To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Outstanding Service
When ordering contactors that were desperately needed to complete works being carried out, Michael Cruickshank assisted with changing my order late afternoon of a Thursday, from a store order to an online-next day order, so rather than wait 2 or 3 days, I was able to get them before 10 AM (actually turned up at 8.45) next day, and we were able to complete without rolling over the weekend. Brilliant service, allround.
