Reprotec has been shortlisted for the small industrial project of the year award at the 2016 awards ceremony for FeRFA, the resin flooring association.

County Durham-based Reprotec in collaboration with Altro, a premium flooring provider, has been shortlisted for its work with Peterlee-based Walker Snack Foods. The award, which is sponsored by Huntsman Polyurethanes UK Ltd, looks to identify excellence in resin flooring in industrial projects, which cover less than 500m².

Over the past 5 years, Reprotec have been supporting Walker Snack Foods with resin flooring, liquid applied roof membranes and hygienic walling solutions. The project, for which Reprotec has been shortlisted, saw the company provide Walker Snack Foods with a breadth of services and expertise from problem identification and site surveying to the installation of Altro Flexi-flow plus, a sustainable flooring which covered 270 sq. metres over three floors. This method took approximately 50% less time and had a 40% cost saving compared to other methods previously used. Click here to read more >

Reprotec provides the perfect solution for a worn out painted floor at Royal Mail workshops.

The Royal Mail’s Team Valley maintenance workshops had been painted for many years by the postal staff. Layers of paint had been allowed to build up across the 1000m² area over the years and was now posing more of a hazard than a benefit. The painted floor was dangerous with uneven areas of missing paint causing trip hazards and oil contaminating the surface was making the concrete slippery. The specification required the removal of the existing coatings and two coats of Tough Epoxy Resin.

Reprotec UK gained countrywide recognition as National Trainer of the Year at the high profile Resin Flooring Association (FeRFA) Awards last week. The ceremony which was held at an annual dinner in Stratford recognised the Durham based company’s commitment to its staff with regards to training, development and achievement. Reprotec achieved Investors in People in 2006 and aimed to achieve the new NVQ Level 2 for resin flooring in 2007. Five staff members were put forward for this and, commendably, all five gained the qualification in June 2007. In a typical show of commitment to its staff the company has also signed up to the new FeRFA Apprenticeship Scheme and promotes individual employee development. Two staff members have achieved CITB Site Safety Management certificates and all resin flooring operatives have achieved H&S passports for working within the Petro Chemical industry. This commitment to staff development and training did not go unnoticed and the judges for the awards ceremony felt that Reprotec’s commitment to staff development made them worthy winners of the award.

Managing Director John Holmes of Reprotec was delighted that the efforts of the company and its staff did not go unnoticed;

“It was an honour to receive this award on behalf of all the Team at Reprotec UK Ltd. It’s great to think our efforts are being recognised Nationally especially as a small Business representing not only our Industry but the North East both of which we are very proud’’.

Epoxy resins have been with us a long time now, but in everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo, to innovate and to continually improve, to strive to not just meet, but to exceed expectations. Reprotec Material Sales are now able to offer these products through the website to Industry Nationwide, so that factory managers, works engineers, facility managers and specialist manufacturers can utilise their own workforce to carry out planned and reactive maintenance. Thus making significant cost savings in these difficult times. We believe in these Products everyday.    We trust in these Products everyday. We use these Products everyday. Now you can too.

Safe contractor was initially developed as a bespoke project for a property management client who wished to outsource the vetting of contractors on its approved list. Interest shown by other clients identified the potential for a standardised system that could be offered to the whole of the company’s client base.

In 1999 Supplyline was born. After further development the product was expanded to provide web based access to its clients and was rebranded as SafeContractor in 2003. It is awarded only to Contractors who can demonstrate the highest levels of Health and Safety systems. Reprotec gained their accreditation in May 2012.

Reprotec UK Ltd and 3M have signed an agreement to accept them as an approved contractor within their national network to install the full range of Liquid Applied Roofing Systems. The network was set up by 3M to ensure that only specialist contractors with the correct skills and experience to be able to meet and maintain the 3M Quality Standards would be accredited. This enables rock solid warranties to be given to the client.

Managing Director, Mr. John Holmes stated:

“This is a tremendous achievement by Reprotec to have gained this accreditation, as one of only a few companies nationally. This has been achieved by our commitment to continuous improvement, through regular training, quality audits and a committed and dedicated workforce. We have completed many successful projects over a number of years.

“It allows Reprotec to add the extensive range of the 3M Skotchkote portfolio of products to their range of specialist products.”

Reprotec UK Ltd received the ultimate recognition from the resin industry when it was awarded Project of the Year presented before a capacity audience at the FeRFA (The Resin Flooring Association) 40th Anniversary Celebration Dinner on 19 November at the Forest of Arden Hotel. The award was presented to contractors Reprotec and manufacturer Altro Floors for the North Tyneside Area Command HQ in Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne – a new 23 million pound development incorporating office facilities, custody suite and police headquarters serving the local community.

The striking, landmark building was modern and contemporary in design but the construction was of modular build – a unique method of construction for projects of this type. This brought about difficulties with dampness and preparation as well issues with the application and detailing of ceilings, walls and floors and adjoining sections.

The FeRFA judges chose this as the winning project because of the way the contractor and manufacturer had worked very closely with the client and main contractor to agree a variety of finishes to fit within budget, programme and difficult working conditions. New application techniques were adopted to apply the resin systems as both flooring and vertical applications. Feedback from client is excellent in terms of quality of service received and the quality of the installation which is easy to clean, very durable and looks decorative. From design stage through to handover, a true partnership of client and specialist contractor working together.
