Gutter Lining
TRAINING, GAINING & SUSTAINING
Ampteam tells Total Contractor why it feels training makes things easier for all in the
supply chain...
The series of project photographs below and
right show pre and post images of a Unifold
installation. The final result, I am sure
anyone who has seen gutter installations before
would agree, looks good – well not just good, but
very good.
As we all know, high quality installations don’t
just happen by accident.
We decided quite some time ago as company
policy not to just supply a consignment and
expect those on site – who may have never
installed Unifold before – to just get on with it!
In fact, we would never supply to anyone unless
our training programme had first been completed
to our satisfaction. This protects our system, the
installer / site operative, and ultimately the end
user customer.
Approved contractors
This particular Unifold liner (see images) was
installed by one of our approved contractors and
“We would never
supply to anyone
unless our training
programme had first
been completed to our
satisfaction”
their site operatives have
been trained to install
the system at our
factory facility.
Following
training, this
level of quality is
what we have
come to expect
from our installers.
Guarantees
We, like many system suppliers
within our industry, provide a
comprehensive training programme, free of
charge to potential installers of our Unifold Gutter
System. It is only by doing this that we can
provide a constant net result on every occasion
and support our 25 year guarantee which

installation. Bottom, left and right the roof was not draining
correctly and ponding water was causing serious problems
includes the installation
as well as quality of
the materials and
manufacture.
Apart from
teaching the
techniques
involved with
installation and
site joint
manufacture, we feel
it is important that there
is an understanding of the
technology behind the system and why
the product, correctly installed, will perform to the
highest standard whilst at the same time
providing an installation that the installers can be
justifiably proud.
“High quality
installations don’t just
happen by accident”
The course involves practical training and a
theory presentation followed by a multiple choice
test and, when successfully completed,
candidates are awarded a numbered installer’s
card with photographic identification.
More to learn
We have found the course is beneficial for
business owners and contracts managers, as
well as site operatives to attend, as there is more
to learn than just the installation practices.
