About Us & Our Services
Welcome to Clarkes
Clarkes are one of the largest independent suppliers of building, farming and garden materials in East Anglia. The new catalogue contains listings of the main suppliers and products stocked at our ten acre site in the pretty village of Walsham le Willows.
This comprehensive guide contains over 15,000 different product lines. We have, where possible, listed all major suppliers. However, sundry items, such as Tools, Files, Saws, Ironmongery, Nails, Bolts and Nuts, Washers, Plumbing items and Electrical items are too numerous to list in one catalogue. Therefore if you cannot find an item in the catalogue, please call us, we usually will have it.
Our history
In presenting our website we think this is an opportune time to re-introduce our founder, Horace F. Clarkes and we take pleasure in reproducing above, a drawing featured in the WEEKLY DISPATCH of 1898 on account of his 'remarkable successes at swimming'
Horace was the son of a well-known auctioneer and took over his father's business in the early 1900's. The auctioning of agricultural requisites led to his establishing a timber yard, which after the First World War had become a builders' merchant, called Horace F. Clarkes and in 1954 was made a limited company.
Still a family business, four generations of the Clarke family have been actively involved in the business which occupies discreet 10 acre premises in the unspoilt village of Walsham-le-Willows. The last 30 years have seen steady expansion and Clarkes now employ 100 people and run a large fleet to deliver their goods throughout England.
No competitor can supply such a wide range of top quality products, from stock.
