FAQs – Repair & Building Tools
What are the essential tools for basic property repairs?
For general repairs, a core set should include a scraper, filling knife, mixing paddle, sealant gun, trowel, and a utility blade. These allow you to remove damaged material, mix and apply new products, and finish to a smooth standard. Add measuring and marking tools for accuracy and a sanding block for surface prep.
Can these tools be used on both internal and external jobs?
Yes. Most tools in this category are suited for use both indoors and out, provided they're used with compatible materials. For external work, ensure tools are rust-resistant and cleaned properly after use. Long-handled tools or reinforced handles may also be beneficial for tougher exterior surfaces.
Do you offer tools for working with specialist coatings or materials?
Yes, several tools in our range are suited for specialist products like resins, fire-retardant coatings, levelling compounds, and waterproof membranes. These include compatible mixing paddles, trowels, and spreaders designed to handle thick or fast-setting substances with precision.
