Makita UK is celebrating 100 years in the industry where they have been an innovative leader and a manufacturer of best in class products. Founded in 1915 as a small repair shop in Nagoya, Japan, Makita then expanded across the globe and are now present in over 150 countries.

Makita have always been at the forefront of pushing the power tool boundaries by increasing torque outputs, reducing overall weight and size of units, extending battery life and shortening charge times. This has seen the company’s market share rise consistently throughout the years to become Britain’s number 1 professional power tool manufacturer.

If you are installing a Saniflo in your home and you need some top pointers, then the Saniflo 10 golden rules will give you all the guidance you need.

1. All horizontal pipes should have a minimum fall of 1:100. Discharge pipework on the Saniflo should be copper or rigid solvent weld plastic, not “pushfit”.
2. If a vertical run is needed, this should be at the start of the run (within 30cm of the unit) and from the high point there must be a minimum fall of 1:100.

Salamander’s new range of CT Bathroom pumps are designed so that they can be used to supply a whole bathroom and not just specifically showers. This range has been specifically engineered to meet the increased demands for water supply to en-suites, bathrooms and utility rooms.

With their advanced design features, this new range of single and twin ended pumps will quietly and efficiently boost the hot or cold water supplies to showers, baths, basins, toilets and household appliances. With up to 2.6 bar of pressure, higher than the CT Xtra range, you will see your bath fill quicker and an increased shower performance. The added negative head option means there is a CT bathroom pump to suit all installations.

Unveiling an alternative to the long reigning Aqualisa Quartz Digital range has proved to be of great importance to Bristan of late, as the introduction of their new collection of Artisan Evo Digital showers has created a bit of a tidal wave on the Bath & Shower scene – and we believe the hype.

With the intention of creating a Thermostatic Mixer Shower that is noticeably easier to install and still great value for money, Bristan Showers have developed a unique digital technology to make the units easier and simpler to fit, and encourage professionals to take that leap in to the digital showering world, where some may have been too cautious to step before. Added features such as accurate temperature control and digital display, low battery indicator, automatic warm up mode and eco flow create functionality and ease of use.

Grohe is taking the electric shower market by storm with their new Grohe Tempesta 100 pressure stabilized electric shower.

Let us give you a quick reminder of what an electric shower is. It does not need a hot water connection; the cold water is supplied directly from the mains. This means an electric shower is suitable for any water system and you can shower any time, even if your boiler breaks down!

Now the clocks have gone back and the darker evenings are upon us, we are pleased to announce a new arrival! Hitting Buyaparcel very soon will be the Bosch 10.8v GLI DeciLED Professional Work Light.

This clever work light offers a wide range of flexible mounting and positioning possibilities which makes it a perfect lighting solution for most tradesmen.

A new addition has landed this Autumn at Buyaparcel – the perfect tools to make chopping your firewood, or carving a majestic sculpture, that bit easier to do.

Now that the cold weather and dark nights are slowly rolling in, chimneys are a’smokin across the UK – but we need to source that firewood from somewhere, and whilst it might be the expensive answer to buy your wood at your local supermarket, have you ever considered the more rustic, home-grown idea of sourcing it yourself? Maybe resourcing the right equipment to do so has always been a problem? Not anymore.

At Buyaparcel we have been patiently awaiting the receipt of the new Makita 5 amp battery and at last, the time has come!

With all the big power tool competitors fighting it out for the highest rung on the ladder, it was only a matter of time before the Makita BL1850 arrived
