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 Staines-upon-Thames. Our trade counter and yard sit on Old Uxbridge Road in Rickmansworth, with local delivery covering TW18 and TW19. Pricing is available on request based on the materials and quantity you need.
Staines-upon-Thames sits directly on the river, and its building stock reflects that riverside setting. Older Victorian villas and townhouses line streets close to the water, while the wider town has grown with a mix of twentieth-century suburban housing and, more recently, new riverside apartment developments near the town centre.
Proximity to the Thames means drainage and groundwater considerations come up more often here than in towns further from a river, particularly for gardens and lower ground floor extensions on riverside plots. Landscaping and paving projects are also common, given how many Staines properties make use of a garden that runs down toward the water.
Being close to Heathrow has also brought newer development to the area, which sits alongside the older riverside housing stock and adds a second, more standard-specification demand for structural materials.
From foundations to finishing, Ashwood stocks the core materials Staines 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.

Paving, gravel and topsoil suited to riverside gardens and patios running down toward the Thames.

Underground pipework, storage tanks and soakaway systems suited to groundwater and drainage capacity near the Thames.

Facing brick in red mixed, engineering and white glacia finishes, suited to riverside villa matching and new builds.

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 twentieth-century suburb upgrades and new-build specification.

Standard and moisture-resistant plasterboard alongside internal and external doors, mouldings and skirting.
Landscaping and paving projects come up more often in Staines than in some of our other delivery areas, simply because so many local gardens run down toward the Thames. Riverside plots often call for durable paving, well-planned drainage beneath patios, and quality topsoil to establish planting near the water.
We stock paving materials, gravel and decorative aggregates, and topsoil suitable for garden landscaping, and can combine a landscaping order with drainage products where a riverside garden needs both a new patio and improved water management in the same project.
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 garden project.
Call, email or use the quote form to tell us what materials and quantities your Staines 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 Staines 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.
Landscapers and contractors working on riverside Staines gardens, alongside builders handling new apartment developments in the town centre, benefit from a single reliable merchant that can supply both paving materials and standard structural stock.
A trade account with Ashwood gives Staines-based contractors and landscapers 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 riverside projects, we also support planned, scheduled deliveries agreed in advance, so materials arrive in step with the build programme instead of being ordered reactively.

Paving, aggregate and drainage materials supplied by the pallet for landscapers working across multiple Staines gardens.

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 Staines sites.
Not every Staines customer at Ashwood is a large contractor. Homeowners landscaping a riverside garden, or renovating a Victorian villa near the Thames, can buy the same stock as our trade customers, in the quantity the job actually needs.
Our trade counter team can talk through paving, drainage and topsoil choice for a riverside garden project, or brick matching for an older Staines property, without minimum order pressure for smaller retail jobs.
Riverside Staines properties sometimes need drainage solutions that go beyond a standard soakaway, particularly where a garden or lower ground floor sits close to the water table and needs more careful water management.
Through our supplier network, we can source larger-capacity storage tanks and non-stock drainage components for flood-resilience projects, alongside bulk pallet quantities for bigger riverside landscaping schemes.

Staines' riverside setting means landscaping and drainage materials are in particularly high demand, alongside standard structural and finishing materials for new apartment developments in the town centre. Riverside gardens and lower ground floor extensions generate the most specific enquiries, given the proximity to the Thames.
Properties close to the Thames sit nearer the local water table than homes further inland, so drainage and soakaway capacity needs more careful planning, particularly for garden landscaping and lower ground floor work. We stock larger-capacity storage tanks and full drainage ranges to support this.
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 Staines 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 Staines properties usually come down to the age of the original build and their proximity to the river. 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, we can advise on permeable paving and soakaway-based drainage systems that manage water without adding excessive hard standing to a riverside garden, alongside the paving, aggregate and topsoil needed for the wider landscaping project. Contact our trade counter to discuss your specific site.
