Roose hoses may have been a bit cheaper

Can you cancel or hold the order if you haven't tried them for a quote yet?

Ive used burtons for the last ten + years and i havnt found anywhere that has such an array of stock to hand no waiting about and ive always found the customer srvice pretty good but they are a tadd on the dear side but lets be honest most other places arnt that much cheaper.
