Frequently Asked Questions – Builders Metalwork

What is builders metalwork used for?
Builders metalwork includes joist hangers, wall ties, angle brackets, and restraint straps — all designed to connect and reinforce timber or masonry structures safely and securely. They're essential in roofing, flooring, and structural framing.

What’s the difference between face fix and top fix joist hangers?
Face fix joist hangers are nailed or screwed directly to the vertical face of a timber or wall, while top fix hangers are mounted over a supporting beam or ledger. The choice depends on your joist layout and support method.

Are wall ties necessary in cavity wall construction?
Yes — wall ties are essential for connecting the inner and outer leaves of a cavity wall, maintaining structural stability and allowing moisture to drain correctly between layers.

Can I use galvanised metalwork outdoors?
Yes — galvanised metalwork offers corrosion resistance for outdoor and damp environments. For aggressive or coastal environments, stainless steel options may be recommended for added durability.

Do your metalwork fixings meet UK building regulations?
Yes — all of our builders metalwork products conform to relevant British Standards and are suitable for use in regulated construction and refurbishment projects.
