Bliby Delivers
Unless you are dealing with a special project such as a listed building, building projects require materials that provide a good balance between cost, durability and ease of installation. For the listed building project, choices of materials may be restricted by other factors such as what is a traditional material for a job.
Assuming you do not face such restrictions, you will almost certainly be utilising plastic products in your building project. The areas where plastic will be most visible is in applications such as plastic guttering and plastic wall cladding. In addition to these applications, there will be a wealth of behind the scenes plastic installations such as plumbing. Internally, one of the most visual uses of plastic may be through hygienic cladding being installed in the place of tiled surfaces.
When sourcing all of your plastic goods for your project you will want to deal with a supplier that offers a broad range of products and the accompanying fittings. Dealing with a manageable supplier base means you have less orders and deliveries to chase up and you can spend less time searching for appropriate products. At Bliby Plastics, we specialise solely in plastic building products such as plastic guttering and plastic wall cladding. By specialising, we are able to provide depth to our range of materials and components rather than spreading our inventory very thinly across every imaginable type of building material.
For all of your plastic needs such as plastic guttering, Bliby can deliver across all of the UK.
Ubiquitous Plastic
Plastic guttering is one of those ubiquitous products you typically never notice. The phrase “can’t see the wood for the trees” applies in a slightly different context to its usual meaning.
There are many reasons why plastic is the material of choice for guttering. Most people would expect this is solely cost based. The truth is that cost is a substantial benefit of using plastic guttering but far more important are the physical properties of plastic which make it the best material for this use by a large margin.
One of the major benefits of plastic is it can be manufactured in large single sections that can easily be cut to size. When dealing with any type of fixture that must be waterproof, there is one simple rule in place, the fewer joins the better. To be clear, modern guttering is very easy to join and waterproof, however, as age takes its toll the first area to fail in any waterproof structure will typically be a join. There are other materials that can be manufactured in large sections but these typically will cost more and frequently be heavier than the popular plastic material.
At Bliby Plastics we specialise in a large variety of plastic products that are used both internally and externally in building projects. These products range from plastic guttering to plastic cladding and plastic sheeting in addition to many other products.
By specialising solely in plastics, we are able to offer a range of products for whatever your needs rather than a single solution.
Head And Shoulders Above
Plastic guttering is quite literally head and shoulders above you. Also, when compared to the other materials used for guttering, if popularity is anything to go by, plastic guttering is head and shoulders above the alternatives.
This popularity is heavily influenced by the significant cost benefits to using plastic materials. However, the prevalence of plastic guttering, or indeed a plethora of other plastic building materials is not solely cost driven. Plastic is truly a versatile material. The combination of flexibility, durability, light weight, UV resistance and water resistant properties that can be accommodated in a material that can be moulded to almost any design make plastic an incredibly useful material.
When fitting plastic materials such as plastic guttering, the large single pieces that can be manufactured reduce the number of joins and fittings required whilst the light weight and flexibility of the materials ensure that they are easy to handle.

We are able to supply all manner of plastic building materials such as plastic guttering, plastic cladding and fascias. There are various grades and types of materials used which offer both varying price and performance to meet varying budgets or build standards.
By supplying a broad range of plastic materials in one location with UK wide delivery, we can ensure that you limit the time you need to spend sourcing materials and arranging deliveries to site.
Plastic Is Everywhere
Some of the common properties of plastic that see it used so widely in such a broad range of settings are it’s flexibility, light weight durability and affordability.
Put simply, these properties combine to make plastic extremely versatile. This is exactly why plastic is used very extensively in building projects. Even traditional buildings will typically hide a large element of plastic material in elements such modern plumbing, drainage and plastic guttering. Other than where plastic cannot be used for either aesthetic or planning needs, plastic will almost always be the first choice of material for purposes such as drainage and plastic guttering.
