Ashwood Builders Merchant Ltd, Old Uxbridge Road, Rickmansworth, UK
Ashwood Builders Merchant is based right here in Rickmansworth, stocking timber, bricks, blocks, drainage, insulation, plasterboard and landscaping materials for trade professionals and homeowners across the town, from Moor Park to Mill End. Visit our trade counter on Old Uxbridge Road, or arrange local delivery. Pricing is available on request based on the materials and quantity you need.
Rickmansworth covers a wide range of building stock within a small area. The old town around the High Street and the Aquadrome mixes Victorian and Edwardian properties with the canal running through it, while the wider town grew rapidly as Metropolitan line suburbs in the 1930s, leaving large areas of interwar semi-detached and detached housing in Mill End and Batchworth.
Moor Park, on the western edge of town, is a different case again: larger detached homes on generous plots, often extended or renovated to a higher specification, where a close brick match and quality joinery matter more than standard trade stock. Older canal-side properties in the town centre more commonly need drainage attention, given the proximity to the water.
Because our yard sits inside Rickmansworth itself, we see this mix of period cottages, 1930s semis and larger Moor Park homes every day, which is one reason customers collect directly rather than waiting on a delivery from further afield.
Every category below is stocked at our Old Uxbridge Road yard, available to collect the same day or have delivered locally, with pricing confirmed once we know the quantity you need.
Facing brick in red mixed, engineering and white glacia finishes, suited to Moor Park extensions and town centre period matching alike.
Structural and dense blockwork alongside cement and general building materials for foundations, walls and groundwork.
C16 and C24 structural timber, roofing battens and floor joists, cut and supplied for extensions, lofts and new builds.
PIR boards, mineral wool and cavity wall insulation suited to both Croxley Green upgrades and new-build specification.
Standard and moisture-resistant plasterboard alongside internal and external doors, mouldings and skirting.
Underground pipework, inspection chambers, storage tanks and soakaway systems, popular with canal-side properties near the town centre.
Structural timber is where most Rickmansworth projects start, whether that is a loft conversion in Mill End, a side-return extension in Batchworth, or a full renovation in Moor Park. We hold C16 and C24 structural grades, roofing battens and floor joists on site, so contractors can collect what they need the same day rather than waiting on a delivery slot.
Because the yard is on Old Uxbridge Road, inside Rickmansworth itself, our trade counter team can talk through span, grade and quantity in person before you load up, which matters most on the timing-sensitive early stages of a build.
Because we are based in Rickmansworth, most local customers collect directly rather than wait for delivery, though both options are available.

We check availability against your quantity and provide pricing on request, with no cost published until we know the job.

Trade account customers are invoiced on agreed terms, retail customers pay on collection or delivery.
Contractors working across Rickmansworth, from Mill End rewires to Moor Park renovations, benefit from having a single local yard to call rather than waiting on deliveries from an out-of-town branch.
A trade account with Ashwood gives Rickmansworth-based builders a single point of contact for material advice, agreed credit terms, and consistent stock sourced through our direct manufacturer relationships rather than through a general wholesaler.
For active sites, we also support planned, scheduled deliveries agreed in advance, so materials arrive in step with the build programme instead of being ordered reactively each time stock runs low.
Brick, block and timber supplied by the pallet for contractors working across multiple Rickmansworth plots.
Deliveries planned around your build programme rather than ordered reactively when stock runs low on site.
Direct access to trade counter staff who can confirm specification, quantity and lead time before you order.

Not every Rickmansworth customer at Ashwood is a contractor. Homeowners extending a semi in Mill End, renovating a period cottage near the town centre, or upgrading a larger Moor Park property can buy the same stock as our trade customers, in the quantity the job actually needs.
Our trade counter team can talk through material choice, quantity and matching an existing brick or joinery finish, which matters more in Rickmansworth than in newer-build areas given how much period and interwar housing there is locally.
Moor Park's larger detached homes, along with period cottages near the town centre, often call for a closer brick match or a more particular joinery profile than our everyday stock covers.
Through our direct relationships with York Handmade, Michelmersh and our joinery partners, we can source handmade brick ranges and bespoke moulding profiles to order, alongside larger bulk pallet quantities for bigger Rickmansworth developments.

Yes, trade accounts with agreed credit terms are available for contractors and builders ordering regularly in Rickmansworth.

Moor Park's larger detached homes tend to be extended or renovated to a higher specification than the town's more standard interwar semis, which means a closer brick match and bespoke joinery profiles come up more often than everyday trade stock. We can source these through our manufacturer partnerships when needed.
Older Victorian and Edwardian properties near the town centre and the Aquadrome, close to the canal, more commonly need drainage attention, since original systems in these areas are now reaching the end of their working life. We stock full underground and above ground drainage ranges to support replacements.
For structural or drainage work, we recommend your contractor or a qualified surveyor confirms the exact specification before ordering, since pipe diameters, brick coursing and timber grades need to match the property. Our trade counter team can then confirm stock and quantity once that specification is agreed.
Responsibility depends on where the drainage sits. Thames Water, which covers the Rickmansworth area, is generally responsible for shared public sewers, while homeowners are responsible for private drains serving only their own property. If you are unsure, Thames Water can confirm which category applies before you order replacement materials.
Recurring material needs on older Rickmansworth properties usually come down to the age of the original build. Clay drainage, single-layer insulation and older brick finishes were standard decades ago but no longer meet current performance expectations, so repairs and upgrades tend to repeat until the full system is replaced rather than patched.
Yes, through our direct relationships with York Handmade and Michelmersh we can source handmade and specialist brick ranges to closely match existing period brickwork, which avoids the more disruptive alternative of re-facing a wider area of wall than necessary. Bring a sample or clear photo to our trade counter and we will help identify the closest match.
