About the Covers Southampton Depot

Having previously operated from Belgrave Road, we moved to our new Southampton depot on Empress Industrial Estate in 2019. Covers Timber & Builders Merchants Southampton is one of the biggest in Hampshire, with a particularly great landscaping display including artificial grass, decking and paving.

As well as a friendly team of knowledgeable staff who can offer expert advice, you’ll also find a wealth of building materials at our Southampton depot. Shop timber and panel products, take advantage of our timber-cutting services, or browse quality building materials and landscaping and gardening tools.

Depot manager: Michael Sheath 

“Since I started 10 years ago, Covers has given me plenty of opportunities to develop and discover my potential. I’m proud to work for such a well-run and inclusive company.”