The benefits of plastic are not only in how it performs in situ. Plastic is easier to place in situ in the first instance. Light flexible materials require less heavy duty fixing and less manpower to handle. Light weight materials are less likely to cause damage and flexible materials are less likely to be damaged themselves. The prevalence of plastic is not an accident. These properties offer very real benefits to customers and contractors alike.
For sourcing your plastic guttering, drainage and assorted other plastic building materials, at Bliby Plastics we have an extensive range of both components and fixings. You can ensure that your needs can be met using one reliable supplier of high quality materials.
Nationwide delivery ensures that you can maximise your time on project and away from builder’s merchants. We offer a broad choice of standard plastic products in addition to new developments such as plastic guttering with a wrought iron appearance.
Just Plastic
Plastic is widely utilised in building projects due to its great suitability for this purpose and it being very cost effective. Not all plastic products are the same though. If you are a professional tradesman, you will want to utilise high quality plastic products and you will benefit greatly from having a reliable supplier of high quality materials.
At Bliby plastics, we have spent 25 years developing our business, always with the aim to be regarded as the number one supplier. A large part of meeting this objective is specialising in plastics. We have maintained a focus that avoids us needing to be all things to all people. If you require high quality plastic guttering, plastic cladding or plastic sheets, we are the place to look to first.
In addition to all of the plastic raw materials you may be looking for, we hold extensive stock of all of the necessary fixtures and fittings that you will need to finish your projects.
Plastic guttering is available in a variety of sizes and profiles which is essential when completing repair work or fitting to maintain an existing appearance. Not all projects are complete fit outs and customers would not expect to fund an entire new set of guttering when tackling one cracked section.
Plastic cladding is available in different sections which again offer different performance characteristics and opportunities to replicate existing fittings on site.
Hygienic cladding is available in a choice of colours and designs to enable some creative flair to accompany this great performance material.
Stylish Plastic
Plastic building materials are invariably cost effective; they are light weight which means that they utilise simple fixing methods, they are generally easy to fit and they are both flexible and durable. Coupled with the fact that plastic is typically waterproof and UV resistant and it is very easy to understand why plastic is so widely used in building projects.
Plastics can also be coloured to suit or have varied finishes applied to them. These are not bespoke services unless you are buying on a scale that would facilitate such a customization but it does mean there are different finishes and colours available to suit some variations of common customer needs. One reflection of this ability to customize is in the cast iron effect plastic guttering that we at Bliby plastics sell.
Plastic cladding is a perfect example of where the design capabilities of plastic excel. Wall cladding is a very cost effective alternative to ceramic tiling. Plastic cladding offers many of the already listed practical benefits over tiling in terms of cost and ease of fitting but it also offers almost limitless capacity for designs to be applied. In real terms, the actual limitation on designs widely available is one of taste rather than practical considerations. Clearly this could all change should we see a return to the more vibrant styling of the 60’s and 70’s.
At Bliby Plastics, we offer plastic hygienic cladding in both PVC and polypropylene which offer different qualities of material in terms of impact and fire resistance.
A Broad Range
At Bliby plastics we supply an extensive range of plastic materials to the building trade. These products range from plastic guttering to plastic sheets and fascias. These can all be delivered throughout the UK.
Plastic guttering comes in different shapes and sizes and numerous component parts that we are able to provide from stock including all of the necessary fixtures and fittings. For those who wish to have a more traditional appearance to their guttering whilst retaining the benefits of plastic guttering, we offer a cast iron style plastic guttering.
Plastic cladding offers similar advantages to construction as those afforded by plastic guttering. Plastic cladding is very economical to purchase and yet it offers qualities and properties that exceed those of traditional (and more expensive) materials. These characteristics are those such as waterproofing, UV resistance, light weight, flexibility and durability.
