Toolstation Launches Own Brand Heating & Plumbing Range: Flume

Toolstation has announced the launch of its new own brand collection, Flume, a modern heating and plumbing range compiled of stylish, high-performance towel radiators and complementary valve accessories, blending contemporary design with practical solutions. 

Flume is the tenth own-brand range launched by Toolstation, joining Roktor, Hawksmoor, Pinnacle, Minotaur, Lockworks, Maverick, Made4Trade, Ebb & Flo and Wessex, as the retailer continues to combine high quality with great value to help customers get the job done right. 

The launch aligns well with the nation’s Big Switch On, when households across the UK begin turning on the heating in response to the turn in the weather. However, research from Toolstation has revealed that one-in-five households haven’t checked if their radiators are working this year or boilers in the last five years, whilst one in ten do not know how to insulate a pipe or change the washer on a tap. 

Tradespeople are therefore preparing for a big rise in call-outs across autumn and winter, with just under half (43%) expecting their level of work to increase across this period. Available online, in-store and via the Toolstation App, there are over 80 new items within the Flume range to help plumbers out over the coming months, varying from flat and ladder radiators and a variety of compatible fittings and valves, emphasising reliable quality and cohesive, easily-matched aesthetics, with prices starting from just £1.24. 

Naeem Adam, a Senior Category Manager from Toolstation, comments, “We are delighted to announce the launch of the new Flume range, adding to our ever-growing own brand collection. As one of Britain’s fastest growing suppliers of tools, accessories and building supplies, our role is to help customers conquer each and every job at hand, and with tradespeople’s workload expected to significantly increase throughout autumn and winter. Our new range arrives just in time to simplify plumbing and installation projects with its high-quality offering.” 

Toolstation’s rapid same-day delivery service with TradeKart means customers can get the new Flume range delivered to their home or site in as little as 30 minutes.  

Toolstation’s multi-channel service also means local customers can order online at toolstation.com or on the Toolstation App, and Click & Collect from the store within 5 minutes of ordering, demonstrating the commitment to quickly and conveniently provide tradespeople, DIYers and homebuilders with tools and more to tackle any job through the simple click of a button.
