Busy Busy Busy

Well February has certainly flown by and we are pleased to say we have been very busy indeed. With two large projects on the go as well as our regular maintenance work that we carry out for many clients annually it has been a busy time for all our guys.

The start of February also saw the snow which did slow us down some what but thankfully it didnt last long and the guys were soon back on the roofs even though it was a bit cold up there!!

Louis has kicked the habit!!

If you have ever visited the RMS Ltd Office you will have noticed a lot of shredded paper on the floor which was all thanks to Chris' dog Louis, who used steel paper from bins and have great pleasure in ripping it up and leaving a trail of destruction. New year was the perfect time for us all to help Louis kick this habit and his New Years Resolution is going very very well indeed.

Just need to teach him out to answer the phone now!!

Well Done Louis!!

Solar PV

With the deadline of March 3rd approaching fast, we have had an influx of Solar PV enquiries resulting in many installations of Solar Panels which has been very hectic indeed, fortuantly the weather has been on our side and with the nights getting lighter that extra half hour in the evenings is making all the difference. The jobs have been going well with the guys managing to get whole PV installations done and dusted in one day!

New Website

I have had a sneaky look at the new website and it is looking good and should be up and running by mid March, so go check it out!!

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

As most of you are aware we lost a very integral member of our sales team back in August 2011. Andy Scott had worked for RMS for 18years and passed away whilst participating in a charity cycle ride, one of his many passions. Although his passing was a great shock to us all he will never be forgotten by his fellow workmates and clients.

In October 2011 we welcomed Contracts Manager Mark Rowe to the RMS team. He has 10 years experience in the industry and has slotted into the role with ease.

We also welcomed Helen Middlebrook in July 2011 who took over the position of Office Manager from Cheryl, who retired 18 years. Cheryl moved away from the area to start a whole new life with her fiance in Coventry, and we wish them both well in there new life together.

2012 has started off to be a busy year with us already winning two large contracts with hopefully many more to follow. We are also currently updating our website to make it more user friendly so be sure to check it out for any further information you require.

Building Insurer Reject Claim due to lack of evidence

A commercial building company owner advised us this week their £75k claim for a leaking roof and associated water damage had been rejected by their building insurance provider. The company, who had been with this insurance provider for 12 years,
fell foul to a clause of “effectively maintaining the property” as maintenance records, warrantees and other “reasonable” evidence were not adequate.

Here at RMS, as part of our account management, we dove tail support and offer clients a Planned Preventative Maintenance service to protect against this. We deliver these flexible budgeted services through an existing activity like gutter cleaning, gutter replacement or during a roof repair.

Additionally we reitorate that gutters, whether a liner or Unifold, require an annual inspection to achieve manufactures warrantees. Email us at sales@rms-roofing.co.uk to enquire about more details.

Reduce Utility Bills – Solar Panels have a triple impact on a businesses Bottom Line

21 years Roofing Professionals and Specialists, RMS have launched Solar Panels PV (Photovoltaic) service to their portfolio and their work with existing customers is showing extraordinary results.

Utility Bills are continuing to rise and show no sign of slowing, suddenly “looking green” and “being environmentally responsible” is more than cosmetic and the easiest and most straightforward solution is Solar Panels PV – generating your own electricity.

The impact on the bottom line is:
£ [1] Generating your own electricity to use, therefore less to purchase from the provider.
£ [2] Get PAID for generating it for 25 years guaranteed – the government through energy providers will guarantee to pay those generating their own electricity for 25 years.
£ [3] Environmental and Renewable Energy Projects add value to the properties they're installed into and are big PR to the businesses, plus a physical demonstration of a “responsible company”


Solar efficiency have enhanced significantly since their introduction, where panels now generate good power even at low light levels - making Solar PV a leading choice for renewable energy both for domestic and commercial use.


Although there's a MCS quality assurance scheme to ensure this new industry deliver, as the industry is new and in the current economic climate there's expected concerns about the life of new businesses.

“...we service a number of sectors and have attended numerous roof leaks from new Solar Panel installations. Speaking with customers, we all agreed PV would be a natural addition to our Green Roof solutions with our 21 year history to give that piece of mind to customers that their installers are going to be around for many years to come and reduce unnecessary roof repairs.”
- Will Intosh, Director of RMS.

21 Years Strong...

Most remember their 21st birthday as its the notable point marking a coming of age - a fully fledged legal adult.

For RMS it too is a notable point, our 21st birthday is a mark of our teams who have continually worked hard and, under the leadership of Chris Watchorn, earned the reputation of “professionals and specialists in roofing”. However our anniversary is also a mark from our customers, a non verbal expression of the value and service quality we've delivered to them.

We'd like to thank all our customers and we hope our continual develop will mean we mature further like a good Wine with age, or for Chris our Managing Director - Whisky.

CHEERS!

Our Quality is in TEAMS

Our practice of continual development for employees, as well as the business has seen them achieve a service team record of up to 16 years; testament to our Values (click).


Recently, Dean, Terry, Rob and Gary completed an NVQ level 2 in Sheeting & Cladding, which entailed an examiner inspecting the quality of work on site over a 3 month period -
this NVQ formalised their experience into a qualification.

In addition, RMS is pleased to announce the employment of Lewis Mc Combie to our service team.

“We're a close, friendly team at RMS and investing in our team is the surest method to continue high service delivery and meet customer expectations. I'm pleased they did themselves justice in the NVQ and to welcome Lewis to the team.” Chris Watchorn, Managing Director of RMS.
