Within this, the largest category, heavy building materials, was down by -3.0%, timber &amp; joinery by -5.2%, landscaping by -1.9% and plumbing heating &amp; electrical by -0.7%.<\/p>\n<p>A few categories did experience an increase in sales. For example, kitchen &amp; bathrooms rose by +4.7%, renewables &amp; water saving by +8.2% and workwear &amp; safety wear by +7.6%.<\/p>\n<p>The BMBI uses GfK\u2019s point of sale tracking data drawn from over 80% of builders\u2019 merchants\u2019 sales throughout the country.<\/p>\n<h3>2019<\/h3>\n<p>Taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/building-product-sales\/55921\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2019 as a whole<\/a>, builders\u2019 merchants experienced marginal growth of +0.1% against 2018, albeit having one less trading day this year.<\/p>\n<p>A review of the 12 topline categories tracked by GfK shows that four of these saw a decline in value from 2018. Tools have seen the largest drop, decreasing by -6.3%, with heavy building material (-0.1%), timber &amp; joinery (-1.0%) and plumbing, heating &amp; electrical (-0.3%), also showing negative growth.<\/p>\n<p>Emile van der Ryst, senior client insight manager of trade, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gfk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GfK<\/a> said: \u201cWithin the core categories, heavy building materials reported small declines in most key areas such as bricks, blocks, roofing and aggregates, with plasters &amp; plasterboards the big winner in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth timber and sheet materials saw declines within the timber &amp; joinery category, with cladding and flooring the areas with the most positive growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Another bumpy ride for builders\u2019 merchants<\/h3>\n<p>John Newcomb, BMF CEO, added:\u00a0 \u201cThe final Quarter of 2019 didn\u2019t give builders merchants much to cheer about and the same can be said for the year as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Brexit drama dominated headlines and created uncertainty across all spheres of business in the UK, including the Builders\u2019 Merchant industry. Differing weather events in 2019 vs 2018 also played a part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking forward, Q1 2020 could bring another bumpy ride.\u00a0Word on the merchant grapevine is that January trading was more positive, but with Storms Ciara and Dennis in February, we are unlikely to see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/industry-needs-from-boris\/70372\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boris Bounce<\/a> just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final quarter of 2019 rounded off a disappointing year for builders\u2019 merchants, as severe weather events and Brexit uncertainty takes its toll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[308],"tags":[615,965,676,431],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-plant-equipment-supplies-news","7":"tag-builders-merchant","8":"tag-builders-merchants-federation","9":"tag-construction","10":"tag-plant-equipment-supplies"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Builders\u2019 merchants endure disappointing year in 2019<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The final quarter of 2019 rounded off a disappointing year for builders\u2019 merchants, as severe weather events and Brexit uncertainty takes its toll\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/builders-merchants-2019\/72286\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Builders\u2019 merchants endure disappointing year in 2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The final quarter of 2019 rounded off a disappointing year for builders\u2019 merchants, as severe weather events and Brexit uncertainty takes its toll\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/builders-merchants-2019\/72286\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
