In an industry that tends to be dominated by larger players, Blackheath Mitre 10 and Blackheath Timber stand out from the crowd. The small family owned business is operated by longtime locals who live in the area and understand the needs of this community.
The Hume family have been running the timberyard for nearly 90 years, first by William and Marion Hume, then David, and now Rohan.
The hardware store began in 1941, after the Blackheath community asked professional joiner Bill Hume to supply a hardware store. Bill and wife Shirley initially ran the business which is now managed by their son Rob.
Both stores work hard to consistently ensure that the Blackheath community and beyond continue to have access to top quality goods and services.
The business is a Stihl dealer, with a workshop that can sharpen chains and service chainsaws and lawnmowers.
With a unique range of building supplies, you can usually find anything you’re searching for at Mitre 10, and if they don’t stock the product, they’ll happily order it in for you.
Both stores offer free delivery and the timberyard provides custom sizing of all timber.
The business also builds long lasting relationships with all its customers thanks to its first class service.
In fact, many customers consider the business a meeting place and return just to have a chat with the friendly staff – why not pop by yourself and say g’day.
