BTP very helpful in supplying a pallet of floor leveller. I needed it on the Saturday, but didn’t want it sitting on the driveway for several days. I called and they recommended ordering for Thursday to give a day’s grace in case of any delivery issues. In the event the pallet arrived on Thursday as requested. Reliable and good value
Great service and delivery! Ordered all that I needed in one go and it was delivered to the back door wrapped and protected from the snow! Pallet even made it so that the goods were dry off the ground.
Great prices and a super quick delivery turnaround. Communication was perfect aswell. So much so I’ve ordered again.
