A Central London hardware business
Two shops, a few streets apart
Romanys Ltd trades from 51 Brewer Street in Soho and 13 Shepherd Street in Mayfair. Both are working hardware shops: counters, drawers of fixings, ironmongery on the wall and tools behind the till.
The customers reflect where we are. Tradespeople working on flats and shopfronts. Contractors fitting out restaurants and offices. Building managers and maintenance teams who need something today rather than next week. And people who live locally, putting up a shelf or changing a lock.
What ties those jobs together is that the right part matters more than the cheapest one. A hinge that is 6mm out, a screw that is too short, a blade meant for a different material — each costs more in wasted time than the part ever did.
What we sell
Ironmongery, DIY and power tools
Six departments that cover most of what comes across the counter.
- Ironmongery
- Door handles, locks and latches, hinges, closers, window and cabinet hardware, letterplates and numerals. The architectural hardware a building needs to work.
- Power tools
- Drills and drivers, saws, sanders, grinders, multi-tools, batteries and accessories, corded and cordless.
- Hand tools
- Hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, spanners, chisels, measuring and marking, and somewhere to keep them.
- Fixings
- Screws, nails, bolts, wall plugs and anchors — by the box or the handful, in the sizes people actually ask for.
- DIY and decorating
- Adhesives and sealants, fillers, abrasives, tapes, lubricants, and safety gear for the job.
- Hardware and household
- Electrical accessories, lighting, plumbing sundries, chain and rope, shelving, castors and hooks.
What the mark stands for
Built for a stronger tomorrow
The helmet on our sign is not decoration. It is shorthand for three things we try to get right.
Heritage
A proper ironmongery counter. Stock kept in depth rather than in a catalogue, and staff who can tell a sashlock from a deadlock without looking it up.
Strength
Products chosen to survive real use. Everyday lines where everyday is enough, heavier-duty ones where it is not, and honest information about which is which.
Progress
The range online with full specifications, collection from either shop, accounts for regular buyers, and a search that finds a part by its code.
Who buys from us
Trade counter and shop floor
We are set up to serve both, and we do not treat them as the same thing. A contractor buying fixings by the box wants speed, stock and a running account. Someone fixing a door at home wants to leave with the right part and know how to fit it.
Tradespeople and contractors
Accounts, agreed pricing and order history.
Businesses and building managers
Maintenance supplies, invoiced to the company.
Householders
Advice across the counter and no obligation to buy a trade quantity.
Online customers
The same range, with collection from either branch.
Where we are
Soho and Mayfair
Both branches are a short walk from each other, in the middle of the area we serve.
