weatherboards in the colour
Riverstone were chosen for the
new cladding of the renovated
St Heliers home. These were
supplied and installed by Tony
Hodge and his team. The boards
are pre-finished, so they never need
painting – they come with a 25-year
guarantee. Smoky blue bands
around the balconies and matching
posts reinforce the contemporary
aesthetic.
boards is another plus. Made
from specially formulated
uPVC, the weatherboards
are quick and easy to install,
which saves on labour costs.
Other benefits include high
strength and impact resistance
– Palliside won’t crack, rot or
warp.
Carlton John says Scarbro’s
extensive experience in commercial
construction
was
invaluable for this project, due

to the challenging nature of
the job.
“We are able to call on the
expertise and experience of the
Scarbro group of companies to
provide the necessary support
for more challenging projects,
and this was a very complex
residential build,” he says.
“The existing structure
had to be supported while
the new building was constructed under and around the
original house. We also had to
underpin the existing house to
strengthen the structure, and
prop it up while we worked on
the new building.”
Other challenges included
the steep driveway, and the
need to protect a mature tree at
the rear of the property.
John says that throughout
the process, Scarbro employed
its own workforce, in order to
achieve a high level of finish.
