Established in 1877 and still owned by the Richardson family, James Burrell Builders Merchants is a comprehensive concentration of experience and expertise in the supply of heavy side building materials.

After 133 years, James Burrell Builders Merchant has a comprehensive concentration of experience and expertise in the supply of heavy side building materials. Our aim as the regions leading independent Builders Merchant, is to provide the very best services and products available.

Our eight depots at Newcastle, Blyth, Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Bishop Auckland, Stockton, York and Ossett were selected to best serve local, regional and national based contractors and house-builders working in our region. 

 Their strategic locations allow our fleet of heavy goods vehicles, to deliver  over 247 tonnes of material, first drop each morning.

Our administrative and service support is geared for speed and accuracy.  For example our team of estimators are ready and waiting to price you enquiries and bills of quantities.  Their rapid response structure means that your enquiry will receive prompt attention and will be returned comprehensively priced.

What's more the James Burrell Direct to Site and Ex Depot sales people are supported by a vast range of  Building Systems stocked in depth at our eight depots.  It is our policy to eradicate your need to shop around because we deliver quality and price plus we stock the whole system, not just individual items. 

Which means whatever your requirements - you can get it from us.
