Welcome

Barlows Boards Ltd is a friendly, family run, business that has been going for over 35 years. We operate from a 15,000 sq ft warehouse and have a dozen people working from the premises. We buy in 'bulk' items such as chipboard, MDF, worktops, and most other board materials. This 'bulk' buying of raw materials means that you are ensured great prices! We also make kitchen and bedroom units to order and have a large range of components for the kitchen trade. We pride ourselves on competitive prices and prompt delivery services.

Barlows was set up in the spring of 1969 by Bob Barlow who was then in his early 20's and a carpenter by trade. He was born and raised locally and began the business in a small yard in Greet, Birmingham. As the business grew space became limited so Barlows acquired premises at Formans Road in Sparkhill, which allowed the business to expand into the area of kitchen production. In the late 1980's he established an offshoot of his building business which was so successful that he left the building trade altogether and with the help of his wife, Joy, started a highly successful boards business. Over time they merged the board and kitchen businesses together forming the company that trades today.
