This may only be a small independent plumbers merchants but worth its weight in complete Plumbing & Heating gold. Bob in particular has truly remarkable knowledge of the trade making the experience a true delight every time I undertake a visit at Ballcock and Bits.

Our Story
John Lovejoy, Founder and Director, opened Ballcock & Bits for business in 1982. Robert Kind came on board in 1988 as they incorporated the business. Due to the ever-growing success, Ballcock & Bits were able to open a bathroom showroom which has grown over the years and recently had a makeover.
Ballcock & Bits has featured in the Bizarre magazine and made an appearance on Radio 1 for its great name. There's also been a space for Director John Lovejoy in the book of who’s who. Ballcock & Bits continues to expand, employing more staff to support the showroom, customers at the trade counter and account management.
In nearly 40 years, Ballcock & Bits has seen competition come and go in the Bracknell area, but Ballcock & Bits is still standing strong (and growing) as the longest-running independent merchant in the borough. Much of our ever-growing success is largely to do with the customer service, expertise and care that goes into every customer interaction. It was present 36 years ago, still present now and will be present forever in the future. We’re proud to be Ballcock & Bits!
