“We bought a water butt because of the reviews online. Ordering was easy and delivery quick. There were useful suggestions for installation on the website which we used. The actual water butt is a great design and we’ve used it regular over the summer. Would definitely recommend.”

Water Butts Direct 5 star review on 22nd September 2022

Helpful Report

“I needed some 20mm Water Butt hose. Quite hard to find what I wanted at a reasonable price. I wanted 3 m length - a number of suppliers sold only in 5m or 10m - wasteful expense! Many suppliers only offering over either Amazon or Ebay - neither my favourites! Water Butts supplied exactly what I wanted at a competitive price, including free (R Mail) delivery. The hose was delivered within 3 days, no hassle, no problems. I would recommend Water Butts Direct and will certainly buy from them again.”

Helpful Report

“Delivery took longer than stated on the website. There were valid reasons for this; the sourcing company being on holiday when the order was made and a post office strike. However, communication for the reason for the delay could have been better; two calls were needed to get the pertinent information. The water butt itself is lovely; a good shape, fitting colour, suits the location for which it was targetted. I like the fact that it is made of recycled plastic and that it is British made. Most of the fittings are of good quality. However, there is one error where a significant improvement could be made. The connections to a downpipe diverter do not fit the screw thread and are of a pale cream colour which is so not in keeping with the overall product. We ended up drilling a separate hole for the diverter equipment we had (see attached photo). I am genuinely pleased with the rest of the product. It appears a glaring area of neglect in design.”
