“Just been to Howarths on Eastgate, 'Great Grimsby'. Great bunch of guys and ladies. Got my wood, cut it down to size for me no problem. Bit of happy banter, paid for it, so much cheaper and better quality than local diy stores, shall not name them. Will use Howarth always from now on. Great friendly service, quite rare nowadays, keep it up.”
“Great service from my local depot, ordering online for something extra was easy and delivery prompt and no fuss. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is the notification process for texts is after the event. I had 2 deliveries, the first one was delivered earlier than expected, I only realised because a text arrived telling me it was on its way, only to find it was already outside. Second delivery on the day I expected but text to tell me it was out for delivery arrived an hour later than the actual delivery. Either sort it out or don't waste your money on texts!”
“I recently purchased 6 x 95x195x2400mm UC4 treated green incised softwood sleepers, 5 x 20kg bags of Hanson Fast Set Postfix, and 2 x 100x100mm x 2.4mtr incised UC4 treated green posts from Howarth Timber and Building Supplies, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The online ordering and payment process was quick and straightforward, making it easy to get exactly what I needed without any hassle. Communication was excellent throughout – I was kept up to date on my order and delivery details, which arrived promptly and exactly as scheduled.
I chose Howarth because their prices were very competitive, and just as importantly, they were able to deliver within my preferred timeframe. The products were well packaged, delivered in great condition, and are exactly as described.
All in all, a really positive experience – great value, smooth ordering process, and first-class service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Howarth Timber and Building Supplies and will definitely use them again.”
“Ordered online, didn't have it in stock but had it at another branch. So they collected from other branch and arranged delivery. Delivery on the day arranged. Good communication throughout.
Really nothing to complain about. Perfect service.”
“Easy ordering, fast delivery but left in front garden path with no protection, even though a note on the door said to deliver at side entrance where were sitting out!”
“Excellent customer service from Howarth Timber !
My house is in a remote location. It is difficult to find and even more difficult to access with a large delivery vehicle.
The delivery first arrived from Bury branch and the driver Craig made several attemps to get his vehicle near my house but all without success. Craig suggested that a smaller vehicle from Rochdale branch would be better and he kindly arranged this for the next day. Antony from Rochdale arrived the next day with a smaller vehicle and , with some effort his part, made a successful delivery. Thank you Howarth Timber.”
“At present very dissapointed odered composite Fascia boards on line just over two weeks ago , first delivery was incorrect product, a week later same outcome again wrong product delivered.Not gone down well with my customer and stiil not resolved !!!”
“Excellent product, and very good value. Howarth were the only timber merchant in Manchester with stock of 150mm gate posts. Staff were friendly at the timber yard when I collected, I will definitely be shopping with Howarth again in future.”
“no phone call to us day or date of delivery just luck that we were at home I placed the order and as far as i remember i had a e-mail to say it had been placed and that was all i heard thats why i did not give 5 stars”
“bought a bunch of sleepers, they look good, be aware some come with slightly rounded sides and bark, but hey what do you expect - wood grows on trees. Delivery was ontime and the driver was friendly. I know I will use them again as long as the price is right because I need more sleepers”
