Excellent service

I needed a replacement part for my shower trap I had no good details or a part number
I got through to Lynn
She asked me loads of questions and got me to send photos of the part
She was very patient with me and said she would contact me
Next day she sent the part
This was as good a customer service experience as I've ever had

As a sales person

As a sales person, who's been in the plumbing trade for over 20 years, i have found that McAlpine is the best in the trade for the items that they manufacture and for the customer service that they provide when you need help to sort with and source their products if we don't stock it ourselves

McAlpine customer service staff are really helpful

McAlpine customer service staff are wonderful. I wasn't sure what the exact part was that I needed to get the right part for the job - Gillie Currie did! Gillie was first class, nothing was too much trouble and is a great representative for the company.
Thank you Gillie your a star.
Best Wishes

Paul Burt

The midlands area sales manager, Paul Burt was extremely friendly and helpful with advice and selecting the recommended drainage trap which was readily supplied then and there from the boot of his vehicle. Spot on, would recommend their products and/or advice.

Very poor response to query

Have found their products good in the past. Asked a simple question online about dimensions of one part of one product. Got an immediate auto-acknowledgement with a promise to get back to me "shortly". Ten days and two reminders later, I'm still waiting.

Reply from McAlpine Plumbing Products

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback — and I’m sorry to hear about your experience.

This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide. We take enquiries seriously and would expect a response to have been issued well within that timeframe, so I’d like to understand what’s happened here.

We haven’t been able to trace your enquiry internally, which suggests it may not have reached the correct team. If you’re able to, please contact us directly at orders@mcalpineplumbing.com or call us on 0141 882 3213 and we will prioritise getting you the information you need.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention — we’ll also review our enquiry handling process to prevent this happening again.

Kind regards,
Ross

McAlpine scale defender…

I had a McAlpine scale defender installed last year. It has proved excellent in reducing the impact scale throughout my house and has allowed us to install a proper shower mixer for the first time. I had a minor problem with the washer when changing the cartridge. I contacted McAlpine and had a phone call within 24 hours and they sent the parts I needed within two days.. Really pleased with product and service service.

Such a genuinely pleasant surprise to have a company that does things so well. Sent me out a small part free of charge and thought nothing of it. If we could return to a time of good quality and genuine service, it would look and feel like this. Thank you.

What a fantastic product we've had installed to solve a long running water quality issue. So much so the plumber who installed it is fitting in his own house and will now willingly promote it to his customer database as our area suffers with this hard water concern

We’ve been consistently impressed with…

We’ve been consistently impressed with the quality and reliability of McAlpine Plumbing Products. From traps and wastes to specialist solutions, every product is clearly well-engineered, robust, and designed with real-world installation in mind.

As a busy multi-trade contractor, reliability on site is everything—and McAlpine delivers every time. Their fittings are straightforward to install, reduce call-backs, and stand up to heavy domestic and commercial use, which is exactly what we need when working in schools, healthcare settings, and retail environments.

The innovation behind their range is excellent, and it’s obvious they listen to the trade when developing new products. Combined with strong availability through merchants and consistent performance, they’re a go-to brand for our engineers.

Highly recommended.
a trusted manufacturer producing professional-grade kit that does exactly what it says on the tin.
