Product categories for trade and business buyers
This page maps the Brookhaven Supplies Limited range by category so you can work out quickly which part of the catalogue fits your requirement. We are a non-specialised wholesaler, so the range is deliberately broad: fixings and fasteners, PPE and workwear, janitorial supplies, packaging and general workplace consumables. If you are unsure where an item sits, send the description and we will route it.

Fixings and fasteners
This is the category most trade customers reach for first. Screws, bolts, anchors, washers, threaded rod and general site fixings in the sizes that get used daily.
The practical question is usually not what the product is but what it has to hold and where. Tell us the substrate, the load and whether the fixing is exposed to weather or chemicals, and we can confirm whether a standard line is suitable or whether you need something more specific. For structural or safety-critical applications, we will point you to a specialist rather than guess.

PPE and workwear bay
PPE and workwear
Gloves, eye protection, hearing protection, respiratory basics, hi-vis clothing and safety footwear. PPE is the category where specification matters most, because the wrong glove for a chemical is worse than no glove at all.
When you enquire, tell us the hazard and the environment, not just the product name. Our standards and compliance page explains the documentation buyers should expect, including declarations of conformity and product data sheets where they apply.
Read standards and compliance guidance- The hazard you are protecting against
- The environment and duration of exposure
- Sizes and how many wearers
- Whether the item is for regular or one-off use
Janitorial and cleaning supplies
Cloths, wipes, cleaning chemicals, dispensers, refuse sacks and waste handling. This is steady, repeat purchasing for most businesses, which makes consistency more important than novelty.
If you are setting up a cleaning regime for a new site or office, tell us the surfaces, the number of washrooms and the waste volume and we will suggest a starter list. Buying janitorial supplies in sensible pack sizes usually beats ordering single units repeatedly.
Repeat lines, ordered on a schedule
Packaging and workplace consumables
Tape, stretch and shrink wrap, labels, bags, and the general consumables that keep despatch and storage running. Buyers often underestimate how much of their spend sits in this category until they total it, which is exactly why consolidating it with your fixings and PPE order saves time.
Send a category enquiryMRO essentials explained
MRO stands for maintenance, repair and operations: the items you buy to keep a site running rather than to build a product. RS Group built a very large business serving exactly this demand across UK engineering and maintenance customers, which tells you how much of a company's purchasing sits here. For a smaller operation, the MRO list is shorter but just as real. The trick is keeping a standing list so you reorder on schedule instead of in a panic.

Which category fits your requirement
Start from the hazard or the job, not the product name
Cleaning a workshop floor points to janitorial. Fixing a bracket to a wall points to fixings. Protecting a worker's hands points to PPE. If your requirement spans two categories, that is normal and it is the reason a broadline wholesaler exists. Send one enquiry listing everything and we will confirm stock and lead times together.
- Broadline supplier Mixed, repeat, everyday purchasing · one account, one delivery, less admin
- Category specialist Technical requirements · deep knowledge of one product family
- Both, for most buyers No contradiction · we will say when a specialist is the better route
There is a real choice here and it is worth being clear about it. Many businesses use both. If your enquiry is genuinely specialist, we will tell you rather than stretch to cover it.
Range limits we are upfront about
We do not carry calibrated instruments, structural engineering products requiring certification for a specific design, or specialist branded chemicals outside our regular lines. If you need something we do not stock, we will say so early rather than hold your order open. That honesty saves more time than a vague "we'll look into it".
- Calibrated instruments Not stocked · source via a specialist
- Certified structural products Not stocked · design-specific certification
- Specialist branded chemicals Outside our regular lines
What to include in a category enquiry
Product or close description, quantity, size or specification if it matters, and your required date. A photo of the old part, the label or the shelf helps. If you have a supplier reference or a part number from a previous purchase, include it. The more precisely you describe the item, the less back-and-forth before we can confirm what is available.

Questions buyers ask us
Short answers to the points that come up most often when someone is working out which category their requirement belongs to.
Can I order across several categories in one enquiry?
Open
Yes. That is the point of a broadline wholesaler. List everything you need and we will confirm stock and lead times together.
How do I know which glove or PPE item is right for the hazard?
Open
Tell us the hazard and the environment rather than the product name. We will confirm whether a standard line suits the application or whether you need to source elsewhere.
Do you stock specialist or calibrated equipment?
Open
No. We cover everyday industrial and commercial supplies. For calibrated instruments or certified structural products, a category specialist is the better route.
