Picking the right product

Structural fixings

Length

A rule of thumb is a fixing at least two and a half times the thickness of the piece you are fixing.

Before your Inverness delivery arrives

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
