Herbert Fairey And Son Ltd is a family-run business now being run by the third generation. Herbert Fairey established the business in 1929 and with his son Trevor built the business into one of Sheffield's most respected and popular plumbers merchants. Since the early 1970s they ran the business from their premises situated on Barber Road which was one of the first in Sheffield to have a Trade Counter open to the public (and on Saturdays too). Selling bathrooms and kitchens as well as plumbing materials and central heating, business boomed and in 1987 Herbert Fairey And Son opened a second Trade Counter/Warehouse on Broad Lane.

The third generation entered the business in 1979 when Richard joined from school. Five years later Richard's brother Nicholas  joined the business and in 1985 David was taken on to work in the accounts office. Sadly, in 1998 Trevor passed away but the business was left in his sons' hands who had by this time gathered a huge amount of experience and knowledge. One of their first decisions was to incorporate the business and the second one was to close down the Broad Lane premises.

In 2007, the three brothers - now directors of the company - decided that their premises at Barber Road had become too cramped and unsuitable and made the big decision to relocate to spacious new premises two miles down the road. The new premises are impressive, featuring over 20 bathroom displays and all on one (wheelchair accessible) level. There is also plenty of free parking right outside the front door - something that was becoming a bigger problem daily at Barber Road. It is also easier to find, whether travelling from the city centre or from out of the city.

The brothers remain committed to providing a first class, friendly service, offering that personal touch only a family run business can provide. From planning a bathroom suite - the company uses a team of first class installers and plumbers who can do all the tiling, lighting, plumbing and installing of a new bathroom suite - to helping you choose a suite that suits both the customer's desires and budget, with delivery available if required, Herbert Fairey And Son Limited have re-established themselves as Sheffield's finest, family-run bathroom retailers.
