I can't remember what my Hilmors were like when they were new tbh, but they're a vast improvement on my the way they've ended up. They're identical tbh, but made in the uk.
 
I've ordered the bend it now ones as there seems to be a few good reviews on here. Where can you buy copper pipe made in the UK nowadays?

I don't think you can be sure of any of it. Wednesbury sold out to Mueller. Yorkshire belongs to KME. I think Lawtons still manufacture in the UK, but I am not sure if they do all sizes in the UK.
 
Ray with your buying clout you should set up a UK copper pipe manufacturer and sell it all to Williams & Co cheaply! Let's bring back UK manufacturing I say.

I think quite a lot of it is made in the UK. Its just with these pan-European groups, you can never be sure.

Lawtons is really good pipe. About the only ones who sell it up this way are william wilsons.

We do quite a lot of pipe with them, but not exclusively.

They stitched us up about 15 years ago, and for about 12 years we wouldn't trade with them - eventually my senior buyer let them off, but only when he was satisfied that everyone involved in stitching him up had left the business.

I like a man who can hold a grudge.
