Protection Materials – Keep Your Build Clean, Safe & On-Schedule
Why bother with protection?
Replacing scratched doors, stained carpets or frost-blown brickwork costs far more than a roll of sheeting. Spechunter’s range stops damage before it starts, helping you hand over snag-free and on time.
Order before 12:00 and spend £200 ex-VAT for free next-working-day delivery. Questions? Call 0118 922 7941 – we’ve protected builds for 35 years.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pour self-leveller over heavy-duty TPS?
No – TPS is a temporary barrier. For wet trades use sacrificial hardboard or Flooshield HD.
Does hessian need watering?
Yes – lightly damp in frost conditions; it slows the hydration freeze not stops it.
Is the carpet film suitable on vinyl?
Use only on textile carpets; vinyl and timber need low-tack paper such as Flooshield.
