Held at the Dynamic Earth science centre in Edinburgh on Friday 25^th October, the annual ceremony recognises and rewards outstanding standards of workmanship and safety demonstrated within the roofing industry over the previous twelve months.

In the Grange area of Edinburgh, the existing roof of St Raphael’s Care Home had been exposed to several decades of harsh Scottish weather and was in need of a facelift.  To meet the project’s tight ten week deadline, Hyflex recommended the lightweight, tough and totally waterproof Exemplar Roofing System.

With the works completed on time and on budget, Hyflex were immediately awarded a further five care homes by the same client to which work have already been successfully completed.

NFRC prides itself on the highest standards of health and safety and workmanship in roofing.  The annual awards reward and celebrate the pinnacle of the roofing industry, with some breathtaking projects – including St Raphael’s Care Home – demonstrating outstanding technical excellence and aesthetic qualities.

Albert Bruff, Briggs Amasco Group Safety Advisor commented:-

“The reason Hyflex Scotland branch was chosen was for their continued progress on how they prepare and set up their larger contracts, whilst there was close competition from the BA Hull branch and BA Manchester branch, We felt that most of Hyflex Scotland contracts last year involved being principal contractor and the time, effort and presentation of their sites were very good, and they had a couple of visits from the HSE  and no problems were found, They also maintained a very close working relationship with the client and went the extra mile to ensure the residents of the buildings they were working on were kept informed of progress and kept disruption to a minimum.  Very well done to all staff and operatives, well deserved”

Built in 1970, the city centre Bewick Court had an existing roof which has been exposed to over forty years of weathering and was in need of a facelift.  To fully waterproof the surface for client Places for People within the tight eight week deadline, the Hyflex specialist team recommended the Triflex material due to the quick curing process which was essential in certain areas of the work.

Chemical and UV resistant, the cold liquid applied reinforced waterproofing system was applied direct by rollers.  Suitable for all common roof build ups, Triflex is extremely weather resistant and is compatible with the majority of substrates.

The roof of the 65 metre high building is home to a large number of satellite dishes and communication receivers which along with the confined space under the existing plant room made the application of the Triflex system very challenging. Demonstrating a high standard of workmanship, over 554 m² of detailed work was completed on time and within the client’s agreed budget.

The new roofing system was delivered to an exceptional standard, ensuring a fully bonded totally waterproof system that will serve the building for many years to come. High-performance materials, outstanding workmanship and the expertise demonstrated by Hyflex have ensured that the new high quality roof met and exceeded the client’s demands.

Ian joins the sales team with immediate effect, leaving his position as Hyflex’s Senior Estimator. Taking with him 13 years of industry experience, Ian will help to enhance the company profile, expand its customer base and develop new and existing client relationships.

Allan Southall, Hyflex’s National Sales Manager said: “We welcome Ian Weston into the Hyflex sales team. I am sure that his previous experience with the company, and his positive approach to both the clients and the high level of service we aim to deliver, will prove to be a valuable asset to the company in the future,”

He added: “I wish Ian the very best of luck in what I am sure will be a successful career ahead of him.”

Hyflex is a part of BriggsAmasco and has been successfully involved in developing, producing and installing cold applied, liquid waterproofing and insulation systems for over 60 years.

Email in regard to Marks & Spencer Cheltenham

Dear all,

On behalf of WB Projects Ltd, could I please take this opportunity to personally thank everybody involved in the refurbishment of Marks & Spencer Cheltenham, it has been a fantastic team effort.

I would also, please ask that you pass on our thanks to all of your staff and operatives involved in the scheme.

The feed back that I have had from both the Retail and Programme teams has been very positive indeed, I am sure you would all agree that the project was very challenging at times, not least with regards to the issues surrounding the building fabric, which was uncovered by our various sub-contractors.

I do hope that Helen and her store team have finally got the kind of working environment that the have waited so long for.

Finally,

I look forward to seeing some of you at the store end of job party on the 4th of July, for the rest of you, I welcome the opportunity to work with you all again, hopefully, on another project in the near future.

Thanks again,

Tom Murphy
