Ashwood Builders Merchant Ltd, Old Uxbridge Road, Rickmansworth, UK
Ashwood Builders Merchant supplies timber, bricks, blocks, drainage, insulation, plasterboard and landscaping materials to trade professionals and homeowners across Slough. Our trade counter and yard sit on Old Uxbridge Road in Rickmansworth, with local delivery covering SL1, SL2 and SL3. Pricing is available on request based on the materials and quantity you need.
Slough sits in Berkshire, further from our Rickmansworth yard than the rest of our delivery area, and its building stock reflects a very different history to the Hertfordshire towns nearby. The Slough Trading Estate, one of the largest industrial estates in Europe, sits alongside a town centre that has gone through substantial regeneration, with a wave of new high-rise residential schemes built over the last decade.
Around the trading estate and town centre, housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to large postwar council-built estates, plus the newer apartment developments. Commercial and light industrial units on the Trading Estate itself generate a different type of demand again, often bulk structural materials and blockwork rather than finishing products.
Because Slough combines industrial estate development, new-build regeneration and older terraced housing in one town, we treat it as three separate customer groups with different material needs rather than a single uniform market.
From foundations to finishing, Ashwood stocks the core materials Slough tradespeople, industrial estate businesses 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.
Structural and dense blockwork alongside cement and general building materials, in the bulk quantities Trading Estate units and new developments need.
Facing brick in red mixed, engineering and white glacia finishes, suited to both older terrace matching and new-build regeneration.
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 postwar estate upgrades and new-build specification.
Standard and moisture-resistant plasterboard alongside internal and external doors, mouldings and skirting, ordered in bulk for new-build schemes.
Underground pipework, inspection chambers, storage tanks and soakaway systems for new drainage runs and replacements.
Structural blockwork is where a lot of Slough demand starts, given the scale of the Trading Estate and the ongoing town centre regeneration. Commercial units and new residential schemes both need dense and thermal blockwork in quantities that go well beyond a typical home extension, alongside cement and general building materials for groundwork.
We stock structural and thermal blockwork on site, and can arrange bulk pallet orders and scheduled delivery for larger Slough projects through our direct manufacturer relationships, so a Trading Estate contractor and a residential developer can both be served from the same order process.
Because Slough sits further from our yard than the rest of our delivery area, most Slough orders are arranged for local delivery rather than collection, agreed in advance so timing works for your site.
Call, email or use the quote form to tell us what materials and quantities your Slough project needs.
We check availability against your quantity and provide pricing on request, with no cost published until we know the job.
We agree a delivery slot for your Slough site or home, or arrange collection from Old Uxbridge Road if that suits better.
Trade account customers are invoiced on agreed terms, retail customers pay on delivery or collection.
Commercial and light industrial units on the Slough Trading Estate often need building materials on a different scale and schedule to a typical residential job, and a trade account removes the friction of one-off retail ordering for repeat commercial work.
A trade account with Ashwood gives Slough businesses and contractors 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 larger Slough developments, we also support planned, scheduled deliveries agreed in advance, so materials arrive in step with the build programme instead of being ordered reactively.
Block, aggregate and structural materials supplied by the pallet for Trading Estate and residential contractors.
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 businesses ordering regularly across Slough sites.
Not every Slough customer at Ashwood is a Trading Estate business. Homeowners renovating a Victorian terrace, extending a postwar house, or finishing a new apartment can buy the same stock as our trade customers, in the quantity the job actually needs.
Our trade counter team can talk through matching brick for older Slough terraces, or insulation and drainage upgrades for postwar estate housing, with delivery arranged to suit your Slough address.
Large commercial units on the Slough Trading Estate and bigger town centre regeneration schemes sometimes need material volumes and delivery schedules beyond a single standard order, particularly during a peak build phase.
Through our direct manufacturer relationships, we can arrange bulk pallet quantities and scheduled delivery slots for larger Slough developments, alongside special order brick and block where a scheme needs a specific finish.

Answers below cover the questions we hear most from Slough trade and retail customers.
Yes, we deliver to every part of Slough, including SL1, SL2 and SL3, from our yard on Old Uxbridge Road in Rickmansworth. As Slough sits further from our yard than the rest of our delivery area, we agree a delivery slot in advance to make sure timing works for your site.
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 Slough 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.

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 delivery each time.
Slough generates three distinct types of demand: bulk structural materials for Trading Estate commercial units, standard structural and finishing materials for town centre new-build regeneration, and matching brick or drainage replacement for older Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Each area of Slough tends to need a different mix.
Yes, we regularly supply bulk blockwork and structural materials for commercial and light industrial units on the Slough Trading Estate, arranged through our direct manufacturer relationships. Contact our trade counter to discuss volume, specification and delivery timing for your unit.
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 covers the Slough area and 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 Slough terraces 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.
Because Slough sits further from our Rickmansworth yard than the rest of our delivery area, we recommend confirming your materials list and preferred delivery window with our trade counter as early as possible, particularly for larger or time-critical Trading Estate and regeneration orders.
