Dear Valued Customer,
We would like to thank you for your custom and continued patience during these unprecedented times. We understand your difficulties and value your loyalty.
Here at Allmat, we are working very hard to stay fully stocked but you may have noticed that there are some national shortages, such as timber fencing products and plaster related products. This will improve as our suppliers continue to increase production – We will re-stock as soon as we can and will let you know once our stocks are full again.
You can arrange to collect your orders via our sales team on 020 8668 6666 Monday to Friday 7:30 – 5pm or you can email your order to info@allmat.co.uk. Once we have received and processed your order, we can call you to arrange a convenient collection slot / estimated delivery time. Your safety and the safety of our staff are always paramount so unfortunately our trade counter will remain closed for now.
We hope all our customers and their families stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
