About Us

Established in 1983, UK Fasteners was originally set up to supply a range of general fasteners and special turned parts to a wide range of industries - from shower manufacturers to furniture makers - that we still do successfully to this day.

Around 20 years ago the company saw the opportunity to supply a range of screws and fixings to the PVCu window, door & conservatory market and since then this has become a core product contributing a significant percentage of our overall sales. So successful is the WindowMASTER® range, UK Fasteners has built an enviable reputation for quality products and excellent service that we believe today is second to none.

In March 2006, the then owner of UK Fasteners decided to sell the business and the company was purchased by Till & Whitehead Ltd, a long-established company based in Bolton, who have supplied architectural ironmongery, tools, clothing and chemicals throughout the country for over 100 years. UK Fasteners and its products were seen as the ideal accompaniment to their existing company portfolio.

We are keen to continue our growth and diversity into new industries so there has been significant investment into our latest addition to the UK Fasteners product range, PlasMASTER. This range of specially designed screws for use in thermo plastics will offer a cost effective and realistic alternative to the market leading products.
