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.

Outstanding customer service!

My initial review is below, however this company dealt with my complaint so well that it is now a 5 star review! Jo has been a superstar! How customer service should be done!

Shocking service. Ordered 3 gravel boards its been over a week and still nowhere to be seen. Order number 1922-64. Live chat is useless and emails go unanswered. Now dont know if the items are coming or have been cancelled and im out of pocket for a service that was terrible.

Thank you Lewis for your review, and I’m really very sorry to hear of the shocking service you describe - both the delays in your order being allocated and the difficulty you have had in getting updates from us.

Whilst, as a marketplace, it can sometimes take longer than expected for an order to be matched to a supplier, you should always be kept fully informed of progress. I completely understand your frustration at not knowing whether your order was going ahead or had been cancelled.

I can see that your order has now been allocated and is due for delivery on Monday, and you should have received notification of this. I have also called and left you a voicemail to let you know, and a member of the team will follow up with you today.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept my sincere apologies for the delays and uncertainty surrounding your order.

My 3rd time of using them for DIY projects. Just really easy, and very good prices. Stuff turns up on the right day. My only issue is not knowing when (in the day) but that can be unreliable even when dealing with a local supplier.

Thank you Alan for your review and for choosing Materials Market again! It’s great to hear that everything has gone smoothly, your orders have arrived on time, and that you've found our prices competitive.

Thank you also for your feedback regarding a shorter delivery window. We completely appreciate that waiting in can be inconvenient, especially when you are expecting large items to arrive! So just to advise, the notification you receive the evening before includes the name and contact details of the supplier making the delivery, so you can contact them direct for a more accurate ETA should you need one.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback. We really appreciate your continued support and look forward to helping with your next project.

Excellent customer service from Olga.

I did experience some issues with my order, including missing and incorrect items, which was stressful while trying to complete a building project. However, Olga was outstanding throughout the whole process. She was professional, friendly, proactive, and kept me updated until everything was fully resolved.
Problems can happen with any supplier, but what matters is how they are handled. Thanks to Olga's dedication and excellent customer service, all issues were sorted, and I would happily order from Materials Market again.
Thank you, Olga!

Excellent overall experience

Excellent overall experience. I did make a small request for a change which was never responded to and would have been nice if someone had looked into it.
Apart from that, the delivery guys was awesome and very helpful.

Thank you for your review and for sharing your positive feedback.

It’s great to hear the delivery driver went the extra mile to help out, and I have passed on your kind comments to our supplier management team to share with the driver.

We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know!

Order 1919-86

We had our doubts at first, purely because we’d never heard of Materials Market before, but we decided to give them a try.

Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. Communication was fantastic, the website made it easy to place the order, and the prices were the best we could find.

Our only slight criticism would be the delivery time, as it took just over a week, so it may not be the best option if you need materials urgently. That said, everything arrived as expected and we’d happily use Materials Market again.

This is a 3rd party not a supplier

This is a 3rd party not dealing directly with suppliers. They do not make this clear on the site. Once I'd made an order took them 2 days to find a supplier and the delivery date changed by a week . This was no good to me . Nightmare to get hold of to cancel and had to wait on a refund 😒

Thank you Karen for your review and for taking my call earlier.

I was very sorry to hear about your experience and I fully understand your frustration that your order took longer than expected to be matched to a supplier, resulting in a change to the delivery date, and that you then found it difficult to contact us to cancel your order and obtain a refund. As a marketplace, Materials Market works directly with a nationwide network of suppliers to source and fulfil orders, rather than holding stock ourselves. However, this should not affect the level of service you receive, and I apologise that we fell short here.

I really appreciate you taking the time to speak to me, and apologise that we did not contact you directly in the first instance to see if a change to delivery date was suitable. This should be standard procedure and I want to reassure you that this has now been fed back to the team, to avoid situations such as this arising in the future. Customers should always be given the option to say whether they want to proceed when there are changes to their order or delivery, and should not have to spend time then chasing us for a resolution.

I appreciate your patience while we looked into this and want to thank you again for bringing it to our attention.

Very easy to search website for products I required, with each item very competitively priced. Good communication with updates throughout, plus they resolved an error with the order (entirely my fault, I ordered the wrong length of an item!) easily, rapid refund and processed correct item with little fuss. Would recommend
