Recently, here at the Gunite Group we have noticed how the Green Deal framework has increased the amount of EWI installers we are working with. In our experience, this is because when EWI installers are pricing a job they often discover there is more to it than just external wall insulation. This is where we have been able to help. By working closely together we have enabled them to offer the full refurbishment package to main contractors and clients by providing any concrete and masonry repair services that are required to complete the job.
Having approved contractor status, not only for Helifix, but for all the major concrete repair material manufacturers in the UK is an important factor as it provides them with peace of mind, giving them the freedom to concentrate on their own specialist area.
Another important factor is extensive experience in social housing projects. These projects often come with their own unique set of challenges such as tenants in situ, which adds an extra dimension to the work being carried out. Extra precautions have to be taken to ensure the safety of all tenants and work schedules are planned around them as far as possible to ensure access to their homes at all times. Throughout this whole process it is vital to work closely with main contractors such as Keepmoat, Wates, Carillion and Mears to ensure that client requirements are also being met.
Our experience in all of these areas has meant that we are well positioned to offer assistance in many of these situations.
