A specialist manufacturer with our registered PermaSEAL® & Easi-Fix® ranges
For more than 25 years, we’ve been designing and manufacturing solutions for structural repair and damp problems.
Our structural repair range, Easi-Fix, began with our mechanical wall ties — invented and patented by our founder, Dave Wookey, and the team. These offer fast and effective wall tie replacement and have been widely used across the industry.
We’ve expanded the range to include crack stitching kits and lateral restraints that are all produced with the same ethos — precision-engineered solutions to structural repair problems that are highly effective and long-lasting.
PermaSEAL is our range of damp proofing and basement waterproofing products. Including cavity drain and damp proof membranes, tanking products and basement drainage systems, they’re designed to be easy to use while providing a comprehensive, long-lasting solution.
PermaPROTECT is our collection of highly effective anti-mould products. Featuring mould-resistant and anti-condensation paint, mould remover kits and mould wash, you can find everything you need to kill black mould and stop it coming back.

Technical expertise
Our team of technical advisers have decades of experience within the industry. Their insight and knowledge go into creating our product pages and data sheets, ensuring you have the most relevant information to decide if they’re suitable and on-spec for your projects. But, if you can’t find what you’re looking for or need detailed information about our products, advice about projects and jobs, or even want us to take a look at your technical specs and plans, they’re on hand to help. Our advisers are based at our trade counter and can also be contacted by phone or email.
-
High-quality products
We’ve worked hard to ensure our range of products represents the best quality available. As our ranges have grown, they’ve retained the same technical excellence that our customers can rely on. For example, our tanking systems and cavity drain membranes conform to BS8102:2022 — an essential consideration when working with below-ground structures. We make sure our products are fit-for-purpose, ensuring you remain compliant and deliver quality results.
-
Unrivalled customer support
Customer service is at the heart of what we do. Whether you’re embarking on your first DIY project or are a professional, our team are on hand to help. We can give you guidance and pointers on your project and help you choose the right products. We have no interest in recommending unsuitable products or trying to sell you something you don’t need.
You can contact us 9 am – 5 pm, Monday to Friday, by phone or email, or drop in to speak to us at our trade counter.
-
Great availability of stock
You’ve done your research and know exactly what you need. You find it online, go to place your order, and it’s out of stock — or worse, you order it and then get told that delivery will take weeks.
We work hard to avoid that by keeping our warehouse well-stocked and ready to dispatch. Whether it’s a single item or materials for a large project, we aim to fulfil your order right away and deliver it quickly, and we’ll be in touch ASAP if there are any updates or issues.
-
Over 5,000 reviews
Hearing directly from our customers and taking on board feedback is critical to us improving as a business. We’re closing in on 6,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5, and 96% of reviewers recommending us. We’re extremely grateful to everyone who has left us a review, and immensely proud of the result.
-
Low prices
Noticed our prices don’t all end with ‘.99’? That’s because we’re not in the habit of rounding up. We try to deliver the best possible value and negotiate with suppliers so we can pass the savings on to you. Coupled with the long-lasting effectiveness of our products, you’d be hard-pressed to find better value.
-
