FAQs

UK construction-site safety guidance (HSE / CDM Regulations) recommends 110V centre-tapped tools and lighting for ground-contact and damp-environment site work — at 110V centre-tapped, voltage to ground is 55V, materially reducing the shock hazard of accidental contact with damaged cables or tools. Site transformers step the 230V mains supply down to the safer 110V. Most major contractors and tool-hire companies operate 110V kit on-site for this reason; using 230V tools on a CDM-managed site typically requires written approval.

Match the transformer's continuous output (in kVA) to the connected tool's running load, allowing for start-up surge (typically 2-4× running for motor-start tools). For a single 1.5 kW power tool, a 3.3 kVA transformer covers running and start-up reliably. Multiple tools on the same transformer: sum the running loads plus the largest single start-up surge. Site transformers commonly run 1.5, 3.3, 5, 7.5 and 10 kVA — the kVA rating is listed on product pages.

Concrete mixers (the rotating-drum machines) are sized for full-batch mixing — typical site sizes 90-180 litres, batch capacities 60-120 kg of mixed mortar or concrete. Used for blockwork, slab work, and any volume mixing job. Paddle mixers (single or twin-paddle in a free-standing bucket) are sized for smaller volumes — adhesive, plaster, render, screed mixes — typically 60-120 litres. Site mixers are wheeled for moving around site; bench-and-stand paddle mixers are more compact. Choose by the dominant mix type and volume.

Yes. Site-rated power tools, lighting, and accessories sold by the major UK trade brands carry the HSE-relevant certifications — PAT-test labels, vibration declarations on hand-power tools (in m/s²), IP ratings for outdoor and washdown use, and the appropriate CE/UKCA conformity marks. For specific high-risk applications (silica-dust drilling, cut-off saw work, vibration-exposure work), check the product page for the relevant certification — most site-rated tools list the specific compliance documentation.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you.

For buyer's remorse — you've changed your mind or ordered the wrong item, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number; a restocking fee may apply. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and 'Check where we deliver' confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

Construction & Groundworks

Construction & Groundworks covers the workshop and site equipment used in building, civil engineering, and groundworks operations — site-power equipment, ground-working and structural tools, hand tools and power tools used in concrete, masonry, and earthworks, and the supporting safety and lighting equipment used on construction and civil-engineering sites. Within Construction & Groundworks you will find Ground Working and Structural Tools (the highest-volume sub-section, covering site transformers for 110V tool operation, site lights and floodlights, masonry tools, concrete mixers, and the broader range of ground-and-structural site equipment), site-safety equipment, and the consumables used in site work. Parts For Machines supplies construction and groundworks equipment across the trade range. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP, Sealey, and Draper across the construction and groundworks equipment line. SIP leads on site transformers and site lighting; Sealey covers the broadest range of construction hand tools, site tools, and site-safety equipment; Draper extends the range with hand tools, masonry tools, and concrete-working equipment at competitive trade pricing. Product pages list the application (the construction operation the equipment supports), power source (mains 230V, site 110V, battery, or pneumatic), rated capacity (output in kVA for transformers, lumen output for site lights, mixing-drum capacity for concrete mixers), dimensions, and where applicable any HSE-required certification (PAT-test, electrical inspection, vibration declaration on hand-power tools). For UK construction-site work, 110V centre-tapped tools and lighting are the HSE-recommended standard — the corresponding 110V site transformers (typical sizes 1.5 kVA, 3.3 kVA, 5 kVA) step the 230V mains down to the safer 110V supply. The transformer must be sized to the connected tool's running and start-up loads. Trade pricing on multi-tool and site fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
