Read Brothers Ltd are a Timber Merchant, manufacturer of Roof Trusses and Engineered Flooring Systems who have been serving Norwich and the surrounding area since 1981. Having worked for a national chain of timber merchants for 25 years it was always the dream of Ray Read to run his own timber company. Unfortunately he died suddenly in 1980. However his sons fulfilled that dream and began trading from the current site in 1981. From a humble start, Read Brothers grew sufficiently for Mallinson Denny (MALDEN) to buy the business from the family in 1988. With the demise of the Malden Group, the brothers were able to buy back the company in 1992 and refocus the business on being a traditional timber merchant. About this time, Read Brothers started Roof Truss Manufacturing and have now become a main player in roof trusses locally. More recently, Read Brothers have installed a ‘Floor Beam Press’ and are now able to supply easi joists© metal web floor systems. Read Brothers provide a personal service to clients; when you deal with us you will invariably be talking directly to one of the company principalS. We respond quickly to enquiries and turnaround orders efficiently and with minimal fuss.
