Why should I use Northern Ireland building merchants and timber suppliers?

If you want to leave the building material selection to your hired contractor, architect or designer, then you probably won’t need to talk to Northern Ireland builders’ merchants, but it is a good idea to do so if you plan to be more hands on with your project.

Timber merchants will be able to supply you with any wood materials you need for flooring, kitchen worktops, skirting boards, doors and more. The type of timber they can supply may depend on the supplier, but most will sell varieties of hardwood, plywood and softwood; suitable for a range of uses. If you’re after reclaimed building materials for a lived-in, vintage look, then plenty of timber merchants in Northern Ireland now offer reclaimed, salvaged or recycled wood for you to use as floorboards or wall cladding.

Traditional builders’ merchants will be able to provide all the basic building supplies, such as cement, bricks, stonework, plaster, fixings and hardware, but some will specialise in particular building products such as landscaping supplies, sustainable building materials or loft insulation products.

If it all seems a bit overwhelming, Northern Ireland building merchants will be able to advise you on the advantages of choosing certain materials. Or, you can rely on building contractors, architects and designers that may be working on your house project with you to advise or select your building materials for you.
