Second to none
For last 55 years our family company has been installing many of McAlpine’s products, and we will continue to do so. They are made by a long established manufacturer that has a pedigree second to none, the products do certainly speak for themselves as they are made to the highest standards that in return produces the highest quality.
If Mcalpine Don’t Make It You Don’t Need It👊🏼
As a plumber of 18 years I have found if you have a task waste related and if Mcalpine don’t do it you don’t need it… they do so many products Quality is the best and what makes it special they promotes British manufacturing 💙💙💙💦💦💦

McAlpine is an unsung hero of the pluming heating and drainage world in my opinion.
It has offered me peace of mind and my customers value for money for years now.
I’m lucky enough to have spoken with some of the guys at McAlpine over the years, and their dedication to providing solutions to the industry is next level.
We’ve coined a simple motto “if it’s got McAlpine written on it, there is no alternative”
Great Products, great service, great technical assistance and a fantastic British company dedicated to it workforce and its industry

Have been using McAlpine products for years!! Excellent product range to overcome almost every obstacle you may come across in the plumbing industry. The BK1 & BK2 are my go to basin wastes as they are a very robust product and look great too which is rare nowadays. Sk range for kitchen sinks has every scenario you can think of. No Obstacle stands a chance when using McAlpine

Second to none service levels from Ross and Fred, a company that puts the customer first and offer sterling, first class levels of advice and support.
Nothing better
Great products, easy to install. Its a shame replacement seals are not readily available, so you can keep a few in your van stock. Not the cheapest, but by far the best.

MCALPINE HC2650UK BOTTLE BATH TRAP
Very good quality item, not the cheapest, but if it's concealed install, with very hard access, then the extra cost has to be worth it. The cost of a leak isn't worth the risk of fitting cheaper alternatives under a bath or shower tray.
Furthermore this trap has top side access for blockages, and swivels at the base so giving more options with waste pipe configuration. The overflow tube is a wider bore than standard and has a sturdy seal at each end. The cheap ones are junk and often leak.
I have learned that with some products it's best to get the best quality and do the job once without the risks of call backs. Mac Alpine products offer that peace of mind. I also like their sealant adhesive Mac X Seal. This is probably as good as CT1 yet unfortunately not so widely available, it cures faster too.
Lastly McAlpine is a UK manufacturer (for now) and that is as positive as it is unusual.

Quality is consistently good
Quality is consistently good. Design well thought out. Appreciate the Multifit.
The range is extensive and compatible across it.
The PDFs available online with each fitting are informative and excellently presented, serving the purpose.
My first choice for plumbing fittings, worth paying the extra pennies and saving pounds in my opinion.

products are first class
Firstly the products are first class.
I've never since I've been using Mcalpine fittings had a single failure.
Every fitting I have used feels like it's been designed by people who have actually use the parts.
They seem to have a fast turnaround of ideas to production. I think of a fitting id like to have/use I go through the fittings booklet .. And they are there!!!
The fittings are really well made, fit perfectly, they've come out with some really handy fittings.
I get annoyed with suppliers when they don't have or sell Mcalpine products or they've run out...
