Where to go?

[Mile high Mike]

Hey guys.

This is a stupid question but due to not being in the UK for some time, alot of the old companies I used to get my supplies from have dissapeared this may be due to the recession or they new I was coming back home.
Anyone know of any electrical suppliers that are reliable and wont cost the earth. This is mainly for the midlands area.

Many thanks

I know Big, went to Wickes for some conduit and back boxes, seriously Id be better using garden hose and shoe boxes than the tat they sell in there.

And cheers for the pm fellow Mike.

well theres always screwfix n stuff....watch CEF though as they seem to like hiding charges in invoices......but as a rule most of the bigger ones seem to be expensive and i question the service offered sometimes........

Local independants are the best bet, they need your business. The large robbers are just after the big stuff.

Wilts are pretty good at the Coventry branch, and I think a lot of the issues with the bigger chains are down to what happens and who staffs the individual branches. But as already said, track down a couple of independents as their service is usually better, and it's always good to keep the little guys in business.

I've started to use WF Electrical lately, good stuff. There own brand is called Alto but is marked with big names, eg Schneider Kraus and Naimer
