more consistent, efficient and easier to work with on site. The company’ s range covers both essential construction materials and specialist, performance-led products designed to reduce uncertainty and improve speed of installation.
That range includes everything from ready-mixed concrete, mortar, plaster and screed through to more advanced engineered systems. Products such as Exposa ® decorative concrete and coloured mortars are used where appearance matters as much as performance, while Ultraflo ® and Ultracem liquid screeds are designed for speed, thermal efficiency and compatibility with modern underfloor heating. Alongside this, innovations like Ultrabead ® provide insulating solutions, and Zircon ® polished concrete delivers a finished floor straight from the pour.
“ More recently,” Alan continues,“ we acquired Colinwell Masonry Products, which we brought into the group around two years ago. They supply a fairly unique retaining wall system called Allan Block, along with architectural masonry and Martello stone walling blocks. We now sell that range across the UK and Ireland, supported by a dedicated sales team on both sides of the water.
“ When you look across the two companies together, that gives us a complete product offering, from core ready-mix materials through to specialist masonry systems used in larger architectural and civil projects.
“ Maintaining consistency and quality across such a diverse range comes down to three key things. First is our automated batching process. Every mix is based on a precise recipe tailored to the required strength.
We have a highly experienced team, many of whom have been with the business for decades
