Quality, custom made joinery
Whether you are looking for a one-off
custom made gate, a staircase, or a
production run of doors and windows for a
new housing development, or a new interior
for your pub, restaurant or office, we can
deliver exactly what you are looking for.
We have been manufacturing top quality,
purpose made joinery for the domestic and
commercial markets since 1972. In our 7,000
square foot factory we can manufacture in
hard or softwoods, and veneered & painted
panels. We have a modern spray paint and
lacquer facility, enabling products to leave
the factory in a fully finished state.
No article is too big or too small: In the
past we’ve supplied items as small as a 1m
length of moulding; but maybe the most
unusual article we’ve produced is 10m high
oak hardwood catapult for a castle!

Get winter ready
with Mudfords
Founded in 1832, Mudfords originally
started out as a rope maker.
Today, Mudfords is a manufacturer
and supplier of a large range of
equipment and products suited
to the Transport and Construction
Industries. The company was
incorporated into the Stuart Canvas
Group in 2018.
From barrier fencing to rope,
sandbags, netting, lifting slings,
ratchet straps, tarpaulins, bespoke
covers, retractable tunnels, container
shelters and signage, Mudfords
is well trusted and a leader in
the industry with over 100 years
of knowledge and experience
in producing such high-quality
products.
As we head into Winter, Mudfords
offer a number of products that are
versatile in their uses. Four products
worth noting for this time of year are
Hessian Rolls, Insulated tarpaulins,
Sandbags, and Jute Sheets.
Hessian is offer in a range of sizes
in both rolls & and folds. Hessian is
used to protect freshly laid masonry.
The natural hessian is able to
protect brickwork against frost and
rain damage. It can also be used a
biodegrade alternative to privacy
fencing.
Inclusive design
unlocks creativity
There is growing recognition that
we all perceive the world differently
and that to thrive, we need to create
spaces that meet everyone’s needs.
However, the concept of inclusive
design often conjures up a notion of
compromise that curbs creativity and
leads to uninspiring solutions.
A new guide from Tarkett ‘Human
Conscious Design Principles’ is
tackling this misconception & argues
that designing with specific needs in
mind can, in fact, unlock creativity.
That, by interrogating the different
ways in which we experience and
interpret our surroundings, designers
are encouraged to explore new ideas
and solutions that they may not
otherwise have considered.
Mudfords
offers three
different types
of Insulated
Tarpaulins: base range economy;
mid-range standard; and premium
insulated tarpaulins. Mainly used in
the construction industry to regulate
temperature during transportation
around the country, they can also
be used for concrete curing or as an
extra insulation base in a building or
garage.
Sandbags are a great way to
combat any potential flooding and
come in three varieties: Hessain;
Polypropylene; and Rotproof.
Hessain are strong and durable
and as they have a low intake of
water, they have a longer-life span.
Polypropylene are a cheaper choice
and more catered towards lightweight
use and equipped with antirotting
protection for durability. Jute
Sheets are rough and absorb water
readily meaning it dries fast. It is
resistant to abrasion and staining and
mainly used in construction but can
also be used as a protective sheeting
over tarmacadam keeping it warm
and malleable while being laid.

Introducing The NeutraliZer : Innovative in-line
pH balancing for the Construction Industry
Shortlisted in the Pollution Mitigation category
at The Water Industry Awards 2024, The
NeutraliZer is an industry leading solution
for treating and balancing harmful caustic
wastewater commonly found in the construction
industry. The innovative NeutraliZer was
designed and manufactured by Smart Storm to
meet and exceed the strict guidelines set by the
Environment Agency during construction of the
Thames Tideway Project, and its environmentally
friendly technology makes it a standout solution
across the construction industry.
An Innovative Approach to pH Balancing:
Traditionally, hazardous chemicals were used for
pH balancing in concrete washouts. However,
The NeutraliZer revolutionises this process
by utilising CO 2 instead, achieving in-line pH
balancing without the need for batch treatments.
Thanks to our advanced in-line
mixing technology, the system
requires minimal operator
interaction..
Key Benefits
s Fully Automated – Simple
to install and set up, The
NeutraliZer boasts seamless
automation, minimising the
need for manual intervention.
s Compact Mobile Design –
Designed for demanding
construction environments,
the small footprint and skid
mount allows for easy relocation on busy
construction sites.
s Environmentally Friendly – CO 2 self-buffers
and cannot overdose no matter how much
is injected, meaning discharge remains
compliant and minimising the risk of pollution
events.
s Intelligent Monitoring – Featuring an integral
flowmeter, The NeutraliZer can be monitored
remotely using our cloud-based interface.
Applications
s Construction and building sites
s Concrete wagon wash outs
s Mining
s Quarrying
s Demolition sites
s Concrete paving and brick manufacturing
s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries
s Railway and Road Infrastructure
s Water Companies
The Versatile NeutraliZer
In addition to its increasing use
across the construction Industry,
The NeutraliZer has been
used by large pharmaceutical
manufacturers, chemical suppliers,
and as an emergency pH balancing
unit for a large distillery which
suffered a breakdown of its inhouse
pH balancing system and
was at risk of fines and prosecution.
Due to its small footprint, The
NeutraliZer can be retro fitted or easily sited
into most existing effluent treatment plants. The
unit can also be customised for balancing high
acidic levels in wastewater, and as a specialist
manufacturer, Smart Storm can respond to other
custom requests and provide advice across
all of your industrial wastewater treatment
requirements..

