Maintenance & Refurbishment


Look at the roof to achieve cost effective decent homes compliance


L


atest statistics reveal that at least 20 per cent of homes (4.5 million) are still below Decent Homes standards.


In the drive to improve the insulation and


energy efficiency, contractors working on behalf of social housing providers have to balance Building Regulations compliance with budgetary constraints. Roof ventilation solutions from Hambleside


Danelaw are proven in practice to provide a cost-effective solution towards achieving appropriate upgrading of homes, delivering compliance with Approved Document C2 and


British Standards such as BS 5534:2014+A1:2015 Slating and tiling for pitched roofs and vertical cladding – Code of Practice. Equally suitable for new build, the range can be


installed quickly and efficiently across the roof- be it underneath the roof covering via a vapour permeable low resistance underlay, or as an integral part of the roof covering at eaves, ridge, valleys and inbetween. The products can be used in refurbishment and upgrade projects, minimising disruption for the occupants. Hambleside Danelaw has purpose-designed


its products to be as simple as possible to fix, whether mortared or dry fix. Graham Roofing is just one contractor for


whom Hambleside Danelaw has become a preferred choice, after first using for a Dundee Council housing refurbishment project. That first contract featured the use of 400 HD TV15/1 tile vents. Project manager Alistair Tirns observed, “We are very pleased with the ease of use of the product.” Norfolk-based Breckland Roofing reinforced


the ease of use, following inclusion of Danelaw Dry Fix Valley Troughs, Universal Dry Fix Ridge and Hip System and Interlocking Dry Verge on a new build housing association project. Site Contracts Manager David said, “We can give Danelaw products to the roof tilers and know


they will fit without problems.” Hambleside Danelaw is one of the UK’s leading


manufacturers of roofing ventilation solutions. Its in-house R&D and manufacturing capability gives the flexibility and speed to react to the continual design, technical, Regulatory and environmental changes within the building industry. Thus it continually brings to market products that are fully compliant, efficient to install, and meet performance criteria and expectations.

Celebrating 25 years of excellence


Simpson Strong-Tie is celebrating 25 years in the UK. Simpson launched its European operations from well-established beginnings in America, where founder Barclay Simpson created his first joist hanger back in 1956. In 1998 a purpose- built manufacturing facility and head office opened in Tamworth, and subsequent acquisitions in the UK, Germany, France and Denmark have established Simpson as a European industry leader. In 2009 Simpsons’ UKAS accredited European Testing Laboratory opened, which now conducts over 10,000 product tests annually. Managing Director Malcolm Paulson says, “In my 14 years in role, I’ve seen the business grow and flourish. Our range has extended to include engineered structural connectors, fasteners and fastening systems, lateral-force resisting systems and bespoke one-off products. The exciting thing is that recent European acquisitions in the concrete repair market can only help us grow even further, bringing the quality and service for which we’re known into new markets. In 25 years we’ve grown to over 600 employees with a presence in most European countries, helping make Simpson Strong-Tie the business it is today.”
