Excellent Service and Quality from Meters Direct!
I recently ordered skirting boards from Meters Direct and couldn't be happier with my experience.

The skirting boards themselves are great quality, and the delivery was incredibly fast and efficient.

What truly stood out was their exceptional customer service. I realised I had ordered one less skirting board than I needed, and when I contacted them, they were incredibly helpful and understanding, offering to assist immediately.

I highly recommend Meters Direct for their quality products and fantastic support!

Great service from Metres Direct

Great service from Metres Direct. I’ve ordered from them a few times over the years and never had any issues. Most recently, they helped resolve a profile mismatch quickly and improved the lead time when I needed additional lengths urgently. Responsive, helpful, and professional throughout. Highly recommend.

Not great

Not great, skirting meant to be 145mm (anything from 140 - 145mm) to up 5mm gaps in height!
Nightmare to install, many lengths were warp, damaged and had to waste lot.
Paid for prime, quick slap job (save ££ and DIY) can't do any worse
Not recommended

Reply from Metres Direct

Hi Chi, appreciate the review. Sorry to hear you've had issues. Assume the height differential is on the ends of the boards? As you have ordered softwood the majority of boards will be longer to allow for wastage. Please get in touch and we will happily cover any costs incurred due to the issues you've had.

Cheers,

Joe

Always really helpful and quick delivery

Have purchased from Metres Direct before, always really helpful and their range is great. Delivery always quick. I needed just one additional skirting board having not ordered enough. Spoke with Joe Phillips who was excellent. Waived the minimum order amount and delivery charge of £16 is great vs some of their competitors who wanted in excess of £25. Thanks Joe.

Wouldn’t use anyone else!

Wouldn’t use anyone else and recommend them to family/friends, all the time. We have an ongoing (aren’t they always!) house project, have had 10+ door architraves and endless metres of skirting. I love the primed option, anything that saves an extra bit of painting for me is a bonus. Selection is great, prices even better and comms are fantastic. Recent delivery was a bit of a hiccup, but that was courier related. Joseph was responsive to calls and emails with accurate info to assist in its resolution. Thank you

Excellent Choice, Reliable Service

I've ordered from Metres Direct multiple times now for skirting board and architrave, and I'm consistently impressed.
They have a huge selection to choose from, plus fantastic customisation options to get exactly the look you want.
Delivery is always quick and efficient, and the team is really helpful with any questions I've had.
Highly recommended!

Brilliant Company

Metres direct is a truly wonderful company to deal with. Joe and the team are professional and courteous, very good at keeping customers up to date with orders which are completed quickly and to a exceptionally high standard. I have ordered from them on a number of occasions with no issues whatsoever and could not recommend them highly enough.

Absolutely outstanding company

Absolutely outstanding company. There products are 1st class, I had a small issue with the courier company losing part of my order. But meters direct, rectified it immediately. Joseph Phillips not only phoned me to resolve the issue but kept in constant contact through email. You sir are a credit to your company

Great customer service & prices

Great customer service and very competitive prices, even gave additional discount.
I was having difficulty trying to find a particular skirting board to match others in my house that were 9/10 years old and these guys were able to deliver!
Would have no hesitation using this company again, thanks for solving my problem.

Hi Martin

Thanks for your review.

It's a shame we have ended up with the negative feedback due to DX losing one of the parcels. We've spent time and money manufacturing your order, they have let us down also. Not to mention the cost to re-make the lost boards.

Assume you will be leaving them feedback ?

Like we do for every lost item, we will re-make the boards. I have tried to contact you but can't seem to get a response.

Thanks,

Joe

Much better than the massive rival I tried with who couldn't actually tell me the lengths of skirting board I could expect to receive, plus charging almost a 3rd more for roughly the same thing. Needed to amend the order, Joseph was in touch 9am Monday morning with an answer. So far, very impressed. Thanks very much

Do Not use this Company

I ordered 2 lengths of 190mm skirting board, not arrived on the seventh day as stated so phoned to ask about the order , the guy answered my query , delivery was next day, but tbh he didn't come over as very friendly. However not important compared to quality of my order. One 3.9m length was ok but the other one was badly split for almost the whole length.
I decided to keep the order because I won't be using the whole length and it's going in a cupboard area so mostly won't be seen. If I had needed it for a main room it would have had to go back. Very disappointed with the quality and it wasn't cheap either. There were a couple of dings as well but no comparison to the split and it went through to the other side, so no I won't be using them again.

Update May 12th.
While accepting Joe's reply about delivery date and business working days I don't accept that the board was completely free of defects on dispatch and blaming transport is a bit lame.
Also I accepted delivery and did not wish to return due to the hassle I also did NOT ask for any compensation or refund. I just put in a honest review of my experience.
I thought Joe's offer of a refund of one board was kind and thoughtful but alas I think Joe wrote that purely for the readers to show the company in a good light . I NEVER received any refunds , so Joe, thanks a bunch mate.
BEWARE DO NOT use this company

Hi Gareth, thank you for taking the time to review your purchase.

A couple of pointers if I may;

Delivery - Delivery is stated as 3 - 7 working days, your order was placed on the 27th March and delivered on the 4th April. This is 6 working days from order date. You're getting confused with calendar days as opposed to working days.

Quality - The condition the product arrived in isn't the same condition it was when it left our factory. As you can appreciate to get your item to you we have to use a logistics network, in this case DX. From time to time items do get damaged in transit, we're very open about this on our delivery page and state that if any item arrives damaged we will manufacture replacement's. We have even had orders arrive completely snapped clean in half, this clearly isn't the condition they have left us in. Thankfully 99% of our customers understand this happens, I have to say in over a decade of business online, you're the first customer to leave us a review based on transport damage. I feel perhaps, your expectations are unachievable in today's world.

It sounds like you don't need the board so in this case, instead of a replacement I will just refund the one board.

All the best.

Joe

Updated 12th May.

Gareth is 100% correct, no refunded was made to date. Name on the order wasn't the name on Trustpilot, now this has been confirmed the refund of one board has been made.

Cheers,

Joe

First time I have used Metres Direct and I can tell you it won’t be the last. Great company with quality products and very reasonably priced.
From the moment I placed my order the communication has been brilliant and the staff are very helpful.
I asked for a certain day for my delivery and they have accommodated me perfectly.
Will definitely use again.
