Bulk deals and catalogue prices

The store maintains a bulk deals section with full container loads of 110 mm and 160 mm pipe, as well as clearance items. The catalogue showed examples such as a 450 x 600 mm recessed cover and frame with 10 tonne loading, a 50-metre coil of 110 mm orange twinwall duct — with 94 mm internal and 110 mm external, one coupler included and black in colour for the protection of electrical cables — and items such as a 110 mm 4 way socketed (cross tee) branch at 92.5°, or 100, 80 and 60 mm land drain end caps in singles and packs of twenty. The company applies a price match guarantee: if the customer finds a lower price, it undertakes to match it.

Product origin and standards

The products come from leading UK and European manufacturers that work to ISO9001 standards and meet current UK requirements, including British Standard, BBA and WRAS approvals.

Logistics, lead times and customer service

The company states that its team has over 40 years' combined experience and that it offers advice on choosing the right product for each job. For items in stock, the aim is next working day delivery, with free delivery on orders over £150 plus VAT. For a minimum order value, it delivers 6-metre pipe to areas in and around the M25. Delivery charges are calculated and added automatically to the basket before the order is confirmed. Payments are processed through Stripe and PayPal. Telephone customer service is available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Relocation and operational notices

The site advised that the company was in the process of relocating its main depot to larger premises, which could cause minor delays to orders or temporary adjustments to usual operations. It also warned that its freephone line had been down for a few days, so it asked customers to use the company mobile telephone as an alternative. The head office is listed in London and visits are attended by appointment only. The company is registered in England and Wales.
