Staff were attentive but not overly so; I was able to poke around and find what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder. Made my choice and went to the till. There was already twenty per cent off all products and the pleasant person at the till rounded the amount down and they also offered to carry the purchase to the car. Nice store. Nice people.

Approaching the first anniversary of our complete house insulation by Insulex, I wish to put on…read morerecord our satisfaction with the job done, the workmanship, the professionalism of the team, and the comfort we have had since. Every aspect of our dealing with Insulex was most satisfactory. The house was inspected, the estimate followed promptly, everything was discussed and explained, the job was started, carried through and finished in the time agreed. In particular, I wish to say what a pleasure it was to have such a team executing this work for us. All working with us were absolute professionals, knew exactly what they were doing, were punctual, courteous, and tidy in their work. They were inside and outside the house. The decoration was respected, carpets covered appropriately and every effort made to allow us live with the minimum of disruption. Finally, we had the first warm, comfortable winter we've had for some time. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Martin, Siobhan and team. Thank you.

The big Atlantic Homecare store in Blackpool is well worth a visit if you need some hardware for…read morethe house or garden. It has a huge stock, everything from floor mops to chain saws, including items such as plants, paints and picture frames. At the moment, there is a large section of Christmas goods on display. I was in there recently for a lightweight step-ladder. Again, they had a decent selection but no one in the area to help out, though that is common enough in such stores these days. But when I did get someone, he was very helpful indeed and knew his stuff and, again, I'd have to say that is par for the course here. Staff at the tills, aside from the rare sour face, are usually chatty and efficient and help is always available to get heavy items from the store to your car. And another plus: they give 10 per cent off to Over 60s on Thursdays!
