# John Nicholls Plumbing & Heating Merchants

John Nicholls is a trade and public-facing plumbing and heating merchant based in Kidlington, specialising in comprehensive supplies for both residential and commercial projects. They stock an extensive range of boilers, copper fittings, plumbing materials, heating systems, bathroom suites, kitchen accessories and renewable energy solutions including underfloor heating.

The business serves professional tradespeople and homeowners alike, offering flexible purchasing options through online shopping, in-branch visits or telephone ordering. A key differentiator is their commitment to customer service combined with practical logistics—they operate a dedicated delivery fleet providing free next-day local delivery. This accessibility makes them equally valuable whether you're undertaking a major renovation project or simply refreshing a single room.

For trade professionals, John Nicholls offers dedicated credit account facilities with negotiated discounts through personal account sales representatives, recognising the needs of established contractors and plumbers. Their recent integration into the PHG Group (January 2026) signals expansion and strengthened supplier relationships.

The merchant demonstrates genuine community engagement through initiatives like tool-marking events with Thames Valley Police, addressing tradesperson concerns about van and tool theft. They stock products from leading suppliers and actively highlight manufacturer guarantees—notably a recent extension of Speedfit core plumbing products from 25 to 50-year warranties, emphasising quality assurance through rigorous production testing.
