Measuring and estimating made simpleOfficially established in 2010,
QuickScale is an award winning programme designed for taking areas and measurements off pdf drawings. Simple, user friendly and competitively priced, the system was created for those who work from home with limited PC knowledge or with no access to IT departments.
It was originally invented for the needs of the building and construction industry, but, over the years has become extremely popular with ship building and marine insurance, event planning, CCTV and communications – any business that would calculate
areas and measurements from a pdf drawing or photograph.
In previous years, drawings were posted out to the subcontractor and measured with a scale rule. Today, drawings are emailed as a pdf and are not always to scale or don’t have
any scale at all. They have to be sent to a printer or 3rd party to have them printed to scale and this happens every time the drawings are revised or amended. With QuickScale, you simply open the pdf in QuickScale and click on the points and corners of the areas and dimensions to calculate them.
For more information on QuickScale and how it can benefit you, contact the company on: +44 (0)7791 550167, email: [email protected] or visit the website at: www.quickscale.co

Rungbuddy Limited has highlighted an accident black spot at the transition point on extension ladders, and with an OSHA report showing death has occurred at this point. Rungbuddy has patented a Safety Rung to widen the first single rung down, allowing a safer angle of descent. The foot gains over 100% more landing space at this transition point eliminating that ‘front of foot connection.’ For ladders of 350mm (13 ¾inch) and 452mm (18 inch) widths, a reverse screw clamp holds it securely in place, the toggle bar stays in one position, it does not protrude from the unit. As a plus, Rungbuddy Safety Rungs have the added ability of being used as a comfort platform, able to fit to any shaped rung on any ladder, even in various positions between stiles. A press button spring loaded Universal model is also now available, able to fit all ladders up to 482mm (19ins) wide.

Pest Control News Health & Safety NewsThe Leaders in Cable SafetyHealth and safety is the most important
aspect for any business, particularly when it comes to the building and construction industry, a manual segment whereby working environments are rife with potential hazards.
Trailing cables are a key example of this, as it is most apparent that these components are, in essence, an accident simply waiting to happen. Because of their low placement these cables are easy to fall over, and as slips and trips are one of the most common causes of injury in the workplace (accounting for, on average, 40% of all reported major incidents), the caution surrounding these objects has increased somewhat.
A solution is available in the form of a specialised support system strategically developed by cable safety expert Skyhook GB. Incorporating a unique design that is also patented, the Skyhook Cable Safety System can be easily attached to the majority of materials anywhere. Large loops enable employment on ceiling grids, joints, scaffold poles and doors, meaning they can be hung up neatly out of harm’s way, and with its two small holes, the
item can be easily attached to overhead fixings or wall fixings with a small screw.
An additionally useful feature is its unique offset – its somewhat twisted structure ensures seamless connection to a wall, and the cables can be fitted into place whilst the loops stand proud with high visibility. Although a simple piece of equipment, the product is effective in safeguarding workplaces against tripping hazards (caused by the positioning of trailing cables).
The Skyhook Cable Safety System has been verified by the Health and Safety Commission and has done exceedingly well ever since its release. Success has soared and the innovative tool has been purchased by more than 150 businesses throughout the UK and beyond – its customer base includes some of the biggest players in the construction sector.

been used by practically every professional pest control company and council facility situated in the UK and across Europe. They are sold and distributed across the world and to ensure a speedy service they carry large stocks of each product at their distribution warehouse in Devon.
Customers can therefore rest assured that should they require a solution, it will be available to them once an order is placed – this is supported with the added convenience of same day dispatch (offering, essentially, a next day delivery service the majority of the time).

The Experts in BrickmakingBoasting over a staggering 80 years of
brick making experience and excellence, the Bulmer Brick and Tile Company Ltd has been deservedly recognised by our team for achieving the coveted status as our Restoration Company of Choice.
The small yet successful family run business uses its expertise in the brickmaking specialism to provide dedicated building
restoration and rejuvenation services. Having completed projects of all sizes and complexities, the respectable specialists have the capability to conduct work on properties both large and small.
This extensive knowledge of building structures is the result of decades of industry involvement. The Bulmer Brick and Tile Company story began in 1936 when the Minter family invested in a brickyard near the Essex and Suffolk border and concentrated their activity on the manufacture of specialist bricks for the restoration of buildings after the war.
The business has been under three generations of Minter ownership and was most recently managed by Peter Minter. The progressive course the organisation took led to the broadening of its service offering over the years, which in turn attracted a large range of clients. The core focus, however, remained centred on its traditional method of brickmaking and it is this refined skill that has enabled the firm to become a widely appreciated and trusted solution provider.
Now recognised for its competency in producing bespoke bricks especially for
individual customer requirements, the Bulmer Brick and Tile Company produces an impressive number of 300,000 bricks on an annual basis and is proud to have served both large enterprises and small, private clients.
The group incorporate conventional techniques of brickmaking and have used the particular type of process that dates back to the Middle Ages ever since their foundation.
The bricks they produce are made from the finest quality London clays and have been developed using old-fashioned yet effective modes of making and drying. They are then fired in a coal burning, down draught kiln, as this enables a well-blended finish that is both distinctive and aesthetically attractive.
Because of its familiarity and understanding of this niche, the Bulmer Brick and Tile Company has the information and resources needed to supply suitably adjusted products and amenities to its many customers. Its all-encompassing range consists of facings and specials that can be designed with any texture to any size. There are more than 5,000 shapes available, and this includes everything from standard plinths, squints and copings to custom-made chimney bricks, terracotta, mullions, jambs, floor bricks, pamments, decorative plaques, garden edgings and rubbing blocks.
The highly skilled brickmaking specialists are proud to offer a personalised level of customer service and do their utmost to ensure every request is met as efficiently and professionally as possible. A consultative approach is employed to ensure the individual is kept fully supported and updated throughout the entire
process, and everything is addressed with careful consideration and attention to detail.
The need for restoration is continual – many historic buildings are positioned across the width and breadth of the UK, all of which need to be preserved and maintained in order to ensure ongoing function and admiration. Thousands of properties have been enhanced with Bulmer’s bespoke brickwork – find out how you can make a difference to the look of your building by contacting the company today.

