About MaterialsSorted

MaterialsSorted is developing a simpler way for tradespeople to compare whole-job material baskets across price, availability, travel time and delivery.

Buying materials for a job usually means checking supplier after supplier: one has the timber, another has the boards, and the cheapest price is worthless if it means a 40 minute detour or a wait until next week. We look at the basket as a whole — everything you need for the job — and show which buying option actually gets you working soonest for the best total cost.

What we're building

  • One list. Tell us what the job needs, once.
  • Whole-basket comparison. Total cost, not just individual item prices.
  • Real-world factors. Stock today, travel time to the branch, and delivery options.
  • More suppliers. Big name merchants alongside specialist independents.

Where we're up to

We're at launch stage and working with early users and suppliers in the Midlands before opening up more widely. MaterialsSorted is coming soon.
