From our beginnings in the middle of the 19th Century, we are now at the leading edge of builders merchanting through our website. A comprehensive product and price catalogue, order, enquiry and information service is available online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For online timber and building supplies, heating, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, tools and ironmongery. Established in 1869, in Newcastle and one of the city's very earliest merchants to supply the building industry, today the company is a major stockist of Timber, Plumbing & Building Materials serving every sector of the construction industry. In 1954, Herbert Dove put the company into Trust to preserve the purpose and identity of the business and today, like the John Lewis Partnership, profits continue to be distributed to the members of staff. An independent company with branches at Newburn, Ashington, Berwick, Birtley, Bishop Auckland , Carlisle, Hawick, Hexham, Marske, Stockton and South Shields, Dove offer a delivery service from Edinburgh to North Yorkshire, The Lakes and the Scottish Borders. In 2004 the branch network was extended with the acquisition of Auckland Timber and Builders Merchants Limited, in Bishop Auckland.
