Norcros Adhesives has been involved in a project to construct a new development of houses and holiday lets in the popular seaside town of Whitstable, Kent. The project consists of seven houses for private sale and eight holiday lets. All are designed according to the local style to fit in with surrounding buildings and are finished to a luxury standard, offering spectacular views across the bay towards the Isle of Sheppey. The tiling contractor was Cerface of Gillingham, while the main contractor was Westridge Construction. The tiles were supplied by Plus 39 of Rochester and Solus Ceramics. Norcros Adhesives has had a long and successful partnership with Cerface, who prefer to use Norcros Adhesive products wherever possible.
“Projects these days are challenging enough,” says Chris Clark the director of Cerface, “so to be able to use products from suppliers that you know will work makes a lot of difference.
