What We Do
Fixings can look simple on a drawing, but getting them right takes experience. MCP Fixings supports contractors, engineers and designers with practical, compliant specification advice that aligns with BS 8539, EN 1992-4, CPR, UKCA and ETA standards. We help you choose fixings that not only meet the technical requirements on paper – but also work safely, reliably and efficiently when on site
Design and specification decisions shape everything that follows on site, cost, compliance, installation time, and ultimately, safety. At MCP Fixings we work with contractors, engineers and designers to ensure every fixing choice is technically correct, compliant with the latest standards, and practical to install in real-world conditions. We understand the challenges:
- Drawings that lack detail
- Specifications that don’t reflect what is on site
- Fixings chosen without load, substrate or environment considered
- Mid-project changes that create uncertainty
Our role is to bridge the gap – giving you clear, reliable advice from the very start
Not every fixing shown on a drawing is suitable once the ground is broken, or you’re on the scaffold. We review your project and provide guidance on:
- Selecting anchors and fasteners based on substrate, load and environment
- Proposing compliant and possibly innovative alternatives that meet or exceed the original spec
- Ensuring fire, corrosion and structural compatibility
- Supplying the correct technical data sheets and documentation
- Supporting engineers with performance calculations and load checks
We don’t just suggest products – we explain the reasoning behind each recommendation, so you can defend the decision to main contractors or building control
Every fixing must be backed by recognised approvals and the correct standard. Our specification support aligns with:
- BS 8539 – code of practice for post-installed anchors
- BS EN 1992-4 – Eurocode 2: Design of fastenings in concrete
- Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
- UKCA and CE Marking requirements
- ETA approvals for validated performance
This ensures everything chosen during design is lawful, traceable and ready for scrutiny at inspection
Budgets are tight. Deadlines are tighter. We help identify fixings that:
- Meet the required performance
- Reduce installation time
- Can lower overall cost
- Minimise risk of rework or failure
- Provide long-term durability
It isn’t about swapping for a cheaper product – it’s about choosing a smarter, stronger, safer solution
Design support isn’t a one-off conversation. We stay with you through the full project lifecycle:
- Reviewing changes in materials
- Supporting design revisions
- Providing updated technical documentation
- Advising the site team if installation issues arise
- Ensuring any substitutions remain compliant
When the drawing changes, we keep the specification watertight
