From the very first visit to PGR…

From the very first visit to PGR in search of cladding options I experienced professional, friendly advise, guidance and assistance from the staff, and in particular Ashley Pierson.
From my experience I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I have completed the project (recladding our home) and am extremely happy with the result and whole journey to get to this end result!
Thank you to PGR Timber for your input.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, easy ordering on the website kept informed by the sales team, all materials in stock and delivered on the day of request. The order was received as promised and the delivery driver was more than helpful. I would certainly recommend PGR to others.

Great service from PGR

Great service from PGR. I just needed two replacement floorboards of different lengths. However as one was too small for delivery we ordered one extra long length instead. Delivery was quick and on the due day PGR called to say that the length we ordered was not good enough to send as slightly warped so they could send different lengths if that suited us. That’s exactly what they did and we were more than happy. Excellent customer service. I would not hesitate to use them again and would most definitely recommend them.

Excellent service! PGR was recommended to me by my daughter. Not a large purchase, however the service was excellent. The order was received as promised and the delivery driver was more than helpful. I would certainly recommend PGR to others requiring building materials. Many thanks

Jamie and the team at Braintree have exceeded all expectations throughout the past year with their service and supply throughout these difficult times. Some materials have been hard to come by, but the branch have gone above and beyond to source and make sure work does not grind to a halt on my sites. Great to deal with and great service. My go to builders merchants!

I use PGR Builders and Timber Merchants…

I use PGR Builders and Timber Merchants on a regular basis and cannot speak highly enough of the genuinely knowledgeable and helpful service provided by all the team there, from the delivery drivers and yard hands to the excellent and efficient counter service. Martin Green and Darren Blows are always on hand to effect a consummately professional service and I am always confident I am receiving the best advice and most suitable product at consistently fair prices.

PGR southend branch is our main…

PGR southend branch is our main builders merchant we use and have for the last 5 years or so (since it opened). All the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Everyone helps as much as possible, from looking into special order products, getting deliveries on site when we need them with no problems, and yard guys work fast and efficient to get you loaded up and on your ways as soon as possible.
Great company to work with all 4 of the branches we have used especially guys at southend

The team at PGR are outstanding

The team at PGR are outstanding, quick deliveries and even better prices. Such a kind group of people, always there to help you out - especially as I'm new to the construction world, and not familiar with all the different types of products.
