Ken’s Yard, a new Scottish e-commerce company set up by experienced traders and merchants in timber and building supplies and Ken McLelland former Regional Director of Buildbase, offers an alternative to the traditional builder’s merchant, the local builder’s merchant online for the whole of UK.

Ken McLelland, together with fellow directors Charles McLeish and Joe McConville, previous owners of MGM Timber, have made the builders merchant website to offer a huge range of products from top brands in the building industry.

Amongst other products Ken’s Yard has put together a fully comprehensive offering of roof windows from the three biggest industry leaders VELUX, FAKRO and RoofLITE.

Loft conversions and renovations benefit hugely from a roof window, whether it’s a FAKRO conservation window or a VELUX solar powered, or the fast growing contractors choice ROOFLITE, Ken’s Yard offers the lot. By offering all types and styles, shapes and sizes of roof window the customer has the best choice for job requirement and budget. All of this is backed up by expert advice and customer support online or over the phone.

Managing director Ken McLelland said: “We have produced an automated purchasing sequence, which assigns the correct size of flashings options to any chosen window. This not only a time saver but also prevents the purchaser from making costly mistakes when ordering VELUX roof windows.”

“We have recently launched FAKRO roof windows alongside the industry leader VELUX as both company’s produce extremely high quality products and we are consistently happy with the support we receive and support we can confidently offer our customers when they buy either brand roof window.

"We understand what the building professional needs and are already receiving very positive feedback about Ken's Yard's straightforward and refreshing approach to doing business. Whether we are handling an enquiry from a specifier, a developer, a builder or a householder we are able to help and advise on the best product choice for the job.”
