|---|---|---|
| Essex | Harlow | Harlow and wider Essex |
| London | Dagenham | London and surrounding areas |
| Kent | Belvedere | Kent and South East London |
| Heathrow | Hayes | Heathrow and West London |
For current location information, visit our Hydraulic Trade Counters page.
Completely Hydraulic also provides mobile hydraulic engineering support across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Birmingham is a mobile-service area and is not one of our four physical hydraulic trade counters.
What Can You Buy at Our Hydraulic Trade Counters?
Our counters support a wide range of hydraulic repair, maintenance and component requirements.
Products available can include:
- Hydraulic hose
- Hydraulic hose assemblies
- Hydraulic fittings
- Adaptors
- Couplings
- Hydraulic oil
- Industrial hose products
- Valves and selected hydraulic components
- Hose protection products
- Spill-control products
- Related hydraulic accessories
Stock varies by location and product requirement, so if you need a specific item it can be useful to contact the counter before travelling.
While-You-Wait Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
A failed hydraulic hose does not always require an engineer to visit the machine.
If the hose has already been safely removed, customers can bring the assembly to one of our trade counters for identification and replacement.
Where the correct hose and compatible fittings are available, a replacement hose assembly can be produced at the counter.
See our while-you-wait hydraulic hose service.
What Should I Bring When I Need a Replacement Hydraulic Hose?
The original hose assembly is often the most useful starting point.
Where possible, bring:
- The complete old hose assembly
- Both end fittings
- Any readable hose layline information
- Machine make and model
- Photographs showing how the hose is installed
- Any known pressure or application information
If the original hose cannot be brought in, accurate information about its size, length, fittings and application becomes particularly important.
Thread diameter alone is not enough to identify every hydraulic fitting. Connection type, thread, pitch, sealing method, seat form and size can all matter. Bringing the complete hose assembly can make identification considerably easier.
Hydraulic Hose Identification
Correctly identifying a hydraulic hose involves more than matching its outside diameter or finding something that appears to fit the connection.
The replacement assembly needs to consider factors such as:
- Hose size
- Hose construction
- Working pressure requirement
- Fluid compatibility
- Temperature
- Fitting type
- Hose length
- Routing and bend radius
- Application
If you are trying to identify an existing hose, our hydraulic hose layline guide explains the information that may be printed along the hose.
Hydraulic Fittings & Adaptors
Hydraulic connections come in numerous standards and sealing arrangements.
Common fitting families encountered in UK hydraulic systems can include:
- BSP
- JIC
- ORFS
- Metric / DIN connections
- NPT in some equipment
A fitting should not be selected by thread diameter alone.
Thread form, pitch, sealing method, seat arrangement, size, pressure and compatibility with the rest of the hydraulic system need to be considered.
Our hydraulic fittings and adaptors guide explains the main connection families in more detail.
Hydraulic Adaptors
Adaptors can help connect different hydraulic interfaces where an appropriate engineered connection is required.
However, adding adaptors unnecessarily can introduce additional joints into the system.
Each additional connection can create another potential leak point, so the objective should be a suitable, correctly specified connection rather than building unnecessary chains of adaptors.
Hydraulic Couplings
Hydraulic couplings are used where circuits need suitable connection and disconnection arrangements.
Selection needs to account for the system’s:
- Pressure
- Flow
- Fluid
- Connection type
- Environment
- Application
If you are unsure what is fitted to the machine, bringing the existing component or clear photographs can help with identification.
Hydraulic Oil
Our trade counters can also support hydraulic oil requirements.
Common viscosity grades encountered include ISO VG 32, ISO VG 46 and ISO VG 68, but the viscosity number alone does not establish which oil a machine requires.
Always prioritise the equipment manufacturer’s specification and confirm compatibility before topping up or changing fluid.
Our hydraulic oil guide explains viscosity, fluid types, oil life, contamination and maintenance in more detail.
Not Sure Which Hydraulic Oil You Need?
Some machines require specialist or OEM-specific hydraulic oil. Using the wrong oil can cause serious damage.

Completely Hydraulic is an official Alfagomma distributor, providing access to hydraulic hose and associated fluid-transfer products through our trade-counter and engineering network.
Using compatible hose and fitting systems is important when producing hydraulic hose assemblies.
Hose and fittings should not be mixed between manufacturers simply because the components appear physically compatible unless the combination has been appropriately approved or validated.
Can the Trade Counter Help Identify a Hydraulic Part?
In many cases, yes.
If you have an existing:
- Hose
- Fitting
- Adaptor
- Coupling
- Valve
- Hydraulic component
bring the component with you where practical.
Useful supporting information can include machine details, photographs, measurements and any visible manufacturer or part markings.
Some specialist components may require further investigation or sourcing rather than immediate replacement from counter stock.
Trade Counter or Mobile Hydraulic Engineer?
The best route depends on the problem.
| Trade Counter May Be Suitable | Mobile Engineer May Be More Suitable |
|---|---|
| Hose has already been safely removed | Machine is immobilised on site |
| You need a replacement hose assembly | Fault has not yet been identified |
| You need fittings, adaptors or oil | Hose or component needs removing on site |
| You have a component to identify | There may be a wider hydraulic-system fault |
| You are collecting maintenance supplies | Emergency breakdown assistance is required |
If the machine cannot be brought to us, our 24/7 mobile hydraulic engineers can attend suitable hydraulic breakdowns.
24/7 Emergency Hydraulic Support
The physical trade counter and our emergency mobile engineering service serve different purposes.
If machinery has failed on site, call 0800 707 6556 for emergency hydraulic support.
Depending on the fault, our mobile engineers can assist with:
- Hydraulic hose failures
- Hose replacement
- Fittings and connections
- Hydraulic leaks
- Hydraulic fault diagnosis
- Suitable on-site hydraulic repairs
Where a component requires more extensive work, it may need to be transferred into our hydraulic repair workshop.
Hydraulic Ram & Cylinder Support
Our trade-counter network is backed by Completely Hydraulic’s wider hydraulic cylinder capability.
If the problem involves a hydraulic ram or cylinder, support can include:
- Initial assessment
- Hydraulic ram repair
- Cylinder rebuilding
- Rod and barrel assessment
- Replacement components where appropriate
- Hydraulic cylinder manufacturing
For qualifying repairs, we also offer a free hydraulic cylinder collection service.
Hydraulic Trade Accounts
Businesses that regularly purchase hydraulic products or use Completely Hydraulic’s engineering services can apply for a hydraulic trade credit account.
A trade account can provide a convenient route for businesses requiring ongoing hydraulic supplies and engineering support. Applications can be completed online.

Why Use a Hydraulic Trade Counter?
Buying hydraulic components is not always the same as buying a standard consumable.
A trade counter gives you the opportunity to bring in the failed component and discuss the application with people who work with hydraulic equipment.
This can be particularly useful when:
- The fitting type is unknown
- A replacement hose needs assembling
- An old component has no readable part number
- You need to compare an existing component
- You are unsure which oil specification is required
- A simple parts request may actually indicate a wider hydraulic fault
Hydraulic systems can retain stored pressure even after machinery has stopped. Before removing a hose or component, the machine should be appropriately isolated, loads made safe and stored hydraulic pressure relieved in accordance with the equipment requirements. Never use your hand to search for a pressurised hydraulic leak.
