Ordered 12 bags of black ice stone to finish the patio off, it’s really good value and the stone is beautiful! It’s like crystals shining in the sun and when it’s wet it’s looks even more beautiful! I took advantage of the buy 5 get one free and got 12 bags for the price of 10, fast delivery even though it was Easter weekend! Shame I couldn’t put a photo on 5*****

Good Products and Free local delivery
First time ordering from Forward Builders Supplies.
Ordered online and delivery came within 2 days. Delivery guy was brilliant, very polite and helpful. He phoned to let me know he was outside and put the order exactly where I wanted it. Would have been 5 stars except I didn't get an email to confirm the delivery date. Despite this I would definitely use again.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
Offering a set date for delivery is definitely a service we would love to be able to give our customers, and will work towards this; at the moment our system is still quite manual, as we are an independent one-branch depot. This is why we offer delivery within 5 working days, and where possible we always try to deliver before this 😊
Topsoil.
I had special delivery note..they did exactly as I asked..very polite and respectful..they go out of their way to help.
