Britain's best source of building product and construction news

Steel roofing and cladding supplier Arcelor UK sprang into action when a customer urgently needed to replace a roof on a storm damaged supermarket. High winds ripped the aluminium sheet off the newly-completed store in Chester depositing it in the car park. Following a Sunday morning telephone call to Arcelor's managing director the company confirmed it was able to supply the material without delay. Arcelor supplied roofing contractor Blackwell Stanistreet with its Arclad R34 profiled steel sheeting to replace the lightweight aluminium which had been destroyed. The first sheet was supplied on Tuesday and both roofs were installed within just 12 days.
