A J Paveley is a plumbing and pipe line merchant that supplies the industrial, domestic and commercial markets. We also supply many specialist and bespoke products to the rail industry in the UK and across the globe.
We offer a range of services to suit our diverse range of customers. We offer an over the counter service at our shop in the centre of Birmingham and a daily delivery run covering all of the West Midlands and quite often much further afield. We regularly deliver as far as the North West, London and the South West on our own transport. When possible we endeavour to provide a same day service, this is of course dependent upon product availability. Where you have any special transport requirements please do not hesitate to contact us.
Due to our combined years of industry training and experience we are able to aid customers in choosing products and systems to best meet their requirements. Where there just aren’t the products you need to do the job we are capable of designing and having fabricated items exactly to your needs. We do this extensively for the rail industry, see our rail section for examples and our past projects.

We were asked late during the design stages to provide a solution to deliver potable water to the kitchen taps, ovens, ice machines and coffee machines. This is a critical system as without potable water the kitchen and shop are unable to provide food or drinks.
There were a number of challenges to overcome including the positioning of the water tanks, the available space envelope and the quality of the water after it has been in the tank. Working with Alstom Transport we sourced, designed and fabricated a system that is capable of lifting water from the tanks then processing it to a standard suitable for drinking. It is a multi-stage system that uses a powerful Ultra Violet steriliser, dual filter sets and a scale reducing ioniser. We designed fail safe monitoring on the steriliser to prevent unsafe water being delivered to outlets. The system has been designed with easy maintenance in mind making it as easy as possible to change filters and UV lamps.
Once a few sample systems were installed we set up a testing program to test the quality of the water that was being delivered from the taps. This was found to be well within the tolerances required for potable water and was comparable in quality to UK tap water; several thousand times better than even the average bottle of water.
Our system has proven to be durable and effective at providing potable water whilst being simple to maintain and operate. It has also overcome the difficulty of operating on an electrified line where there are frequent breaks in the power supplied.
Class 390 Pendolino Fresh and waste tanks
We were approached by Alstom to replace their existing fresh water and effluent tanks for the WCs on the Pendolino trains. There were quality and reliability issues with the existing tanks so we were asked to supply a tank that would be more durable whilst still fitting in the existing space envelope.
We modified the shape of the existing tanks to relieve stress on any corners. We also changed the material to a much higher grade plastic and increased the wall thickness of the tank to give extra strength. We kept the existing design that allowed the tanks to interlock and nest together.
Each tank has a level gauge and plugs inserted then is pressure tested and inspected before it is insulated ensuring that the moulding is unblemished and water tight.
We use a Class O glass fibre insulation with a quilted foil cover, this prevents condensation forming and gives the tanks the required fire rating.
Class 158, 159 and 160 Stainless steel pans
We have supplied numerous different configurations of bespoke stainless steel WC pans to operators across the United Kingdom for retrofit refurbishments of on train WCs. Due to the outlet hole in the floor of the car being different across fleets, we adjusted the distance from the wall to the floor outlet to fit every time. Our pans have been made to operate on 1 gallon (4.5 Litre) flush making them water use efficient lowering re-fill/ effluent emptying intervals.
To make the most of the available space in the cubicle the pans have been fabricated to have a short projection. Due to the short projection we have sourced a WC seat that is durable and fits within the footprint of the pan. These seats are soft close to reduce breakages, are vandal resistant and can be supplied in any colour to match company branding.
Pipe, valves and fittings
We stock and supply many pipes, valves and fittings that are used on trains. We hold GHD fittings for silver soldering onto copper tube. We are also capable of fabricating pipe sections using GHD fittings to save fabrication time on site. An advantage of pre-fabrication is that all sections are cleaned then pressure tested to ensure integrity before they are fitted to the vehicle. All sections are fabricated using thick walled copper tube as per railway standard. Where required we can bend thick walled copper to reduce the amount of fittings used, reduce pressure loss in the pipe and allow more space efficient designs.
We also supply silicone hose in straight lengths or formed shapes depending upon the client’s requirements. This can also be smooth bore to make it suitable for potable water.
Our pipe and fittings are in use on rail stock across the world including the UK, Europe, Canada and Hong Kong.
Behind mirror hand drier, tap and soap dispenser
We are currently developing an integrated hand drier, tap and soap dispenser that can be hidden behind a mirror above a wash hand basin. This unit can be adapted to fit in a variety of different space envelopes and configurations. The sensor tap is able to work on high pressure systems and low pressure systems meaning that it is not necessary for there to be a pump on the system. The soap dispenser can operate using a sensor or with a manual push bar.
The hand drier can use as little as 700 watts whilst still providing high speed drying.
Area lighting and cases
We are retailers of Peli products including their area lighting systems (RALS), Storm water proof cases and torches. Peli area lighting systems are powerful battery lamps that are suitable for use on any site. They are extremely portable and long lasting giving a safe and silent lighting solution that does not require flammable fuels or noisy generators. There are a number of different models available dependent upon the level of lighting required.
Peli are also manufacturers of high quality torches including ATEX Classified, tactical and head torches.
Peli cases are world renowned for their quality, they are used in many industries where equipment needs to be safely stored and transported. Customised foam inserts can also be supplied to fit your equipment providing additional security for expensive instruments.
Handrail
We are a major distributor of modular steel handrail and fittings. Our fittings have been used across the country on embankments and bridges. We can supply the pipe in 6.5 metre lengths or it can be cut and delivered in lengths ready to install. All pipe and fittings are galvanised to protect them from corrosion. All handrail fittings are manufactured to a standard in excess of BS6681 & BS2789 (ISO 5922 and ISO 1083).
Paint
Working in conjunction with a range of suppliers we supply durable floor marking paint that is suitable for use both indoors and outside. We offer anti-slip options in a range of colours and can even have colours customised to your needs.
Also available are anti-slip plates and step edges in a number of different finishes and colours. These are easy to retro-fit in areas where more grip is required and are suitable for areas of high footfall.
Managed stores
For larger customers we are happy to provide an on-site managed stores. This allows customers to have the flexibility and advantages of well-stocked stores without the initial capital outlay. By tailoring our on-site stores to your requirements we can speed up response time on critical maintenance issues.
