Dry Fix Valleys ‘best’ for complex job at care home

A high quality roofing solutions company has chosen Hambleside Danelaw’s Dry Fix mortarless GRP Valley Trough for a complicated roof on a Buckinghamshire care home.

Malone Roofing went for the sustainable and quality solution offered by the British roofing products manufacturer when working in partnership with Castleoak on Lent Rise House, a new 60-bed care home in Burnham that forms part of Buckinghamshire County Council’s major Project Care reprovisioning programme.

Alan Stagg, contract manager at Malone Roofing, said:

“The new care home has a complicated roof by industry standards so we needed roofing and ventilation products that were ideal for a complex job. We have used Hambleside Danelaw’s Dry Fix valley troughs before and the GRP material is the best for this type of work, especially as it offers a high performance and mortarless solution.”

Hambleside Danelaw’s Dry Fix mortarless GRP Valley Trough creates close-cut appearance on new build and refurbishment. Available in standard lead grey colour, the unique product cuts fixing time by up to 50%.

GRP valley troughs provide the following advantages over lead products:

• up to half the cost of traditional lead installation
• semi-skilled fitting procedure
• pre-formed profiles are light in weight and easy to handle
• 30 year guarantee
• BBA approved, complies with NFRC technical Bulletin 28
• does not streak or stain slates or tiles
• can be safely used with other products to recycle rainwater
• no value to the thief.

Hambleside Danelaw is the UK market leader for GRP flashing products, which includes the Dry Fix (mortarless) brand and Stormforce 225 mortar fix GRP flashings for roof and wall applications. Other products include GRP Dry Verges, Dry Soakers, Dry Fix Bonding Gutters and RollOut Ridge and Hip Systems. Full technical support is provided.
