I ordered an ‘Iceberg’ climbing rose to grow up an old tree. It arrived quicker than anticipated, was well packaged and looked very healthy. All planted with the Mycorrhizal fungi and now only time will tell.

The oil was delivered quickly despite not being a priority delivery. I was busy at the time but the driver handled the delivery without problems.

The trellis’s I brought were generally good quality but the frame joints weren’t terrific. I modified a number of them as I had to reduce the size anyway.

After researching various options online I ordered a picket gate and a close board gate from Ruby-UK. The picket gate to separate the side and the rear garden for dog control and the close board gate to close off the Oil tank area both for aesthetic reasons and dog access.
The thing I liked about ordering from Ruby is that you can select gate widths in increments of 25mm so get the perfect fit for most existing openings.
The only caveat to this is that the gates are effectively made to order so take slightly longer to arrive but it’s well worth it to have a gate that fits properly.
The gates are well made and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruby-UK.

I brought this chain splitter/riveting tool based on the description implying Kawasaki were the manufacturer. There are a lot of similar tools on the market of unknown quality so this was important to me.
However, the tool I received has no branding on it at all and the Invoice states it is JTC-TOOL1-Red-BOX so I am a bit disappointed (especially as the box I received is actually black?).
The tool itself does seem to be good quality but I haven’t actually used it yet so will reserve judgement until then.

The price was cheaper than Boiler Juice and was delivered before the stated time. The fill was done seamlessly including adding the additive before the fuel to aid mixing.
The only thing (and nothing to do with Goff’s) was that the price went down about a week later. Would definitely recommend but like the stock market you have to take your chances with the price when you order.

I brought these as I had brought these previously from Pets at Home. My puppy loves them so when I was about to run out I placed an order directly for 2 Kilos with Barking Heads.

I think Frank drew the short straw with my job, a leak that tripped the boiler overnight but would hold pressure when cold.
Using a combination of Thermal imaging, damp meter and intuition (the tracer gas didn’t give a positive reading) he managed to trace the leak to a small hidden space under the stairs.
Repairing this must have totally tested his patience as the pipes were all buried under concrete but I’m now rewarded with a Central Heating system that works perfectly. Thanks Frank!

I ordered the Garage door Top Seal in black on the 9th Jan and it was delivered on the 10th so extremely pleased with the quick response.
It was a bit fiddly to fit on my own (even the rigid part is a bit flexible) but still pretty straightforward.
Now it’s up it has made the garage space much warmer as it was the draft that was making it colder. Still a little bit of further insulating to do but the difference the door seal has made is quite noticeable so well pleased.
I have no hesitation in recommending this product and GaraDry.

Excellent quality plywood cut very accurately and at a very competitive price. Why would you bother with the DIY stores. Exactly what I needed. Delivery wasn’t as quick as I would have liked but this is potentially beyond CMP’s control. Would absolutely recommend.