Plastic sheeting is possibly the area that offers the broadest range of styles and end uses. Plastic guttering may offer many different components for sale but these all contribute to achieving one single function. Plastic sheeting is utilised in a far broader range of applications. Mirror acrylic sheets are ideal for large mirrors where glass would be an inappropriate or costly material to install and Correx (fluted polypropylene) sheets are used extensively in applications such as conservatories. There are many other plastic sheets available from stock such as foam PVC and polypropylene.
By specialising in plastic materials we are able to cover almost any need for construction plastic without diluting our expertise.
An Old Take On A Modern Product
Cast iron is the traditional material used for guttering the UK. It was a very good material for guttering as it is very long lasting when maintained properly. However, as time has moved on, it has been replaced by a modern successor.
These days, plastic guttering is the norm. Very few buildings will use alternatives to plastic guttering as it simply the easiest and most cost effective solution. Whereas cast iron guttering still maintains a certain appeal to achieve a classic look, it is an expensive, higher maintenance and more difficult material to install. On the other hand, plastic is the exact opposite, it is inexpensive, low maintenance and very easy to install due to its lightweight and large sections which minimize the need for joins.
For the customer who wishes to achieve the classic cast iron appearance without either the expense or maintenance of such an installation, at Bliby Plastics we offer a plastic guttering system that is moulded and textured to appear as though it is cast iron. This truly does offer a best of both worlds solution. Your plastic guttering can be fitted quickly and easy using modern techniques. Due to the lightweightness of your plastic guttering, the fixing does not need to be as heavy duty and is far more suitable for a DIY or a low cost professional installation. Once installed, the system will not require painting and maintenance should be very low key.
In conjunction with these benefits, you will achieve a classic appearance for your home.
Plastic cladding for wet places
Plastic cladding is a fantastic product that comes with many different names such as bathroom cladding, wall cladding, PVC wall panels or PVC wall cladding. These are all basically the same product.
Plastic cladding can be used on walls or ceilings and offers many great benefits. The material is ideal for use in settings such as bathrooms, shower rooms, wet rooms kitchens and occasionally ceilings above indoor swimming pools.
Some of the strengths of plastic cladding for these types of situations are the properties, as it is a hygienic material, it is light in weight and easy to install and extremely cost effective. There is a huge range of choice in design and it goes without saying the material is waterproof.
When comparing plastic cladding to the most obvious competition for its common usage (tiling), there are a number of clear benefits to using plastic cladding. There is no need for grouting. This aids a significantly quicker and cheaper installation than tiling and also facilitates much easier cleaning. Plastic cladding can be fitted to almost any wall surface and once in place, plastic cladding is much warmer to touch than tiles. Plastic cladding is extremely durable and does not rot. The product will almost certainly outlast your personal taste or desire for change in decor.
At Bliby Plastics, we offer a range of plastic cladding products that should give you sufficient choice to personalise your own wet places. With UK wide delivery available, we can deliver quickly.
Plastic All Over
In construction, the selection of building materials is typically based on a number of factors such as appearance, cost, ease of fitting and last but not least, suitability for purpose.
There are many different methods used in modern construction to fulfil a large variety of different functions. These extended needs and different ways to fulfil them means a broad range of materials are being used. In the vast majority of modern building projects, plastic is one of the most extensively utilised materials.
Plastic can clearly be identified with little effort in many buildings whereas in others it may perform almost solely background functions or in a discrete location. Such uses that plastic fulfils are those such as guttering, plastic cladding and fascias.
Plastic is utilised so extensively due to the almost unmatched variety of forms it can take. Plastic can be moulded into small intricate parts or large sheets of material in addition to anything in-between. Once this flexibility of design is coupled with its beneficial properties such as UV resistance, waterproofing, light weight and durability, it is easy to understand why plastic is perfect for functions such as plastic guttering or plumbing.
If you are undertaking a construction project, you will almost certainly be using plastic components. One of the biggest decisions you will need to make is where to source these from. We believe that at Bliby plastics, we can fulfil nearly all of you needs from plastic guttering to plastic cladding with an excellent UK wide delivery service.
