Whitehall News

When replacing or repairing your flat roof, make sure you don’t use a contractor who is either unaware or unprepared to meet the recently revised Part L of the Building Regulations or you could fall foul of the law, have to replace the non- compliant work and be left with a hefty bill.

It is really important to ensure that all work to your home complies with the Building Regulations as the penalties for failing to do so include substantial fines – and the responsibility ultimately rests with the person ordering the work.

Why the changes? Home energy use is responsible for 27 per cent of UK carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to climate change. The Government has introduced requirements intended to make buildings more energy efficient by reducing C02 emissions by 2010. Most of this reduction will have to come from improvements to existing homes and now includes the replacement of flat roofs under ‘Renovation of Thermal Elements’.

When work is carried out to your property, opportunities often arise for efficiency improvements at little extra cost. Which is why it makes good sense to choose a product such as RubberBond EPDM FleeceBack to replace, and not repair, your flat roof. During the replacement, Whitehall complies with the new building regulations by including the relevant upgrade to insulation levels required by the Government and makes all the necessary arrangements with local councils so that home owners have the correct documentation.

Please note that without this documentation you may face difficulties refinancing or selling your property.
Add to that the fact that Whitehall is an Independent Approved Contractor who has passed full installation training and you can rest easy knowing that the work is in safe hands from start to finish.

The Consumer Protection Association also approves Whitehall so you get immediate peace of mind knowing that your money is completely protected.

It’s essential to look after your home and to have the roof, walls and roofline looking attractive and as maintenance-free as possible. Which is why it pays to replace and not repair!

A recent property article in the Telegraph recommended, ‘the wisest way to spend money is…making sure the roof, soffits and fascias are sound and the gutters clear. Sort out visible maintenance jobs or the property will be harder to sell’.

Whether you are selling your property or not, make sure the roofline is sound and not going to rot, leak or allow vermin in. Rotting timbers or blocked gutters can cause long-term damage so now is the time to replace bad ones with high quality, good value products. Don’t be misled into being told that capping over is fine for your roofline, because it simply isn’t. Replace it with quality uPVC and know that you can rest easy for a long time to come.

Local company, Whitehall Plastics, is your roofline specialist for fascia, soffits, downpipes, cladding and gutter replacement as well as being the approved contractor for RubberBond EPDM permanent flat roof solutions. This unique system is the modern answer to long-lasting, good-looking flat roof solutions. With a 20 year guarantee, and proven to last more than 40 years, RubberBond repels all moisture and doesn’t suffer from cracking or crazing. Unlike many other flat roof products, RubberBond means you replace the roof – not repair it – once and for all.

Whitehall Plastics is approved by the Consumer Protection Association, which means you get immediate peace of mind knowing that your money is completely protected as Whitehall Plastics is a responsible company with a vested interest in looking after you.

All products are fully guaranteed with the guarantee being transferable to new owners of your home if you sell.

Your roofline (the soffits and fascias) is attacked each day by the elements from cold, frosty mornings to wet, windy days to hot summer sun. It's hardly surprising that wood eventually starts to look shoddy and rotten. Of course, you can choose to spend hours balancing on a ladder and doing back-breaking maintenance, but the reality is that you simply don't have to.

Replace the wood which, when rotten, can lead to woodworm and allow vermin such as birds and squirrels to infiltrate your roof. So now is the time to replace your old roofline with a top quality, weather-resistant, uPVC one that never needs to be repaired or painted.

Whitehall Plastics has a range of roofline products including fascias, guttering, downpipes, soffits, bargeboards and cladding in a range of styles and colours.

And you’ll be surprised how inexpensive it can be to replace your roofline. Our roofline products not only smarten and help protect your property, they also come with a transferrable 10 year guarantee (which means you're covered and, if you sell your home, so is the buyer).

In a somewhat quiet housing market period, add value to your home and improve the look with instant 'kerb appeal'.

Whitehall Plastics is monitored by the Consumer Protection Association, which means your investment is safe and we have to come up to scratch!

You would be forgiven for thinking that autumn has already arrived. But think positive and think now about smartening the appearance of your home. At the same time - say goodbye to painting rotten cladding. The Cellular PVC used by Whitehall can also improve the insulation of your home as it has much better thermal qualities than wood.

Whitehall Plastics will replace your cladding with maintenance-free uPVC products that you need never sand, scrape or paint again.

Choose from a range of cladding designs including Feather Edge, Tongue & Groove, Open Vee and Shiplap.

Whitehall's experienced team will advise on the best fit and finish for your property including a range of colours. Choose from white, light oak effect and mahogany effect.

All products are supplied by British company, Freefoam Plastics and are guaranteed for 20 years.

