Wall Restore

Homepage   Deep Links:  Restoration   New Build   Materials   External Work   Contact

Info:  Specialize in the repair, restoration, building and re-building of all types of masonry with care and attention to detail. We have extensive experience with projects that involve traditional materials, although we are equally at home working with modern structures to current building regulations. In fact many projects involve matching new masonry to original work and new builds. Often we will reclaim from internal walls that have been demolished or altered, masonry floors that have been dug up, or the grounds and gardens where materials been discarded.


Waste Aware Construction

Info:  Advice on how C&D companies are able to reduce, reuse and recycle their waste, with case studies to illustrate the benefits of waste management on-site. Toolbox Talks and other links to industry sources of information and help regarding waste disposal and management. Information about the National Colour Coding scheme for the source segregation of recyclates on C&D sites.


Wastecycle

Info:  Assists waste producers in improving their resource efficiency and reducing operating costs by increasing recycling. We are dedicated to helping our customers reduce their environmental impact by continued investment in new technologies to broaden the scope of our re-processing services whilst developing sustainable markets for secondary materials.


Yorkon

Info:  Produces some of the most advanced modular building systems available. They are designed and manufactured under controlled conditions using the latest technology in state-of-the-art production facilities. The steel-framed buildings are fitted out in the factory before being delivered to site by road, where they are craned onto pre-prepared foundations in a matter of hours.

Up to 67 per cent less energy is required to produce a modular building compared to an equivalent traditionally built project (source: Arup Research and Development). The insulation materials used in the walls, roof and floor of Yorkon buildings have an ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) of zero – minimising their impact on the environment.

Reduced noise and pollution: there are up to 90 per cent fewer vehicle movements (source: Mtech), which mean less environmental pollution because of reduced vehicle mileage. Noise and dust levels on site are also minimised.

Less waste: material useage in the factory is minimised by the careful design and procurement of materials, reducing the amount of waste generated both on and off site. More than 60 per cent of waste is recycled in the production centre, and the cost of waste sent to landfill has been reduced by more than 50 per cent over the last three years.
