Heating Plumbing Parts

What Heating Plumbing Parts does

Heating Plumbing Parts Ltd (HPP) is an independent, founder-owned retailer and distributor of heating, plumbing, and bathroom products, headquartered in Loanhead, Scotland and operating four physical showroom branches across central and eastern Scotland (Loanhead, Falkirk, Rosyth, Macmerry). Founded in September 2018, the company serves residential homeowners undertaking bathroom renovations as well as local tradespeople (plumbers and bathroom fitters), with commercial property projects listed as a secondary segment. Its product catalogue spans designer radiators and towel rails, Carron and Harrison baths, bathroom furniture, brassware and taps, Impey wet room systems, wetwall shower panels, luxury vinyl flooring, LED mirrors, and bathroom accessories sourced from third-party brands such as Scudo, Atlanta, Harrison Bathrooms, HiB, and Carron.

The business is operated through showroom-led, consultative selling backed by in-house CAD bathroom design and free delivery using HPP's own fleet rather than third-party carriers, a positioning the company emphasises to reduce transit damage risk and differentiate from national chains. The technology stack is modest and conventional: a content website (heatingplumbingparts.co.uk), Google Analytics for traffic insight, email marketing, and downloadable brochures, with no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, mobile app, or disclosed APIs. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-based, with itemised quotations produced for full bathroom projects and a network of vetted plumbers and bathroom fitters used to complete installations.

The revenue model is one-time product sales supplemented by the CAD design and free delivery services, with all four branches generating revenue within a regional Scottish footprint. The company has not disclosed revenue, has no external funding rounds, no parent company, and operates as a private limited company with approximately 20 colleagues. Strategic activity to date has been confined to organic showroom expansion between 2018 and 2021, with no announced branch openings, acquisitions, partnerships, or product launches since the Macmerry site opened in September 2021.

Broad incumbents

• Wickes: UK home improvement retailer selling bathrooms, kitchens, heating and plumbing products alongside building materials. Overlaps with HPP on bathroom retail and heating products, but Wickes is a national multi-category incumbent with no specialty focus.
• B&Q: UK's largest home improvement retailer with national showroom footprint selling bathrooms, radiators, plumbing and heating products. Directly competes for DIY homeowners and trade customers across HPP's category, though at a much broader scale and lower-touch service level.
• Wolseley UK: UK trade distributor of plumbing, heating and bathroom products (now rebranding parts of its network). Overlaps with HPP's trade customer segment and product categories, but operates as part of a much larger national/international plumbing distribution group.
• Travis Perkins (Plumb Center): UK's largest builders' merchant group with Plumb Center branches supplying plumbing, heating and bathroom products to trade customers. Overlaps with HPP's trade-focused assortment and customer base, but operates as part of a much larger multi-category merchant network.

Direct peers

• Drench: UK online bathroom retailer specialising in designer bathrooms, premium brassware, and radiators. Competes with HPP on the same customer base (homeowners renovating bathrooms) and overlapping premium brand portfolio, though purely digital without showroom service.
• Victorian Plumbing: UK's largest online bathroom retailer offering baths, showers, furniture, radiators and accessories direct to consumer. Direct competitor to HPP on product range and target customer (residential renovators), but operates at national scale via e-commerce rather than regional showrooms.
• City Plumbing: UK trade-focused plumbing and heating merchant serving installers and tradespeople. HPP explicitly targets plumbers and bathroom fitters as a primary segment, making City Plumbing a direct competitor for trade customers' spend on plumbing, heating and bathroom product supply.

Regional players

• CP Hart: UK premium bathroom retailer with showrooms in London and select regional cities, offering design-led bathroom suites, brassware and accessories. Highly comparable to HPP on showroom-led premium positioning and customer journey (design consultation + product supply), but focused on London and south-east rather than Scotland.

Emerging players

• Soak.com: Online UK bathroom retailer focusing on baths, showers and accessories. Comparable to HPP on the bath and shower sub-categories within HPP's range, but operates purely online without the showroom and service overlay.
• Bathrooms.com: Online UK bathroom retailer offering complete suites, furniture and accessories at competitive prices. Competes with HPP for value-conscious residential renovators but lacks showroom service, CAD design and own-fleet delivery.