Groundbreaker: Changing water infrastructure
‘By 2050 the UK water deficit is anticipated
to be 4,017 mega litres per day.’
Since this announcement in January
2022, major water companies have been
developing plans to upgrade the UK’s
water supply and reduce current usage
from 150 litres per person per day to 110.
Groundbreaker will be a major contributor
to this new infrastructure. Surface mounted
metering and flow reduction are integral
parts of major water companies new plans,
and Groundbreaker’s unique product are an
essential part of the new style infrastructure.
Smart meters
Thames Water has recorded domestic water
savings of 12-17% following smart meter
installation. Now other UK water companies
are following suit.
New meter location policy
Unitied Utilities have
recently announced that
the most effective method
of installing the advanced
metering infrastructure is to
use Groundbreaker’s water
management system. This
locates the meter above
ground, providing a better
environment for smart
technology over traditional
underground boundary boxes, extends
signal transmission and allows easy meter
exchange.
Designing out leak paths
The unique location of
the Groundbreaker water
management system
future proofs the network
and minimises the risk of
developing future leaks. The
position of the meter allows
for an unjointed water supply,
hence maintaining the integrity
of the supply. The use of an
uninterrupted supply has been
recognised as best practice
by Water UK and the Home
Builders Federation.
Water Management
Water efficient homes
Water efficient homes are essential to reduce
consumption further. In all new properties,
developers will be encouraged to design
in water conservation measures, including
the installation of a flow regulator. These
modulate the flow entering customer
premises, so limiting the amount used by
the customer. Without a degradation of
service or any behavioural change, there is a
‘natural’ reduction in consumption.
Groundbreaker supply two products. In
properties with a meter, Groundbreaker’s
NRv2 LoFlo can be installed between the
water meter and manifold in any water
meter enclosure. For unmetered properties,
the LoFlo InLine is fitted on the main water
supply pipe, normally just after the main
stoptap.
In either unit, several flow modulation
ranges are available which enable the
perfect balance between usage reduction
and service provision. As an added benefit,
the Groundbreaker’s LoFlo Check Valve
systems have the unique property of
providing whole site protection against
contamination by back flow (up to fluid
category 2) as standard.

Flogas and Hoval join forces to deliver
turnkey LPG solution for off-grid businesses
Leading off-grid energy
supplier Flogas Britain has
partnered with renowned
boiler manufacturer Hoval
Ltd, to provide off-grid
businesses nationwide with
a complete turnkey LPG
solution that’s led by one
expert team from start to
finish.
The new partnership will
benefit facilities managers
across the UK looking
for an effective, reliable
off-grid heating and hot
water supply. Not only will
it provide businesses with
enhanced efficiencies, but it
could lower running costs,
helping to boost their bottom
line. For those switching
from fuels like oil, it will
also help to reduce their
environmental impact. With
up to 20% lower carbon
intensity*, LPG is a cleaner,
more efficient energy source
than oil, helping businesses
on the road to a lower
carbon future.
Working together, Flogas and Hoval will manage
the whole solution – specifying, installing, and
maintaining bespoke LPG solutions that meet
business’s exact needs, while also providing an
Sophie Print, Head of New
Energies at Flogas and Ross
Halley, Sales Director at Hoval
on-going, reliable energy
supply. Flogas will manage
customers’ LPG storage
and supply, whilst Hoval
will provide and install
modern, high efficiency
boilers, taking away old
equipment. Customers will
receive the best possible
customer service, receiving
expert guidance as well as
market-leading maintenance
packages. They will also
benefit from flexible finance
options along with bespoke
payment plans, helping them
manage cashflow.
“We wanted to make the
process as easy as possible
for businesses looking to
switch to LPG,” said Sophie
Print, Head of New Energies
at Flogas. “Previously, they
would come to us just for the
LPG supply, and then source
their own boiler separately.
But now, we can do it all for
them, so they don’t have
to! We’ll take the hassle out
of upgrading their heating
system, leaving them with
more time to carry on doing what they do best, and
helping them run their business in a more energy
efficient way. They can also rest assured they’ve
got the right products, a trusted supply, and a
specialist team behind them the whole time.
“We wanted to work with Hoval specifically, as
there is a great synergy between our businesses.
Hoval has extensive national coverage, top
quality products, it’s well established, and
provides fantastic customer support. It’s also well
ahead of the curve when it comes to addressing
decarbonisation, which is also top of our agenda.”
LPG is an increasingly popular off-grid energy
source, providing reliable, efficient heating, hot
water and cooking gas. It’s also one of the cleanest,
most efficient conventional off-grid fuels available.*
Businesses switching from oil not only benefit
from significant carbon savings, but also better air
quality, as it emits far fewer pollutant emissions,
including nitrous oxide (NOx), sulphur oxide (SOx)
and particulate matter (PM).
Ross Halley, Sales Director from Hoval, adds,
“Our high performance, modern LPG boilers
can improve efficiency by up to 20%, helping
businesses to cut costs considerably. Pair this with
Flogas’s reliable LPG and customers are gaining
surety of supply in the most cost effective away.
Plus, they get the full package and our combined
expertise all in one place, saving them valuable
time and effort.”

