Founded in the 1980s, HERMEQ supplies construction and site safety products, including scaffolding, groundworks equipment, temporary fencing, barriers, and building supplies, serving contractors and customers across international markets.
HERMEQ Hire & Sales offers Adjustable Steel Props for temporary structural support in construction and refurbishment work. Available in five sizes, from Size 0 to Size 4, the props cover heights from approximately 1.0 to 4.9 metres. They are made from high-grade steel and feature a threaded friction-welded design for strength and easier adjustment on site. The props can be used to support walls, ceilings, floors, beams, and formwork, making them suitable for both large commercial developments and smaller domestic projects. They are also listed for refurbishment and demolition work, including wall bracing and load support. The props can be used with HERMEQ’s Strong Boys for additional temporary structural support when installing RSJs or Padstones.

HERMEQ Hire & Sales offers Adjustable Push-Pull Props for temporary bracing and alignment work where full load-bearing support is not required. Available in Sizes 0 to 4, they use a threaded collar for fine height adjustment and a push-pull design that helps position and secure walls, panels, and formwork. The props are made from high-strength steel and are designed to be moved and adjusted by a single worker. They are suitable for concrete formwork, precast wall panels, tilt-up panels, back propping, interior fit-outs, demolition bracing, and remedial wall work. HERMEQ states that these props are intended for low- to medium-load applications and should not be used as primary high-load vertical or horizontal supports. They are therefore suited to projects where temporary positioning and bracing are needed during construction, installation, or repair work.

Commercial customers can purchase or hire HERMEQ adjustable steel props, with nationwide delivery available for both options. The range includes Sizes 0 to 4, while product specifications and safe working load tables allow project teams to check the required height range and loading conditions before ordering.
HERMEQ also supplies related temporary-support equipment, including push-pull props for angled formwork or falsework support and PropMate lintel supports for use with Acrow props. Customers can contact the sales team by phone, email, or live chat to discuss product selection, availability, delivery, and hire requirements.
For projects that also require on-site installation, customers should ask whether HERMEQ On-Site can cover the relevant scope. HERMEQ describes this division as a managed installation service operating across the UK, but its published information does not specifically confirm the installation of Acrow props.
HERMEQ also supplies products to smaller customers, including those working on domestic construction and renovation projects. Customers can select from the delivery options available for their order and location when purchasing through the website. The company’s product range includes items used for building, temporary support, fencing, and other site work. However, the more specialised services, such as steel processing offered by HERMEQ On-Site, are presented primarily in connection with construction and commercial requirements. The website does not provide separate DIY-focused technical support or installation services, so individual customers should check the available delivery and product options when placing an order.
