A better winter setup starts with the problems you face every day. A freezing garage needs suitable heating. An early start on site needs lighting you can position where the work happens. Outdoor maintenance calls for warm workwear, capable tools and power you can depend on.
Our winter essentials range brings together equipment for tradespeople, mechanics, contractors, gardeners and DIY customers. Explore familiar trade brands alongside our own Excel range, with options for everything from a small home workshop to a demanding working site.
Workshop heaters, garage heaters and heating for colder spaces
Make your workspace somewhere you can get on with the job. Our heating selection covers diesel and kerosene heaters, propane heaters, electric heaters, fan heaters and glass panel heaters, alongside freestanding and mounted options.
Whether you want to warm a suitable workshop, add supplementary heating to a room or direct heat towards a working area, choose around the space, available supply and time you spend there.
Diesel and kerosene heaters for larger working areas
For larger spaces with demanding heating requirements, explore our diesel and kerosene heaters, including models from Sealey, Draper and JCB.
These space heaters offer a range of outputs and formats for different working environments. Portable designs make it easier to move heating equipment between suitable locations, while larger fuel tanks can reduce how often you need to stop and refill.
Choose the heat output, fuel type and heater design to match your application. Direct-fired and indirect-fired heaters have different installation and ventilation requirements, so the right choice depends on how and where the heater will operate.
Propane heaters for trade heating applications
Our propane heaters include Sealey Space Warmer and Draper Jet Force models, giving you options across different output levels.
For suitable ventilated working areas, a propane space heater provides substantial heating capacity in a portable format. Compare the required gas supply, heat output and electrical connection before selecting your model.
Fuel-burning heaters must always be used in accordance with their ventilation, clearance and installation instructions.
Electric heaters and fan heaters for everyday warmth
Take the chill out of suitable indoor working areas with electric heaters and portable fan heaters. With no fuel tank or gas cylinder to refill, they offer a straightforward option where an appropriate electrical supply is available.
Fan heaters circulate warm air around the space, making them useful to consider for garages, workshops and other areas covered by the individual model’s specification. Look for heat settings and thermostat controls that suit how you use the room.
For regular heating, consider both the heater’s power consumption and how well the building retains warmth. A heater matched to the space is more useful than maximum wattage alone.
Glass panel heaters for homes, offices and workspaces
Bring warmth into the room with a slim, practical design. Our glass panel heaters include Sealey Baridi models in different outputs and finishes.
Explore options for spaces where appearance matters alongside heating performance. Selected models offer additional controls, including remote or Wi-Fi operation, so you can choose the features that fit your routine.
Tripod heaters and wall-mounted heaters
Put heat closer to the area you use. Tripod heaters offer freestanding, raised positioning, while wall-mounted heaters help keep floor space available for tools, benches and movement.
These categories are worth exploring when you want a more directed heating arrangement. Match the model to its intended environment and allow the specified mounting height and clearances.
Table heaters, pyramid heaters and chiminea heaters
Keep making use of your garden and patio as temperatures fall. Table heaters, pyramid heaters and chiminea heaters offer different ways to add warmth around outdoor seating areas.
Choose a table heater for a compact arrangement, a freestanding pyramid heater for a larger outdoor setup, or a chiminea for a traditional garden focal point. Check the fuel, placement and clearance requirements to find the right fit for your space.
Induction heaters for workshop repairs
Seized fixings can turn a straightforward repair into a lengthy job. Induction heaters apply controlled, localised heat to suitable metal components, helping with the removal of stubborn nuts, bolts and other corroded fixings.
These specialist workshop tools use flameless heating for repair and maintenance work. Choose a model and coil arrangement that give you access to the parts you need to heat.
LED work lights and site lighting for shorter days
Keep the work clearly in view when daylight runs out. From lighting a building site to inspecting an engine bay, the right work light helps you see the task without constantly working around poorly positioned illumination.
Explore tripod site lights, LED flood lights, portable work lights, 360° site lights, magnetic handheld lights, inspection lights and rechargeable mini lights.
Discover the Excel lighting range
Our Excel lighting range covers outputs from 200 to 10,000 lumens, with formats for broad area lighting, close-up repairs and portable everyday use. The range is backed by a three-year warranty.
Choose the light around the work:
Selected Excel models support multiple tool-battery brands through compatible adaptors. That gives you the option to choose lighting around batteries you already own. Check each model’s compatibility and included equipment, as batteries, adaptors, chargers and tripods vary between products.
Winter workwear for early starts and outdoor shifts
Build a working outfit that keeps you comfortable through the colder parts of the day. Our winter workwear selection brings together heated jackets, hoodies, fleeces, trousers, beanies, gloves and safety boots, with options for layering and different working conditions.
Explore clothing across brands including Milwaukee, DeWalt and TuffStuff, with the available styles and features shown in each collection.
Heated jackets: warmth you can adjust
When the morning starts cold, adjustable heating puts extra warmth within reach. Explore our heated jackets and related heated workwear, including Milwaukee heated jacket options.
Choose around fit, heating zones and battery requirements. A compatible battery system can be particularly convenient if you already use that platform. Check whether your chosen jacket includes a battery and charger or is supplied without them.
Work hoodies and fleeces: build your layers
Work hoodies and fleece jackets give you flexible layers for moving between outdoor jobs, vehicles and indoor workspaces.
