    </div></div><h3>Mike Jackson, Sales Director at Unicrimp, explores the factors shaping today&#8217;s fixings market and why wholesalers should be taking a fresh look at the opportunities this essential category can offer.</h3>
<p>For many electrical wholesalers, fixings can often be viewed as a secondary purchase category. Yet, in an increasingly competitive market, they present a valuable opportunity to increase basket spend, strengthen customer loyalty and provide contractors with a more complete purchasing solution from a single source.</p>
<p>Whether installers are carrying out a simple domestic refurbishment, mounting electrical equipment or working on larger commercial projects, fixings remain an essential part of almost every installation. The challenge for wholesalers is ensuring they stock the right mix of products to meet a diverse range of application requirements while keeping stockholding manageable and profitable.</p><div id="pewho-1988871446" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>The growing demand for specialist fixing solutions</strong></p>
<p>Traditional plugs, screws and other fastening solutions remain everyday essentials, but modern installation environments require a much broader choice of products.</p>
<p>The increasing use of plasterboard construction, insulated wall systems and lightweight building materials has created demand for specialist fixings capable of supporting heavier loads while maintaining safety and reliability. For wholesalers, this presents an opportunity to move beyond commodity products and offer value-added solutions that solve specific installation challenges.</p>
<p>Recognising these changing requirements, Unicrimp recently expanded its Q-Crimp Fixings range with a number of new additions, including the Bullfix heavy-duty plasterboard fixing system. Designed specifically for plasterboard applications, Bullfix provides installers with a secure fixing solution for heavier items where standard fixings may not offer the same level of confidence. By stocking specialist products alongside core fixing lines, wholesalers can demonstrate technical expertise while helping contractors select the most appropriate solution for the job.</p>
<p><strong>Creating a one-stop-shop proposition</strong></p>
<p>Wholesalers able to provide a complete fixings offering alongside their core electrical ranges are often best positioned to maximise sales opportunities and improve customer retention.</p><div id="pewho-2990939636" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0'); });
</script>
</div></div>
<p>To support this approach, Unicrimp has broadened the Q-Crimp range to offer a more comprehensive portfolio of fixing solutions from a single source. The latest additions include high-performance woodscrews, machine screws, screw caps, self-drill screws and metal expansion plugs, helping wholesalers meet a wider variety of customer requirements while simplifying purchasing and stock management.</p>
<p>A contractor collecting cable management products, wiring accessories or consumer unit components is far more likely to purchase associated fixings at the same time if suitable products are readily available from stock. This not only enhances customer convenience but also creates valuable opportunities for incremental sales across every trade counter transaction.</p>

<p><strong>Simplifying stock management</strong></p>
<p>While contractors want greater choice, wholesalers must also balance stockholding requirements and inventory management.</p>
<p>One of the biggest trends currently shaping the fixings market is the move towards more complete and integrated ranges that offer a broad selection of products through a single supplier relationship. Recent additions to the Q-Crimp Fixings range include high-performance Plus Series Woodscrews, Bullfix plasterboard fixings, machine screws, self-drill screws, metal expansion plugs and fixing accessories, enabling wholesalers to offer solutions for a broader range of installation requirements through a single supplier.</p>
<p>For wholesalers, sourcing a larger proportion of fixing requirements from a single supplier can help streamline ordering, reduce administrative complexity and provide greater consistency across the range offered to customers.</p>
<p><strong>Performance matters</strong></p>
<p>Price remains important, but today&#8217;s installers are increasingly focused on performance, ease of use and installation speed. With labour costs rising and project schedules under pressure, products that simplify installation can offer significant value.</p>
<p>Unicrimp&#8217;s recently launched Plus Series Woodscrews have been developed with installer efficiency in mind. Features such as a sharp Type 17 slash point, deep thread design and reinforced double countersunk head help reduce timber splitting, improve grip and deliver a secure fix across a range of applications. For wholesalers, premium fixing solutions such as the Plus Series offer an opportunity to move the conversation beyond price alone, providing customers with products that can save time on site while delivering consistent performance.</p>
<p><strong>Looking ahead</strong></p>
<p>As contractors increasingly seek convenience, reliability and technical support from their supply chain partners, wholesalers that can provide a comprehensive and well-supported fixing solution are well placed to benefit. Beyond generating additional sales, a well-managed fixings category can help increase basket spend, strengthen customer loyalty and reinforce a wholesaler&#8217;s position as a trusted supply partner.</p>

