Leading roof tile manufacturer, Sandtoft Roof Tiles proudly
sponsored two awards at the inaugural South Yorkshire and
Humber Built in Quality Awards 2008 which took place on 6th
March. The event celebrated high-quality building
construction in the two regions – something which the
Doncaster based roof tile manufacturer thoroughly supports. |

|
As Nick Oldridge, Sales and
Marketing Director of Sandtoft Roof Tiles commented: “The
Built in Quality Awards are a fantastic opportunity to
support the hard work and dedication of the region’s
construction companies. As a manufacturer in the region, we
understand the importance of this. It was great to be part
of such a celebration and to see the very high standards of
projects nominated and awarded at the ceremony.” |
|
Sandtoft sponsored the New
Dwellings (Volume) and Domestic Extension categories both of
which enjoyed an excellent number of entries resulting in a
very high calibre shortlist. |
|
Derek Wright Design (Hull)
Limited received the award for best New Dwelling (Volume)
for its development in Wombwell, Hull. The project was
developed on a Brownfield site and consists of 58 apartments
and houses with associated parking. More importantly, the
project forms part of a new link road which is a significant
element in the regeneration plan for the area. The other
nominated projects in this category included Hawson Street
in Barnsley for Gladedale Homes and a development on
Barnsley Road in Sheffield for Jaguar Estates. |

The winner of the Domestic
Extension award is Rhys Taylor for his small first floor
extension in Moorgate, Rotherham. This winning extension was
built into an existing external recess of a two storey stone
built structure believed to be 200-300 years old. The work
has been sympathetically constructed with like-for-like
materials and an excellent standard of workmanship. The
extension has provided additional accommodation which has
increased the value of the dwelling. Other nominees in this
category included, Chartwell Builders for its extension on
10 Hall Royd Lane in Barnsley and Mark Landrick for his
sensitive extension to the dwelling at Thorpe Salvin,
Rotherham. |

Attending the glittering
occasion were representatives from all the shortlisted
companies and sponsors, together with teams from the
regions’ Local Authority Building Control departments,
Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and guest speaker and comedian,
Brian Newbold. The event was held on Thursday 6th March
2008, at Tankersley Manor Hotel, Barnsley. |
|
Event chair of the South
Yorkshire and Humber Built in Quality Awards, Paul Cooper
concluded: “As well as rewarding these fantastic projects
and developing awareness of Local Authority Building
Control, we have raised £1,441 for the Yorkshire Air
Ambulance. We are already looking for potential nominees for
next year’s event and hope that it will be just as
successful as this year, if not more so.” |
