Manufactured to the catalogue sizes from ISI-marked pipe, or sound used stock that has been inspected, straightened and repainted. Often the right answer is some of each.
Made in our own production to the sizes and weights in the catalogue. Standards and ledgers from ISI-marked 1.5 inch, 50 mm OD pipe; jacks on 28, 30 or 32 mm stems with 152 mm plates; plate built from 2–3 mm sheet on angle frame, welded or riveted as you prefer. Finished in Oxford blue enamel.
Material that has come back off hire or been bought in from finished projects, then sorted: bent members out, cups and blades checked, threads cleaned, and the sound stock repainted. It behaves like the new item on site at a materially lower cost per tonne.
What we supply
Sizes and weights for every line are on the products page. Anything there can be quoted new, used, or as a mix.
Steel formwork panels in welded and riveted builds, in the standard site sizes.
The internal pin that joins one standard to the next, lift after lift.
Punched, stiffened steel decking in galvanised or painted finish.
Rectangular MS channel used to line, stiffen and align formwork runs.
Round mild-steel scaffold tube in 10 ft and 20 ft lengths.
Fixed and swivel couplers for joining scaffold tube at right angles or any angle.
Buying well
The items that stay in your fleet for years — standards, ledgers, jacks, props — are worth buying new, because you will re-erect them hundreds of times and the cost per cycle is tiny. The items that get cut, drilled, dropped and left behind are worth buying used, because their life on your site is measured in months either way.
We will say which is which for your job, even when it means a smaller invoice. A contractor who over-bought once does not come back, and repeat business is the whole business.
A bill of quantities, a photo of the drawing, or the slab area and floor count — whatever you have is enough to start.
