FAMILY-RUN KENT Blaxill has been based in the Colchester area since 1838, when it was founded as an oil and glass business on the town’s High Street. Since then, the firm has expanded across thirteen sites across East Anglia, offering paint, timber, glass, ironmongery, tools, landscaping, building supplies and kitchen and bathroom products. It has also been known as a kitchen and bathroom specialist since 1963, when the company first moved from Colchester High Street and opened a purpose-built site at Layer Road.
