“Our water butt arrived quickly and ready prepared for any easy set up. We appreciated not having to fiddle around putting the tap in ourselves. Also the water butt had holes pre drilled making fitting the diverter kit so simple.”

Helpful Report

“Very good thank you”

Helpful Report

“Bought the 100 litres butt with a stand. Delivered as advised and now in place. Appears robust and as its made from recycled plastic and has a 5 year guarantee we suspect it will meet our needs.”

Helpful Report

“Neat and compact. I hadn't realised the drainpipe connector wouldn't fit my downpipe and had to get another. I had no problem fitting it and the water butt is now in place waiting for the weekend's forecast rain.”

Helpful Report

“Came when it said it would. It would have been very helpful if the top hole for the downspout attachment had been predrilled and plugged. Needed special tool to drill hole which I didn't have. Looks good now in place.”

Helpful Report

“Delivery was within the stated time. It is good that you get not only the water butt but also a stand and rainwater harvesting kit that others supply as extras. Not five stars as there was a lot of "flashing" around the water entry and tap holes that had to be removed to ensure a good seal.”

Helpful Report

“Quick efficient service. All very good. The only minor downside, the tap on the water butt has a very slight drip.”

Helpful Report

“Excellent product (300L Slim Stone Butt). Slight problem that GM8 (not WBD) ignored my request for a delay in delivery, Otherwise would have been 5*.”

Helpful Report

“Things didn't go quite to plan as I was advised the supplier firstly had issues with delayed delivery and subsequently had no stock or materials, so the order would take two months to arrive! Fortunately, stock did turn up, and the water butt arrived one month after ordering. I was kept informed and the outcome was better than predicted. The water butt is great. It was annoying to have to wait for something trhat you were led to believe was a stock item. Hence not 5 stars.”

Helpful Report

“No update informing of dispatch I was only informed on the day of delivery. Otherwise very happy with the service and product.”

Helpful Report

“Delivered quickly after I made the order. But, I would have liked a text message to let me know when the delivery was due.”

Helpful Report

“Following a short delay due to out of stock my water butt arrived. The base is in two halves and merely locks together to form a good solid support. I have linked this to an existing butt and the parts I ordered came with the main delivery of the butt. Easily linked up and secure. Just need it to rain now! One of the anvil clips securing the lid to the butt was damaged I contacted the supplier who kindly posted a full set of clips to me. The product is now complete. Excellent customer service and product. Fits nicely next to my existing water butt and both are the same. Thanks.”

Helpful Report

“Nice product, delivery a little slow.”

Hi Deborah Elliott, We apologise your order was dispatched late. Due to the bank holiday, We have been working very hard catching up on orders. We hope this information helps. Kind regards, Water Butts Direct

“Good but not enough options for inlet pipe.”

Helpful Report

“Slimline black water butt purchased. Very happy with it but lid very difficult to get off. Also, haven't used 3-part stand as prefer my old water butt's solid , 1-part stand.”

Helpful Report

“Ordering simple. Emailed to ask when it would be shipped and was told already on it’s way. Excellent quick delivery. Only gave four stars as I was expecting an email to let me know it had been shipped. Would definitely order again from Water Butts Direct.”

Helpful Report

“Easy to fit once you get the lid off and get the attachments out.”

Helpful Report

“All looks good. Simple to erect and fit together but no rain to fill it yet..Good value and well made..Happy..”

Helpful Report

“The water butt was delivered after pre-ordering, so took a while to come, but turned up unexpectedly early on a Saturday morning without warning. So a message the day before would have been useful. The water butt itself is good quality and I managed to hook it up to a downpipe without too many problems. Thanks.”

Helpful Report

“Product as described . Arrived well packed only negative , no notice of delivery in advance so lucky I was at home when the delivery guy turned up .”
