Frequently asked questions
What can I order from the Site Essentials range?
CMT Group supplies daily-use site essentials for setting up, organising and replenishing active construction sites. The range includes cable ties and tags, tapes and adhesives, road pins, fence pins, setting out pegs, sand and tonne bags, strapping, ratchet and lifting straps, shrink wrap, drainage equipment, hoses, office supplies, cleaning stations, test kits, tanks, containers, carts and trolleys.
Use the product ranges below to reach the right section quickly, then narrow the results by type, size, capacity and delivery requirement where relevant. For account enquiries or volume supply, speak to our team.
Which range should I start with when setting up a site?
Start with the site phase. For initial setup, Cable Ties and Tags, Tapes and Adhesives, Fence and Road Pins and Cleaning Station are often ordered early. For materials handling and deliveries, Ratchet and Lifting Straps, Strapping and Sand and Tonne Bags support early site activity. For site water and drainage, Hoses and Accessories, Drainage Equipment and Tanks and Containers are useful from the outset. Office Essentials and Stationery supports administration and documentation from day one.
Once you open the relevant range, use the available filters to narrow the results by product type, size, quantity and delivery requirement.
What should I check before ordering cable ties, tapes or strapping?
For cable ties, check the length, tensile strength and whether UV-resistant black grade is needed for outdoor use. Confirm the quantity, as cable ties are often reordered frequently on active sites. For tapes, check the tape type, width, length and whether the adhesive grade suits the surface in use. Warning tape and hazard tape are useful for temporary marking and general site identification, while gaffa tape suits general site fastening and sealing tasks.
For strapping, check whether polypropylene or steel banding is needed, along with roll length, tensile strength and whether tensioning tools and seals are required. Confirm suitability with the product data before ordering.
What should I check before ordering road pins, fence pins or setting out pegs?
For road pins and fence pins, check the pin diameter, length and ground type on site, and confirm the pin matches the temporary fencing panels or mesh netting being used. For setting out pegs, check the peg material (timber or plastic), length and ground conditions, including how long the pegs need to remain in position before removal.
Confirm quantity before ordering, as setting out and fencing operations often require more pins and pegs than the initial estimate. Where the requirement is for traffic management products such as barriers, cones or signage, use the Traffic, Fencing, Barriers and Signage range.
What should I check before ordering tanks, containers, hoses or drainage products?
For tanks and containers, check the container type (water, fuel or general storage), capacity and whether the material is compatible with the liquid being stored as stated in the product data. For hoses, check the hose length, diameter and fitting type, and confirm connections are compatible with the standpipe, tap or equipment in use on site.
For drainage products, check the drain guard type, the drainage point size and whether the product covers the ground area around the drainage point adequately. Confirm the product data supports the intended use before ordering. For larger requirements, speak to our team to check stock and lead times.
Which site essentials are suitable for repeat replenishment orders?
Cable ties, tapes and adhesives, strapping and sand bags are typically high-consumption items on active construction sites and suit a regular replenishment schedule. Office Essentials and Stationery, Shrink Wrap and Drainage Equipment are also commonly reordered as sites progress through phases.
