What We Do

It would be easier to list what we don’t do than what we do! We have a wide and varied range of stock, we have all the products to start and complete any job, from foundation to decoration. On top of being a Builders' Merchant, we also carry a wide range of light hardware and household products. We recently refurbished our stove, doors, flooring, and bathroom sections, we carry and mix paint brands such as Colourtrend, Dulux, and Fleetwood. We also carry a wide range of fuel, home and gardening products. Customers are the core of everything we do. We know that without them, the business would cease to exist. If we don’t have a product in stock, we will do our best to source it.

We offer a wide range of services such as paint mixing and colour consultation, key cutting, expert advice, and free quotation across our doors, floors, and bathroom sections, garden furniture and bbq assembly, and much more. We have free parking onsite and are happy to carry out to our car. For larger items, we offer a local delivery service.

Our History

Family-run since 1970, the business was founded by James Andrews and originally located on Austin Friar Street, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. The primary focus was originally on just light hardware and building materials. David Andrews has been the store owner since the late 90s. The business has grown from strength to strength with David at the helm and with the valued support of the staff, his loving wife Amanda, and their children, all of whom have worked here during their school and college years. During David's tenure, the business has seen many re-developments. The shop floor and showroom areas have increased from 4,000 ft² to 14,000 ft². There have also been improvements made to the external storage areas that cover a two-acre site. Recently the shop has undergone a major expansion with improvements to the flooring, bathroom section, paint, and trade counter areas. We are sure the future is bright, with many more successful years in business ahead!

The local community

The Andrews family has long been associated with the building industry in Mullingar and nationwide for the last 50 years. Topline Mullingar Hardware has supported numerous local groups and charities through sponsorship and the provision of spot prizes. We have been the proud shirt sponsor for the thriving local soccer club, Mullingar Athletic, for the past 10 years.

Topline Mullingar Hardware’s staff members also have strong links to the local community; for example our Manager Diarmuid Donoghue is a former player and captain of Mullingar Athletic Football Club, and our Warehouse Coordinator Kevin Keegan was also club captain. Our Floor Manager Colin Pierce regularly participates in epic bicycle rides to raise funds for local charities.

The Topline Mullingar Hardware staff all come from the locality and have provided us with many years of service and dedication. Some of the team have been employed here for over 20 years.
