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.

Williams and a local independent, plumb centre aren't worth all the hassle haggling prices and invoices when price already agreed, pretty sure half the stuff they do is against trading standards.

Mine are Williams first off, then Toolstation/Screwfix. If I can't get what I need in advance through Williams I will pick it up at the latter two. If then I'm struggling I head to the local merchants where I know I will pay through the nose!!

Hi Dan
Sorry but I'm new to this forum thing. You sent me a post & link to profile page to update details but when I enter company name it comes up with 'enter valid format'?? Can you please help. I would have responded to the actual post but couldn't find a reply button??

Thanks.
 
Hi thanks for the reply. The company name is Gas Serve NW. Does it not like capitals or something?
I get the same error I'll take a look when I'm back in work this week. 🙂

Plumb/partscenter, screwfix, b&q, toolstation and various online merchants like showerdoctor
 
I usually buy my tools from Amazon unless I urgently need them then and there, in which case I'll go to screw fix or tool station! Amazon is good for tools if you're willing to wait for them to be delivered.

Screwfix don't even do trade do they? Can't your customers buy everything from them at the same price?

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 Tradeit 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.

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.
 
Perhaps Dan is still waiting for someone to reply "Victoria Plumb". 🙂
Not sure why it's VictorianPlumbing that are sponsors. 😀 😀 😀
 
I started to create it but got side tracked I'll move it up my list of things to do matey.

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).
