I couldn’t find a washing -up mop anywhere in my local town so I went online and Double Bay Hardware supplied three for me and had them packed and on the way the same day. I was most impressed. Many thanks.

Goldair 1200W radiant heater

This is an excellent heater. It’s practical, lightweight, easy to use and gives instant warmth as well as being affordable. The level of heat can be adjusted to one, two or all three bars. I highly recommended it. Fan from Double Bay Hardware was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Wonderful customer service. Cheers, Evelin.

Have only used 1, the other is spare as it is difficult to find these globes & the other one will probably blow any day now as they are connected to the same switch. Works as expected.
