A little bit about us
Let’s be honest, when you’re deep into a build, it’s not the bricks and timber that trip you up. It’s the small stuff. The fixings, the drill bits, the sealants, and the tools that make everything actually work.
Sure, the builders’ merchants have the big-ticket items covered. But when it comes to the essentials you reach for daily- the stuff that holds it all together. That’s where Trade Direct steps in! We’re not just another supplier.
We’re tradespeople too, with over 20 years of hands-on experience in the DIY, self-build, and RMI game. So while we might not sell everything, we sell what matters. The kind of kit we’d use ourselves, on real jobs, under real pressure.
We’re glad you’re here. Let’s build something solid!

Who we are
Trade Direct is a Coventry-based supplier of fixings, tools, adhesives, building chemicals and workwear for tradespeople across the UK. Our roots are in the fixings industry, and that know-how shapes everything we do. We don't try to stock everything a builders' merchant does. We focus on the essentials you reach for every day, and we make sure they're the right ones, in stock and delivered fast.
