Written by the company

Founded by Mick Williams in 1972, we were a traditional local independent merchants for many years. Recently, the combination of great prices and the best products backed up by exceptional service has catapulted us forwards to become a major regional independent and one of the fastest growing merchants in the UK. Whilst other merchants may offer a confusing mess of price lists and discounts, we simply publish our best trade price, and charge the same price to every trade customer. If we get a deal from a manufacturer, then it is available to all our customers. All we ask is that, if we don’t know you, you are patient whilst we verify your trade status, as we do not deal with retail customers.

Staff in branch are brillant!

I have been using Williams for 10 years now. Staff in the Ashford branch could not be more helpful but prices are way to expensive now. I have been forced to switch to Screwfix. Sorry Williams I can't afford to use you anymore.

Not sure about great experience

Not sure about great experience - very few things are in life. But the staff at the branch in Ashford are first class. Always cheerful, have a sense of humour and certainly knowledgeable about most of the products we have to deal with. Prices are good too.

Convenient store and a good location in Bristol.
Just a shame they have decided to close the one and only branch in Bristol.
Sadly this maybe the last time I can use this company.
The staff were always very helpful and polite.
