We stock all the major brands, Fienza, Oliveri, Alder/Vito Bertoni, Linkware and Phoenix to name a few. We are also in a position to take on some clearance, ex-display, overruns and discontinued lines, then pass them straight on. Same brands you would pay full price for down the road, usually with the warranty still attached. The only catch is that what is here today might not be here next week.

Toilets, vanities, basins, baths, tapware, showers, kitchen sinks and troughs, tiles, shower screens and towel rails. If it finishes a room, there is a fair chance it is somewhere on the floor.

Half the people here are on a job. The other half are standing in the aisle with a paint swatch and a photo on their phone, working out whether the tapware matches. Both are equally welcome.

Nobody will rush you and nobody will talk down to you. Ask the question you think is silly. Someone has already asked it this morning.

Mike has spent the better part of four decades on the tools or in the plumbing industry, previously owning Novelli Tapware with his family. He would rather talk your job through than sell you something you do not need. Bring a tape measure and a rough idea and you will leave with a plan.

It is why so much of the trade here is repeat. Builders sending their clients in. Renovators back for their third bathroom. Someone who bought a vanity two years ago, returning for the laundry.
