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.

So easy to order from

So easy to order from, local companies are used so delivery is great. Saved me trawling for someone close to fulfil my order. Best of all l got notified all the way through of the progress of my order. Cannot recommend then enough ,on price service and the friendly way the company treats their business.

Rubbish company

Rubbish company! Take order for screws and Timber, but the night before it is due for delivery we are told they can't supply the timber on day specified.
I had to cancel the order, but the screws were delivered and I was charged £9 delivery for a box of screws!

Thank you for your review, and I really appreciate you providing your details so I could follow up on your complaint.

I was very sorry to learn what happened and completely understand your frustration that, whilst the timber could not be sourced for the agreed delivery date, and after cancelling the order, you still received the box of screws you no longer needed - being charged £9 for delivery of a small item.

Where part of an order cannot be fulfilled, you should be given clear information about the options available to you, including the opportunity to cancel any accompanying orders. I’m very sorry this did not happen in your case.

I have flagged this to the team and asked that a full refund be issued for the screws and the delivery, so you will receive notification of this on Monday morning.

In the meantime please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. Thank you.

Good price and quick delivery

Good prices (the best I could find) with quick delivery. When an item was not delivered as part of the order I called and spoke to Riad, who was very helpful. Confirmed delivery couldn't be in time for the project quickly and issued a refund. I've used them a couple of times now.

Absolutely shocking service.

Absolutely shocking service.

I placed an order for cement/postcrete and timber, and during delivery the driver dropped the crate from a height, ripping open multiple bags. Cement spilled everywhere, and because it was raining, the damaged bags became wet and unusable.

To make it worse, the damaged bags were placed on top of my timber, which meant cement leaked all over it. Over time, because nobody has responded or dealt with this properly, the timber has now been ruined as well.

Have tried to call multiple times no answer and no answer to any emails Last time I use their service.

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

I was very sorry to hear about the condition of the materials delivered and the difficulties you have experienced in trying to get this matter resolved. I completely appreciate how frustrating it was to have bags damaged during delivery, resulting in cement being spilled and exposed to the rain, and then to discover that the timber had also been affected.

A member of our team has been working with you on this matter and has forwarded the photographs and information you provided to the supplier for urgent review. Meanwhile we have agreed you will go ahead and purchase the replacement items you need, as whilst we are treating this as a priority, it will be after the weekend before we have an update from the supplier.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused and any delays to your project, and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this for you

Unfortunately I bought some goods from…

Unfortunately I bought some goods from them for which they had 4-5 days to have them delivered. Today when I was required to receive a message from them as to the time of delivery for tomorrow, instead I received a message from them stating that they are waiting for suppliers acceptance and are working to resolve the issue quickly.
This suggested that they could not schedule the delivery of goods within the timeframe which they themselves are promised and as such they lack the ability and capability to deliver goods on time.
Buyers are advised to protect their own interest and avoid buying from Material Market.
To summarise, I would state that they are a dishonest company because they do not honour their commitments and time carries no meaning for them

Thank you Shoaib for your review, and I’m very sorry to hear about the lack of certainty around your order.

Having placed your order with an expected delivery date, it must be extremely frustrating to receive a message the evening before delivery is due advising that the order is still awaiting supplier acceptance.

As a marketplace, we work with a network of suppliers and, on occasion, it can take longer than expected to secure a supplier for particular materials. However, we fully appreciate that this is not the experience customers expect when a delivery date has been indicated, and we should always communicate clearly and proactively where any issues arise.

I have passed this on for your order to be reviewed as a matter of priority this morning, and a member of the team will be in contact with you shortly to discuss the matter further.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the uncertainty and inconvenience this has caused, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Excellent

It was very easy to place an order. Once my order was placed, I was notified of the delivery date.

Before the delivery, I received a WhatsApp message from the company with an update. I asked if the delivery could be delayed by one day, and they were very accommodating and happy to arrange this without any problems.

The item arrived on the revised delivery date and was placed neatly next to my house as requested. Communication was excellent throughout, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free.

I would definitely recommend Materials Market and would happily use them again in the future.
