A condition of the sale was that Norcros was excluded from the U.K tile adhesive market for a period of 3 years. That exclusion expired at the end of 2004 and over the course of the past 18 months myself and a group of my former colleagues have returned to Norcros and established a new tile adhesive company. Between us we have many years experience in the tile adhesives business.
We commenced trading in August last year and I am pleased to say that business is good, our products being used on projects such as several Ferrari Garages in the U.K, Catterick Garrison, Colchester Barracks & Dubai International airport.
We are currently trading under 2 brands, namely Norcros and Johnson Professional.

Is it true that it's not manufactured in the UK? |

Website (currently under construction): Norcros Adhesives | Hi Mandy,
sorry about this, please don't take this personally, but I had the displeasure recently of using some Norcross tub adhesive recently - blue lid. It was probably the worst adhesive I have ever used. A large majority of it fell off the wall as I was trowelling it on. The adhesive was customer suppiled. Never again. | | |

Website (currently under construction): www.norcros-adhesives.com | our local tile shop is now stocking your adhesive which is a shame as they are not trade friendly so you wont get the tilers in my area using it ,only domestic retail customers who dont mind paying high prices.if you want tilers using it then you need to price it right and get it in to higher volume trade outlets .once tilers get familar with your brand they will stick with it , i have just dropped dunlop as the other tile shop i used started going stupid with their prices | | |

| Re: H&R Johnsons Adhesives tile adhesives for the trade | |
I used Norcross adhesives lately on my hotel job,they supplied all the materials bar the tiles,
great floor adhesive but the wall was so bloody hard to use,falling off the wall etc,had to just paste the back of the tiles but when set there was no budging!! lovely grout to use and the tanking kits were top notch too.
Handy tubs,lol. |
