City Plumbing & iflo ?

uglydude

Hello everybody,

I'm new here and hope to get some help and advice.

I am planning to have my bathroom done. My plumber (the person that will do the work) suggested City Plumbing.

I have looked through their catalog and pick out what I wanted, Bathroom funiture, bath tub, and WC. However I notice is all under the same branding "iflo"

I have done some research and the only thing I can find it that "iflo" is Travis Perkin own product, and City Plumbing is also relate the company.

the "iflo" product is only sold in City Plumbing and Travis Perkin, so itis really hard to figure out about the pricing and quality of these product.

Was wondering anybody have any experience with the company and this branding, and can let me know regarding the pricing and product quality.

Many thanks

I haven't had any probs with iflo stuff & is well priced

city plumbing is owned by travis perkins again i don't have any probs with them

Second SCRGI - not had any problems myself and it's good to have someone 'local' to talk to should there be any issues.

Travis Perkins are also part of the Wickes etc group in much the same way as Screwfix and B&Q also have the same ownership.

I really wouldn't worry about it!

Sorry to be picky but Wickes are part of the Travis Perkins Group not the other way round. TP Group's brands include:

TP Builders Merchants
Wickes
Toolstation
PTS
CityPlumbing
Toolstation
Tile Giant
Benchmarx.

Pedant hat now removed. OP - do you trust your chosen installer?

Cheers

Thank you so much for everybody reply.

It is scary to see so many brandings/sub companies under one giant one.

Good to hear that people had good ok experience with them. The plumber (who is a good guy) did said they are alright. So I guess I will just go with them and hope for the best.

Didn't realise that Wickes was part from TP, I haven't hear great thing from them, hope City Plumbing are better.

On the side note, it is funny I always thought that Screwfix and B&Q are competition , they are right next to each other where I live.

Again many thanks for everybody help, you learn something everyday.
