Philip Harris chemical ordering update
Published on 24/11/2025 in Secondary
We’re making it easier and more cost effective to order the chemicals you need for practical science. The price of our hazardous chemicals has reduced. And when you combine your chemical order, you’ll also pay only one delivery charge.
Non hazardous chemicals only - £8.25
Hazardous chemicals, or a mix of hazardous and non hazardous chemicals - £30.
This change is designed with school technicians in mind. By combining orders, you can stretch your budget even further and reduce the number of separate deliveries arriving at your prep room. It’s a simple way to save both money and time while ensuring your shelves stay stocked and ready for lessons.
Here is how an example order could compare to our previous pricing

Combining chemical orders doesn’t just make financial sense. It helps streamline preparation. Fewer individual orders mean fewer deliveries to manage, less admin, and more time to focus on what matters most: supporting safe, engaging experiments for students.
There’s also an environmental benefit. Fewer deliveries mean fewer journeys, reducing packaging and transport emissions. A small but meaningful step towards more sustainable lab operations.
Single-chemical orders will still be available when needed, but each individual delivery will include a separate delivery charge. Planning ahead and combining orders gives you the best value and a smoother experience overall.
At Philip Harris, we’re always looking for ways to support technicians in delivering safe, effective, and engaging science. These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to helping you prepare with confidence and keep your lab running efficiently every day.
Order smarter. Save more. Support great practical science.
