Every buidling starts with a foundation but every foundation starts with the right tools and materials. As Ireland’s largest builders merchant, we are proud to be the partner of choice for builders, homeowners and consumers.
We are a business with tradition spanning over two centuries. We have a national footprint but a local presence. We are present in more communities around Ireland than any other merchant.
The foundation for that success is our colleagues, who are trusted by the customers with whom they have been dealing with for years. They provide expert advice backed up both by best-in-class training and their own front-line experience.
We build long-lasting relationships based on our knowledge, expertise and superior service. Our customers trust us to help them to build extensions, homes and kitchens and to carry out repairs, maintenance and improvements.
We want them to have the best advice and the best product. We also want them to be able to fulfil their needs at the right price, in the right place and at the right time, every time.

Description *1818*
*Our story starts in 1818 when Thomas Heiton set up business in Dublin as a coal importer and distributor meeting the needs of the growing city. In the early 1900s the business diversified, adding a sector specialising in iron products, and from the 1960s onwards, additional products such as timber and plumbing products were added*
*1902*
*Our Chadwicks business was founded in 1902 by William Thomas Chadwick at Talbot Place, Dublin, to supply builders’ merchants and the major building contractors with cement and plaster produced in Ireland and abroad. During this time all deliveries to Chadwicks’ customers throughout Dublin City and County were by horse drawn vehicles. In the early days the firm owned three horses and carts, but as business increased they added a fourth horse and cart and employed another driver!*
*1950's*
*In the ’50s the business expaned, moving to bigger premises in Walkinstown and adding new lines such as fire clay to its range of building products.*
*1960's*
*Further expansion took place in the ’60s and in 1967 the company opened its first branch outside Dublin, in Kilkenny.*
*Today's!*
*Today, Chadwicks Group is Ireland’s leading Builders Merchants and Home Improvement Specialist, offering customers a huge range of timber, building materials and home improvement supplies including plumbing and heating products. We have over 50 branch locations across the country including: Chadwicks, Cork Builders Providers, Davies, Heiton Steel, Telfords and The Panelling Centre.*
