Metalworks
Metalworks provide the essential strength, stability and reinforcement needed throughout modern building projects. From securing joists and trusses to supporting frames, studs, decking and timber connections, these components ensure safe load transfer, structural reliability and long-term performance across both residential and commercial construction.
Metal Sheeting for Protection, Strength and Structural Support
Metal sheeting is used in roofing, cladding, reinforcement and general construction. Offering excellent durability and weather resistance, metal sheeting provides structural rigidity for roofs, walls, sheds, agricultural buildings and industrial units.
Joist Hangers for Secure Timber and Floor Joist Support
Joist hangers provide strong, reliable support for floor joists, decking, extensions and timber framing. Designed for easy fixing and high load capacity, joist hangers ensure safe structural connections in both domestic and commercial builds.
Joist Straps for Reinforcing Wall Plates and Timber Connections
Joist straps are essential for tying joists, rafters and wall plates securely together. By preventing movement and improving structural rigidity, joist straps are widely used in roof construction, lofts, garage conversions and internal floors.
Plates, Braces & Angle Brackets for Timber and Steel Reinforcement
Plates, braces & angle brackets strengthen joints at key connection points, helping stabilise frames, beams, posts and structural openings. These plates, braces & angle brackets provide essential reinforcement for timber, steel and mixed-material construction.
Housing Ties for Masonry and Timber Frame Connection
Housing ties ensure safe, compliant bonding between masonry walls and timber frames. They help maintain structural integrity, reduce movement and meet UK building regulation requirements.
Truss Clips for Roof Truss Fixing and Stability
Truss clips secure roof trusses to wall plates, preventing uplift and lateral movement caused by wind or structural load. Easy to install and extremely strong, truss clips support safe and stable roof construction.
Built for Strength, Compliance and Long-Term Performance
All metalworks products are manufactured from galvanised or stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and load durability. They meet UK building regulation standards to ensure safe, compliant construction.
