About Us – Home & Roost

Welcome to Home & Roost

Where Passion Meets Craftsmanship

Our Story: From Family Workshop to Your Doorstep

Picture this: It's 1982, and in a small British workshop, a family's love for animals sparked an idea. That spark ignited Home & Roost, and for over 40 years, we've been pouring our hearts (and a fair bit of elbow grease) into crafting the cosiest, safest homes for pets and wildlife across the UK.

We're not just another pet supply company

We're the neighbours who stop to admire your dog on walks, the friends who get excited about the new bird feeder in your garden, and the family members who insist on seeing pictures of your new kitten. Simply put, we're animal lovers, just like you.

How it all started

While running his flower stand, Richard Brimm found himself with some left over timber. Always keen with his hands he turned his hands to wood working and crafted some hanging bird tables.

The Rest is history

British-Made Magic:

As proud members of the Made-in-Britain campaign, every product we offer is a little piece of UK craftsmanship. From our spacious rabbit hutches to our cosy cat houses, it's not just about patriotism; it's about quality you can trust and local industries you're supporting with every purchase.

Green Paws Forward:

We've got a bone to pick with unsustainable practices. That's why we're ethically certified by The Good Shopping Guide. From eco-friendly materials in our guinea pig habitats to responsibly sourced cat scratching posts, we're committed to keeping our planet as happy as our pets.

Comfort is Key

Whether it's a luxury cat tree for your feline friend, a spacious two-story rabbit hutch, or a snug hidey-house for your guinea pig, every product is designed with one question in mind: "Would we want our own pets to use this?" If the answer isn't an enthusiastic tail wag, whisker twitch, or happy wheek, it's back to the drawing board.

Easy-Peasy Assembly

We know you'd rather spend time playing with your bunny, cuddling your guinea pig, or trying to convince your cat that the new bed is better than the box it came in. That's why our products are designed for easy assembly. And for those "I'd rather be napping" days? Many items come fully assembled!

More Than Just a Shop

  • Charity Begins at Home (& Roost): We're the proud partners of numerous animal charities and rehoming centers, including those dedicated to finding forever homes for rabbits, guinea pigs, and cats. In 2023, we donated 50% of our Black Friday profits to five amazing animal charities. Because every tail, whisker, and fuzzy paw deserves a happy ending.
  • Knowledge is Power: We're not just here to sell; we're here to support. Our blog and resources are packed with tips and tricks to help you become the pet parent you've always dreamed of being. From litter training your rabbit to creating the perfect play area for your guinea pigs, or understanding your cat's body language, we've got you covered.
  • Honesty is Our Policy: We use Trustpilot for 100% transparent reviews. The good, the bad, the "my rabbit preferred to chew the box" – we show it all. Because we believe in keeping it real.
