Ordered some boots online on 16.8.20, still waiting!!! After talking to a manager, it transpired that it was a lack of communication, not the company's, that caused the delay. Today I received my boots, as they had sold out of the ones i has ordered, i received an upgrade. Many thanks, greatly appreciated

Used this place to fill up 2 C02 fire extinguishers that I use to keep plants heathy in my fishtank. I found it very difficult to locate somewhere in Derby to help me out and was very happy when I found this place. They were very helpful, cheap and fast. I would definitely recommend this place to any hobbyist who uses C02 like me, or of course if you need products or advice of fire safety.
