A builders’ merchant has opened its first ‘city’ branch in Kington.

Buildbase, which sells construction supplies, opened today (March 19) and is located at St George's Industrial Estate in Richmond Road.

The 4,700 square foot store will sell building, plumbing and electrical materials as well as hire and plant equipment.

To mark the launch, Buildbase will be running special promotions for four weeks, and on March 20 and 27, Fix Radio will be at the branch handing out free butties.
