Norton Thurlton & Thorpe Village Hall.

This had a hexagonal pyramid felt roof, which for sometime, local youths had enjoyed scaling the heights. Inevitably, the time came for the roof to be renewed and the Committee Members invited Faber Roofing to propose a system that would be aesthetically pleasing, outlive felt and perhaps deter the adventurous youth. The recommendation was to use Decra lightweight metal tiles which met all of the criteria:- a life expectancy in excess of 40 years, a pleasing terracotta stone granular finish to enhance the appearance and subdue youthful enthusiasm. Grant monies and fund raising events lead to the successful completion of the contract in 2003.

The Beccles and District Museum re-roof Contract in 2000 provides an excellent example of a quality scaffold to ensure the safety of our workforce and the protection of people and property at ground level, no matter how complex the project.

The Company decided some years ago to form its own "in-house" scaffold division servicing only its own Contracts. Considerable investment in both plant and people continues in order to maintain the established high standards.
