Products for your trade, installation or home project
Whether you're sourcing parts for a single repair or planning several rooms, our ranges make it easier to find the right type of product before you order. If you are unsure about specifications or compatibility, our team can help you narrow down suitable options.
Electricians & electrical contractors
Browse electrical accessories, switches and dimmers, sockets and outlets, plus clips, glands and cable management. Useful when gathering finishing accessories, cable-routing products and lighting components for domestic or commercial work. Check the individual product specifications for suitability before installation.
Kitchen fitters, cabinetmakers & joiners
Choose under cabinet lights and ready-made kits, or use our 24V Lighting Project Builder to select the fitting style, finish, quantity and lighting zones with matched compatible system components. We also carry door and furniture hardware for finishing a room or fitted interior. Planning several cabinets? Ask our team about positioning, cable reach and the parts required for your specific layout.
Lighting designers, interiors teams & installers
Explore lighting by room and fitting type and our dedicated 24V cabinet lighting range. The Project Builder is especially useful for organising multi-zone lighting projects and selecting supported drivers and controls without mixing unrelated components. For a particular colour temperature, finish or control method, check the specific fitting and system details.
Aerial, satellite & AV installers
Find TV aerial and satellite accessories, coaxial cable, mounting equipment and relevant connectors. For audio projects, we also supply speaker cable and speaker systems, with help choosing suitable components for the planned installation.
Network, data & CCTV installers
Browse CAT5e and CAT6 network cable and cable-routing accessories. Different jobs call for different conductor materials, shielding and installation ratings; always check the individual cable specification before selecting it for a network, PoE device or outdoor run.
Builders, maintenance contractors & property teams
For property maintenance and refurbishment, find a practical mix of electrical accessories, lighting, door hardware and cable protection and management. If you're working from a parts schedule, contact us with the product details or SKUs and we'll help identify suitable catalogue items.
Homeowners & DIY customers
You don't have to be in the trade to buy from us. Whether you're upgrading kitchen lighting, replacing a matching socket faceplate, choosing speaker cable or refreshing door handles, you can browse online and ask for product-selection help if you need it. Electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably competent person where required.
Commercial audio & bespoke speaker systems for Preston businesses
Opening a new venue, refurbishing your premises or replacing an unreliable sound system? We regularly help customers source audio equipment for pubs, bars, cafés, restaurants, clubs, hotels, function rooms, retail premises and workplaces. From discreet background music to multi-speaker and multi-zone systems, our team can discuss your requirements and put together a suitable equipment package.
We offer ready-made speaker system bundles as well as a bespoke speaker-system selection service. That means you can start with an existing kit or contact us about the speakers, amplifier, cable and controls needed for your particular premises.
Pubs, bars & clubs
Music levels and coverage can vary between a quiet bar area, a busy public space and a function room. We can help you explore wall and ceiling speaker systems, amplifiers and supported zoning options, based on the size, layout and intended listening levels of your venue. Tell us if separate rooms or outdoor areas need independent control.
Cafés, restaurants & hospitality venues
For cafés, dining rooms, hotels and reception areas, a well-chosen system should provide comfortable, even background music without overpowering conversation. Browse ceiling speaker systems or ask about a tailored mix of discreet ceiling and wall speakers, together with suitable amplification and cable.
Larger venues, multi-room audio & announcements
For sites needing multiple speakers spread over longer cable runs, 100V line speakers and 100V mixer amplifiers may be appropriate. Depending on the equipment selected, we can discuss separate audio zones and whether paging or announcement features are required. We will check the system design and product specifications rather than assuming every amplifier or speaker is compatible.
Tell us about your project — we'll help narrow it down
You don't need to know which amplifier or speaker type to buy before contacting us. It helps if you can tell us the type of venue, approximate room sizes, number of rooms or zones, ceiling height, preferred speaker style, music source, desired volume and whether you need announcements or outdoor coverage. A rough floor plan is useful too. Our team can advise on a suitable equipment list and any details that still need checking.
Planning a sound system for your pub, café, restaurant or club? Visit our bespoke speaker systems page, call 0161 408 1083, or send us your requirements. We can help with product selection and technical guidance; any on-site installation arrangements are separate and should not be assumed.
Preston electrical wholesaler searches: what we offer

Frequently asked questions
Can I collect electrical supplies or cable in Preston today?
Possibly, depending on the item and its availability. Do not travel without calling first. Our team will check the specific products, confirm whether collection is possible and arrange a suitable time. Same-day collection is not guaranteed.
Are you an electrical shop or wholesaler with a walk-in counter?
No. LoopsDirect is an online retailer and supplier with working premises in Preston. We supply a range of products useful to electricians and other trade customers, but our warehouse collection service is by prior arrangement, not an open trade counter.
Can kitchen fitters collect under cabinet LED lighting in Preston?
Eligible products can be arranged for collection if availability is confirmed in advance. Browse under cabinet lighting or plan a supported 24V lighting system, then call with your requirements before travelling.
Can you help me choose speaker cable, network cable or connectors?
Yes. Tell us the intended equipment, run length, installation environment and any relevant requirements; we'll help you identify suitable options from our catalogue. Product compatibility and installation ratings should be verified before buying or fitting.
Do you sell to homeowners as well as electricians and contractors?
Yes. Both trade customers and members of the public can shop our online ranges. You do not need a trade account to browse the website.
Can you help plan a speaker system for a pub, café, club or restaurant?
Yes. We can help you select suitable speakers, amplifiers, cable and supported zone controls for your venue. Whether you need gentle background music for a restaurant or sound across several areas of a pub, start with our bespoke audio service and tell us about the room sizes and how you want the system to work. We provide equipment-selection and technical advice, not an automatic promise of on-site installation.
