BRANCHES of a builders merchant in Somerset are extending their opening hours.

RGB Building Supplies stores in Wellington and Wiveliscombe will open earlier during the summer to give customers more flexibility when collecting supplies.

These extended opening times will also help maintain social distancing measures.

Ed Livesey, branch manager at RGB Wiveliscombe, said: “We are always looking at ways we can evolve to support the requirements of our customers, and by extending our weekday summer opening times, we are meeting demand and better reflecting the hours our customers work.”

The building supplier offers products for landscaping, plumbing and decorating as well as bathroom and bedroom showrooms.

The new opening hours will be 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday.
