Hambleside Danelaw Ltd

This new-build house is situated in the quiet village of Boothby Graffoe, Lincolnshire. The work shown in these photos was completed April 2023 by C & C Fibreglass of Lincoln, and covers approximately 150m² over five separate areas, finished with a modular ‘cassette’ sedum green roof.

This stylish bespoke house was designed and built to high standards in 2018, the aim being to achieve very demanding aesthetics. Set in spacious grounds which emphasise the good looks of the house, Phil Boardman of P Q Fibreglassing Ltd commented “The demanding standards of construction and the need to integrate our roof waterproofing with other trades posed quite a few challenges for my team”.

DMG Services Group Ltd are an award-winning company that specialise in carrying out the roofing works for new build homes across Scotland for companies such as Barratt Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Balfour Beatty, and more. Darren McGhee, a third-generation roofer and owner of DMG Services Group Ltd., was awarded the high accolade of Britain’s Top Tradesman in 2019. He is also a Regional Board Member of the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors), with completed projects across Scotland.When Darren was contacted for a new build development for a well-known house builder in West Calder, he wanted a durable, easy-to-install tile and slate roofing underlay.The Danelaw LR150 underlay is manufactured by Hambleside Danelaw, suitable for both unsupported and supported applications. As it is low resistance, it is BBA approved for use in cold and warm roofs and can help with meeting ventilation requirements in the roof space. For more information about ventilation requirements see Hambleside Danelaw’s first article in the Back to Basic series.Throughout the fitting of Danelaw LR150, Darren found it “very easy to install” and was impressed that it “stands the test against heavy footfall on the roofs when the tiles are being loaded and fitted”.Danelaw underlay was used in this project for 3 Semi-detached houses, all of which had roofs fitted by DMG, supplied by One Stop Roofing Supplies, Glasgow.  For more information on the Danelaw LR150, contact sales@hambleside-danelaw.co.uk

The Isle of Luing is one of the Slate Islands in the Inner Hebrides, in the west of Argyll in Scotland. Its charm lies in its natural beauty and unspoilt peaceful scenery looking out to the Inner Seas but is very exposed to the elements. Being coastal and located in BRE’s Wind Zone 4, properties need to be built with robustness and durability in mind. The Danelaw SwiftRidg® Roll Top Ridge and Hip System, a new and innovative GRP product from Hambleside Danelaw, has been BRE tested to resist wind speeds exceeding 110mph. Comprising completely of corrosion resistant components and a unique concealed omega shaped fixing bracket to avoid any penetrations through the system, the SwiftRidg® was installed along all the ridge and hip lines.An attractive and viable alternative to the traditional lead roll top ridge and hips, SwiftRidg® was installed on two properties along with Samaca Prime Slates on roofs covering an area of approximately 240m2; a perfect opportunity to showcase the neat and clean lines of the system.Roofing contractors Kevin Mackie and Kieran Rowan admitted they were sceptical at first, as it is the first complete system of its kind, but with Paul Lambert (Hambleside Danelaw’s Field Technical Support) on hand, in addition to clear installation guidance they were impressed with the speed and ease of installation.Kevin and Kieran had been contracted by Chris Parr Joinery and Building; and once the roof was complete, Chris Parr stated that “It looked great!”. The photos capture the beauty of the location, and the finish of the roof is clean, tidy and unobtrusive.The SwiftRidg® is patent pending (Patent Application No. 2308115.1) and comes with a 20-year guarantee. Hambleside Danelaw also manufacture the SwiftRidg®+, which offers a ventilated option for ridge where required.

This beautifully finished residential extension was completed and handed over in July 2019 after a great deal of hard work and attention to detail.Rather than opting for a traditional metal roof, Mihai chose to use the Dryseal system for cost and aesthetic reasons. As you can see from the high standard of finish on all elements of the extension and garage, Mihai is very uncompromising and strives to leave the best possible result for the client.
