Hazlemere wins Two Awards
Hazlemere Commercial, a major Division of the Hazlemere Group have been recently awarded the prestigious Quantal Award for their Lane End School installation, which they carried out in 2008 at a Primary School in Edmonds Road, Lane End, High Wycombe, Bucks.
Quantal awarded Hazlemere the 2008 Commercial Installation of the Year Award in the education sector category for this Bucks school project which involved the construction of a new entrance lobby with a bespoke aluminium Quantal glazed roof to increase security and management of pupils, staff and the school’s many visitors and tradesfolk.
Hazlemere Commercial projects delivered this improvement scheme on time and on budget during the school summer holidays in 2008, despite discovering difficult ground conditions, when an unusually high water table was exacerbated by unseasonably wet weather. When excavation works commenced water was discovered “flowing” underneath the existing school building.
These unexpected working conditions were overcome in conjunction with Wycombe District Council Building Control and Buckinghamshire County Council’s principal surveyor for the district’s schools. Hazlemere Commercial’s operatives had to fit specialised drainage beneath the lobby concrete floor, to allow the excess water to drain away to soakaways.
Hazlemere Commercial are on the Buckinghamshire County Council’s approved list of suppliers and were selected by Lane End Primary School for this project following discussions with Bucks County Council, given their proven track record as manufacturers and installers of bespoke aluminium glazing systems. The double glazing products used on this award winning project involved Sapa Dualframe 75 aluminium casement windows, Sapa 202 aluminium commercial entrance doors and a Quantal glazed aluminium roofing system.
During February 2009, Hazlemere Conservatories were also advised they had been adjudged the Quantal Regional Installer of the Year for 2008 for their numerous bespoke aluminium conservatory installations utilising the Quantal conservatory roofing system throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Oxfordshire. Hazlemere Conservatories, independent manufacturers and installers of aluminium windows, doors and conservatories since 1985 were thrilled to receive this award, endorsed by Richard Hulbert, General Manager of Quantal Conservatory Roofing Systems.
Tony Beale, Sales Director of the Hazlemere Group commented “To have won two prestigious awards within a week for the quality of our fabrication and installation of double glazed aluminium roofing systems throughout 2008 is a testimony to the calibre of our experienced fabricators and craftsmen, both on our factory floor and on site, who collectively deserve the recognition that Quantal have seen fit to kindly bestow upon us. The Hazlemere Group is very much a team effort from our consultants to our surveyors, fabricators and fitters, they all deserve praise for maintaining the high standard of workmanship that has made Hazlemere such a highly successful family business.”
