A) What are Express Stock and External Stock?

In line with our ISO 9001 certified quality management system, all stock travels through our central quality control department to ensure absolute precision and customer satisfaction. The vast majority of our fast-moving stock is held within the internal warehouse of our central hub, ready for inspection and immediate dispatch – this is what we call ‘express stock’. Larger quantities of our products are held in our UK-based warehouse network – this is classified as our ‘external stock’. External stock takes one additional day to reach the customer.

B) Do you have a catalogue?

Our comprehensive product range, including dimensions, pricing, and live stock updates can be found on our secure online store.

C) Your website says a product is in stock, is this up-to-date?

Yes. All stock values on our website come from a live feed of our warehouse's stock levels.

D) How can I contact you?

There are various ways to contact our team. Please see our Contact page for details on how to get in touch with us. We aim to respond to queries within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Additionally, we work closely with a number of manufacturing partners to fulfil orders of less common products.

N) The parts I need are out of stock, when will you get more?
