CUSTOMERS COMMENTS -
Here's recent customers comments below and please view the brick project in the "customers projects" gallery
Stuart A, Felixstowe - 10th March 2021
I was looking for 2 matching Victorian doors to finish my house off and after much searching online I came across these guys. Sent them an email with dimensions and requirements and I got a message back the next morning with photos.. they matched exactly other doors I have. We agreed a price and they even arranged the courier delivery for me. Fantastic service and will no doubt be looking at what else they have and hope to take a trip to their site when restrictions allow. Thanks R&S, great job.
Hi,
A few months ago I bought 250 wire cut reds from you to make a patio. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the bricks. They cleaned up really well and the patio looks very good.
The quality of the bricks was also excellent, in the end there was only one of the 250 I could not use - probably better than a pallet of new bricks
I've attached a couple of photos of the patio, also one of a wall we built last year using your multibricks.
I'll certainly come to Reclaim and Salvage again if I have another project.
Regards
D B, Geldeston.
The below for one of our unique french rifle pallet coffee tables - hurry 2 remaining from 5 originally available , when they are gone , they are gone.......unfortunately! -
"Hi Andy,
Just got back home from holiday to see the delivered table and have to say it looks fantastic. Thanks for delivering a great product.
Kind regards,
Ashley, Norfolk.

Business Debtors : Currently we have NO defaulting debtors - Thank-You
Rogue Suppliers:
CURRYS aka DSG Retail Ltd - suppliers of the worst quality products we have used in years and then un-contactable when there is a problem to resolve. We have just successfully taken them to court to refund their defective goods. AVOID!
BRITISH TELECOM: Existing telecoms and wifi supplier - BT have taken over 2 months to re-connect an existing line to our new premises and also managed to cut off our old site one still operating in the process. AVOID if you can........we are in the process of switching.
DX - possibly the worst courier we have ever tried to use , over 1 week trying to just collect an urgent overnight delivery booked via Parcelmonkey , we gave up in the end and used Parcelforce directly who got the job done ! Luckily our customer was very sympathetic but we will not be using either DX or Parcelmonkey again as both are still blaming each other for the fiasco.
