Pegler taps - still as good as anything else?

[julianm]

Looking to replace some cheap kitchen taps - mixer type with lever handles - 30 yrs ago Pegler were the probably the best - anything else better within their price range?
Thanks if you`re a plumber or DIY`er & know this stuff!

Grohe are the standard by which all taps are measured.

Needn't cost the earth either...

Is there a difference between Pegler and Francis Pegler? I can imagine it being like the left twix right twix adverts. Selco stock the Francis pegler stuff and they are rather quite good taps, i have fit them to my most recent btl bathrooms and kitchens.

Perrin & Rowe taps are nice, I have their Oberon tap in my kitchen.

Yeah but you have to hand over your first born and a kidney to afford them.

As are many others, but they will quite rightly be compared to the ubiquitous Grohe...

Grohe being a benchmark in the market.

Thanks very much for the info - we`re after something pretty simple so I think I`ll stick with the Peglers.
As an aside & as it`s Pistonheads I feel I should announce that I have bought cars for the less than the price of some of those taps!
Thanks again, Julian
