Here's what our visitors had to say about our recent shows:

If you are planning to build or renovate a property, this is an essential visit. Lots of great stands covering all aspects of the project. It's always helpful to be able to physically examine products such as doors and windows and with the barcode scanner it's easy to request brochures.

Brilliant way of viewing products, getting information, and talking to suppliers. The displays are far better than you see at other shows as they are permanent set ups. I have been several times as our build moves through different stages.

Julian, 2024 ★★★★★

Spent a full day here exploring and learning about different options. Plenty of suppliers on hand to answer questions. Invaluable resource, thank you.

Paul, 2024 ★★★★★

Excellent experience if you're a home renovator or self builder. Helpful to talk face to face and share plans and problems. Presentations brought products to life. Highly recommended.

Fay, 2024 ★★★★★

We were absolutely blown away by the layout, the atmosphere of ‘can do’ and the helpfulness / knowledge of all the stand representatives. Thank you - it was inspirational!

Alec, 2024 ★★★★★

Absolutely a ‘must visit’ if you’re interested in any aspect of building new homes or renovating a property. The organisation, staff, workshops [and] display stands have all been fantastic. I never knew 9 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday could fly past so quickly!
