Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a screw and a nail?

Nails are generally best for shear strength and rapid construction in timber, whereas screws provide superior "pull-out" resistance and are much easier to remove or adjust if necessary.

How do I know what size screw to buy?

As a general rule, the screw should be long enough to penetrate the material you are fixing, plus at least two-thirds of the depth of the base material. For most applications, ensure that at least 25 mm of thread enters the substrate.

Which fixings are best for plasterboard?

For light items, standard wall plugs or butterfly toggles are sufficient. For heavier items, like radiators or large shelving, use specialised heavy-duty anchors, such as Snaptoggles or Grip It fixings, to ensure the weight is distributed across the back of the plasterboard.

Do you offer competitive pricing on large orders?

Yes. We are committed to keeping our prices low, and you will find that our pricing remains competitive even when ordering in larger volumes.

Can I get next-working-day delivery on these items?

Yes. All listed fixings, screws, and nails are in stock and eligible for next-working-day delivery across most of the UK, provided your order is placed before our daily cut-off time.
