With 40,000+ visitors, 900+ exhibitors and 11 CPD-accredited content streams across three days from 23-25 June at the NEC Birmingham, InstallerSHOW is set to be the biggest and most wide-ranging edition yet. It brings together hands-on demonstrations, forward-looking discussion and international collaboration, creating opportunities to build skills, grow businesses and shape the future of heat, water, electrics and construction.
InstallerBUILD
InstallerBUILD is one of the show’s most dynamic areas, dedicated for builders, roofers, carpenters, flooring installers, kitchen fitters and RMI professionals. At its centre is The HAUS, a full-scale, two-storey demonstration build designed by award-winning architects and constructed using regenerative materials. It showcases circular material systems, resilient construction methods and modern insulation and cladding solutions.
The wider area delivers a practical learning environment, with demonstrations from leading manufacturers and suppliers. Key features include the Building Safety Forum, addressing regulations, compliance and best practice, and the NHIC Home Improvement Hub, focusing on competence, training and retrofit delivery. Visitors can see roofing demonstrations from NFRC and SIG Roofing, flooring showcases and competitions from FITA, and the Super Trowel bricklaying competition hosting a regional heat live at the show, alongside heritage craft demonstrations.
InstallerELECTRIC
InstallerELECTRIC highlights the growing importance of electrification and smart technologies. Bringing together manufacturers and suppliers across wiring, distribution, EV charging, automation and renewable integration, the area offers live demonstrations and expert-led sessions covering regulations, safety and the role of electrics in energy and building management systems.
InstallerPLAZA
InstallerPLAZA, sponsored by Vaillant & Glow-worm, combines product launches, debates, celebrity appearances, challenges, award winners and live entertainment. It captures the collaborative and professional spirit of the event while focusing on key issues affecting the heating and plumbing sector.
Brand Ambassador Hub
The Brand Ambassador Hub, sponsored by ITS, is a dynamic gathering point where influencers will connect with our visitors. As well as grassroots conversations about the issues that matter most, this area will feature Top Picks for 2026 which, as the name suggests, will highlight the products and solutions to watch out for this year.
Installer Kitchens & Bathrooms
The Kitchen Fitter Arena, sponsored by Howdens, focuses on hands-on demonstrations and installer-led sessions covering installation best practice, site challenges and business growth. The Bathroom Association Theatre explores innovation and best practice in bathrooms, reflecting the increasing overlap between design, technology and sustainability.
Professional Woodworking Expo
A major addition for 2026, the co-located Professional Woodworking Expo expands InstallerSHOW’s relevance for those working with timber and bespoke joinery. As the UK’s only dedicated woodworking tradeshow, it showcases advanced machining, fabrication tools and digital workflows. Live demonstrations highlight both traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, including CNC and precision fabrication.
Painting & Decorating Show
Also co-located is the Painting & Decorating Show, bringing professional painters and decorators into the wider event. Visitors can see live demonstrations of tools, spraying systems and coatings, alongside practical workshops. The TradesTalk Theatre hosts talks and debates relevant to painters and decorators.
World Plumbing Conference
For the first time ever, InstallerSHOW will host the World Plumbing Conference in partnership with the World Plumbing Council and CIPHE. With the theme Worldwide Problems – Global Solutions, it will address skills development, sustainability, water conservation and public health challenges.
