EC Hopkins was founded in 1920 by Ernest Clarence Hopkins and has always been involved in supplying tools. We represent a large number of high-quality brands, some of which we are exclusive UK distributors for. EC Hopkins specializes in supplying tools for underwater use, tools for construction and machines, and consumables for metal finishing, grinding, and cutting.
Construction
EC Hopkins offers a broad range of equipment and accessories for construction companies and individuals. We have mainstream products used for everyday tasks and specialist equipment which may be called for in more challenging applications. We are constantly evolving our product range as innovative manufacturers develop new equipment to make your job easier and safer. Brands that we are proud to represent include ICS Diamond Chainsaws, Stanley Infrastructure, Spitznas Tools, Husqvarna Construction Products, Hycon Hydraulic Tools Atlas Copco, etc.
Whilst we sell specialist and standard construction tools and equipment, we aim to stand out as a company by recommending the best equipment for our customer’s needs, not just to sell online. So, if you have a problem that you maybe need some help solving, give us a call or drop us an inquiry, we may have a solution that you are not currently aware exists.
Specialist Cutting
EC Hopkins has been selling ICS diamond chainsaws for over 15 years and has been an exclusive distributor since 2014. We have staff that eat breathe and sleep these machines. If you need to cut concrete, brick, block, or stone thicker than 125mm, a diamond chainsaw may well be the answer. ICS are the inventors of Diamond Chain Technology and these chainsaws can cut up to 63cm deep from one side, and create square corners with no overcut.
If you have to cut pipe made out of concrete, ductile iron, cast iron, plastic, or even asbestos we have a product to suit your needs. Again, ICS diamond chainsaws are the innovators of PowerGrit which offers a safe alternative for utilities companies and water authorities to traditional pipe-cutting methods. PowerGrit is now widely used throughout the UK and other countries for cutting pipes. If you are not currently using PowerGrit we can visit you and demonstrate the benefits, the same goes for the masonry cutting saws.
We are here to advise and help so whatever your jobs are or your needs may be please contact us for honest advice on the best options for you.
