Builders' Merchants' sales to builders surge in September
Sales to builders by Britain's builders' merchants surged in September, with sales up 8.3% compared with September 2019, according to the latest Builders Merchants Building Index (BMBI) report.
Q3 2020 sales also increased compared to the same period last year (+1% ) and were significantly up on Q2 2020 (+63.2% ) when many merchants were closed. Kitchens & Bathrooms saw the strongest quarter-on-quarter recovery (+131% ), but Q3 sales were down 7.1% year-on-year.
Year-on-year, landscaping Q3 sales are 24.2% up, its highest level since the index was set up in 2015. Workwear & Safetywear, up 8% compared to Q3 last year, benefited from a continued focus on PPE, while Timber & Joinery was up 3.5% over the same period.
Although year-to-date sales were lower than in 2019 due to the impact of Covid-19 closures, overall sales had recovered strongly by September. The rate of recovery however, varied between product sectors. While two sectors - landscaping materials (+1.5%) and Workwear & Safetywear (+1.2% ) - are ahead of January to September 2019, Kitchens & Bathrooms have some way to go, and Heavy Building Materials is 16.1% behind the same period last year. … »
