I have just refurbished my kitchen and used Barlows Boards Birmingham to supply worktops, cupboard doors, kickboards, pelmut, cornice etc. We returned to the shop on many occasions to check our sizes, our colours and combinations. Steve and his collegues were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were patient, courteous and extremely helpful. In this day and age when everyone is rushing at 90 miles an hour the staff at Barlows could not have supported us better. The product is extremely well made and of good quality. Thank you to all staff at Barlows Boards.

Really nice and helpful staff (Steve ). Bit on the pricier side for boards but a good local birmingham supplier.
