Fixings & Fasteners

The Complete Guide to Fixings, Fasteners & Ironmongery

Choosing the right fixing is one of the most critical decisions in any construction or DIY project. The wrong screw in plasterboard will pull out; the wrong bolt outdoors will rust. We stock a comprehensive selection of hardware designed for wood, metal, concrete, and drywall.

Screws & Nails

The essentials of the trade. We stock these in bulk quantities so you never run out mid-job.

• Screws: High-performance multi-purpose screws that drive fast and hold tight.

• Nails: From standard wire nails to specific Cartridge Nails and Nail Gun Cartridges for gas and pneumatic nailers (Paslode compatible etc.).

• Staples: Heavy-duty staples for upholstery, roofing felt, and vapour barriers.

Nuts, Bolts & Washers

For heavy-duty structural applications and machinery.

• Bolts: High-tensile bolts for steelwork and construction.

• Nuts & Washers: Ensure a secure hold and spread the load to prevent damage to the surface material. We stock various finishes including Zinc Plated and Galvanised for weather resistance.

Specialist Fixings: Masonry & Plasterboard

Different walls require different solutions. Don't guess—use the right plug.

• Masonry Fixings: Heavy-duty shield anchors, through-bolts, and concrete screws for fixing into brick, stone, and concrete.

• Plasterboard Fixings: Stop heavy items ripping out of hollow walls. We stock self-drive plugs, toggle bolts, and hollow wall anchors for secure mounting on drywall.

• Household Fixings: General-purpose wall plugs and hooks for everyday tasks.

Clips, Clamps & Rivets

Secure pipes and join sheet metal effectively.

• Clips & Clamps: Essential for plumbers and automotive work. Our range includes Jubilee Clips and Hose Clips for securing flexible pipes and ducting.

• Rivets: The permanent solution for joining sheet metal. We stock blind rivets and professional Rivet Guns for rapid installation.

Adhesives & Tapes

Sometimes a mechanical fixing isn't enough, or you need a clean, invisible bond.

• Fixing Adhesives: High-strength grab adhesives and construction glues that replace nails for skirting boards, panels, and frames.

• Fixing Tapes: Double-sided mounting tapes and industrial duct tapes for temporary and permanent holds.
