Joist Hangers (11)
Joist hangers provide extra support and stability to ceiling, decking and floor timber joists. These also prevent damp penetration to the ends of timber joists. At Speedy Fixings, we supply a large selection of joist hangers, including face fix joist hangers, wrap over joist hangers, masonry hangers and truss clips.
Joist hanger types and sizes
Face fix joist hangers
Our face fix joist hangers are available in various sizes to meet your requirements. From 38mm joist hangers to a 250mm wide joist hanger, these can be fastened by our twist nails for joist hangers or 12mm fasteners for the bolt holes.
Wrap-over and masonry joist hangers
We supply standard wrap over joist hangers, long leg joist hangers and extra long leg joist hangers. These pre-galvanised steel joist hangers are available in a comprehensive range of sizes. Masonry hangers are designed to support beams, timber joists and trussed rafters from masonry walls.

Wall Ties (16)
Wall ties, also known as brick ties, are restraint fixings used to create stability in cavity walls. They are fixed in place with screws or nails and bring together both sides of the cavity wall. Wall ties are made using corrosion and fire-resistant materials, and some include a drip formation, to stop water from getting inside the cavity.

In addition to our stock ranges, we also manufacture in house, a wide variety of cramps, brackets, dowels, windposts etc. Contact us with your enquiry.

Poorly installed wall ties can lead to a series of structural issues and failures, including horizontal cracks in walls, bulging walls and in extreme cases, collapsing walls. This 200mm Heavy Duty Type 1 Wall Tie is suitable for most building sizes and types, but should not be used where there is excessive movement between both walls, as these ties are not flexible.