    </div></div><h3>Unicrimp, a Scolmore Group company, has announced the expansion of its Q-Crimp fixings range with the introduction of a new white grommet strip.</h3>
<p>Following the successful launch of the product in black, the addition of a white option responds directly to market demand and provides greater flexibility for a wider range of installation environments. Available in 3m, 5m and 10m lengths, this new product reflects Unicrimp’s ongoing commitment to developing practical, installer-focused solutions that meet the evolving needs of the electrical sector.</p>
<p>An essential component for consumer unit installations, the premium white grommet strips have been engineered for both durability and ease of use. Manufactured from a flexible yet hard-wearing material, they are designed to protect cables from sharp and abrasive metal edges, helping to ensure a safe and compliant installation. This makes them particularly suited to rewires and consumer unit replacements, where reliable cable protection is critical.</p><div id="pewho-1988871446" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

</div>
</div>
<p>The heavy-duty white grommet strip can be easily cut to the required length, offering installers a convenient and efficient solution on site. Retaining the same performance characteristics as the original black version, the new white variant allows for improved aesthetic integration where required, without compromising on quality or protection.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="pewho-4156009690" class="pewho-before-content pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-sponsored-leaderboard -->
    <div id='div-gpt-ad-1556702621284-0'>

    </div></div><h3>Jake Green, Head of Technical Engagement with Scolmore Group, which incorporates the Unicrimp division of cable accessories, explores how correct cable support prevents strain and damage &#8211; and why wholesalers are central to ensuring contractors have the right products to meet BS7671 requirements.</h3>
<p>For wholesalers, cable support is more than a simple add‑on sale. With BS7671 placing clear obligations on installers to protect cables from mechanical strain and damage, contractors rely heavily on their wholesaler to supply compliant, high‑quality fixings and accessories.</p>
<p><strong>Why cable support matters</strong></p><div id="pewho-1988871446" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</div>
<p>Regulation 522.8.1 of BS7671 requires wiring systems to be selected and installed so that cables and their terminations are not damaged during installation, use or maintenance. In practice, this means contractors need access to a wide range of support solutions &#8211; and they often turn to wholesalers for guidance on what’s appropriate for each job.</p>
<p>Regulations 522.8.5, 522.8.11 and 522.8.12 go further, stating that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cables must not be subjected to mechanical strain</li>
<li>Supports must not have sharp edges</li>
<li>Fixings must not damage the cable</li>
</ul>
<p>This places real emphasis on choosing the right product for the right application &#8211; something wholesalers are ideally positioned to support.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29726" src="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-300x175.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="351" srcset="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-300x175.jpeg 300w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-1024x599.jpeg 1024w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-768x449.jpeg 768w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-1536x898.jpeg 1536w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unknown-2048x1197.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p><strong>Types of support wholesalers should stock</strong></p>
<p>Contractors expect wholesalers to carry a broad and reliable range of cable support options, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cable ties</li>
<li>Cable cleats</li>
<li>Cable clips</li>
<li>Cable tie accessories</li>
<li>Cable glands</li>
</ul>
<p>Products such as Unicrimp metal cable cleats and Unicrimp brass meter tail glands are examples of items that help installers meet compliance requirements while ensuring long‑term system integrity.</p><div id="pewho-2990939636" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">
<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0'); });
</script>
</div></div>
<p>The choice of fixing depends on:</p>
<ul>
<li>The installation surface (e.g., clips for timber, ties for basket tray)</li>
<li>The cable type (e.g., cleats for SWA cables)</li>
</ul>
<p>Wholesalers who understand these distinctions can better support their customers and strengthen their technical credibility.</p>
<p><strong>Guidance contractors rely on</strong></p>
<p>The IET On‑Site Guide (OSG) remains a key reference for installers. Appendix D provides recommended spacing for cable supports, with Table D1 detailing distances for accessible cable runs.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>A cable with a diameter up to 9 mm requires closer clip spacing</li>
<li>Larger cables can be supported at greater intervals</li>
</ul>
<p>Wholesalers who understand these guidelines can help contractors select the correct quantity and type of fixings &#8211; improving customer service and reducing returns.</p>
<p>Bending radii are also critical. Regulation 522.8.3 requires cables to be bent without placing strain on internal conductors. The OSG’s Table D5 gives examples, such as the minimum bending radius for 1.5mm² twin and earth.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-29725" src="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-300x210.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="420" srcset="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-300x210.jpg 300w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-768x538.jpg 768w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Unicrimp-Metal-Cable-Cleats-PR-no-wording-no-logos-2048x1434.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p><strong>Cable entry: a common point of failure</strong></p>
<p>Wholesalers frequently supply the accessories that prevent damage at cable entry points.</p>
<p>Two issues must be addressed:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sharp edges on metal boxes &#8211; requiring grommets or bushings</li>
<li>Strain on terminations &#8211; requiring proper support and compression glands</li>
</ol>
<p>Stocking the right glands, grommets and strain‑relief products ensures installers can meet Regulations 522.8.5 and 522.8.12.</p>
<p><strong>What this means for wholesalers</strong></p>
<p>Electrical wholesalers are a vital link in ensuring safe, compliant installations. By offering a comprehensive range of cable supports &#8211; and understanding the regulatory drivers behind them &#8211; wholesalers can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Help contractors meet BS7671 requirements</li>
<li>Reduce installation faults and call‑backs</li>
<li>Strengthen customer trust</li>
<li>Increase sales of complementary products</li>
</ul>
<p>Unicrimp’s extensive range of clips, cleats, ties and glands gives wholesalers the opportunity to supply everything a contractor needs to install cables safely and compliantly.</p>

