“Generally speaking pleased and it was easy to set up the water butts. However, we bought two and on one the tap did not fit properly except when turned the wrong way up. Needed string and sealant to work without dripping. Arrived in good time.”

Helpful Report

“Product arrived promptly despite Royal Mail strikes, thank you”

Helpful Report

“Butt delivered within time frame quoted. Instructions for putting it together almost non existent. Thankfully have someone who is very DIY friendly so could work out what to do. Pump not designed for use in butt as you have to remove the electric plug to pass through the hole provided for the cable. Now it is installed it does look very good though and I'm pleased.”

Helpful Report

“Good product well packaged and sadly delivered the only reason it’s not 5 stars is that it wasn’t in stock at the point of order but approx 10 day wait so not bad”

Helpful Report

“Water butt arrived quickly and it and the diverter was easy to install. Unfortunately it’s leaking around the tap. I’ve already drained it (all 250L) to make sure I hadn’t missed screwing something on the inside (I hadn’t) and tightened it up and it’s still leaking. I’m waiting for some Plumber’s mait putty to arrive to seal the leak.”

Helpful Report

“Whilst the water but is fine I had to purchase a rather expensive brass replacement tap , as the plastic one provided continuously leaked and then broke off.”

Helpful Report

“Parts were delivered as ordered and did the job! Thanks”

Helpful Report

“The water butt was exactly as described in the excellent details given on the website. It arrived earlier than expected and we are very pleased with it.”

Helpful Report

“a good selection of goods and a great service”

Helpful Report

“Delivery same day 2 separate delivery. The butt and the down pipe water conector. The hose with the Gutter Mate is very short, only if you have the butt next to the pipe is it long enough You can all way cut down a hose, but not make it longer. It or to be supplied with a 1 m house. The price covers the increase by 500mm.”

Water Butts Direct 4 star review on 24th August 2022

“Quick service”

Helpful Report

“Very happy for the service”

Helpful Report

“Only small issue was the stand, which I don’t need. But was not able to deduct from my purchase, so I have a large lump of plastic going to landfill. Otherwise all good”

Helpful Report

“Decent service. Products arrived within a week. Documentation for installation could be better. Had to search YouTube . But probably would have to do that anyway.”

Helpful Report

“The water butt seems sturdy enough but of course there has been zero rain since it was delivered. My only criticism and the reason I docked one star on the rating is that the two holes on the lid to lift it look as though they've been made by some creature as the cuts are very ragged and sharp - my guess is that they should have been filed or sanded down before leaving the factory but for some reason this wasn't done. But a minor detail, really, all in all this seems like a good buy.”

Helpful Report

“A very strong product with good dimensions. Only issue we had was the wing nut which secures the tap to the water butt was missing. Replacement sent immediately issue was identified. Easy to install we just need the rain!!!”

Helpful Report

“Excellent delivery service. The item was well packaged when it arrived. Looks very stylish although it is wider than I thought. The planter is deeper than I expected and will need a fair quantity of compost and plants to fill it.”

Helpful Report

“Good service and happy with the product. Just waiting for some rain to start filling it. Found the fitting of the hose to the drain pipe difficult and had to saw a little more off the drainpipe to enable it to attach, but it looks good and will be a benefit to my garden.”

Helpful Report

“Always easier to be wise after purchase. I would have prefered the option of an alternative connection to the rainwater downpipe cutting a section from the downpipe is not so easy when either end is fixed what could have been a 10-minute job took 2 hours. All done now The Butt seems good quality along with the stand. Time will tell.”

Helpful Report

“Lightweight, quite well made. From a distance looks like a real terracotta pot. Didn’t know you have to make a hole in it yourself. Not sure how many years it will last outside, time will tell of course. Shame the stand looks so cheap and nasty and black.”
