About Us

Lawson and Son Timber Merchant was established in 1921 in North London becoming Lawsons Whetstone Ltd in 1931.

 

In the early 1950's John Lawson, son and grandson of the founders,  returned from national service, to develop the fencing contracting business with many of the older employees. Timber was on licence and markets restricted. Lawsons moved on into shed and fencing panel manufacture and continually improved the range of products. We were the first to sell fencing materials cut to length and ready treated and developed a steadily growing range of timber and sheet material products for the local repair, maintenance and builders trade.

 

In the 1990’s his son Simon joined the family business and moved the business on further specifically focusing on the loft conversion market, and also by modernising the branches. By understanding how loft conversions are carried out, Simon created a loft package covering all the products and services required, delivered in one package on lorries with huge far reaching cranes that put the goods straight onto the roof. . Recently steel girders were added to the loft service Thus simplifiying the supply to the loft builder

We now have 5 branches that supply the full range of builders materials, bricks, cement, blocks etc and 7 branches that supply timber and fencing to a wide range of contractors around London.

 

Today, Lawsons prides itself of delivering a professional service to its customers and suppliers, underpinned by ethical and honest family values.
