[Ray Stafford]

Sorry Billy. RM have looked after us for 25 years, and we are nothing if not loyal.

We list megaflo because we have to, and other makes as spin offs from the boiler brand, but RM out sell all the rest put together by a factor of 10:1.

No plans to change our allegiance.

RM's a nice solid cylinder.

Your Williams own brand plastics, how has that come about?

Your Williams own brand plastics, how has that come about?

Long story, but in essence we disagreed with Polypipe. They felt that installers would be happy to pay the best part of a quid for a solvent waste fitting if it had their brand on it. Our view was that this was unsustainable in the face of more realistic pricing from the likes of Floplast via Screwfix. A solvent waste fitting just doesn't carry that much brand sensitivity. After three years of arguing with them about it we told them last year that we were going to market an own-brand waste fitting, and invited them to tender for making it.

However, they declined, so its being made for us by Davant in Herefordshire. Amusingly, some of the slower moving items are made for Davant by ... Polypipe!

Its only a[DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/pipe-fittings/soil-waste-traps-and-overflow/solvent-waste-pipe-fittings/pre-packed-waste-pipe-fittings.html"] limited range[/DLMURL] at the moment to test the water, but early signs are encouraging. By the time our merchandising team got back from setting up the stand in Southampton (20 mins away) it had already sold out of some lines.

Not at the moment, but that sort of product is under continuous review.

Your welcome mate.

And one of the few things that are actually made in Britain these days. Not just packaged in the UK, or assembled from parts made elsewhere - they
make the cylinder in their own factory.

Ray, Any plans to do the waste pipe and fittings in black. As i find the white can get scuffed easy so does the black but you dont see it.

A kunckle is that obnoxious male relative who always manages to annoy everyone at family gatherings.

Ahhhhh! Like Lame Plumber you mean?

 

[Nostrum]

Ray, will you be including Danfoss TRVs etc or are you limited to electrical items etc?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Kunckle. Noun. Archaic term for the sort of scotsman who compensates for possessing very small genitalia by nitpicking about the spelling on a poor plumbers merchant website. Formerly thought to be extinct, but there have been reported sitings in the Bathgate area of West Lothian.

🙂

Thanks Lachlan. Fixed now. 🙂

Not sure Sam. We are still in first date territory with Danfoss.
