1st Supplies

1st Supplies take pride in outstanding services levels and have product knowledge that our competitors find difficult to match. Established in 1997 in a small shop in Kent distributing lead, and lead related products to the roofing and construction industry, the business has grown rapidly to service the South East of England. Since taking over 1st Supplies Steve has diversified into stocking other roofing products such as slate, tiles.

1st Supplies was set up in 1997 initially as a distributor of lead and lead related products to the roofing and construction industries. We were originally set up from a small shop in Chislehurst, Kent in March 1999 to service demand in the South East of England. The business grew rapidly and relocated to a warehouse in Orpington, Kent where further expansion followed in 2003 with the acquisition of Leadplus UK Limited, a lead related products and hard metals specialist business. Both businesses continue to operate under their own name and brand.
