Projects: Bloor Homes Batson High View Salcombe

Published on 18th February 2020

Bloor Homes’ new development, close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, proved an issue regarding the arrangement of deliveries, but working with site management, Bracknell Contracts Management was able to programme this to ensure the minimum of disruption to the build.

Set in an area of outstanding beauty meant that Bloor Homes were very careful in their choice of materials used on the development.  We at Bracknell assisted Bloor’s through the planning process providing product knowledge and guidance on their choice of slate roof tiles – Brazilian Grey/Green 500x250mm for main roofing and vertical tiling along with a larger 600x300mm for the low pitched roofs for certain plots ensuring that they maintain the required head and side laps.

This bespoke development of 44 properties provided Bracknell with an opportunity to showcase our site labour skills in slating and working on the dormer roofs, completing these with leadwork.  One further property is designed with a concave and convex curved roof, again enabling our tilers to show their specialist skills in achieving a beautiful finish to this development.
