indLet’s be honest, the first few days back after the Christmas break are always a bit of a shock to the system. You’ve swapped the mince pies for meal prep, the festive jumpers for high-vis vests, and the alarm clock is suddenly your least favourite object in the world. But while the holidays might be over, the industrial world doesn't sleep for long—and neither do we.
We hope you all had a fantastic festive season, filled with enough food to sink a battleship and perhaps a cheeky drink or two. But now that the calendar has officially flipped to 2026, it’s time to shake off the tinsel and get back to business.
Here at Indigo Supplies, we have returned from our Christmas break refreshed, recharged, and frankly, raring to go. The warehouse is buzzing, the coffee machine is working overtime, and most importantly, our shelves are groaning under the weight of fresh stock. Whether you are managing a construction site that’s battling the January sludge or running a warehouse that needs a serious restock, we are fully operational and ready to serve.
If you were worried that the start of 2026 would mean supply chain headaches or empty shelves, you can breathe a sigh of relief. We’ve spent time ensuring our inventory is robust across the board. From temporary floor protection to the humble roll of packaging tape, we’ve got you covered.
Why 2026 is the year to protect your floors
If there is one thing we know about January in the UK, it is that the weather is rarely on our side. It’s wet, it’s muddy, and if we’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on your commute), it’s snowy. For anyone in the construction, refurbishment, or decorating trades, this weather is a nightmare for keeping client floors pristine.
That is why temporary floor protection is one of our main areas of expertise, and we have made sure we are fully stocked for the winter rush.
The Correx® Solution
You have likely seen those familiar fluted plastic sheets on sites before. Correx® corrugated plastic is the industry standard for a reason. It is impact-resistant, waterproof, and incredibly lightweight. Unlike cardboard, which turns into a soggy mush the moment a wet boot steps on it, Correx® holds its own against the elements.
We supply a vast range of Correx® sheets, including flame-retardant options for sites with strict safety regulations. If you are starting a renovation project this month, do yourself a favour and lay down some proper protection. It is far cheaper than replacing a ruined hardwood floor, and it makes you look far more professional to your clients.
Sticky Shield and Carpet Films
Of course, rigid sheets aren’t always the answer. For carpets that need to survive a stampede of muddy workmen, our adhesive carpet protection films are a lifesaver. They stick down securely (without leaving a sticky residue when removed) and prevent dirt and spills from ruining the pile. We have stocked up heavily on these because we know just how essential they are when the British winter is doing its worst outside.
Sticking together: Tapes and Fasteners
It is a running joke in the industry that you can fix almost anything with the right tape and a bit of optimism. While we can’t supply the optimism, we can certainly supply the tape.
Adhesive tapes are the unsung heroes of the industrial world. Whether you are sealing boxes for dispatch, bundling pipes together, or marking out hazard zones on a warehouse floor, you need tape that actually sticks. We supply a massive range of single and double-sided tapes, including:
- Duct Tape: The classic "fix-it-all" solution.
- Gaffer Tape: Heavy-duty and residue-free.
- Packaging Tape: Essential for any logistics operation.
- Cross-weave Tape: For when you need serious tensile strength.
Hook and Loop Fasteners
Beyond standard tapes, we also stock a comprehensive range of hook and loop fasteners. These are brilliant for temporary fixings, cable management, and display mounting. If you need to attach something securely but might need to move it later, this is your go-to solution. We have rolls, coins, and strips ready for immediate dispatch.
Wrapping up (Literally): Polythene and Packaging
2026 is already shaping up to be a busy year for logistics. If your business involves moving goods from A to B, you know that damage in transit is a profit killer.
We are fully stocked with a huge array of packaging supplies to ensure your goods arrive in the same condition they left your warehouse. This includes everything from bubble wrap and loose fill to cardboard cartons and pallet wrap.
The Power of Polythene
Let's talk about polythene sheeting for a moment. It might not be the most exciting topic at a dinner party, but on a worksite or in a warehouse, it is vital. Our heavy-duty polythene sheeting is perfect for creating temporary dust screens, waterproofing materials stored outside, or wrapping large pallets.
We offer various gauges (thicknesses) to suit different applications. If you aren't sure which gauge you need, just give our team a call. We have been doing this since 1998, so we can usually tell you exactly what you need within a few seconds of describing your job.
Safety and Sanitation: Keeping the workplace compliant
New year, new regulations? Even if the rules haven't changed, the start of the year is the perfect time to audit your site safety and hygiene.
Workwear and PPE
You cannot put a price on safety, but you can certainly get a good deal on it. We stock a range of workwear and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to keep your team safe and visible. From high-vis jackets to gloves and hard hats, we have the gear to ensure you are compliant with health and safety standards.
Safety Signs
Are your fire exit signs looking a bit faded? Is that "Slippery Surface" sign cracked down the middle? We supply a wide variety of safety signs to help you communicate hazards clearly. It is a small investment that keeps your staff safe and the health and safety inspectors happy.
Janitorial Supplies
Finally, let’s talk about cleaning. A clean site is a safe site. Our range of janitorial supplies includes everything you need to keep your workspace spick and span, from heavy-duty bin bags to industrial cleaning fluids.
Why Indigo Supplies?
We know we aren't the only supplier out there. But there is a reason businesses have been sticking with us for over 25 years.

- 5-Star Service: We are incredibly proud of our 5-star Google rating. It turns out that answering the phone quickly and actually knowing about the products you sell is quite popular with customers. Who knew?
- Price Beater Guarantee: We know budgets are tight. If you find the same product cheaper elsewhere, tell us. We will do our absolute utmost to beat it. We want you to get the best deal without compromising on service.
- Fast Delivery: We offer free delivery on all orders over £200, and standard delivery is just £3.95 for orders under £15. We know that when you run out of materials, you usually needed them yesterday, so we work hard to get your order to you as fast as possible.
