Choosing fixings and tools

Screws & Nails

Screws and nails are the everyday mechanical fixings on site: screws for strong, removable joints and nails for fast fixing of framing, boards and battens. More about screws and nails.

Anchors, Bolts & Threaded Rod

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. More about anchors and bolts.

Adhesives, Sealants & Foam

Adhesives and sealants are the cartridge, can and tub products that bond, fill and seal on site, from silicone and frame sealant to grab adhesive, expanding foam and PVA. More about adhesives and sealants.

Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors

Timber connectors are galvanised steel brackets that join and restrain structural timber, such as joist hangers that carry joists off a wall or beam and restraint straps that tie floors and roofs to walls. More about joist hangers and timber connectors.

Tools & Site Safety

Site tools and safety gear are the hand tools, consumables and personal protective equipment that every job needs, from trowels and levels to gloves, glasses and hard hats. More about tools and site safety gear.

Fixings & Tools: questions

What screws for plasterboard?

Drywall screws: coarse thread for timber studs, fine thread or self-drilling for metal.

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.

Can I paint over silicone?

Generally no. Use a paintable decorators' caulk if the joint will be painted.

What size joist hanger do I need?

One that matches your joist's width and depth, and the type of support: masonry or timber.

What PPE do I need for cutting blocks?

Eye protection, hearing protection and an FFP3 mask (or a better respirator) for silica dust, plus gloves. Use water suppression or extraction where possible.
