The project saw 37 two bed and three bed houses built on a plot of land that was previously home to a service station. Michael Broadhurst, Commercial Manager at MyPad commented: “We’ve worked with Russell Roof Tiles on multiple projects over the last few years. For all of these projects we really needed a high-quality, reliable and cost-effective roofing solution with a slate effect and Russell Roof Tiles were able to provide the perfect choice.” Ross Hayward, Area Sales Manager at Russell Roof Tiles added: “We are extremely proud to be maintaining our strong relationship with MyPad through these social housing projects, and continue to work in tandem with Taylor Roofing to provide these sought after roofing solutions. “Our products are specified frequently for social housing projects, and we know how important it is to find a product that provides the best balance of high quality and low cost. Our Lothian tiles create the desired slate-like appearance whilst offering the commercial benefits of concrete tiles and being a much more sustainable choice. It’s wonderful to be able to achieve these results for such important projects.” >> Read more about Russell Roof Tiles in the news Previous article Machine Learning Predicts Mechanical Properties of PolymersNext article Nominations Open for National Scaffolding Week’s Scaff Star Awards Share article You may also like View all News Industry News +1 25 September 2026 Just a Quarter of Life-Critical Fire Defects Fixed in Social Housing Since 2017 Health & Safety +2 25 September 2026 Warning Issued as ‘Deadly’ Roof Sheet Freebie Offers Put Lives at Risk Health & Safety +2 25 September 2026 Two Construction Firms Fined Following Design Change Failure Industry News +2 24 September 2026 Industry Calls for Stronger SME Support to Turn Vocational GCSEs into Careers Sign Up to Roofing Today Stay up to date with all of the latest news from Roofing Today by signing up to our weekly Bulletins… Sign Up Today Get in Touch Check out the latest issue 126 September-October 2026 View Now Past Issues Get in Touch
