Kent Traders — UK Hotel Supplies, Electrical Essentials, Bathroom Fittings & Fire Safety

Hotel luggage racks come with or without a raised back, in metal or wood, and the choice shows up on your walls. This guide compares the Corby Ashton metal rack, with and without a back, against the York wooden rack on listed size, weight, strap load and price. It works through a ten-room cost example, covers what BPCA says about bed bugs and furniture, and lists the ordering mistakes that cost time. Prices and stock were checked on 9 November 2026.

Basin mixer or pillar taps? The basin decides it first, because pillar taps need two tap holes and a mono mixer needs one. This guide compares the Ideal Standard Calista pair and mixer on holes, waste and flow, explains the check valve rule for single-flow mixers, and works through a ten-room cost example. It also covers pressure, slotted wastes and the mistakes that cause call-backs, with prices and stock checked on 6 November 2026.

A bath shower mixer tap looks like a simple swap, but whether it works depends on pressure and flow, not the boiler badge. This guide explains the 0.2 bar minimum listed for the Aqualisa Central, Uptown and Downtown taps, how much head a loft tank really gives you, and why a combi is limited by heat output rather than the tap. It also covers the hose rule that keeps a handset clear of bath water, with prices and stock checked on 4 November 2026.
