Purchased reclaimed bricks, tiles and a pair of stunning terracotta pillar caps. I had a vision of how I wanted my front wall to look and with the advice and support from Ian we achieved this.
Ian played a crucial role going above and beyond with his superb knowledge on the amazing building material sold at Carwarden. Thank you.

Arrived early - Dan was very helpful and so knowledgeable. Made the 2 hour journey to get some specialist bricks for barn conversion. Absolutely amazed when I arrived - what a fantastic place - every possible brick under the sun. Went away with exactly what we needed and will be going back to look at the architectural furnishings which looked nice too. Would definitely recommend- probably the best brick and architectural salvage in UK

Cawarden is the only place we have found who will provide samples of wood flooring options inc. Finish and sanding options during our visit. They spent a lot of time with us discussing options and all staff are incredibly enthusiastic and experienced. They only supply high quality flooring and we cannot wait for our delivery! We highly recommend Cawarden, thanks all for being so interested in our renovation project, it really is appreciated.

Excellent service. Needed to replace some 200 Yr old corner roof tiles. Impossible to source new. Lydia very kindly guided me round the yard and helped me find some that are an almost perfect replacement. Very reasonably priced too.

What can I say, how lovely to receive top class service from start to finish today! Very rare these days! Nothing too much trouble!! A very friendly and helpful receptionist passed me on to Jack, who was very helpful and sought some advice from another chap whose name I did not get, followed by Ian!! All my queries addressed and a solution found! Bravo Cawarden! So glad I visited!!

The blokes on the floor are lovely, know their stuff and are very helpful, but they need to teach their till staff some manners - it cost them an immediate sale of several hundred and two future sales of paint and flooring that would have been considerably more. I shan't be going back, there are other places I can spend my money without having a diva throw my change at me and without having to leave my details in order to pay- I've never heard of anything so stupid in my life.

This is the best reclaim yard in a hundred mile radius and believe me we have been to a few. Really well organised with fantastic knowledgeable staff that make you feel valued however large or small your purchase. Thank you Cawarden for always meeting our needs.

I ordered 7 bespoke Oak Ledge & Brace doors from Cawardens and they manufactured them within 4 days. We arranged to collect in person Sunday 28th Oct 18 and traveled from Plymouth to collect getting delayed for over 3 hours en route. Vernon who we had been dealing with us offered to come to reopen the yard so that we could collect at 7pm after they had closed at 4pm. It was an incredible service well beyond what we could have realistically ever expected and we were absolutely delighted with the doors, but more so his cheerful and friendly nature.
It is lovely to know that there are still some really helpful people around. I would thoroughly recommend the product and the people at Cawarden - Thanks again Vernon. These doors represented great value for money. - Steve Vitali (Vital Homes)

Enormous selection of all kinds of reclaimed material, wonderful people, great service. Just four stars because their prices on some items are ridiculously high!
