An Aladdin’s Cave of building products

Founded nearly 200 years ago in 1832 by ropemaker John Horace Mudford, who pioneered handspun hemp, the company has a rich history. In 2018, Mudfords became part of the Stuart Canvas Group, a leading UK supplier of sports grounds and industrial covers.

As a member of the Stuart Canvas Group, Mudfords focuses on wholesale importing of textile-based products for the construction, building, and haulage sectors, as well as manufacturing bespoke covers. Now operating from new premises in Sheffield, the Yorkshirebased team benefits from expanded warehouse storage facilities for its comprehensive product range. Known for its exceptional customer service, Mudfords fosters long-term relationships and consistently delivers premium products.

Mudfords is a well trusted leader in the industry and offers an extensive range of tarpaulins, hessian and jute sheets, nets, straps and slings, ropes, cords and sandbags. These products have versatile uses that are particularly useful during the winter months when the weather can be very unpredictable.

Mudfords pallet covers are ideal for use in winter by because they are designed to provide insulation and robust protection from environmental elements, dust and debris. They also ensure the stabilisation of the pallets, and are a great investment to enhance the integrity, safety, and organisation of materials, making them a practical choice for any construction or transport operation.

Mudfords pallet covers are typically made from durable, waterproof materials that protect pallets and their contents from rain, snow, and ice, which are common during winter months. As well as being reusable and ideal for multiple uses, they are made from durable 140gsm lightweight PE material. Each cover comes complete with metal eyelets on all corners, hemmed bottoms, sealed seams, and are available in three different sizes: Small – 1,000(W) x 1,200(L) x 500(H) mm, Medium – 1,000(W) x 1,200(L) x 1,000(H) mm, and X Large –1,000(W) x 1,200(L) x 2,000(H) mm.

Another excellent choice for construction companies during the winter are heavy-duty tarpaulins. Their durable, versatile, and have protective qualities for wind, rain and UV. They can also retain heat when used to enclose workspaces, reducing heat loss and keeping the area warmer for workers and temperaturesensitive materials.

They are also great for security purposes, as they can obscure valuable equipment and materials from view, reducing the risk of theft or vandalism.

"Perfect for covering a small boat, extremely thick and will be long lasting."

Some areas of the UK have been hit hard with high levels of flooding due to excessive rain fall over the last few months. A great way to combat any potential flooding is to use sandbags. Mudfords has three varieties to choose from: Hessain; Polypropylene; and Rotproof.

Polypropylene are a cheaper choice and more catered towards light-weight use and equipped with anti-rotting protection for durability. However, Rotproof hessian sandbags are a better option for some merchants as the water intake is very minimal. They are traditionally used to assist in the prevention of flooding, and can be used with tarpaulins to help waterproof and seal sandbag barriers.

Debris Netting is an eco-friendly solution for controlling dust and debris, ideal for construction and scaffolding. It minimises pollution, maintains a cleaner work environment, and provides protection against wind, rain, and weather. Available in various colours for site visibility, each 50m roll comes in 2m or 3m widths, with durable polyethylene material and eyelets for easy installation. What’s more, its compact packaging also reduces environmental impact during shipping.
