Screwfix Updates Sprint Service To 20 Minutes

Further cementing its commitment to supporting busy tradespeople, omni-channel retailer, Screwfix, has updated its Sprint service to deliver thousands of products from store to site in as little as 20 minutes.

Since its launch in 2021, Screwfix Sprint has delivered more than 2.7 million products across the UK in 60 minutes. However, this latest development will take Sprint even further, giving the nation’s busy tradespeople the ability to shop more than 8,500 products from one of its stores to site in as little as 20 minutes.

Available exclusively on the Screwfix App, Screwfix Sprint gives even greater convenience and flexibility to customers, saving busy tradespeople time and money while they’re on the job.

Following the recent launch of Screwfix’s new ultra-compact City stores across the UK, more than 480 stores now offer Sprint, bringing Screwfix products even closer to customers, with the fastest delivery under 5 minutes.

Screwfix Sprint now serves 58% of the UK, and almost 80,000 customers have used the service since its launch, with the most popular store locations for deliveries being across London. The most popular products delivered via Sprint are the job finishers that tradespeople need day in, day out, including rubble sacks, junction boxes and plugs.

Max Britten, Screwfix Managing Director, said: “Time is money for our busy tradespeople. Our customers tell us how important it is to stay on site and not lose hours in the day stuck in traffic. This year, over 15,000 customers have used Screwfix Sprint for the first time, and we know what a valuable service it has become for tradespeople. We’re continuing to expand the service further so that we can provide the ultimate convenience to the trade.”

Mohammed Rahman, Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2024 Champion, said: "Screwfix Sprint has made a real difference in my day-to-day work. I rely on it daily, and it’s helped me serve more customers and keep my business running smoothly. As a plumber in London, having quick access to urgent parts means I don’t have to leave the job site or risk losing my parking spot - I can stay on site and get the job done efficiently."

Created to offer hyper-convenience and value with just a £4.99 delivery charge, Screwfix Sprint provides more than 8,500 products in as little as 20 minutes and is available through the Screwfix App.
