Fixings & Tools

Order anchors and bolts for delivery in Edinburgh

Anchors and bolts fix heavy items to concrete, brick and block: mechanical anchors expand in the hole, chemical (resin) anchors bond in it, and threaded rod and bolts make the connection.

Trades and homeowners in Edinburgh can order anchors and bolts for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Delivering anchors and bolts in Edinburgh

Boxed with the rest of your order. Edinburgh is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • In summer Edinburgh gets around 17h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Getting the right anchors and bolts

Edge distances

Every anchor has minimum edge distances and spacings; fixing too close to an edge can crack the masonry.

Mechanical or resin?

Mechanical anchors suit solid concrete and dense masonry. Resin anchors suit heavy loads, close edges and hollow or weaker masonry with the right sleeves.

Questions about anchors and bolts delivery in Edinburgh

How soon can anchors and bolts be delivered in Edinburgh?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Edinburgh?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What is a European Technical Assessment?

An independent assessment of an anchor's performance, which designers use to specify fixings for structural loads.

Do I need structural anchors for a ledger board?

Yes. A ledger carrying a deck or floor is structural; use anchors with a technical assessment and follow the design.
