GAP (General All-Purpose Plastics), the UK’s independent trade specialist in low-maintenance PVC-U building products, has hit a major milestone in its national expansion grid with the formal opening of two new Southern depots in Gloucester and Chelmsford.
The dual launch expands GAP’s nationwide network to 114 depots, directly supporting the brand's commercial push into the Southern market by providing local trade installers with premium products, reliable stock availability and competitive trade pricing.
Both locations are fully stocked with a comprehensive suite of uPVC building materials designed to keep local installations moving efficiently.
The depots offer everything from HomeLine roofline systems (fascias and soffits), cladding, trims and underground drainage to FloPlast rainwater systems and Soudal silicones, sealants and cleaners. Additionally, both locations serve as direct-order hubs for bespoke PVC-U windows, HomeFrame GRP composite doors, HomeView bi-fold and sliding doors, plus Rockdoor, GAP's premium door range.
Located at Unit 3, Woodrow Way Trade Park, the Gloucester facility brings GAP's trusted northern footprint directly to Gloucestershire contractors.
Jordan Hutchinson, Depot Manager at GAP Gloucester, commented:
"The reception since we opened our doors here at Woodrow Way Trade Park has been fantastic. Our trade counter is built entirely on straightforward honesty, making sure local fitters get the exact stock they need, when they need it, with zero fuss. Whether it's walking in for daily trims and sealants or ordering a bespoke custom Rockdoor, my team is completely set up to deliver that proud, independent GAP service directly to Gloucester's trade networks."
Positioned at Unit 1, Chelmsford Trade Park (Essex, CM1 3AR), the Chelmsford depot provides a dedicated base for regional tradespeople seeking high-quality building plastics without inflated costs.
Brad Austin, Depot Manager at GAP Chelmsford, added:
"We are incredibly proud to bring GAP’s unbeatable trade prices and strong stock levels directly to Essex. We are fully mobilised to help local installers complete their projects efficiently. We’ve got everything from underground drainage to high-spec roofline ready for collection right now. We're inviting all local contractors to drop by, meet the team, check out our exclusive opening offers, and see the genuine value we bring to the table firsthand."
The coordinated Southern rollout reflects GAP’s continued investment in strengthening its presence across southern territories by positioning specialised trade hubs exactly where installers need them.
Installers, builders and local trade contractors are invited to visit either new depot to take advantage of introductory trade opening offers or to open a hassle-free trade account.
