Bathroom makeover time


One of the best ways to give a bathroom a makeover is to replace the taps.
We're making it easy to do with our new collection of complete and ready to fit bathroom tap packs.
Our latest pack is the classically styled Edwardian bathroom tap pack - an all water systems/ low water pressure pack comprising bath shower mixer and matching basin pillar taps.
It's got lovely lines which really stand out when put on a traditional white bathroom suite.

What do prisons & schools have in common?


What do prisons & schools have in common? They both require stainless steel mirrors!
They need them for 2 very different reasons...
Schoolkids love to break things and glass mirrors would be broken very quickly, in prisons glass would be broken to be used as lethal weapons.
So the answer is to use special highly polished mirror grade stainless steel to produce Unbreakable stainless steel mirrors - made by stainless specialists Pland in 5 standard sizes and other sizes to order.

Hygiene in Tattoo Parlours

We've researched the standards of hygiene within the tattoo industry and there's clearly room for improvement.
The most striking fact was that people getting tattooed are nine times more likely to contract hepatitis C than those who don't get tattooed.
The research took in a number of documents from best practice guidelines laid down by local councils to research by Baxter, M Rense.
The result is an article : Tattoo parlour hygiene - reducing the risk of infection that is available on line or free to copy for any interested parties.

Quick fix for burst leaking pipes



Burst  pipes always happen at the worst possible time...mid winter, when you're out visiting friends, gone on holiday etc etc.
If that's happened to you then here's a brilliant new tool - Leak-Mate is a quick fix for burst pipes.
It simply clamps around any pipe (copper, plastic or lead) and seals it until a permanent repair is made.
Just what I needed when a pipe burst in our garage one winters morning!

Pressure Reducing Valves


We do the taps, the fittings and pretty much everything else that dispenses water as long as the water reaches the fitting at a reasonable pressure.
What if the water is coming in at too higher pressure? It needs to be controlled by a pressure reducing valve.
This is a device that sets and maintains the water pressure at a safe level and is for many appliances other than taps such as dishwashers, washing machines etc.
We have selected the Intatec Pressure Reducing Valves because their valves which are made in Italy with full WRAS approved, provide a more accurate and reliable control than many of the cheaper copies from China.
