Our Story
Suppling Trades & DIY Enthusiasts Since the 1960s
B&M Supplies is an independent, family-run business serving both local homeowners and professional tradespeople with the same level of care. Whether you are a plumber looking for specific valves or a resident just setting out on a journey toward your dream bathroom, our values remain the same: honest advice, competitive pricing, and a commitment to going above and beyond.
From West Kingsdown to Swanley
Our journey began in the early 1960s at the DIY Emporium in West Kingsdown, founded by Bill Ray’s father. It was there that Bill and Moriene Ray began their life in the trade. Driven by a vision for a larger, specialised outlet, they eventually moved the business to Swanley. We’ve been here since 1983 and have big things in store next year – so watch this space!
Properly Local
Being independent means we aren’t tied to a head office. Instead, we’re tied to our community. We hand-pick our stock from major manufacturers to ensure quality, and we use our sixty years of collective heritage to provide 1-to-1 guidance that you simply won’t find at larger chains. At B&M Supplies, you aren’t just a customer. You’re part of a tradition of excellence that spans three generations.
