Quality Assurance

From our early beginnings Building Adhesives has been dedicated to quality and performance, committed to going above and beyond the required standards.

Quality and Performance

Having been set up specifically to produce high technology products with comprehensive technical advice – we have been and remain a key player within standards bodies BS 5385, EN 12004 and more which have all benefitted from our input.

The development, manufacture and supply of high performance products is our primary objective, and as such the quality of our products are only considered satisfactory when they are produced from approved materials, conform to the required formulations, are produced in accordance with the approved manufacturing process and they have been passed as fit for purpose.

Every single batch produced by the company is rigorously tested by our Quality Assurance team, and if it doesn’t meet our high standards it will not be released.

Our Quality Assurance measures mean that our failure rate is less than one-hundredth of a percent of the total manufacturing output, and of those, 100% have been proven to be installation error.

We stand by our quality control procedures, which is why every BAL product comes with a 25-year guarantee.