If you haven't already experienced Whitehall Plastics' roofline products, now is the time to act. Put an end to all that rubbing down, priming and re-painting at the top of a ladder. Replace your roofline! And just what is the roofline made up of? Here's the terminology...

bargeboards (the vertical pieces just under the roof at the gable end)
fascias (the vertical pieces front and back)
soffits (the horizontal pieces that connect bargeboards and fascias to the walls)
guttering (the pipes and gutters that handle water run-off)

Replacing these with low-maintenance PVCu means an end to hours of maintenance. Unlike wood, Whitehall's roofline products will never discolour, flake or rot. A secure roofline also eliminates dry and wet rot, can include bird, vermin and leaf guards and will really improve the look and value of your home. All work and materials are covered by Whitehall's 10-year guarantee.

A word of advice. Many companies fix their products on top of an existing roofline, which doesn't cure the problem, it simply hides the symptoms. Be assured that Whitehall removes all rotting wood and replaces the full system.

We would like to give money to your local community, please act now.

As you know, Whitehall Plastics advertises in lots of Parish Magazines, and very successful this is too.

So we would like to find a way to put something back into your community, which would be of benefit to us both.

As the summer approaches, more people think about their gardens and how to keep them watered and nurtured during dry spells - and indeed throughout the autumn and winter seasons too. Last year, we sold over 870 Rainwater Diverters, which went a long way to helping people do their bit for the environment and to conserve water.

Which led us to this idea that can make money for your community or Parish Council.

If you would place an advertisement, free of charge, for these rainwater diverters, then we will donate £5 from every sale via your magazine to your local cause. Be it for children's equipment, village hall funds, environmental improvements or any fundraiser that is relevant to your community, you will receive £5 for each sale direct from Whitehall Plastics - and that could be quite a tidy sum.

The Rainwater Diverters, which conserve water by directing it to a water butt, come in four colours and cost £23.99 inc p&p and are delivered direct to the customer. What's more they are easy to install, maintenance free, come with step by step illustrated instructions, are compatible with most makes of downpipes and are supplied complete with all fittings including connecting hosepipe.

You can find out more information here:
http://www.whitehallplastics.co.uk/products_gutter_rainwaterdiverter.htm

From that £23.99, you will receive £5 from every sale.

We think this would be a great benefit both to our customers and your community.

The actual logistics of taking the orders will be done by Whitehall Plastics using a special code within the advertisement so you can track who has bought a rainwater diverter and what monies you have made.

I hope this is of interest and I look forward to hearing from you soonest. Please email Bryony at info@ebcmedia.co.uk or call me, Chris Whitehall, on 01638 507730 and I will happily discuss this further.

Kind regards

Chris Whitehall
Managing Director

A new sponsorship deal has been agreed between Histon Football Club and Whitehall Plastics’ Managing Director, Chris Whitehall.

The company is proud to be involved in helping the Club to attract an even stronger following through initiatives aimed at families, schools, youth clubs and local businesses and sees this as a long-term involvement with a proactive and professional football club.

Histon Football Club is currently at the top of the Nationwide Conference League South, achieved through strong teamwork and a commitment to playing to the highest standards.

“The Club has a strong group of supporters and it’s great to be a part of ‘the team’ in looking at ways to encourage even more support for the club. The success of our business has come from having built a confidence in our service and products within the local community and this is where I see a strong parallel between Whitehall Plastics and Histon FC,” added Chris Whitehall.

For over 16 years, Whitehall Plastics, a family-run business, has provided a professional roofline service throughout East Anglia and is excited at being in partnership with such a long established football club.
The company is also discussing further sponsorship opportunities within the Club and looking at ways to encourage more families to attend games.

It was rather wonderful while it lasted, but the hot summer is now but a dim and distant memory.

The extremes of temperature and heavy rainfalls, however, cause problems and can badly affect some flat roofs. In the past few weeks, a record number of felt roofs have failed, leaving the homeowner with a damp and sorry problem!

If you have a flat roof, either on a dormer part of the house, an extension or on the garage, do be sure to carry out a thorough check to make sure its performance is as it should be. Check for signs of shrinkage, cracks or tears. If you're not sure, ask Whitehall Plastics to do a free survey for complete peace of mind.

And that's the beauty of RubberBond; because of its strength and flexibility, it won't tear, crack or split like other materials. Proven to last over 40 years and with a 20-year guarantee, RubberBond is a long-lasting solution to flat roof problems. Having proved itself worldwide, from the glaring sun of much hotter countries than the UK (even compared to this summer!) to the freezing conditions of Alaska (and hopefully the winter won't compare there either!), RubberBond really is a remarkable material that will stretch to accommodate building movement.

Having passed a full installation training course, Whitehall Plastics is your locally approved contractor for the RubberBond EPDM roofing system, which stands for (now for the scientific bit!) Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer.

Call 01638 507740 or email info@whitehallplastics.co.uk today and ask about Whitehall Plastics FREE installation offer.
