Five star service. Very helpful, friendly people, always willing to go the extra mile to help with any DIY project. Much better than the big conglomerates - more people should support local business - you get proper service!

★★★★★

Brilliant! Helpful, friendly and fun! Even though I was spending only a tiny amount, I was given first class service! Will definitely be a returning customer and will recommend to family and friends. Thanks lads!

★★★★★

I’ve been using Elsworths for my timber needs for 30 years plus. Yes, sometimes it takes a little while to get served as Alan and the lads may be busy. However the quality of the timber and the reasonable prices make up for any waiting. Alan is a top bloke and is always willing to go the extra mile to help.
