Which plumbing suppliers do you use? - We'll create a poll once we have a list

[diptin dogshi..]

Toolstation, graham, screwfix, bnq, city

 

[student plumber]

They do a Plumbfix / Electrifix trade counter next to the public one, but we can get tea and bickies.
I have recently seen a black trade/account card advertised, but don't know anything else about it.
If you have a TradePoint account you can use it as well, Screwfix and B&Q are both part of Kingfisher group.

They normally have end of line stuff with good discounts on too.

Sorry, said Tradeit, I meant TradePoint.
Can we not edit our posts now, that was handy.

Screwfix

I have found Grahams the most friendly but they are furthest away.

I am not a tradesman but I have done a lot of DIY for myself and family members.

Quick question guys. I'll make a poll out of the answers and will ask you to vote on it, so that we can clearly find a winner, which we'll then congratulate and stick in some mags and things.

I want a quick reply with which suppliers you mostly use. Whether big or small. Online or offline. Doesn't matter. Let us know the top 2 or 3 you use and I'll make sure they're all in the poll in a months time and we'll start the ball rolling and get some votes in.

Plumb Centre, Screwfix and ~Grahams

My first port of call every time is the Tool station catalogue. If they don't have what I need then I will either try Screwfix or the local plumbing shop.

Not sure why it's VictorianPlumbing that are sponsors.

 

[zzzjim]

... VictorianPlumbing that are sponsors.

It's certain to be a year full of change (and hopefully less stars -"going out")

Any news on the poll yet Dan?

 

[Dan]

I started to create it but got side tracked I'll move it up my list of things to do matey.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Would be good to see exactly what people prefer

 

[Dan]

I agree.

Also good to do it annually and see how the trend changes over time.

We do this on tilersforums for 'Most Used Tile Adhesive Brand' and then every now and again 'Most Used Tile Supplier' as both change over time so we get to see some patterns.

The adhesive firms take it quite seriously and often tweet and blog about the poll when they've moved up it (not so much when they've moved down it lol).
