Editor’s Comment MATT DOWNS EDITORIAL DIRECTOR MATTDOWNS@MEDIA-NOW.CO.UK The <strong>June</strong> issue is packed full of giveaways, the latest products, opinions, advice and top tips for roofing and cladding contractors – plus this month we give a nod to nature and a nod to the past! This might be a bit of a strange question, but would you know what to do if you encountered bats on a project? Well, it’s actually a scenario that’s quite common on roofing projects, but don’t worry as we’ve spoken to Jo Ferguson, Built Environment Officer at the Bat Conservation Trust, and you can read Jo’s important advice on (p.28). The heritage roofing sector is one that always catches the imagination, but as Nigel Dyer, Heritage Services Manager at Wienerberger explains, the level of skill required to work on these projects means it might not be for everyone. As Nigel says in our interview on p.32: “Heritage roofing is very methodical and has to be completed to strict standards, which means extensive planning is necessary. The roofers themselves also have to be extremely skilled. The products they are working with are sometimes very tricky to install, usually with no installation guidance.” Elsewhere in this issue we get the dos and don’ts of social media (p.20); the Inspector tackles combustible substrates (p.22); we hear why the technical side of fasteners has never been more important (p.50); and talk VIPs on p.64. Plus, with the World Cup just around the corner, why not get the team together and see who wins with our BMI Sweepstake Kit! So, read on for all this and so much more!
