and even cut it to length and carried to my car for me.
Fantastic service with a friendly atmosphere .”
“Very happy with my dealings with Howarth Timber,ordered a large amount of decking products which was an easy process from start to delivery,I missed a few items of my list but with a quick phone call they were added to my order even though my delivery was due the next day,I was kept informed regarding the delivery which arrived the day,quality products and a brilliant service from start to finish,I will definitely be using Howarth Timber again in the future and would recommend to anybody,thank you”
