About Us

We have departments catering for the household and the handyman. Giftware, cookware, clothing, lawnmowers, paint, machine tools, pumps, welding and many more items, plus a wide range of spare parts. We also have an extensive range of camping and tramping equipment for those who enjoy the great outdoors and our surrounding National Parks

E. Hayes & Sons has built a very proud tradition of service and quality since our early beginnings in 1900. Our firm has had a shop in Invercargill since 1934 and one of our famous features is the tool bar, over 100m long, and the longest in the country.

To call E. Hayes & Sons a hardware store oversimplifies the wide range of products and services we supply to many industries throughout the South including major and not so major customers in Southland.

But we are not just a hardware and engineering shop, as many loyal customers throughout Southland will testify. We have kept abreast of the times and the diverse range of stock is astonishing.

We are proud of our New Zealand-wide reputation and many northern visitors to the city – and even some from overseas – make a point of calling in to inspect our vast variety of goods.

If you are visiting our site for the first time we trust you will find what you are looking for. If not then please don’t hesitate to contact us or e mail one of the team for that special item you are looking for.  If you haven’t been able to find it yet, chances are we will have it. Just ask us.

E. Hayes & Sons - Where people come first.  Proud to be aligned with Hammer Hardware to provide local advice and services as well as TradeZone industrial to provide exceptional service to all industrial customers.
