TIME TO TAKE A
BREATHER
RG Leverett, a family-run roofing company, has switched to using BreatherQuilt from
YBS as it says it finds it more cost-effective to install and offers superior
performance compared to rival products. The first project where RG Leverett
trialled YBS BreatherQuilt was a 1950’s bungalow in Norwich, where the original
roof covering of concrete tiles was at the end of its life.
Rob Leverett, owner of RG Leverett, explained: “We carry out a lot of work like this for the
owners of older properties and decided to try YBS BreatherQuilt because it is not only
cheaper than the other products we were using, but it offers better insulation as well. It is
straightforward to install – we had absolutely no problems with it – and I am sure we will
be purchasing BreatherQuilt for more projects in the future.” www.ybsinsulation.com
“IT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD TO
INSTALL – WE HAD ABSOLUTELY
NO PROBLEMS WITH IT”
SAWING TOOLS MAKE THE CUT
Hultafors now offers a new range of cutting and sawing tools that include Bow Saws,
general purpose Short Hand Saws, Hack Saws, a Jab Saw, a Concrete Saw, plus a superb
Japanese Ryoba Saw.
So, what makes these saws really different? Hultafors points to the blade tips which offer an
easier start and ongoing sawing motion control; the easy-to-use blade exchange system; the
extra stable precision blades and the ergonomics which make sawing an easier and more
precise experience. www.hultafors.co.uk