<p>Conduit remains fundamental to effective cable management, providing protection, organisation and structured routing for electrical wiring. In today’s installations &#8211; where compliance, safety and longevity are paramount &#8211; selecting the correct conduit accessories is as important as choosing the conduit itself. Its key functions include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cable protection and safety</strong> – Conduit shields wiring from mechanical impact, moisture, chemicals and environmental hazards, reducing the risk of faults such as short circuits and preventing access to live parts.</li>
<li><strong>Organisation and maintenance efficiency</strong> – By enabling clean, structured routing, conduit helps maintain orderly installations and simplifies future inspection, maintenance and fault‑finding.</li>
<li><strong>Regulatory compliance</strong> – Correct selection and installation of conduit and associated accessories is essential for meeting relevant standards, including the IET Wiring Regulations, across all installation types.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A complete conduit accessory solution</strong></p>
<p>Developed with installers in mind, Unicrimp’s Q‑Crimp conduit accessories combine robust materials with practical design features to streamline installation and deliver long‑term reliability. With more than 90 individual products, the range ensures wholesalers can offer a comprehensive solution suitable for virtually any application.</p>

    </div></div><h3>Mike Jackson, Sales Director with Unicrimp – part of the Scolmore Group – explains why cable connections represent a key growth opportunity for electrical wholesalers.</h3>
<p>In today’s market, wholesalers play a vital role in supporting electrical contractors with the right products, expertise, and stock availability. While cables often grab the spotlight, it’s the connections that determine how safely and efficiently every system performs. Poor quality or ill-suited junction boxes and connectors can lead to system faults, costly callbacks, and reputational damage &#8211; for both contractors and suppliers.</p>
<p>That’s why it’s essential for wholesalers to offer reliable, regulation-compliant, and installer-friendly cable connection solutions. Unicrimp’s Q-Nect range has been designed with exactly this in mind, helping wholesalers meet demand across domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors with a product line that delivers performance, safety, and ease of installation.</p><div id="pewho-1988871446" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

