Broughtons of Leicester Ltd is an independent family run retailer specialising in lighting, ironmongery and accessories for period style homes. The name Broughton has been synonymous with Ironmongery in Leicester (U.K.) since 1888, when our forefathers founded Broughton & Jones in Market Place, Leicester. In 1979, I recognised the need for a quality specialist ironmongery showroom, committed to providing traditional, high quality goods, with a personal, old-fashioned service. Since then, Broughtons of Leicester Ltd has grown from strength to strength and now offers the widest range of period accessories for doors, windows and cabinets, and an amazing display of interior and exterior lighting at our impressive showrooms in Anstey, Leicestershire.
Our collection of Traditional Outdoor Light Fittings contains carefully chosen wall lights and hanging lanterns that will suit many types of property. They are always popular, having timeless style and practicality and they are characterized by their black or dark colours with some lovely leaded examples too. Many of the lights featured here have matching pedestal lights, pillar lights and even lamp posts so your theme can be carried through your patio and grounds. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch or consider paying us a visit as many of these lights are on display in our Leicestershire showrooms.
We estimate that these are THE finest quality and most authentic wooden door knobs that you will find. Produced by a family run workshop who have been making ironmongery and door furniture since 1886. We recommend a minimum of 4 (100mm) latch with these and all knobs. All but the ball shaped door knobs are suitable for Rim Locks (surface mounted) and Mortice Locks (cut into edge of doors).
Few things in life bring such simple pleasure as the warmth and character that a real wood burning stove brings to a home. Both classic in design and extremely practical, a Carron stove is an efficient and clean way to enjoy the charm of a solid fuel fire. The Green Enamel 7.3kw Stove is on display at our showrooms in Anstey, Leicestershire, along with colour samples for the other colours.
Wall lights can play a hugely important part in any sucessful lighting scheme for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Used in conjunction with other light sources, they will reduce shadows, can brighten up dark corners, bring focus to special features and altogether make a home feel more inviting and warm. We have an excellent choice of flush, single and multi arm fittings in many finishes such as antique and polished brass, bronze, chrome, tiffany and more.
The Broughton family have been selling door furniture and ironmongery since 1888. This gives us a wealth of experience and knowledge that is hard to beat. From handles and knobs to knockers, bolts, latches and hinges we have door furniture to suit all your internal and external doors.
The lighting in your house has a dramatic and immediate impact on the style you wish to create, and also needs to meet your practical requirements. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always happy to give advice, and if you prefer to see and touch before you buy, we have over 800 lights on display in our showrooms.
Our cast iron radiators come in a variety of authentic period designs from the Victorian and Edwardian era and can be finished either with a huge choice of paint options including Farrow & Ball colours, or hand polished which reveals all the detail of the cast. Most radiators come in a variety of heights, and are sold by section - meaning you can customise your radiator to your required width by choosing the number of sections you require. Most of out radiators are on display in our showroom in Leicestershire, as well as the many finish options, and we recommend you visit or contact us to discuss your requirements prior to placing your order.
Possibly one of the largest selections of Outdoor and Porch Lighting is on display at our showrooms in Anstey, Leicestershire. Whether you are looking for a traditional, period or contemporary style, we have a vast range to choose from to suit your taste.
We offer a huge choice of Casement Window Stays and Fasteners, Sash Window Catches and Fasteners and Sash Stops etc. Popular designs include pear drop, monkey tail and art deco, all in a large choice of finishes including brass, chrome, nickel, hand forged and pewter. Please make any enquiry you may have or call in to our spectacular showrooms and view for yourself.
We offer a huge range of ceiling lights in many different styles and sizes to suit different types of application (low ceilings, vaulted roofs etc) and styles of property - whether georgian, victorian, modern or something in between. We have ceiling lights to suit all rooms in your house so please take the time to browse through them. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
Extremely poor customer services I ordered a high quality rim lock which cost £459 and I had to wait up to six weeks which was fine as that was stated when I ordered however when it did arrive they had sent the wrong handed lock the admitted it was an issue with there coding I wasn’t happy but I thought these things happen anyway another six weeks later the correct lock turned up and I fitted it bearing in mind I am a time served joiner of over thirty years I am also an extremely good locksmith the first problem I encountered was with the spindle socket in the lock it was too small to except the spindle of the rim handle this was an easy fix I just had to file it down a little and it fitted the next problem was the key would not operate the dead bolt again an easy fix just strip lock and a gentle rub down with emery paper and it also worked fine, I then thought I would inform Broughton of Leicester as I felt this was unacceptable for any product let alone one that cost nearly £500, their response was I quote (Had we been made aware of this prior to any adjustments being made to the item we could have certainly arranged a replacement for this, but unfortunately as the item has been modified and adjusted, we would be unable to replace this at this stage I’m afraid.) I am sure had I made them aware I would have had to wait another 6 weeks, I certainly will not buy of Broughtons of Leicester they do not care about customers.
I ordered on Tuesday afternoon and received my order the following day before 12pm which was superb. From start to finish Broughtons have been a pleasure to deal with and my thanks to Kieran for the email letting me know my order was on its way.
Over the last 10 plus years we have purchased door furniture, interior and exterior lighting, a bell, hinges and much more.
There has hardly been an issue and when there has been it has been fixed.
The staff are available on the phone or by email and provide an excellent service.
The door portiere I bought is very good but what makes the difference here is the exceptional customer service. When a couple of small hook screws didn’t fit properly, they didn’t just brush me off or send the same poor screws again, they admitted there was a problem with some of them and were replacing them but didn’t have any in my colour - i didn’t care about the colour so they sent the replacements immediately and they arrived the next day. I called them a couple of times with other questions and the staff were always SO helpful and always came up with a solution that worked. Sometimes it can be hit and miss buying from the internet but this is a company I will return to and would definitely recommend, just because they really are so responsive and helpful. (Good stock range too!)
Just received some lovely brolite handles and i can only say they're stunning
a perfect match to this 1900s property and the staff were helpful in advising the correct spindle configuration for the task I'm definitely a returning customer
Amazing selection of great products. Great place to visit to find a variety period things needed to renovate a listed property.
Amazing customer service, a company that really cares! And the products are fab as well.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, Broughtons gave to me.
