About Elliotts

At Elliotts we’ve been open to the trade and public since 1842, so you can trust us when we say we know a thing or two about building materials.

Today there are 320 employees spread across 13 Elliotts builders merchant branches and 4 Elliotts Living Spaces kitchen and bathroom showrooms across Hampshire and Dorset.

As one of the oldest family-run businesses in the UK, we put our success down to being a people business that cares about its customers. That’s why we offer thousands of great value products that are in stock and ready for collection or delivery.

But it’s more than building materials. It’s about community. We’re proud to have been serving the South coast and making an impact for over 180 years.
