“Nice experience for me there, friendly forklift driver and at the same time the documents stamped quick..thanks, I was waiting a bit but part of the job..not enough space to wait around there..”

“Sofa shopping, let’s be honest, is the single most exhausting pastime known to humankind. Forget marathons, childbirth, or Brexit negotiations, nothing will drain your soul quite like trudging around Cribbs Causeway with your wife, looking at a thousand slight variations of padded rectangles. The problem isn’t really the sofas themselves (although God knows some of them look like they’ve been upholstered in the skin of a startled badger). The problem is sofa shock. That moment when you realise you’re expected to lower yourself onto yet another beige monstrosity, nod appreciatively, and then get back up again, only to repeat the process across an entire retail park. It is, in fact, a tidy little paradox. The longer you sit on a sofa, the more comfortable it becomes, but in direct correlation, your will to live diminishes. Ten minutes in DFS and you’ll happily fork out for a beanbag. Twenty minutes in SCS and you’re thinking, “Do we even need furniture? Couldn’t we just squat, like medieval peasants?” Now, sofa shopping is not something you do regularly. Despite what the shops would like, it’s not a jaunty every-three-years affair. No. This is a once-in-a-decade blood pact, like renewing your passport. The evidence is right there, jammed down the side of our current sofa: a Radio Times from 2002. David Tennant wasn’t even Doctor Who yet. So, in a moment of male genius (read: cowardice), I sent out a search party in advance, namely, my wife. She produced a shortlist of sofas she liked. Which, as is the way of these things, meant a shortlist of sofas I liked. My role was not to choose but to greenlight. It’s marriage, not democracy. And then…miracle of miracles… we walked into SCS Sofas, Cribbs Causeway, and I saw one. A sofa I actually liked. “What about that one?” I ventured, expecting to be told it was the wrong size, wrong shape, wrong vibes. Instead, my wife said: “That’s the one I like.” Bull’s-eye. Done. Sofa harmony achieved. Except of course it wasn’t done. Oh no. You don’t just “buy” a sofa. You must choose colours, sizes, shapes, cushions, protection, and payment schemes that appear to have been devised by Goldman Sachs. But, and here’s the real kicker, we were rescued by Sophie. Brilliant Sophie. Patient, charming, efficient Sophie, who not only explained it all without the faintest trace of judgment, but even handwrote the dimensions for us. By this point I was so delirious that I nearly nodded off right there on the showroom floor. Which, in a way, is the highest compliment you can pay a sofa. So yes, thank you Sophie. Thank you SCS. Thank you, sofa gods, for ending the torment. We are now the proud owners of a new sofa, which will no doubt survive until the 2040 Olympics and still contain the fossilised remains of 2025’s iPhone cables.”

“It’s not possible to praise or recommend Jon highly enough, exceptional bike fitter and phenomenal person. I sustained a brain injury which makes judging if things feel better or worse nigh on impossible so wouldn’t be able to give the normal feedback, his expertise and vast experience meant that he recognised a significant hip issue, which I wasn’t aware of, and several bike fit problems and he did it all with good humour and put me totally at ease. I’m now in the care of an osteopath with hope to get back on a bike. Absolutely excellent service and so very grateful.”

“Always great friendly service and help with loading is a brilliant human touch in this day and age of self service. Prices are very reasonable and have a big range of timber.”

“Very friendly, helpful staff. Amazing delivery service. Thank you for helping us achieve our garden makeover. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Great shop with big choice, pleasant helpful staff. We only purchased 3 tiles for our hob splashback, but when we need more we will return to CTD”

“Wow what a great little venue. This is my 2nd time at the Jam Jar seeing the Fantastic Supalung. Such a friendly vibe. Very cool stage with underwear theme. Can't wait to go back again.”

“Another lovely experience at Nellie's today. They were quite busy but we received efficient and friendly service as usual. Coffee (oat milk latte) was one of the best I've had and made my day! Thank you Lilia & team.”

“Great service! I turned up ten minutes before closing time on the bank holiday Monday and yet the young man on the till was patient and really helpful. Sold me everything I need. Would definitely recommend based on his customer service alone.”

“One of my favourite places to shop, for snacks, ingredients on the upper floors. (Especially Konjac and Gluten/bean curd snacks) Your best go to for affordable tasty food! Extremely helpful staff who will guide you towards anything you're looking for, please visit, expand your platter!”

“It's so handy to have this shop in caldicot. Always has exactly what you need. Great service from all the staff. Please support this shop to keep it going. Keep up the good work guys!”

“We met with Lucy to design of a main bathroom and en-auite. Lucy was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with through this - I would thoroughly recommend”

“We have been on a self build journey for the last 14 months and Sustainable Kitchens are the best company we have worked with. Their design input, construction and delivery has been so slick. I cannot recommend them enough. Our kitchen is more beautiful than i could have imagined! Thank you Ally for your design input, Caroline for sorting out all the finances, Lindsey for coordinating all our meetings, payment & delivery date, and Derick, Olly and Ben for a super smooth delivery! Fantastic team! We cannot thank you all enough. Aisha”

“Our experience with Barleywood providing our utility room was nothing short of perfect. From the first design consultation to realisation, Grace kept everything moving smoothly. Her attention to detail was second to none and we are absolutely thrilled with the result ... I know it takes a team so thank you all at Barleywood for such a super finish - we look forward to years of washing in such a beautiful environment! :0)”

“I got tattooed here by José (instagram: @metra.92) a few days ago. The place is really nice, bright and clean. José was great: patient, listening and helping me bringing to life the beautiful design I had in mind. I am so happy with his work and I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for something poetic, flowy, and with skilled elegant details.”

“Used professionally and personally, all the staff are super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Good prices and a fantastic service.”

“Amy at Kingswood Kitchen is a breath of fresh air. Their customer service is 5+. If you’re looking for high quality kitchens where recommendations actually mean something, this is the company for you. Highly recommend.”

“We looked at several different kitchen design companies before deciding to use Neat Kitchens, and we're delighted we chose them. Lily and Dan in the showroom were friendly and approachable and extremely helpful, offering ideas and suggestions. We were shown a virtual plan after the kitchen was designed by Jon and this helped us visualise how the completed kitchen would look. Our old kitchen was completely gutted, stud walls were removed, ceiling replaced, walls re-plastered and all electricals replaced, and the old, tiled floor removed and a new one laid. Matthew managed the whole project and visited and called regularly to keep us updated of progress. The kitchen fitters/installers, plumbers and electricians used were all professional, friendly, tidy and the work was done to a very high standard. The whole team were excellent, and we would highly recommend Neat Kitchens.”

“James and his Team are simply 'the best' timber supplier within 50 miles+, for prices, quality, delivery and service. I have been a customer for 15 years+ and never once have i experienced even a bump in their customer relations. Brilliant, I don't buy wood from any other company (that good).”

“Our family have had 4 new kitchens and a bedroom from Creative Kitchens (CK) over the years in different houses in London and in Somerset. We have always found CK to be brilliant to deal with; very professional, extremely helpful and accommodating to our needs; great in delivering and installing on time and always with the very highest quality and craftsmanship in fitting. And all this with excellent value for money in view of the high quality and service provided. They also have a very broad depth of experience and expertise in the wider building industry and so are able to bring that knowledge to bear in an end to end service when other trades such as electrics and plumbing are involved. We would highly recommend.”
