**Disappointing Service

**Disappointing Service – The Main Issue Was the Delay Caused to Our Project**

We purchased PIR insulation boards for an active construction project. Unfortunately, the boards arrived in very poor and significantly damaged condition.

Before delivery, we were told that photos would be sent to us so we could check the condition and decide whether to accept the boards. The photos were never sent. We were then told by Chris that **5 boards would be delivered instead of the 4 ordered** to compensate for the damage. This did not happen either—we received only 4 damaged boards.

The biggest problem was not simply receiving damaged materials; it was the **delay and disruption this caused to our project**. We ordered these boards because we needed them on site to keep the work progressing. Returning them for collection and then having to source replacements would cause even further delays.

We contacted the company hoping for a practical solution, such as a reasonable discount for keeping the damaged boards, but the only solution offered was collection. This did nothing to address the time already lost or the additional delay caused to our project.

As a construction company, we rely on suppliers delivering materials as agreed and on time. When promises are made regarding the condition and quantity of materials, we expect them to be honoured. Unfortunately, in this case, the poor communication and failure to deliver what was agreed caused us unnecessary delays, disruption and additional costs.

A very disappointing experience.

Excellent customer service

I called FWDirect with a slightly unusual query about a floor I had recently fitted that wasn't suitable and needed some underlay. Chris couldn't have been more helpful. He spent almost half an hour on the phone with me going through all the options to make sure I bought the right product. Knowing I needed the product ASAP, he made a call to ensure I could get it immediately. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Can't fault them

I wanted to buy Kingspan insulation but had questions about the delivery and FWD was the only company to email me back. In fact, Chris replied within minutes with every question I had and was so helpful. It made me feel comfortable ordering with this company and the items were here within a week, in perfect condition. I'll definitely order from here again.

Karma Soundlay Plus 12mm Matting (c.£1200 order)

I placed 2 separate orders with FW Direct for 12mm Karma Soundlay insulation matting. I ordered around £500 worth which arrived 2-3 days later and used this to reduced footfall and vocal noise in a bedroom where there was no insulation between the joists and I didn't want to lift the whole floor. It worked so well I went back and bought another 26sqm worth for the back bedrooms where I was lifting the floor and replacing the underlay. It was worked a treat. I dealt with Josh who was great and informative. I basically worked out this is a better product with more mass than all of the other firms 15mm products. Easy to fit. Lifting 34 sheets up the stairs is a decent workout too. Thanks.
