For the builders merchant

Home extension and renovation is the backbone of the British construction industry.

  2. In-store displays and marketing support

    We first introduced a more 'retail' feel to builders metalwork displays back in the 1990's, with bespoke display stands with eye-catching and informative point-of-sale material.

    Later we completely redesigned our boxes to act as retail displays in their own right.

    Additonal point of sale literature available:

    • Builders Metalwork Pocket Guide
    • Wall Posters
    • Selection of display card (wall or stand mounted)
    • Point of presence (PoP) cards
  3. Availability and Delivery

    Our distributors should never hold more stock than they need. In addition to our well managed inventory levels, we operate a rapid manufacturing service, producing many fast moving products the same day. Our nominal minumum order values mean you don't have to build up a large stock order to qualify for free delivery.

    We always aim to despatch our connectors the same day

    Provided you can place your order by the following times:

    Monday - Thursday: 2pm
    Friday - Midday

    Flexible Delivery Options

    Delivery choices, from a standard 2-3 day service to next day delivery (subject to the above cut-off times) are available. If you need something to be delivered directly to the site the next day, you can talk to our customer care team about that too.

  4. Expert Technical Advice

    We believe that the best people to give advice to building designers and installers about our products are the people who designed them.

    That's why if you call our technical support team, you'll have one of our engineers on the line. Whether you need help choosing the right product, or advice on installation, they can help.
