BUCO Athlone Contact Details

BUCO Athlone is one of the few builders merchants in Cape Town open seven days a week, and it carries a truss plant on site, which most branches do not.

Local channels

One warning about email. The address BUCO publishes against this store is a named staff member rather than a store mailbox, which means it stops working the day that person moves on and it is not a route the branch monitors as a queue. It is not reproduced here. Use the telephone number, and if you need something in writing, ask on the call for an address to send it to.

Address

57 Belgravia Road, Athlone, Cape Town 7764. Sunday trading from 09:00 to 13:00 is the detail worth planning around, because it is unusual in this trade and it means a weekend job that runs short of materials is not necessarily stalled until Monday.

Services at this location

BUCO lists services branch by branch and they genuinely differ. Athlone offers Insta Cupboard, paint mixing and tinting, buyouts, delivery, estimates, financial services, Pensioners Wednesdays, and two that set it apart: it sells trusses and it has a truss plant on site.

The truss plant is the reason to choose this branch for a roof. Roof trusses are engineered components rather than stock timber, designed for a specific span, pitch and load, and they are fabricated to a design rather than picked off a rack. That means you need the roof plan and the dimensions before anyone can quote, not just a rough idea of the size. Timber roof structures in South Africa are covered by a certification system through the Institute for Timber Construction South Africa, and the certificate issued for the erected roof is the document a bank or an insurer may later ask for, so keep it with the house papers rather than in a toolbox.

Parent organisation

BUCO is part of The Building Company and runs more than eighty branches, including stores in Namibia as well as South Africa. Branch data, including the number, address, hours and the service list, is published per store through the store locator, so check the specific branch rather than assuming the chain is uniform. Consumer complaints that cannot be settled at the branch go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272, with the National Consumer Commission above it.