Cleaning & Hygiene
New addition to
Toucan Eco range
Robert Scott has launched Centrego
Renew, a highly sustainable
disinfectant generator that uses just
water, salt and electricity to make
two litres of powerful, antibacterial
multi-surface cleaner in four
minutes.
The latest addition to the company’s
innovative Toucan Eco range,
Centrego Renew has been
developed in response
to customer demand
for enhanced choice
and versatility in
its sustainable
cleaning
solutions.
Compared to
the one litre
capacity of the
existing Toucan Eco
Worktop Centrego
Renew enables users to
create double the amount of
disinfectant cleaner, helping increase
efficiency and reduce downtime of
cleaning regimes. The UK-designed
product is also significantly sturdier
and more durable, making it the
perfect solution for busy small to
medium spaces.
The hypoallergenic disinfectant
produced by Centrego Renew
replaces the need for up to 80%
of cleaning chemicals, as well as
the single use plastic bottles they
come in. Centrego Renew makes
fast-acting cleaning fluid in just four
minutes, or eight minutes for double
strength solution. Any surplus
solution reverts to its original state
which can be safely disposed of
down the sink.
Steve Courtney,
product lead for
Toucan Eco at
Robert Scott,
commented, “The
Toucan Eco range
represents a truly
revolutionary
step in sustainable
commercial
cleaning. It’s proven
hugely popular with
customers and it’s always
been important for us to
continue working with the industry
to understand their needs and keep
updating the range to meet that
demand.”

Benefits of Goupil electric utility vehicles
Bradshaw is the official UK distributor for
Goupil, all-electric, zero-emission light
commercial road and utility vehicles. Goupil
was founded in 1996 and quickly established
itself as a leading manufacturer of electric
utility vehicles and a pioneer in sustainable
transportation solutions.
The Goupil G2 and G4 models perfectly balance
sustainable, environmental, and economic
functionality in an electric light commercial
vehicle. With their innovative design, they are
specifically tailored to meet the diverse needs of
industrial and commercial operations.
Goupil electric vehicles offer a multitude of
benefits that make them a compelling choice.
Not only do they contribute to a cleaner and
greener environment by producing zero
emissions, but they also provide efficient and
cost-effective transportation solutions. With
their compact size and manoeuvrability, Goupil
vehicles are perfect for navigating urban areas
and tight spaces with ease. Additionally, their
low maintenance requirements and long battery
life ensure reliable and hassle-free operation.
These qualities, combined with their versatility
and customisable features, make Goupil electric
vehicles an ideal option for various industries,
including logistics, delivery services, and
municipal operations.
Environmentally friendly
Using electricity rather than fossil fuels, Electric
vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions,
helping combat climate change and improving
air quality.
Regenerative braking contributes significantly
to environmental conservation by enhancing
the energy efficiency of electric vehicles. Unlike
traditional braking systems, which dissipate
kinetic energy as heat, regenerative braking
systems capture and reuse this energy. The
regenerative braking systems on a Goupil
Electric vehicle reduce wear and tear on the
tyres and reduce tyre and brake dust pollution.
Silent operation
Electric vehicles offer a significant advantage in
reducing noise pollution, providing a tranquil
and enjoyable environment. These near-silent
vehicles enable operations during evening
and early morning hours without causing
disturbances to the local community.
Economic benefits
Electric vehicles are incredibly efficient,
enabling lower operating costs over time
than traditional internal combustion vehicles.
Operating electric vehicles can save money on
both fuel and maintenance expenses. This is
especially beneficial for businesses that operate
a fleet of vehicles, as they can see significant
savings over time.
Stop/start operations
The Electric Goupil is better suited to stop-start
operations compared to diesel vehicles. Diesel
particulate filters (DPFs), designed to capture
and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions, can
pose problems. If not regularly and sufficiently
heated, these filters can become clogged,
leading to expensive maintenance and repair
costs.
No special charging infrastructure required
Charging a Goupil G4 is a straightforward
process; equipped with a single-phase onboard
charger, the Goupil’s plug into any 230V/13A
domestic socket, negating the need for any
additional electric charger installation.
Compact size
The Goupil G4’s compact size and
manoeuvrability make them ideally suited for
urban environments, where space is premium
and navigating crowded streets can be
challenging.
