They messed us about with the delivery of some gravel. We made a huge fuss, got the delivery charge refunded & a £25 voucher too. Well worth complaining

All of the above is a perfect example of why you should support your local independent timber/builders merchant (guess where I work!!)

Generally much much cheaper and definitely more helpful and knowledgeable

Believe me I'm a chippy . Waste of time . Plenty on the net for a extra £20 a panel . I know its a bigger outlay but you will see the difference and life time .

If you do keep the wickies ones , make sure you keep in top of the fence treatment . Also your neighbour will have to do the same .

I had a big delivery of stuff from Wickes back in March. Delivery was free and on time. I wasnt around when they arrived, but they stacked it all on the garage when the OH asked them nicely.

We've got plenty of panels, proper quality and much cheaper than the big boys!! ... Amazes me in the current climate how many tradesmen still insist on paying top dollar for their materials from Wickes, Jewson and Buildbase etc

Just put a feather edge fence up. Quicker stronger and if it's treated will last 10x longer. Looks better too. What ever you do avoid post Crete. Waste of time and money doesn't hold naff all after a few months. Ballast and cement is all that's needed.

Due a delivery today but can't deliver until tomorrow as system failure over weekend delayed order processing.

Anyone else having same problem Herts Beds area?
