Swish replacement soffits and fascias were used on 24 council-owned designated OAP bungalows. Peter Lane, Surveyor for The Forest of Dean District Council, comments, "We were looking for products that are low-maintenance and will not need attention for many years to come."

 

"As part of the Council's commitment to the guidelines of The Construction Best Practice Programme, we focus on the sustainability of our maintenance and repair practices," continues Peter. "We want to ensure that our suppliers are committed to minimising environmental impact during manufacture, and that they produce cost-effective, low-maintenance, durable products."
