Fixings & Tools

Anchors, Bolts & Threaded Rod delivered to Thurso

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.

Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Thurso, we can supply the anchors and bolts and deliver to site.

Choosing from our anchors and bolts range

  • Threaded rod, nuts and washersIn common diameters and grades.
  • Sleeve and through-bolt anchorsMechanical anchors for concrete and solid masonry.
  • Coach bolts and coach screwsFor timber to timber and timber to masonry fixings.
  • Concrete screwsFast, removable fixings straight into masonry.

Estimating your anchors and bolts

As an illustration only: anchors at 600 mm centres along a 4.2 m ledger means 8 fixings. Structural fixings must follow your design, so send us the specified anchor and spacing and we will price it.

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.

Before your Thurso delivery arrives

Boxed with the rest of your order. Thurso is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • With roughly 6h 17m of daylight in Thurso around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Your questions answered

Do you deliver anchors and bolts to trades and homeowners in Thurso?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What anchor should I use in hollow block?

Resin anchors with mesh sleeves, or anchors designed for hollow masonry. Standard expansion anchors may not hold.

How long does resin take to cure?

It depends on the product and temperature, from minutes to hours. The cartridge gives cure times.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Thurso?

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.
