Roof System Ensures Consistent Quality for South East Development

ROOF TILE manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has strengthened a new Bloor Homes development with its complete roof system.

The manufacturer has provided the private housing project with the desired rural roof look whilst meeting the developers’ necessary sustainable credentials to enable them to provide energy-efficient homes.

Located in the village of Ash Green near Guildford, the scheme, called The Paddocks, due to be complete by 2026, will provide 93 one to five bed properties. Blending a rural feel with modern convenience, it will offer an in-demand selection of diverse, open-plan homes for families and first-time buyers.

Roof System Ensures Consistent Quality

Russell Roof Tiles has provided Bloor Homes with its comprehensive roof system, which includes concrete roof tiles, dry fix system, ventilation products, fixings and, for this project, the RussFast Low-Resistance (LR) Underlay. For The Paddocks development, the manufacturer’s Lothian 145 tiles in Autumn Stone, Burnt Orange and Slate Grey were specified to provide the appearance of small format tiles.

Michael Palmer, Area Sales Manager at Russell Roof Tiles, said: “Russell Roof Tiles is proud to be continuing to support Bloor Homes with big projects across the south. We worked closely with the developer to assess their needs and agreed that our comprehensive roof solution would be the ideal approach. By specifying our complete roof system, Bloor Homes can trust that the roofs at The Paddocks will be built with consistently high-quality products, all backed by our 15-year guarantee.”

Sustainable Focus

The new Bloor Homes scheme has a sustainable focus, which extends to the use of high-performance materials to help reduce overall carbon footprint and enable homes to ‘grow’ with their natural surroundings.

Concrete roof tiles, such as those provided by Russell Roof Tiles, are known for their energy-efficient manufacturing process, which helps to reduce the overall environmental impact of the construction process. Typically, they require less energy for production than their clay counterparts, amounting to a 30 per cent reduction in energy usage.

John Lofthouse, Commercial Director at Bloor Homes Southern comments: “Over the years, we’ve partnered with Russell Roof Tiles on several projects, and their ability to deliver tailored solutions has always stood out. Their team is responsive and easy to work with, quickly understanding our needs and streamlining the specification process.”

Russell Roof Tiles has previously supported Bloor Homes on a number of developments. Last year the manufacturer provided its Lothian tiles in Cottage Red for the first phase of a multimillion-pound Berewood ‘garden city’ scheme in Hampshire, which over the next 10-15 years will be built to provide 2,550 homes and a range of amenities. For the 11-acre site Bloor Homes required a high-quality tile that matched the rural look of the community while keeping to budget.
