Since the recession took its grip on the UK last year, business in the construction trade has unfortunately been a little slow for all concerned. Less people are buying new homes and the number of home improvements being carried out with the help of trained professionals has dramatically decreased too. Fortunately, here at Thortech we’ve been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel after we were charged with providing anti-slip surfaces to one vessel in a fleet belonging to one of Europe’s largest sea-based transport networks.

At Thortech, we’ve over three decades of experience in providing anti-slip surfaces to a number of areas, from car parks to bridges and we’re also proud of the work we do, using only the latest technology available. This experience in the industry saw DFDS approach us and charge us with the task of stripping and replacing the anti-slip surface on their Tor Hafnia vessel.

To complete the work to the tight deadline set by DFDS, our team had to travel with the cargo ship on its recent journey. This voyage took us from Tilbury in Essex to Sweden’s largest city – Gothenburg and then from there we went to the independent town of Cuxhafen in Germany, before heading home via the UK’s largest port of Immingham, Grimsby.

On a ship the size of Tor Hafnia (187.0m) and considering the regular journeys it undertakes throughout Europe, it’s important that anti-slip surfacing is installed and regularly maintained to prevent any accidents and to make sure that both pedestrians and vehicles alike are able to maintain a safe grip while abroad. This enables crew and dockside staff to carry out any required work in safety, even in inclement weather or rough (and wet) seas.

Here at Thortech, we’re able to provide Traffideck and Thorgrip anti-slip surfaces to a number of areas, each of which have their benefits – depending on their requirements. If you would like more information about the anti-slip surfacing we provide or to view pictures of our marine industry work, please visit our website.

Every home is unique, meaning that every extension or alteration should be tailored to the building in hand. Swimming pools are no different at all. Having a swimming pool built in your garden is not something you should undertake lightly – it takes time and money and so homeowners need to ensure that they receive a pool that is not only right for them as people, but right for their property too should they wish to move on.  Edge Building and Leisure have the skills, experience and equipment necessary to supply homeowners with absolutely flawless swimming pools Marlow.

Many of us simply waste our garden space, spending time tending to areas that are neither used nor enjoyed. A swimming pool can transform wasted space into a well used feature that can be enjoyed by the whole family. In fact, a swimming pool adds a touch of class and luxury to a home which is instantly recognisable, as well as contributing additional value to your home.

Here at Edge Leisure, we specialise in pool design and pool installation Marlow, meaning that we can take care of clients from start to finish. The first step is to carry out a comprehensive survey of the area available. While we conduct this survey, we take the opportunity to introduce ourselves and get an impression of your lifestyle and what you require in a pool.

Our designers will then construct a totally bespoke, unique pool design which, if approved, can be installed safely, professionally and within budget – transforming your garden into your very own relaxing resort.

Here at Edge Leisure, we can also install above ground pools for more cost effective solutions – ideal for entire families to enjoy. And with added extras like a free automatic pool cleaner for every below ground installation, we urge homeowners to make the most of their garden with bespoke swimming pools Marlow like ours.

It is difficult to watch television without being subjected to images of glistening pools, positioned just outside of the homeowner’s back door. For many in the UK this may seem like an unobtainable dream, yet we at Edge Leisure have made it our aim to ensure that this is not so. With our specialised construction services for swimming pools Beaconsfield, Oxford and Maidenhead, property owners in Britain can now have their own little piece of holiday paradise in their home.

Our design and construction team are highly skilled in the creation of swimming pools, but most of all they understand the pleasure that the homeowner will experience from having a pool installed in their home and take great care to ensure that it reaches all expectations.

A swimming pool can be used for various different purposes, from exercise to entertaining. As a result of this, our team listen carefully to our client’s requirements ensuring that the pool is completely unique and tailored to their needs.  We will survey the area, taking into consideration space before creating a plan of the proposed construction.

We pride ourselves on providing a one-stop-shop for swimming pool design and construction. Our clients can expect that everything is done in-house. We are even able to complete repairs, maintain the pool and supply some of the products required to keep it in tip-top condition.

In addition to swimming pool construction, we can supply hot tubs Beaconsfield, Oxford and Maidenhead. To ensure that a hot tub is kept clean and hygienic we stock a range of hot tub chemicals on our online shop.
