“One of these hardware and fancy goods (what's the modern equivalent of that phrase?) stores. They have everything. It's sort of creeping off the shelves into the isles. And yet the staff know where everything is. If you find yourself short of a circular saw blade, a watch strap, a fitting for your garden hose, a plant pot, a light bulb for that torch your granddad had since the war, a spaghetti strainer, and a fishing net for the kids, this place has you covered. It's quite the experience.”

“Absolutely fantastic service today, went in looking for a bathroom mortice lock. Was quiet in there and 2 of the guys went hunting for an easily reversible mortice lock off their own back, I hadn't asked them to. One of the guys had found a mortice lock that reverses by twisting the lock itself, great find, couldn't ask for better friendlier service”

“I am a “weekend warrior” renovating my front room, as opposed to a trades professional. It is easy to feel Intimidated when using suppliers such as Express, but they were excellent. Carol was extremely patient with my and generous with her time to ensure I got exactly the right products for my job. The warehouse chaps very kindly helped me load up. It was a pleasure to do business with these folks, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to trades and diy’ers alike. The sheets of hardwood ply are of superior quality than those I’ve had from B&Q, and are at a better price. What’s not to love?”

“This store and staff are simply the best. The stock is vast and the customer is always dealt with in a courteous and helpful manner. Give them a call or pop in and see for yourself. They sell quality goods at a reasonable price. Well done Gibb Stuart and staff.”

“An excellent service for anything roofing related”

“Great branch, the team always go above and beyond. Appreciate all their help.”

“Construction For All Trades Ltd have done several jobs for us around our home in Glasgow — plastering, painting, and fitting a new kitchen worktop. Every job was completed to a high standard, and the team is polite, hardworking, and reliable. It’s great to have found a company that can handle all trades in one go!”

“I was told to visit onestop by a friend who had used them in the past and said they know what they are talking about and are a good help…. Unfortunately for me Newhouse branch was closer and was met by a guy called Jim, he was in himself on this occasion and said his boss was off. When asking him anything all he could mumble was better phoning or going to govan depot. I had lost hope in getting my issue resolved with onestop at this point but thought I would give it another go at the govan branch and I am glad i did. What a difference. Guy on the front desk(Thomas) who was run off his feet and Ihad a massive queue at the back of me developing he still took his time to explain what I needed gave me a price even gave me a couple of roofers numbers. I bought the stuff that he had advised(cure it grp). He didn’t try rush me out the door. Excellent customer service. More knowledge on roofing than anybody I have ever spoke to. Was served by the yard man James the guy in the yard also excellent, had the stuff in the back of my van before I even got out the door. When speaking to my friend about the difference in service between both branches he said the same thing and said it was also Thomas he dealt with. Couldn’t praise him highly enough. Would highly recommend anybody that is wanting roofing materials that are good quality products that will last go to onestop roofing supplies (govan)!”
