Written by the company

Materials Market is a UK‑based digital marketplace for construction materials, created to make sourcing building materials simpler and more efficient for everyone involved in a project. Instead of ringing round multiple local suppliers to compare prices, check stock and chase delivery slots, customers can use a single online account to access a broad network of suppliers with over 1,000 branches nationwide. Our platform brings together a fragmented supply chain in one place, so builders, contractors, property professionals and serious DIYers can find the materials they need without the usual friction. Customers can browse a wide range of products - from timber, sheet materials and insulation, through to roofing, plasterboard, drylining and related accessories - all supplied by vetted builders merchants and distributors who are supported by our in‑house Supplier Team. Behind the scenes, our marketplace technology co‑ordinates pricing, allocation and delivery, helping customers line up materials and plan jobs with greater confidence. By encouraging suppliers of all sizes, from major nationals to independents, to work through a single platform, we create a strong customer proposition. Today, thousands of customers use Materials Market to keep projects moving, with new suppliers, product categories and ways to buy being added as the marketplace grows.

A waste of my time, these reviews are made up. Don't bother with these jokers.

A waste of my time. Most of these reviews read the same and are probably made up.
I ordered 45x 32mm x 150mm Softwood Grooved Reversible Decking Board 4200mm on Wednesday 27th May for delivery on Tuesday 2nd June. The price quoted was £653.40 - that was £300 cheaper than anything that I could source locally so i thought I'd give them a go.

I heard nothing but kept checking the order, it kept saying 'Matching to a supplier'. Then I started reading Trustpilot reviews!
On the morning of 2nd June it looked like something may be happening but by the afternoon the delivery had been put back to Thursday 4th June. Then on Wednesday 3rd June the order was cancelled. I won't be bothering again.

Thank you Jim for your review, and I’m really very sorry to hear about the experience you had with your order.

Whilst, as a marketplace, there can occasionally be challenges in matching orders to suppliers, you should always be kept fully informed throughout the process. For your order to be delayed and then cancelled after you had been expecting delivery is clearly not acceptable, and I am very sorry for the annoyance and disappointment this caused.

We have since secured your order and attempted to contact you, but as we have not heard back, we assume you have sourced the items elsewhere and no longer wish to proceed.

I would also like to respectfully address your comment regarding our reviews. We certainly do not 'make up' customer reviews - they are independently submitted and reflect the experiences of our customers, both positive and negative. We value all feedback as it helps us identify where we need to improve, and we have taken note of what happened with your order to reinforce to the team the importance of providing clear communication and timely updates on order status and any delays.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies once again for the inconvenience caused.

Thank you, Henrique, for your review and for taking my call just now.

It’s great to hear that you were happy with the quality of the wood overall, as well as the service and delivery. I am sorry, however, that one of the planks arrived with some damage.

We take product quality very seriously, so I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I’m pleased that you were still able to use the timber for your project by positioning the damaged side out of sight, and that a replacement was not required.

Thank you for your understanding and feedback. We really appreciate your custom and look forward to helping with your next order.

Thank you Mr Comerford for your review and we were sorry to hear about the quality of some of the lengths of timber you ordered. I'm pleased that whilst they were not of the standard you were expecting, you were able to make use of them for another part of the job - and we were able to refund you for those lengths.

We take quality of materials very seriously, so thank you for bringing this to our attention and for your patience while we gathered the information to resolve this. We look forward to working with you on your next order and please do feel free to contact us directly with any future issues.

Delivery on scheduled day and driver called ahead to confirm I was next stop.

Only issue was the 6m joist I ordered where anywhere between 640-645 cms not great when they need to be exact, but that’s how they come I suppose.

Thank you Johnny for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback.

It's great to hear that your delivery arrived on the scheduled day and that the driver called ahead to let you know you were the next stop. Good communication and reliable delivery are exactly what we aim for.

I am sorry though to hear of your concern regarding the joists. Whilst it is not uncommon for timber to be supplied slightly over its stated length to ensure that the minimum advertised length is achieved, it does sound like the lengths you received were significantly over 6m - so can appreciate the inconvenience where precise dimensions were required for your project.

Thank you again for your feedback. We value your custom and hope to be able to help with your next project.

Thank you Miss C for your review, and I’m very sorry to hear about the experience you have had with your recent purchase from us - that part of your order was missing, and that you then experienced difficulties both in getting the issue resolved and in contacting our Customer Service team. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and I fully appreciate how frustrating this must have been.

We would very much like to investigate what went wrong and understand the circumstances surrounding your order. Unfortunately, we are unable to identify you from the details provided in your review, so I would be very grateful if you could respond to our request for details via Trustpilot or provide your order number so that we can look into this as a matter of priority.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment caused.
