What builders merchants need

Builders merchants sell to tradesmen who know what they want and DIY customers who need guidance. Stock needs to cover both: jumbo bags and loose bulk for trade, smaller bags for retail, and clear size labels so customers buy the right product.

Best-selling trade sizes

10–20 mm is the workhorse size for paths, beds and drainage. 6–10 mm suits finer work and pipe bedding. 20–40 mm is used for feature beds and heavier ground cover. Most trade counters stock all three.

Bag formats for trade

One-tonne jumbo bags are the standard trade unit — forklift-movable and van-loadable in quantity. 20–25 kg bags suit DIY customers and small jobs. We can split a container across both formats.

Pricing and margin

We quote by the tonne ex-works or delivered, depending on the Incoterm. Builders merchants typically add their margin and sell by the bag or by the jumbo bag. We can advise on typical bag counts per tonne for each product.

Quality that reduces returns

Tradesmen will return stone that arrives dusty, badly graded or full of chips. We wash and screen before packing so the product matches what the trade counter sold to the customer.

Seasonal demand planning

Decorative stone demand peaks in spring and early summer. Ordering containers in late autumn or winter ensures stock is available when the season starts and avoids the spring shipping rush.

Mixed containers for range building

A first container can carry several product lines — pebbles, gravel, chippings and cobbles — letting a merchant test which lines move in their local market before committing to full-container volumes.

Documentation and delivery

We provide commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin. Delivery terms are agreed at quotation stage, with FOB or CIF as standard options for international orders.

Wholesale, bulk and export details

This product is supplied on the same commercial basis as the rest of our range: quantity confirmed against container payload, packing quoted separately and documentation prepared to your broker's brief.
