INSTALLERSHOW PREVIEW
INSTALLERSHOW 2026
THE UK’ S BIGGEST INSTALLATION EVENT GETS EVEN BIGGER
Following another record-breaking year, InstallerSHOW returns to the NEC Birmingham from 23-25 June 2026, set to be the biggest edition yet. With over 46,000 visitors, 1,500 + exhibitors, and 11 live CPDaccredited content streams, this isn’ t just incremental growth- 2026 marks a transformational moment as InstallerSHOW evolves into a truly comprehensive multi-trade platform.
A Multi-Trade Ecosystem Under One Roof For 2026, InstallerSHOW expands through strategic co-location with the Professional Woodworking Expo and the Painting & Decorating Show, creating one of the UK’ s most comprehensive platforms for installation and finishing professionals. This reflects how real-world projects are delivered, bringing together the trades that work alongside each other on site every day.
The synergy is powerful. Installers working on kitchens and bathrooms connect directly with woodworking specialists. Those fitting out commercial spaces access the latest finishing techniques. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and decorators- all the disciplines that must coordinate on every project- now converge in one place, creating unprecedented opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing.
Professional Woodworking Expo brings cutting-edge machinery, tools, and materials for woodworking professionals, from individual craftspeople to major furniture manufacturers. The Painting & Decorating Show delivers trusted brands and innovations in coatings, wallcoverings, and application techniques. Combined with InstallerSHOW’ s strengths in HVAC, plumbing, renewables, electrical, kitchens, and bathrooms, the result is unmatched breadth under one roof.
Four Dedicated Show Themes InstallerSHOW 2026 maintains clear structure through four themes: HVAC Plumbing and Renewables, InstallerBUILD, InstallerELECTRIC, and Installer Kitchens & Bathrooms. Whether you’ re exploring heat pump technology, EV charging solutions, or sourcing bathroom products, you’ ll find focused zones for your specific interests while remaining connected to the broader event.
