EST 1981
Amazing service, fantastic staff. Had a small issue on my new build, Read Brothers went above and beyond to sort it out. Could not recommend them highly enough.
Knowledgeable, friendly staff always have the answer to all your timber-related questions.
I bought 40 18mm 8x2 OSB T&G boards today from Read Brothers. The staff were courteous and professional the entire time, making the whole process smooth and pleasant. Even better, the price included delivery, which was very convenient. I highly recommend them for their quality products and excellent service! I will definitely be returning soon.
