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, and we are delighted to announce the opening of our third branch at Dunbar in September 2024.

All 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. The Dunbar display is currently under development.

Thanks to Thistle Timber & Building Supplies at the Wisp. Struggled to get a particular round top edging stone through other companies and the team at the Wisp came up trumps! Thank you for going the extra mile.

Just used Thistle for the majority of the supplies I needed to revamp a new build garden and they were fantastic. Competitively priced and good quality materials were provided. Very friendly and skilled delivery drivers. When there was a slight issue with one of the deliveries it was sorted promptly and without fuss. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for the review. Our staff are always happy to help

My go to place for timber and building products. Delivery is always on time and they take care of your property (ie extra planks to protect your lawn) and while shopping in-store they would provide you with the advice

I ordered the wrong size products but the team could not have been more helpful. They quickly altered my dovery and refunded the difference without quibble and a really nice attitude. Prices were the best I found on a phone round. Thoroughly recommend Thistle Timber

Good stop for a home fitted wardrobe project needing supplies. Much better selection of finished wood than B&Q. Only downside is I work a normal 9-5 week so getting to it when its open means a Saturday morning is the only option. All the staff are really helpful. Go out to the yard. Get a list of requirements together. Pay for it at the desk in the main building while the helpful yard crew get the items for you. Jump in the car, drive into the yard, load it directly. Top tips: Have a plan - there is a lot of different timber sizes available. Take a saw, generally 4m+ lengths so make sure you have something to cut it down with in the car with you (Make sure the saw you take is up to the job). Measuring tape is also a must.

Great for better quality wood than B&Q, and cheaper. At least the ply wood stays stuck together, unlike B&Q expensive rubbish
