Only amateurs buy plumbing/heating fittings etc from Screwfix?
I initially assumed so but let's think about it. They probably buy the most stock so get it the cheapest?
 
It was mentioned by me 🙂
However, I would definitely vote for them as they are rally helpful. I believe quite a few people use them as they are specialised in recognising shower valves.
Thanks for your respond Dan
You didn't say it in the thread else it would have been added. And we are asking if they're the most used, not the most cool firm. 😀
 
What about James Hargreaves plumbing depot Dan? We have them in the north, I've been using them a lot latley moving away from Srewfix. Really good prices and better quality.
 
So far is:-

  1. Screwfix
  2. Plumbcenter
  3. City Plumbing
  4. Toolstation
  5. Plumbing
I'll do another ask in a few weeks then publish our findings in some mags and things.

Look forward to next year to see how the results change.
 
Screwfix and Plumbfix are the same shop, I know it's been mentioned above but there is literally no difference other than a few characters on the website. When you log on to the Plumbfix site and look at the address bar it is screwfix.
Looking at the electric forums poll you have combined them there.
i.e. Screwfix/elecfix.
Most Used Electrical Suppliers & Electrical Wholesalers
Either way the poll doesn't change in terms of places. Screwfix are first with or without combining the results for them.

When we announce the results we will mention that plumbfix are screwfix etc

When I next to the sparky one I'll separate them there too.

Their own marketing campaigns are different so to see over the years which ones are getting the accounts registered to them would be nice IMO.

Seems we have a winner by a country mile.

Well done to Screwfix/Plumbfix.
 
Amazon, Screwfix or Toolstation. Amazon is really good for tools and when I compare prices I find Amazon usually comes out on top.
