In December, we reported that we had begun three new schemes for Wrexham County Borough Council, one of which was a re-roofing project at Tegid. It involved roof repairs to a total of 29 properties – a mix of flats and houses – and was valued at £232,000.
Work on site came to a successful conclusion on 21st February 2020.
The scheme entailed not only re-roofing the main buildings but a host of associated works including:
SBS is approaching the end of another successful scheme; this one for Stoke-on-Trent City Council. The work began in summer 2019 and came via Lot 3 of the council's General Building Works contract.
The scheme featured works on a variety of different property types on the Weston Coyney Estate, including four blocks of flats, 2- and 3-bedroomed semi-detached houses, and 1- and 2-bedroomed bungalows. The improvements varied by property but included:
In recent years, SBS has carried out numerous works for Wrexham County Borough Council, the most recent of which has been the newly completed re-roofing and external insulation scheme at Plas Madoc.
However, SBS staff have remained on site because, as the last scheme was finishing, so we received confirmation that we had won additional new contracts in the same area and for the same client.
In mid 2016, SBS won a place on Denbighshire County Council's 'External Major Repairs' framework and began its first project under phase 1. Now, at the tail-end of 2019, SBS is building on that relationship as the framework moves into a third phase.
In 2018, SBS began a £920,000 scheme for The Vale of Glamorgan Council, which involved re-roofing and fitting solid wall insulation to 76 occupied properties. The scheme is now nearing completion, with many local families already enjoying warmer homes and lower heating bills.
Located within 14 residential blocks in Barry, South Wales, the properties have been fitted with a BBA-certified external wall insulation system manufactured by the British manufacturer Soltherm. It comprises EPS insulation and an acrylic render.
SBS recently commissioned an aerial photographic / video shoot of its insulation and re-roofing work at Plas Madoc in Wrexham. The results are now back and we're showing some of the results here.
As we reported in a previous post, the £2.1M scheme involves 220 occupied properties. Phase 2 began in September 2018 and is scheduled to continue until February 2020. The work is being carried out as part of Wrexham County Borough Council's Re-roofing and Group Repairs Framework.
