Drill bits and adhesives are always kept in stock but for non-standard items we are able to source any item on a quick turnaround and always at the best possible price. We’ve developed a reputation for providing obscure fasteners that are not commonly found on the market, helping our clients to secure products that are crucial to the success of their business.
Fine City Fasteners are also official stockists working very closely with the likes of Timco, Soudal,Toolbank and more, providing a wide range of items that are suitable for use in any trade.
We use our own branded delivery vehicle to ensure our customers receive their orders on time and rarely charge for deliveries in the local area. This includes delivering directly to businesses or work sites if required.
Providing customer service of the highest order is important to us as new and existing customers require a reliable and flexible supplier that can adapt to the changing needs of their business. We see ourselves not only as experts in the fastening industry but as specialists in working with people to help them achieve their goals.
