PGR was established in 1984 as a family business, working out of a singular unit in Laindon, Essex, cutting timber to order for customers in the local area.Since its incorporation, we have seen substantial growth and expansion, now operating from multiple sites throughout the Essex and Surrey area.Being sizeable, whilst remaining as a family business, allows us to offer customers a professional and knowledgeable approach whilst retaining the core values of personal service through the experience that has resulted in the success of the business.Our relationship with the Builders Merchant Federation (BMF), along with our association with the National Buying Group (NBG) and the National Merchants Buying Society (NMBS) provides us with the buying power to compete with the National Builders Merchants and allows us to keep our prices extremely competitive.All branches stock a vast range of building materials from bulk products such as aggregates, blocks, bricks and lintels, to landscaping products and small essential items such as chemicals and tools. In line with PGR's environmental policy, all branches have achieved full FSC® and PEFC chain of custody certification which ensures our timber and sheet materials have been produced from well-managed forests and are sourced responsibly. Quality is high on the priority list for our timber products, whilst retaining competitive pricing, which is why the majority of our timbers are stored under cover away from the elements. We also offer a timber cutting service at our Rayleigh and Romford branches.
