toolstation

[brian c]

Since i have started doing complete bathroom refits i have found myself buying a lot of products from this store and i find it very reasonable and cheaper than most plumbing merchants,b and q etc...do any of you use this store and if so what do you think of them?

 

[Dan]

That's the firm that was started by the guys who made screwfix I think, they made it after they sold screwfix. If my memory serves me right.

A store opened not too far from me [MENTION=1494]brian c[/MENTION] , so i use them a few times now..

 

[Andy Allen]

i did swimming pools for the father who started screw-fix, then his two sons he sold SF for 80 million kept 60 ,gave each son 10 and also got the sons top boardroom jobs with the new owners ,they were very nice peeps in the west-country .........

[Dan]

The thread probably needs a linky: Toolstation

 

[brian c]

yes Dan you are right about the screwfix founders..etc....they are doing 700x400 towel rads for £35 ,THATS GOOD.

 

[Gazzer]

I use them a fair bit, Decent prices and good locations. I have them in my sat nav in case of emergencies.

If anybody uses plumbing suppliers often, we have a new sponsor coming on the plumbing forum, Williams & Co. Trade only (very strict on that) and they have some very very good prices. Clearly delivery would be an added cost for small bits and bobs but for bigger bits it works out well still I hear.

They're launching a new website in Jan. But you can get brochures for the time being from them. Give me a shout if anybody is interested.

I thought toolstation was owned by Wickes, could be wrong though, I like screwfix personally (part of B&Q) and use them regularly.

I think you're right actually. I must be mixing it up with another one then. I'm sure the blokes started one after they sold screwfix.

 

[The D]

i use them all the time and keep a book in the van
