Out now –third edition of FTMRC
Guide to Good Practice
One of the principle objectives
of the Federation of Traditional
Roofing Contractors is to improve
the workmanship standards
of installation and widen the
technical design knowledge
necessary to protect the integrity
of an installation.
The FTMRC was therefore
determined to collate and publish a
comprehensive technical Guide to
Good Practice in Fully Supported
Metal Roofing and Cladding, which
was first published in 2007 and
updated in 2012.
In 2018 an even better, much
extended and improved third
edition is now available in
laminated hardback and in digital
format suitable for PCs, laptops,
tablets and smartphones.
Containing over 120 pages of
technical information, more than
150 illustrations, plus tables,
charts and full colour photographs,
this essential guide for designers
and installers is set out in tabbed,
easy-to-read sections which cover
the general detailing requirements
for aluminium, copper, galvanised
and stainless steel, and zinc
roofing and cladding.

Abandoned hospital
given luxurious lease of life
A former 19th century hospital in Stafford has been restored to become a
collection of luxurious apartments.
Previously “St George’s County Asylum”, the grade II listed building on
Cooperation Street opened in 1818 and housed 1,000 patients before
finally closing in 1995. Following 20 years of neglect, the building was in
disrepair with crumbling floors and walls, until work started in 2015.
The building has now been transformed by Shropshire Homes, into a
collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and renamed St
George’s Mansions.
The house builder was keen to preserve the history of the hospital and
maintain the Georgian architecture. To ensure this, they worked closely
with leading roof tile manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles, who has extensive
experience in restoration projects and pitched roofing.
The technical team at Russell Roof Tiles has spent many years creating
an authentic collection of roof tiles which replicate original tiles, but with
all the properties that you would expect from modern materials.
Russell Roof Tiles is a leading independent roof tile manufacturer
providing products for leading UK house builders and high-profile
social housing and commercial projects, where sustainability and eco-
credentials are the utmost priority.

The manufacturer supplied 20,000 of its Lothian tiles in Slate Grey to re-
roof the building. The modern material replicated the look of the building’s
original natural slate tiles, whilst providing the sustainable benefits of
concrete.
The Lothian tiles form part of Russell Roof Tiles’ Natural Range - an
expanding selection of thinner leading edge interlocking concrete tiles.
When laid, the tile gives the appearance of a small format tile with the
commercial benefit of a larger format tile.
