Easy to deal with and their budget payment plan spreads the cost nicely over the year.

Been using them for years. Not always the absolute cheapest but the delivery is dependable and the office actually answers the phone.

Good price on 900 litres and the driver was careful with the hose across the garden. No complaints.
