Why Choose Rock Bottom Northampton: Range, Expertise & Local Service

Northampton has several options for building supplies – from national chains to online-only suppliers. So why choose Rock Bottom Northampton? The answer comes down to three key factors: an exceptional product range, genuine expertise, and committed local service. Here's what sets us apart from the alternatives.

Exceptional Product Range: 50,000+ Lines

Most builder merchants stock a few thousand products. Retail DIY chains might have 10,000-15,000 items. Rock Bottom Northampton stocks over 50,000 products – making us one of the most comprehensive building supplies stockists in Northamptonshire.

Why Range Matters

Comprehensive range isn't about numbers for their own sake – it's about having exactly what you need, not just something close to it.

Example: Drill Bits
A typical store might stock 50-100 drill bits. We stock over 1,000 different drilling products. This means:

• The exact diameter you need, not "close enough"
• The right bit type for your material (metal, wood, masonry, SDS)
• Quality levels from budget to professional-grade
• Specialist bits for specific applications

Example: Screws
Rather than a handful of screw boxes, we stock over 300 different wood screws alone. The right length, gauge, head type and finish for your specific application.

Example: Security
Instead of a few basic padlocks, we offer over 1,000 different keyed padlocks covering every security level and application from shed security to commercial high-security needs.
