Ashwood Builders Merchant supplies timber, bricks, blocks, drainage, insulation, plasterboard and landscaping materials to trade professionals and homeowners across Hillingdon. Our trade counter and yard sit on Old Uxbridge Road in Rickmansworth, with collection and local delivery covering Uxbridge, Hayes, Ickenham, Ruislip and Cowley. Pricing is available on request based on the materials and quantity you need.
Hillingdon covers a wide mix of building stock, from interwar semi-detached housing around Uxbridge and Ickenham to postwar estates near Hayes and Yiewsley, plus newer developments closer to the Hillingdon Circus and Uxbridge Road corridor. Each of these property types puts different demands on a builders merchant.
Older semi-detached homes typically need matching facing brick and insulation upgrades when extended, while postwar stock in Hayes and Cowley more often needs re-pointing brick, replacement drainage runs and modern PIR insulation to bring properties up to current standards. Newer builds tend to need standard structural timber, plasterboard and landscaping materials rather than specialist matching.
Because Hillingdon sits across several postcode areas with genuinely different building ages, having a merchant that stocks both standard trade materials and specialist ranges, such as handmade and reclaimed-style brick, matters more here than in a borough with one uniform housing type.
From foundations to finishing, Ashwood stocks the core materials Hillingdon tradespeople and homeowners order most. Every category below is available for collection from Old Uxbridge Road or local delivery, with pricing confirmed once we know the quantity you need.
Facing brick in red mixed, engineering and white glacia finishes, suited to both period-matching extensions and new builds.
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 new builds and upgrades of older Hillingdon housing stock.
Standard and moisture-resistant plasterboard alongside internal and external doors, mouldings and skirting.
Underground pipework, inspection chambers, storage tanks and soakaway systems for new drainage runs and replacements.
Bricklaying work in Hillingdon usually starts with matching what is already on the property, particularly on the interwar semis common around Ickenham and Ruislip. We stock red mixed, engineering and white glacia brick alongside standard and dense blockwork, so a single order can cover both the visible facing brick and the structural blockwork behind it.
For extensions on older Hillingdon properties, getting a close brick match is usually the biggest sourcing challenge. We work directly with manufacturers including Ibstock, Wienerberger, York Handmade and Michelmersh, which gives us access to a wider range of finishes than a single own-brand stock line.
Ordering from Ashwood follows the same straightforward process whether you are a contractor placing a bulk order or a homeowner picking up materials for a weekend project.

Trade account customers are invoiced on agreed terms, retail customers pay on collection or delivery.
When a Hillingdon site runs short on brick, timber or drainage materials mid-build, delays add up fast. Sourcing from a single reliable merchant with a trade account in place removes the repeated approval and payment steps that slow down day-to-day site ordering.
A trade account with Ashwood gives contractors and builders working across Hillingdon 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 Hillingdon 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.
Agreed credit terms and consolidated invoicing for contractors ordering regularly across Hillingdon sites.
Not every Hillingdon customer at Ashwood is a contractor. Homeowners extending a semi in Ickenham, self-builders in Ruislip and anyone taking on a DIY project 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 timber finish, which is often the hardest part of a smaller home project. There is no minimum order pressure for retail customers picking up materials for a single job.
Some Hillingdon projects need materials that sit outside our everyday stock range. Conservation-style extensions and period property repairs in particular often call for a specific handmade brick to match an existing wall.
Through our direct relationships with York Handmade and Michelmersh, we can source handmade and specialist brick ranges to order, alongside larger bulk pallet quantities for bigger Hillingdon developments that our standard stock levels would not otherwise cover.

Yes, we deliver to every part of the London Borough of Hillingdon, including Uxbridge, Hayes, Ickenham, Ruislip, Cowley and Yiewsley, from our yard on Old Uxbridge Road in Rickmansworth. Delivery is arranged once we know the materials and quantity you need, alongside collection from our trade counter if that suits your project better.
We stock structural timber, facing brick, blocks and building materials, underground and above ground drainage, insulation, plasterboard, joinery, lintels, roof windows and landscaping materials. Every category is available to both trade and retail customers, in the quantity your Hillingdon project needs.
Pricing is available on request once we know the specific materials and quantity required. We do not publish set prices, because building material needs vary too much project to project. Call, email or use our quote form and our trade counter team will confirm pricing before you order.
Yes, trade accounts with agreed credit terms are available for contractors and builders ordering regularly across Hillingdon. A trade account gives you a single point of contact, consistent stock sourced through our direct manufacturer partnerships, and consolidated invoicing rather than paying on collection each time.
Hillingdon's mix of interwar semi-detached housing, postwar estates and newer developments means demand splits fairly evenly between matching facing brick for extensions, drainage replacement on older properties, and standard structural timber and insulation for newer builds. Areas with older housing stock, such as around Ickenham and Ruislip, tend to generate more brick-matching enquiries.
Postwar housing around Hayes and Cowley, along with older Victorian terraces near Uxbridge town centre, more commonly need drainage replacement work, since original clay systems in these areas are now reaching the end of their working life. We stock full underground and above ground drainage ranges to support these 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 Hillingdon 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 Hillingdon 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.
