Thistle Timber and Building Supplies

Thistle Timber & Building Supplies are open and trading from Monday the 4th of January.
Builders Merchants have been included in the list of essential businesses allowed to remain open during lockdown.
Please continue to keep yourself and others safe when visiting our premises by wearing a mask, sanitising your hands, and remaining a safe distance from all other customers and staff.

We have developed and implemented a COVID-19 Risk Assessment which has been assessed and approved by our Health & Safety Consultants. Our branches are safe to visit, although we do ask that you follow the guidance provided.

Both the Wisp and Gyle branches are open and trading, although there are a number of changes evident when visiting our branches. We are also now able to offer our normal delivery service with 2 - 3 day lead in times.

We are making every attempt possible to carry a full stock of our extensive range, however a number of suppliers have reduced capacity due to manufacturing restrictions. So please feel free to check with us before visiting.

Please also note that our online shop is a delivery only service and that the carriage charge applies to a kerbside delivery to the nearest & safest & accessible location available. And remember to check your spam folder just in case your email device stores your email in that location. If you require any further information please either use our Enquiries Tab or call us, and we will be happy to help. Thank you.

An UPDATE to all of our Customers and Suppliers:

Following Scottish Government's recent relaxation for the Construction Sector during lockdown, we are pleased to announce that customers are now able to call in to branch to order & collect without the need for a pre-booked time slot. In addition we have now opened up our phone lines for normal contact from Monday the 15^st of June. The Wisp number is 0131 669 4125, and the Gyle number is 0131 316 5000.
To enable our branches to follow social distancing guidelines and protect our staff, customers, and suppliers, the number of customers queuing in the shop may be limited during busier times. Materials will be brought to your vehicle on completion of the purchase and customers will be asked to remain in their vehicles until their product is ready for self-loading. Deliveries to site will continue as normal, with a request for customers to remain more than 2m from our drivers at all times. Many of our suppliers have extended lead times so we apologise if we do not have all of the materials you require.

Similarly we will be asking suppliers to provide indicative times for delivery of product to allow us to manage any social distancing impact. Otherwise there may be delays whilst waiting to gain access if it is decided by the gate person that the site is too busy.

Our website remains open for business for deliveries only if it is your preference to place orders online. There is also the option to contact us via our Enquiries Tab on our website - https://www.thistlebuildingsupplies.co.uk/shop/

I would like to thank everyone for their understanding whilst Thistle Timber & Building Supplies remained closed to respect the instructions of Scottish Government. I trust that this decision will be accepted as a socially responsible decision, and thank you for your co-operation and patience whilst we implement our new method of working.

Thistle Timber & Building Supplies is one of the largest independent builders merchants in the central belt of Scotland.

Thistle Timber and Building Supplies was established in 1998 at The Wisp, supplying the construction industry with sawn and dressed timber, aggregates, paving, roofing, flooring, bricks, monoblocks and other building materials. We opened our second branch at The Gyle in October 2006.

Both branches include a brilliant landscaping centre, which do an impressive job of conveying just what is possible with a bit of imagination, skill, and the use of quality products.
