Work continues at tempo at Tile Kiln lane. The zinc roof is being laid at the moment, which will supply both an attractive finish and longevity. This is because zinc is resistant to corrosion and as such, it will not require costly maintenance. The Kebony exterior is now in place. Not only is it aesthetically appealing but it will provide a weather resistant facade. Which is environmentally friendly and sustainable (all timber is acquired from managed forests).For more information please follow the links below:
