Construction Resources is Britain's first ecological builders' merchant, and a centre for ecological building, bringing together under one roof in central London a unique range of state-of-the-art building products and systems.
We sell high-performance building materials and systems, for both domestic and commercial construction, which combine maximum use of safe, healthy, renewable natural materials with minimum use of energy and of non-renewable and non-recyclable resources. This embraces products and systems of a wide range of complexity, from the most basic unfired clay bricks and plasters, to the most sophisticated heating control systems providing maximum comfort and efficiency with minimum use of non-renewable fossil fuel. In all our activities we actively promote environmentally sound design and practice.
Our converted factory building includes 3 floors of display, a seminar room, a training and demonstration room, a warehouse with trade counter, and advice counters staffed by specialists in each product area. Our services are mainly directed towards the building trades, architects, engineers and other professionals, but the building is also open to the general public. All the products on display are available for sale from our centre and we deliver all over the UK. Some items, such as paints and finishes, insulation materials, rainwater filters, brushes and tools, and books and magazines on sustainable building, can be taken away the same day: other products may need to be ordered and require a couple of weeks for delivery.
Seminars and the provision of information are an important part of our activities. Both introductory and specialist seminars are open to the general public as well as to professionals, and we have a range of product information sheets available both online and for collection in person. We also do training courses for trades in the application, installation and maintenance of many of the specialist products and systems which we sell.