</div>
<p><strong>Why cable connectors matter </strong></p>
<p>With installations becoming increasingly complex &#8211; from EV chargers and solar systems to smart building networks &#8211; electrical contractors are facing higher load demands and tighter project timelines. At the same time, compliance with BS 7671 and standards such as BS EN 60670-22 means connection integrity and protection are under greater scrutiny.</p>
<p>Wholesalers who can stock and recommend compliant, high-quality junction boxes and connectors are not only supporting their customers’ technical needs but also reinforcing trust and loyalty. This creates upselling opportunities and positions the wholesaler as a go-to resource for problem-solving and product expertise.</p>
<p>Unicrimp’s Q-Nect series is built to simplify installations while ensuring long-term reliability. Each product is engineered for speed, safety, and compliance, helping installers save time and effort &#8211; and giving wholesalers a trusted range that delivers repeat business.</p>
<p>The Q-Nect IP Weatherproof Junction Box offers a range of features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fast installation: Designed to house four 3-Port Lever Connectors, with a 360° detachable cradle for easy access.</li>
<li>Superior protection: IP66-rated with self-sealing membranes to safeguard against dust, dirt, and water.</li>
<li>Flexible entry options: Ten membrane entry points and up to eight M20 gland fittings without tools.</li>
<li>Quick fixing: Wall-mount directly or use a detachable clip system.</li>
<li>Smart aesthetics: Available in black and anthracite grey to match the Click Aquip66 range – ideal for coordinated outdoor installations.</li>
</ul>

<p>The semi-transparent lid option allows quick visual inspection without removing the cover – a small detail that saves installers valuable time and reduces risk.</p><div id="pewho-2990939636" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

<p>When space is at a premium, the compact 85mm x 55mm x 52mm version offers all the protection and ease of use of its larger counterpart, with four, pre-fitted three way lever connectors and eight membrane entries. It’s perfect for confined spaces or retrofit environments &#8211; another key line for wholesalers serving domestic and light commercial installers. It can be fixed directly to a wall using four screws into the pre-moulded holes in the base.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>IP connection boxes (2 &amp; 3 way)</strong></p>
<p>The range includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 Pole 2 Way 24A IP68 Inline Box</li>
<li>4 Pole 3 Way 24A IP68 (M16+M20) Box</li>
<li>3 Pole 2 Way 16A IP66 Box</li>
</ul>
<p>The IP68 boxes feature pre-fitted nylon glands for watertight sealing, strain relief, and cable protection. A hinged lid allows easy access, and fixing points simplify installation. Rated IP68, they resist dust, dirt, and submersion up to 1m for 60 minutes. The compact IP66 box also withstands high pressure water jets.</p>

<p><strong>5 pole, 3 way IP68 ‘T’ &amp; inline connectors</strong></p>
<p>Built from durable nylon for tough environments, these connectors secure cables in all conditions. With 5 pole terminals, they support varied wiring setups. The ‘T’ connector allows an inline switch or extra powered output while maintaining IP68 protection. The Inline Connector offers a quick, weatherproof solution for extending or repairing outdoor cables.</p>
<p><strong>2, 3 &amp; 5 way lever connectors</strong></p>
<p>Designed for solid, stranded, or flexible cables, these screwless, spring-clamp connectors need no tools. An inspection window enables quick testing, while transparent housing ensures correct wire positioning. Reusable and supporting 0.2–4mm conductors, they’re ideal for temporary or mobile installs.</p>
<p>The housing on all Unicrimp Q-NECT lever connectors are transparent which means that installers can easily see if the wires inside are positioned correctly to ensure the best possible connection.</p>
<p><strong>Adding value </strong></p>
<p>As electrical systems evolve, the role of cable connections becomes even more critical &#8211; and for wholesalers, that means opportunity. Stocking trusted, innovative ranges like Unicrimp Q-Nect helps you serve your customers better, simplify their purchasing decisions, and secure repeat business through reliability and performance.</p>
<p>In the race toward smarter, safer, and more sustainable installations, Unicrimp’s Q-Nect range offers wholesalers a proven way to add value, boost sales, and stay ahead in a competitive market.</p>
