Merrick’s Hardware has been at the heart of our local community since 1985, when it was founded by Martin Merrick with a simple but powerful commitment: to provide quality products, honest advice, and personal service to every customer who walks through the door. Over the past 40 years, that commitment has never wavered. As we celebrate four decades in business, we’re proud to remain a small, family-run hardware store that values tradition, trust, and community above all else.

Today, Merricks Hardware is owned and operated by Martin’s son, Jonathan, who grew up in the business and learned firsthand the importance of customer care and hard work. He now works alongside his own son, James—Martin’s grandson—who has been part of the team for the past 10 years. With three generations of family behind the counter, our shop isn’t just a business, it’s a legacy built on relationships, reliability, and a deep understanding of what our customers need.

We specialise in high-quality paints, robust garden sheds, and a carefully selected range of light hardware products—everything you need for home improvements, garden projects, and everyday repairs. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, we’re here to offer helpful advice and dependable products with a personal touch that only a family business can provide. At Merrick’s Hardware, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the story.

Enjoy free and ample parking and our shop is open seven days a week; 9am-6pm Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm Saturday and 11am – 1pm on Sunday. Merrick’s Hardware have been giving local employment in those 40 years of business coupled with the our motto ‘that the customer is paramount’.
