REVAMPed ROOFLINE &
RAINWATER PRODUCTS
Roofline and rainwater products from Swish Building
Products have been specified by Broadacres Housing
Association for installation on over 350 homes.
Black half-round gutters
and round downpipes
are being supplied
alongside white fascias
and soffits through
local stockist, Quay
Plastics to contractor
and installer, Newlife
Windows.
This is the first time
that the low maintenance
building product manufacturer will be supplying
the North Yorkshire-based
housing association with
components from its sus-
tainable rainwater range.
Broadacres wished to align
the rainwater system with
the roofline supplier; the
Swish products proved
to be the best value, high
quality option. The housing
association conducts value
for money reviews on its
technical specifications prior
to tendering for all planned
maintenance projects.
“Historically these roofline
and rainwater components
have been on a 30 year replacement programme, how-
ever, this may be reviewed
going forward due to the
increased life expectancy of
new generation PVCu products,” comments Ian Pollitt,
quantity surveyor for Broadacres Housing Association.
“We also pick up prospective replacement jobs following stock condition surveys
carried out by our Technical Services team. In most
instances, the new roofline
and rainwater systems are
replacing existing PVC
products but on this year’s
replacement programme
there are 13 properties with
timber fascias.”
Forming part of an annual
replacement programme,
191 properties were completed under phase one; a
further 161 will be upgraded
during phase two which
began in October and will
continue into the New
Year. Fascias and soffits are
replaced on all elevations of
the properties while rainwater goods are only replaced
if required.
Solar technology for
conservatories
Sealant Classics
Gets A Make Over
SiestaT is the all-round solution
for conservatories, offering total

whole conservatory providing a higher aesthetic appeal to the finished
conservatory.
The Geocel Trade Mate
range contains some
of the most popular
and best trusted sealants for today’s professional tradesmen. Now
the range has been
given a makeover, with
new packaging that
makes it easy to chose
the right product for
the job every time.
The double glazed sealed unit provides
outstanding performance:

Cornwall Glass recognised the demand for
a neutral, all over tinted glass that provides
total soar control throughout the conservatory. The strength of the heat from the sun
that penetrates the sides of the conservatory
proved the importance for all over protection to create an idyllic and comfortable
sun room. The neutral tint of the glass also
compliments existing buildings and surroundings.
SiestaT is now available across the Cornwall Glass Group from all 15 glass centres
situated throughout the South West. Please
contact our sales to find out more about the
sealed units or to request a sample.
Geocel has formulated
the Trade Mate’s range of
sealants and adhesives specifically for the professional
tradesman with a product
for almost any roofing, decorating, glazing or plumbing application.
The range has been
updated with smart new
packaging and point of sale
material, to make selection
easier. Clear symbols make
it easy to spot which products can be used where
and the new packaging
illustrates each product’s
key properties; overpaintability, permanent flexibility,
and acoustic rating for
instance.
Since its launch in the
1980s, the Trade Mate
range has become the most
comprehensive on the
market; the perfect products for the professional
tradesmen to keep in the
back of the van.
Each of the sixteen sealants, adhesives and sundries in the Geocel Trade
Mate range are designed
for a specific purpose making them the reliable and
a trouble-free choice for
tradesmen everywhere.

chemicals for the modern
building professional.
