Celebrating 110 Years of Tippers – Throwback Thursday!
A great photo from 1993, showing the front entrance of our Wolverhampton branch, complete with the entrance to our Kitchen & Bathroom showroom.
And here’s a fun fact - did you know that Tippers’ original brand colours were green?

In 2026, Tippers celebrates 110 years in business, a huge milestone for our 5th generation family-owned and independent company. Tippers was founded in 1916 as a builders’ merchant, but our roots in the building materials trade go back even further — to 1888, when the Tipper family operated an Alabaster Gypsum mine in Tutbury!

Proud to support one of Lichfield’s oldest traditions! 👏
Our Lichfield Branch and driver Pete were delighted to support the historic Lichfield Bower yesterday - a tradition dating all the way back to 1147.

We provided one of our lorries free of charge to the 7th Lichfield Scouts, who did a fantastic job transforming it into an incredible float complete with castle turrets! 🏰

A huge well done to all involved for achieving an amazing 3rd Place in the float decoration competition! 🥉

Celebrating 110 Years of Tippers – Throwback Thursday!
A great snapshot from 1993 at our Haymills branch yard - showcasing a large selection of Mini Bags, along with one of our Renault delivery trucks, a Bobcat, and the bulk bagger in action.
Over 30 years later, while the equipment and technology have evolved, that same dedication to service, quality, and supporting the trade is still at the core of Tippers!

In 2026, Tippers celebrates 110 years in business, a huge milestone for our 5th generation family-owned and independent company. Tippers was founded in 1916 as a builders’ merchant, but our roots in the building materials trade go back even further — to 1888, when the Tipper family operated an Alabaster Gypsum mine in Tutbury!

Take a look at this latest install using our Retrofit Underfloor Heating System 👇 – designed and supplied by Tippers, featuring:

✅ 20mm Insulated Overlay Boards
✅ 16mm Multi-Layer Composite Pipe
✅ 10mm Setcrete Floor Levelling Compound
✅ Engineered Oak Flooring on Top
✅ Individual Room-By-Room Control

Perfect for renovation projects, this retrofit system delivers efficient, even heat without the need for major floor construction/groundworks. Running at lower temperatures than traditional radiators, it’s also far more energy efficient - meaning less work for your boiler and lower energy bills.

We’re proud to share that Tippers has been recognised by the Builders Merchants Federation - BMF and Builders' Merchants News as one of the Top 100 Companies trading for over 50 years. 🏆

This recognition celebrates 50 builders merchants and 50 suppliers who have helped shape the industry for five decades and beyond - and for us, it feels especially meaningful as we celebrate our 110 Year Anniversary in 2026.

Founded in 1916, Tippers has proudly supported generations of tradespeople, contractors and local communities across the Midlands. Reaching this milestone, and being acknowledged among the industry’s longest-standing businesses - is a testament to the strength of independent, family-owned merchants and the loyalty of our customers and suppliers.
