While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

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. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Got exactly what I needed.... and more

I had a great first over-the-counter experience at CEF Ruislip. I didn't need very much but had to get a breaker, cleats and SWA, all of which was in stock. I got given more cable than I needed which was just as well as it allowed me to reposition my equipment. I've since done a web order for a D Curve MCB which are not easy to come by. CEF delivered it from stock. I'm very pleased!