Wear them as an outer layer in milder conditions or underneath a suitable jacket when the temperature drops. Choose a fit that leaves room to reach, bend and work comfortably, with pockets and fastenings that suit your day.
Work trousers: ready for the next task
From kneeling at an installation to climbing steps and carrying equipment, your work trousers need to move with you.
Explore practical pocket layouts, reinforced areas and kneepad-compatible designs where available. Match the fabric and fit to your work, and look for specifically rated waterproof protection when the job calls for it.
Beanies and gloves: finish the winter setup
Small additions can make cold starts more comfortable. Add a work beanie for warmth and choose gloves that balance the protection, grip and dexterity your tasks require.
For detailed fitting work, finger movement matters. For outdoor handling, insulation and resistance to wet conditions may be priorities. Select gloves by their stated features and protective ratings.
Safety boots: start winter from the ground up
Choose work boots around the surfaces, weather and hazards you encounter. Our safety boots category gives you footwear options to compare for protection, comfort and daily use.
Look at the safety rating, toe protection, sole construction and fit, then check for waterproofing or insulation where needed. Those features vary by model, so choose a pair that suits your actual working conditions.
Leaf blowers and chainsaws for seasonal garden work
Get on top of outdoor maintenance before the next pile of leaves or overgrown branch adds to the job list.
Leaf blowers for paths, gardens and outdoor clearance
Make seasonal clearing easier with our leaf blowers, including options from Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and Excel.
Cordless garden blowers let you move around paths, patios and driveways without trailing a mains cable. Variable speed settings help you adjust the airflow to the task, while selected blower-vacuum models offer a collection function.
Already invested in a battery platform? A compatible body-only leaf blower can help you expand your outdoor toolkit using batteries and chargers you own.
Chainsaws for pruning and timber cutting
Choose a chainsaw that matches the material, cutting capacity and scale of your maintenance work. Compact models suit different tasks from larger saws, so consider access and handling alongside guide bar length.
For cordless chainsaws, battery compatibility can make switching between outdoor tools more convenient. Use the correct protective equipment and work within your training and experience; damaged or tensioned timber may require a specialist.
Pressure washers for muddy vehicles and outdoor cleaning
Winter dirt builds up quickly on vehicles, tools and hard outdoor surfaces. Our pressure washers include options from Makita, Sealey, Hyundai and V-TUF for different cleaning applications.
Explore portable cordless options, mains-powered machines and engine-driven pressure washers according to the work involved. Water flow, operating pressure, hose reach and suitable attachments all influence how the machine handles the job.
Choose the appropriate setting for the surface, then follow the machine’s draining and frost-protection instructions before cold-weather storage.
Vehicle jump starters for mornings that need a backup plan
A vehicle that will not start can delay the entire day. Keep a compatible battery booster ready with our vehicle jump starters, including options from Sealey, Draper, Milwaukee and Schumacher.
Explore compact portable jump packs alongside equipment for more demanding workshop applications. Selected models combine jump-starting with useful extras such as lighting, USB power or tyre inflation.
Match the jump starter to the vehicle’s battery voltage, engine size and fuel type, and keep the unit charged according to its instructions. Choose for the vehicle you need to start, rather than the largest headline amperage.
Portable generators for work beyond the mains supply
Take suitable power to the job with our generators, including petrol, diesel and inverter options from brands such as Hyundai, JCB, Draper, Sealey and Belle.
Whether you are supplying compatible tools, lighting or other equipment, start with the power demand. Allow for both continuous running loads and additional starting requirements, then choose the output, sockets and runtime to suit.
Inverter generators are worth exploring when output quality matters, but compatibility with sensitive electronics must be confirmed for the specific model. Fuel-powered generators must operate outdoors, away from doors, windows and air intakes.

Winter essentials: your questions answered
Which heater should I choose for a garage or workshop?
For a smaller enclosed workspace with suitable mains power, start by exploring electric heaters and fan heaters. Larger working areas may call for a different output or heating arrangement. Diesel, kerosene and propane heaters require particular attention to ventilation and installation conditions. Choose according to the space and the manufacturer’s stated application.
What is the difference between a flood light and an inspection light?
A flood light is generally used to illuminate a wider working area. An inspection light brings illumination closer to components and confined spaces. For a garage or workshop, having both can help you combine general lighting with a clearer view of detailed repairs.
Can Excel work lights use batteries from other brands?
Selected Excel work lights accept batteries from multiple brands through compatible adaptors. Compatibility differs between models, so check the product’s supported battery platforms and which adaptors are included or sold separately.
Do heated jackets come with batteries?
Some heated workwear is supplied with a battery and charger; other listings require them separately. Check the included equipment and compatible battery system before ordering. Runtime also varies with the heat setting and battery capacity.
What size generator do I need for tools and lighting?
Calculate the combined running wattage of the equipment you plan to use at the same time, then allow for additional startup demand. Match that requirement to the generator’s rated continuous and starting outputs, voltage and sockets.
How do I choose a jump starter for my car or van?
Check the jump starter’s stated compatibility with your vehicle’s battery voltage, engine size and petrol or diesel engine. A unit suitable for one vehicle may not suit another. Follow both the vehicle and jump starter instructions when connecting and using it.
Is all winter workwear waterproof?
No. Warmth, water resistance and waterproof protection are different features. Check each garment or pair of boots for the protection you need, and build layers around the weather and your working conditions.
