Technical Support

At Wade Building Supplies, we don’t just deliver materials—we deliver confidence. Our technical support service for lintels, windposts, and masonry support systems is designed to assist contractors, developers, and engineers at every stage of their project.

From take-off to installation, our expert team provides tailored advice, specification assistance, and supply solutions that remove risk and streamline buildability on site.


Why Builders Trust Wade

Structural elements like lintels, windposts, and masonry supports demand more than just stock availability—they require expertise. At Wade, we offer a dedicated support service that combines technical insight with practical experience:

  • Project-specific guidance on sizing, load requirements, and installation

  • Help with drawings and take-offs to ensure accurate ordering and compliance

  • Partnership with leading manufacturers for fast turnaround and custom fabrications

  • Site-ready scheduling to match your programme and reduce delays

Whether you're working on a residential build, commercial scheme, or large-scale development, we help you get it right first time.


Lintels – Steel, Concrete & Custom Requirements

We supply a full range of galvanised steel and prestressed concrete lintels, from standard cavity wall solutions to specialist heavy-duty designs. But we don’t stop at delivery—we help you specify the right lintel for your wall type, load span, and thermal needs.

Our team can assist with:

  • Cavity wall, box and angle lintel specification

  • Thermal bridging guidance (including insulated options)

  • Custom lintel design for bespoke architectural features

  • Support for NHBC, BS 5977, and Eurocode requirements


Windposts – Engineered Stability for Structural Integrity

Windposts are critical in resisting lateral loads and ensuring wall stiffness, especially in large façade applications. We work with you and your structural engineers to supply:

  • Windposts tailored to wall heights, load paths, and fixing conditions

  • A- and H-section profiles in mild or stainless steel

  • Baseplate design and connection detailing

  • Fixing kits, EPDM isolators, and installation advice

Every solution is aligned with your structural drawings and site conditions to ensure compliance and performance.


Masonry Support – Load-Bearing Confidence

From cavity wall support systems to shelf angles and fabricated steel supports, our team provides:

  • Design support for masonry support brackets

  • Assistance with setting out and loading capacity

  • Thermally broken systems for modern building compliance

  • Coordinated scheduling with your build sequence to prevent delays

We coordinate with architects, engineers, and fabricators to offer a joined-up, accurate and fully supported solution.
