Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors delivery in Antrim

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.

We deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to sites, driveways and yards across Antrim, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

Use the right nails

Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Yes. Put everything on one list, from joist hangers and timber connectors to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
