Grab Adhesives

A common result of structural damage is certain objects coming loose and/or falling off, often resulting in weakened structures and even holes in vital areas of a property including roofs and walls.

For small repairs that need to be executed quickly, Grab Adhesives have the strength and durability to not only fix the problem temporarily, but can be a permanent solution if you choose. Many of these adhesives can be used for both interior and exterior applications, so whether you’ve lost a roof tile in high winds or your current method of fastening anything from skirting boards to splashbacks fails you unexpectedly.

Replacing Roof Tile

If you are planning to use this kind of adhesive for exterior use, it is extremely important to check that the particular one you have chosen is suitable for this.

We stock a number of Grab Adhesives that can be used for both interior and exterior projects and repairs, you can find out more about them here.

Bathroom Sealant & Shower Seals

You could start your day like any other, then all of a sudden, a few drops of water appear on the ceiling. A leaking shower is an incredibly time sensitive issue, if left for too long, the ceiling below the shower can begin to weaken and crack, resulting in further damage that will take more time and money to fix.

It is important to check your shower for leaks and damage regularly, but in the case of an unexpected leak, the best course of action is to reseal your shower and replace your Shower Seal as soon as possible.

Identifying the leak can be as simple as a visual inspection to detect gaps in sealant around the shower tray, any damaged flooring or loose tiles surrounding the shower, or even patches of mould and water stains.

The Bathroom and Kitchen Sealants that we stock are not only fast curing for a quick and easy solution for any emergency bathroom repair, but also contain a powerful anti-fungal agent, which will not only fix the current issue, but will help prevent any further issues.

Sealing Shower

If you find that your shower tray is flooding, causing water damage and weakness to the area surrounding the shower, it may be time to upgrade your Shower Seal.

Our range of Shower Seals offer an effective solution against flooding, and is available in several designs to accommodate for most if not all types of showers and thicknesses of shower glass.

Fence Panel Clips

Fences are one of the more common exterior structures to fall victim to the elements. Anything from holes in the panels, fence posts lifting or even a full panel being blown over in high winds.

This can be a major concern for privacy and security for a home or business, so it is important that if this does happen, that the situation is remedied as quickly as possible.

Fallen Fence Panel

Your first course of action should be to inspect your panels for signs of old age and rot, and if this is the case, it would be best to look in to replacing your entire fence.

However, whether you’re looking to add extra strength to your current panels or adding a preventative measure to upgraded panels, Fence Panel Clips are an effective as well as budget friendly choice.

These clips are a quick and easy way to secure fence panels and trellis to timber posts, creating a more durable structure that is more equipped to handle the harsh elements, and are the ideal repair solution for providing extra peace of mind next time the weather becomes problematic.

According to fencing merchant Lawsons, it is recommended that these clips are installed “4 clips per panel or a minimum of 2”¹

We offer a range of Fence Panel Clips that will accommodate for a variety of fences, and with all of the clips in the range available at an excellent price, any fencing project big or small can be completed with ease.
