Established in May 2020, Salt Town Contractors has taken inspiration from the determination and loyalty of mining communities to define an ethos that strives for success on every project it undertakes. We chat with Managing Director Karl Sands to find out more. Quality roofing and cladding on buildings serve as the critical first line of defence against the elements. Beyond their aesthetics, they play a pivotal role in ensuring the longevity and safety of a structure. Effective roofing and cladding systems shield buildings from the forces of nature, such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures, preventing water infiltration and structural damage. These components also contribute to energy efficiency by helping to regulate interior temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. In recent times, there has been a renewed emphasis on the safety of roofing and cladding products and the practices used to install them. Ensuring that roofing and cladding systems are of high quality is not only an investment in a building's durability and aesthetics, it’s also imperative for the well-being and safety of occupants. Salt Town Contractors has always put safety first. But in light of recent concerns the company has gone even further. By enhancing safety protocols, the company ensures every step of its roofing process is carried out in line with the very latest regulations. Karl says, “This is about more than meeting standards. It's about exceeding them and ensuring that businesses can return to normal with peace of mind. Cladding requires a meticulous approach. It's a versatile and practical solution but demands precision in its installation. This is where Salt Town Contractors shines. Our cladding services adhere to the highest safety standards. As we navigate the new normal (post-pandemic), this commitment to safety in the cladding process is more important than ever.” Salt Town Contractors' team of industry professionals brings its wealth of experience to a range of major UK projects. The talented team uses its expert knowledge to create and deliver bespoke solutions for a variety of commercial clients including Waitrose, John Lewis, and ultra-modern development St George’s Garden, Manchester. Karl tells us, “The resurgence in popularity of traditional metal cladding has seen improved specifications for commercial and domestic builds. Finishes are much more aesthetically pleasing and there are a wide variety of systems and colours available. We are very versatile in terms of fits and finishings. Cladding and rain-screen facades, whilst offering aesthetic benefits, remain very practical. These systems can increase a commercial property’s durability against the elements and increase the thermal performance of the building.” As part of its commitment to improved health and safety, Salt Town Contractors also specialises in the design and installation of bespoke height safety systems. Having the depth of understanding of being a day-today user of these systems, the team is best placed to conduct rigorous surveys that ensure systems are both safe and effective. In line with current work-at-height regulations, Salt Town Contractors also offers annual inspection and testing services. Karl adds, “We’re leading the way in implementing stringent best practices when it comes to roofing, cladding, and work-at-height safety. By prioritising safety and adhering to the latest regulations, we’re ensuring the longterm integrity and safety of the projects we work on. We’re also encouraging others in the industry to do the same.” To find out more about Salt Town Contractors, please visit the company website.
