More than a hardware shop

Timber, Building Supplies
& the Sawmill

We are a builders' merchant as well as a hardware shop. That means trade customers and anyone doing up a house can get the heavy stuff and the small stuff in one stop, without a run to town.

  • Timber and sawmill products for building, fencing and repairs
  • Building supplies for jobs big and small
  • Trade and DIY both welcome, same friendly service

Need something specific?

If we do not have it on the shelf, tell us what the job is and we will do our best to get it in for you. It is the kind of thing a big shop two towns over will not do.

Ring the shop or drop in and ask. [confirm: timber cutting to size, delivery and account options]

Timber and steel

Sheds, Supplied and Fitted

Need more storage, or a shed for the yard? We supply and install timber garden sheds and bigger steel sheds, sized to suit and delivered ready to use. Grand for the home and garden, and built for the farming and building trades too.

A Family Business Since 1957

Dan Galvin opened the shop in 1957 and put in a circular saw to cut timber for the area. Today his sons Brendan and Donal run it, still with the sawmill out the back.
