About us
We are a family run and owned business that’s been in existence for more than 30 years.
Where it all started
Our journey began in 1990
After many years in the hardware trade, our founder Alan Thornton embarked on a new business venture in opening his own heating and plumbing business. Alan recognised a niche in the building market for a dedicated supplier of products to tradesmen involved in heating and plumbing solutions and domestic customers
Our progress towards today
We've evolved a lot
After so many years of expertise we have encountered almost every plumbing query and have developed as a strong solution-based company.
This is no more obvious than in any given day we will help our clients with problems from wells and water purification all the way to solar, solid fuel and under-floor heating enquiries.
We pride ourselves on being local
Customers become friends
From the very start, we’ve been located on the Rathnew to Glenealy road, one mile away on the right-hand side in Milltown Business Park. Many of our customers have been with us from day one and can depend on us for high quality products and service.
Our experienced team is here for you

"Profit in business comes from repeat customers; customers that boast about your product and service, and that bring friends."
Alan Thornton
Company Director
"Loyal customers, they don’t just come back, they don’t simply recommend you, they insist that their friends do business with you."

Product Specialist
"You’ll never have a product or price advantage again. They can be easily duplicated, but a strong customer focus can’t be copied."
