Last week I called KPs looking for some small bits of aluminium plate for a home project. The amount of stuff I needed was piddling for a big firm like KP, but my enquiry was politely handled, I was shown the offcuts bin and told to pick out what I wanted, and I was pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable price for the small amount I selected. They say old-fashioned customer service is dead, but I think not. Thanks, KP, for your helpful and pleasant service.

A very simple job took over 2 months to complete. I was always chasing them up, and the workmanship looked like they did it in 20 minutes. Extremely disappointed.

I needed a small welding job done on my trailer and these guys didnt hesitate to help me out. Extremely friendly and professional whilst being well priced. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to friends and professional contacts.
