About Us

Trusted by thousands of builders, plumbers and contractors across the United Kingdom for quality pipe supplies and expert service.

Our Story

Built on Trade Knowledge, Driven by Service

Pipe Supplies was founded in 2015 by a team of construction industry professionals who saw a clear gap in the market. Local plumbing merchants often carried limited stock, national distributors charged inflated delivery fees, and online retailers frequently lacked the technical expertise to help tradespeople select the correct products. We set out to combine all three strengths under one roof.

Starting from a modest warehouse unit in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, we began by supplying PVC soil pipe and basic copper plumbing materials to local contractors. Word spread quickly among the trade community. Builders appreciated our competitive pricing. Plumbers valued the fact that our staff could genuinely discuss pipe specifications, pressure ratings and jointing methods. Within two years, we had outgrown our original premises and moved into our current facility at Raincliffe House, Barker Lane, Brampton.

Today, we hold over 5,000 product lines in stock across eight major categories: PVC, MDPE, HDPE, copper, steel, drainage, fittings and accessories. Our customer base extends across every county in England, Scotland and Wales, from sole-trader plumbers handling domestic bathroom refits to major housebuilders managing developments of 500 or more units.

Despite our growth, our operating principles remain unchanged. Every order is picked and checked by experienced warehouse staff. Every technical query is answered by someone who has worked on construction sites. Every delivery is tracked from dispatch to your door. We remain a privately owned, VAT-registered business with no external investors and no pressure to cut corners.

What Guides Us

Our Mission & Values

Every decision we make is guided by a straightforward mission: supply the right pipe, at the right price, on time and with the technical support our customers need.

Quality Without Compromise

We source exclusively from manufacturers whose products meet British Standards and European norms. Every batch of pipe and every box of fittings undergoes quality checks before it reaches our shelves. We carry full traceability documentation for all materials we sell, and we will never substitute an inferior product to save a few pence on cost.

Honest Trade Relationships

We believe in transparent pricing and straightforward communication. Our listed prices include VAT. There are no hidden surcharges for standard deliveries to mainland UK addresses. When we say an item is in stock, it is physically sitting in our warehouse. If there is a delay, we tell you before you find out the hard way on site.

Genuine Technical Expertise

Our sales and support team includes individuals with backgrounds in plumbing, pipefitting and civil engineering. When you phone with a question about SDR ratings, compatible adhesives or whether a particular MDPE fitting will work at 12 bar, you will speak with someone who understands the practical reality of your installation.

Speed That Matches Your Schedule

Construction projects run on tight timelines. A missing fitting or a delayed pipe delivery can halt an entire site. We operate a same-day dispatch policy on orders placed before 2pm, with next-working-day delivery across mainland UK. For critical requirements, our team will go the extra mile to arrange urgent or weekend deliveries where possible.

Customer-Centred Approach

We treat every customer the same, whether you are ordering a single pack of 15mm elbows or specifying a full drainage system for a 200-plot housing development. Our trade account holders receive dedicated support, personalised pricing and priority dispatch. We actively seek feedback and use it to improve our product range and service.

Responsibility & Sustainability

We work with manufacturers committed to reducing environmental impact. Many of the PVC and HDPE pipes we supply contain recycled material content, and we actively encourage customers to return offcuts and packaging for recycling through our partnership with a local waste management provider. We are continuously reviewing our supply chain to reduce carbon emissions associated with transport and storage.

Our Facility

Purpose-Built for Speed & Accuracy

Our distribution centre at Raincliffe House in Brampton, Chesterfield occupies over 15,000 square feet of dedicated warehousing space. The facility is organised into clearly defined zones for each product category, enabling our picking team to assemble orders rapidly and accurately.

We invested significantly in racking systems designed to store long-length pipes safely, from 3-metre PVC sticks to 6-metre HDPE lengths. Coiled products such as MDPE and multilayer pipe are stored on dedicated pallet racking with easy access for forklift handling. Smaller items like fittings, valves and accessories are held in a bin-location system with barcode scanning to minimise picking errors.

Our loading bay accommodates multiple delivery vehicles simultaneously, allowing us to dispatch high volumes of orders each afternoon for next-working-day arrival. All stock levels are managed through a live inventory system, which means the availability information you see on our website reflects what is physically on our shelves at that moment.
