FREEFOAM BUILDING PRODUCTS LAUNCH NEW VIDEO TO SHOWCASE PILKINGTON PLASTICS

Based in Horsham , West Sussex , Pilkington Plastics specialise in the supply and fitting of fascia , soffit , cladding , windows and doors . Installation is a busy and growing part of the business and the new video features a recent project on a large four
bedroom home with Black Ash fascia and Black guttering . The original white wood roofline had been on the property since it was first built about 20 years ago and needing replacing and the homeowner wanted a finish that complemented the design and style of the property .
Pilkington Plastics are a relatively recent Freefoam customer who started trading in 2017 set up by long- time friends Paul Le Grange and James Etherington . They are a typical example of a Freefoam customer who has started small and , with dedication and hardwork by the team , alongside Freefoam ’ s support , have developed into an established , well respected local business .
James commented “ We offer clients a full roof and roofline service , replacing tiles as well as fascia , soffit and gutter . From my experience Freefoam is the best roofline range on the market . They offer a wide range of colours and finishes , and they all come with strong guarantees – 50 years on white
products and up to 10 years on colours . We ’ re also Freefoam Registered Installers , which again helps us grow our business . We receive free leads from Freefoam on a regular basis and plenty of marketing materials which help us to promote the products . This homeowner is very pleased with the installation and we ’ re now pricing up a relatives property in the same development .”
Prior to starting the business Paul had been involved with selling UPVC for 20 years plus , and during that time had always worked with Freefoam . James had also been fitting Freefoam for many years , so their joint experience gave them the skills needed to run the own business . Paul explained
: “ I think people choose Pilkington Plastics because of our knowledge of products . Having a good understanding of our products and services helps to improve the confidence of our customers .”
Pilkington Plastics has changed and developed a lot already in the last four years . It took two years to get established , but is now continuing to go from strength to strength . Paul summarised : “ I do feel that Freefoam want to help my business to grow and find the support we get from Kim , our area sales manager , really useful . We like the products and have built up a strong partnership , so we don ’ t see why there wouldn ’ t be a positive future for Pilkington Plastics and Freefoam .”
