Chandler Material Supplies Ltd

Our Story

Chandler Material Supplies Ltd. has been at the heart of the Essex building industry for decades, providing top-quality materials to both trade professionals and the general public. Established in Chelmsford as a family-run business, we have grown steadily over the years while staying true to our core values of reliability, exceptional service, and commitment to our local community.

Our journey began in the 1950s when the current owners’ grandfather, a post-war builder in the local area, acquired a plot to store his materials. As he built houses, he also began selling materials to other builders, laying the foundation for what would become Chandler Material Supplies. From these humble beginnings, we have continually evolved to offer an extensive range of products, ensuring our customers have everything they need to complete their projects. Our dedication to providing excellent customer service has been a driving force in our growth, allowing us to establish a second branch in Southend, further expanding our reach and capabilities.

Our Values

Despite our expansion, we remain a proudly independent and family-run builders’ merchant. Our success is built on strong relationships with our customers, many of whom have been with us for years. We understand the importance of quality, efficiency, and trust in the building trade, and we go above and beyond to meet these expectations.

At Chandler Materials, we take pride in being more than just a supplier. We are actively involved in supporting local charities and community initiatives, reinforcing our belief in giving back to the areas we serve.

Our company values centre around integrity, professionalism, and customer focus. We believe that personal service and expert advice set us apart, and our team is always ready to assist with product selection, technical guidance, and tailored solutions to suit every project.
