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.
Brilliant Company
I have ordered a couple of times from Metres Direct and would highly recommend them. Great customer service and very competitive prices.
You won't be disappointed, give them a call.
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

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

I have made a few orders with Metres Direct and have received a great customer service. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to purchase good-quality skirting boards, architrave etc.
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!

I bought the 3 stepped skirting and architrave from metres direct and I absolutely love it, great value and great quality, would definitely go back to them

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.
All issues resolved
All issues have been resolved thank you to both parties

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
Great company
Great company. Found exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic customer service I had a couple of questions and response was fast and professional would definitely recommend
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
