Professional Builder
Professional Builder was established more than 40 years ago, with a direct distribution route via the counters of around 3,000 builders’ merchants across the UK.
It’s the biggest title in its market, with over 110,000 copies printed monthly, offering construction product manufacturers the chance to get their products in front of engaged buyers.
The magazine includes information on product selection and installation, Health and Safety, legislation, and advice on running a successful business – as well as regular competitions, giveaways and product round-ups.
In addition to the printed version, the probuildermag.co.uk website offers industry news and product reviews and a newsletter reaches around 20,000 people every week.
You can also view an archive of PDF versions of the magazine here: probuildermag.co.uk/magazines

He subsequently became Editor of Professional Builder in 1987 and Managing Editor of the construction sector in 1990.Having now been at the helm of Hamerville’s flagship title for more than 25 years, he is proud to have instilled a philosophy of ‘making the readers smell the sand and cement’, combining an informal writing style with practical and technical know-how to ensure that Professional Builder is now widely recognised as the UK’s most popular building publication.
