Why Romanys
The right part, without the trip to a ring road
The short version
Location, range and someone to ask
Those three things decide whether a job finishes today or tomorrow.
We are where the work is
51 Brewer Street in Soho and 13 Shepherd Street in Mayfair. If you are working in or near the West End, we are a walk away, not a drive and a car park.
Depth, not just breadth
Six departments, and within them the sizes and finishes that get asked for. A catalogue that lists everything and stocks nothing is no use at four in the afternoon.
People who know the stock
Ask across the counter and you get an answer from someone who has sold the part before, not a search result. If we think you have the wrong thing, we will say so.
And what the website adds
Buying online from a hardware shop usually means guessing from a thumbnail. We have built this one to answer the questions you would otherwise have to phone about.
Full specifications on every product
Sizes, backsets, finishes, materials, pack quantities and part numbers — the details that decide whether it fits.
Prices inclusive or exclusive of VAT
Switch it in the top bar. Trade customers work in net, householders in gross, and neither should have to do the arithmetic.
Search that understands part numbers
Type a SKU, a manufacturer code, a finish or a description. It copes with a typo and a half-remembered name.
Filters that show real counts
Narrow by brand, finish, material or price and see how many products are actually behind each option before you click.
Honest stock
What the site says is available is what is held for online orders. Where we cannot promise, we say so rather than taking the order.
Collect from either branch
Order online, pick it up in Soho or Mayfair, and skip the delivery wait entirely.
Straight dealing
Things you will not find here
A hardware shop lives on being trusted about details. These are the shortcuts we have decided not to take.
- No invented reviews
- We do not display ratings or testimonials we have not received. When there are real reviews, you will see real reviews.
- No countdown pressure
- No fake timers, no "three people are viewing this", no stock numbers designed to rush you.
- No mystery pricing
- Prices are shown both ways for VAT, and the total at checkout is the total. Any account discount is applied and itemised.
- No promises about stock we do not hold
- If something is not available to order online, the site says so and suggests calling — rather than taking your money and apologising later.
