Replacement greenhouse window
Replacement greenhouse window. I was never going to get a 2ft x 5ft x 3mm piece of glass home in one piece. looks better than the original glass. A bit pricy thought.

Perfect cutting
Having ordered from a glass cutting company previously who got quite a few pane sizes wrong I was a bit dubious doing it all online. However, Cut My was easy to order from, even the awkward triangles I needed! And every pane was exactly what I asked for and every one slotted into the greenhouse frame perfectly, my customer and I are very pleased. Also some weird technical glitch added an old postcode to my delivery address so initially it was being delivered somewhere 3 hours away! But contacting the courier resolved the situation immediately and the panes arrived only a day late and still in perfect condition. A bit expensive but then everything is nowadays and as the cut and delivery were 100% I'm happy, thank you.

Excellent service
Excellent service. I had made an error in measurements. Because they seemed wrong for my purposes they contacted me to confirm. I was then able to correct the order which they delivered precisely as required and on time.
Highly recommended.

Product as described. Had to wait in for delivery
The plywood was cut perfectly and arrived on time. The only drawback was that I had to wait at home for the delivery and the delivery window was 8 hours (fortunately it arrived early).
