Report
3 years after supplying joists to a project that stalled for a few years, Chris F was able to re-calculate loads to accommodate underfloor heating upstairs, and provided all calculations to satisfy building control. He managed this giant feat in under an hour, and I'm absolutely staggered by the quality of service! I am grateful beyond words, and can't recommend ETS enough! ETS provided all joists and rafters for this build. PHENOMENAL!

I've used ETS for about 20 years now and have always been mega happy with the service I get, I wish every merchant I trade with would treat me as smoothly as these guys. Nothing is a problem for them, with amazing service from design to delivery
