Aluminium Guttering Leicestershire: Aluminium Roofline Products

The American International University

The American International University have recently specified ARP's products to transform the historical premises from it's derelict condition. Their remit was to replicate the exisiting guttering as closely as possible. ARP went straight to work and came up with the 3mm ogee guttering in replicated railway pattern and 76mm cast collared aluminium pipe. The replica hoppers are fabricated from 3mm aluminium sheet.

The first part of the project is in the process of being completed, with the site being finished in the next 18 months. However, it doesn't stop there. Plans are under way for 10 new appartment blocks to be built over the next 4 -5 years within the university grounds. An opportunity to introduce some of our more modern product range.

A Funeral for PVC Guttering?

When Bolton based Butler Roofing installed Mustang continuous aluminium guttering, from Aluminium Roofline Products, on St Pauls church in Bolton, they had to fit round weddings, christenings and funerals. Doug Greenhalgh, Sales Manager for Butler Roofing explains: "We replaced the old cast iron with continuous aluminium after submitting a sample to the diocese. During the installation we had to down tools during services as a mark of respect but still managed to complete the whole project in three days - installing ARP Ltd products is three times as quick compared with PVC. We use Mustang® guttering for 90% of installations because of the benefits - a longer lifespan, BBA approval for a life expectancy of 20 years and no maintenance make it a clear winner for our customers - even those in the clergy."

Economical and Eco-Friendly Aluminium Guttering

Lewes District Council specified ARP's Mustang® aluminium guttering system on a refurbishment project at Hillcrest Court, Newhaven. ARP's Mustang® 125mm O.G gutter system was specified on the 6 blocks of 3 storey flats as well as our anti vandal pipe guard and canalis downpipe.

Choosing a guttering material with a long life expectancy was important as the flats are located on the East Sussex coast line. The aluminium was recommended as suitable for the harsh coastal environment.

Richard Hallett, Senior Maintenance Surveyor says the Mustang® aluminium guttering system was specified due to a number of reasons. "ARP's Mustang® was chosen due to the fact it is maintenance-free. It's one continuous piece of aluminium, extruded on site, which reduces the number of joints and therefore the potential for leaks. ARP provided excellent pre-contract assistance with the specification and recommending approved contractors to carry out the installation."

Environmentally Friendly Refurbishment

On the Isle of Man, principal contractors, NK Joinery Ltd are currently involved in a project run by the Department of Local Government and Environment. The project involves the refurbishment of 64 properties in Jurby, North West of the Island.

Jurby is a wide open and exposed coastal area with severe weather conditions, which meant choosing a material that would withstand the harsh environment. The properties at Jurby previously had seamless aluminium guttering lasting in excess of 20 years but due to the timber substrate refurbishment was required. Mustang® continuous aluminium guttering was specified by government architects due to its durability and ease of installation. As Les Nicol of NK Joinery Ltd comments, "As well as durability, choosing a product that is environmentally friendly and sustainable is also important. Aluminium is the greenest option by far. The aluminium that was previously installed at the Jurby site was taken down and recycled by a local merchant, showing how it can be recycled and reused. Aside from it being good for the environment, it is also aesthetically pleasing."
