Ageing infrastructure
We don’t want a future where neglected infrastructure risks people’s lives.
Build-Aid
Long-standing structures are in constant need of repair, and could topple at any time. Build-Aid is the affordable answer to all your corrosion woes. A two-metre-long adhesive strip designed to hold fast, it’s available in packs of 10. Apply Build-Aid to any crumbling structure and watch it retain its integrity, at least temporarily.