Bulmer Brick and Tile Company is a long established family business on the site of a brick making yard dating back centuries. Bulmer bricks are made from the finest London Clays, dug continually from our own clay seams since Tudor times. All our bricks are entirely hand made using traditional methods. We specialise in restoration and conservation of old buildings; working closely with architects and contractors to produce our facing brick to the specification required for your particular building. Although we aim to have a stock of the more common sizes, dimensions and texture are made to order, so that each building receives the correct brick for the work. The kilns are unique coal fired down-draught kilns, loaded, unloaded and fired by hand in a long and labourious process, ensuring each and every brick has had our personal attention. No artificial colours, tints or dyes are used in our process. The beautiful range of colours from orange to dark red and purple comes purely from the firing process, just as it would have been over the centuries.
We make a huge variety of brick specials, including terracotta, plinths, squints, decorative chimney bricks, string course bricks and over 500 different types of coping which increases on a weekly basis. All the specials are moulded from wooden moulds, which are made in our own carpentry workshop.
We also have a range of garden edging and decorative plaques depicting floral patterns, some of which are made from original moulds over 100 years old.
We have our own brick cutting workshop where we can create cut and rubbed arches, either loose or on steel lintels ready to lift into position, and can cut specials or cut and bond from customer supplied material. Our own clay is prepared by a variety of methods to produce a BBT Fully Washed Rubber for use in fine Georgian Rubbed work and in other grades that can be easily cut and rubbed on site if required.

Martrust Ltd is an
office letting company based at the Riverside Business Park in Conwy with additional premises in Colwyn Bay and St. Asaph. Ever since its establishment 15 years ago it has been providing office space for rent, attracting both start-ups and large enterprises employing up to 30 people.
The site is home to a multitude of organisations and is currently occupied by – to name a few examples – professional service providers, IT & media specialists, scientists, consultants and representatives of the public sector. These businesses are attracted to the property not only for its great placement in North Wales but also because it boasts plenty of parking space (facilitating 80 cars) and is accessible on a 24 hour, 7 day week basis.
The offices vary from 88sq.ft. to 914sq.ft. and have excellent travel links because of their desirable location close to the A55 trunk road, which provides fast entry to the UK motorway network (and Ireland). Commuting is made easy as the mainline train station with London is just three hours away, and Liverpool and Manchester can be reached within the space of an hour. Airports in these areas are also straightforward to get to and the building is a mere five minutes away from the new Welsh Assembly Government regional offices at Llandudno junction.
“Partnering with Martrust is advantageous because we can offer customers extremely pleasant surroundings and dedicated internet and broadband services,” Jean Barlow, Manager of Martrust Ltd, told the editorial team at Industrial Solutions. “There is also the option for clients to use the conference room, which is available free of charge. In addition to this our offices are in an ideal location which allows for easy access to the whole of North Wales.”
The ultrafast broadband connection is one of the key benefits of Martrust’s office space. The group have invested heavily in the internet facilities at the complex and as a result all of the rooms are enabled with a fully functional leased line (fibre) broadband connection with 50MB downstream/50MB upstream.
This makes the technical side of operations simpler – connecting straight away means it isn’t necessary to wait around for a time-consuming installation from Openreach. Phones and broadband connections are set up the same way and are immediate, so you can get your team working as soon as possible and their resources running with great efficiency and minimal effort.

Facilitating Individual Embroidery RequirementsPS Monograms has been duly selected
as a business worthy of acquiring our sought after Commitment to Excellence profile, we are pleased to announce at Building Update. We are therefore pleased to inform our readers about the works of this dedicated and customer oriented organisation with a detailed company profile.
Embroidery and personal services are the main areas of activity for PS Monograms, a forward-thinking enterprise that was originally set up in Bristol by co-founders Dave, Daphne and a third partner. Now based in Devon, specifically situated in Seaton, its establishment came as the result of three entrepreneurial types with a shared goal: to develop a business
that would be extensively recognised for its works in textiles.
Its focus is primarily on the customisation of different clothing items, tailoring garments for a
relatively focused target market. Although niche, its client base has diversified across the years and the
company is now pleased to facilitate a large pool of customers; namely schools, clubs and small organisations. It is also utilised by medical professionals, uniformed employees (such as nurses and those working within construction), club members and the like.
As well as their dedicated services in the
art of embroidery, the PS Monograms team have the resources and the skills necessary to conduct high quality printing onto different materials. This can be done with purpose to enhance shirts, t-shirts, jackets, hoodies, aprons
and other such pieces of clothing, and, should it be a requirement, imprint logos onto garments to ensure corporate identity. Workwear and specialist clothing can also be purchased from the solutions provider, who has a range of hi-vis vests & coats and hunting apparel (to name a few examples) in stock.
Combining professionalism with personalisation, PS Monograms works in close accordance with the customer to ensure absolute satisfaction and excellence. This is in line with their company motto, ‘serving individuals,’ which emphasises their careful consideration of individual tastes and specifications. For complete clarity and peace of mind all pieces of artwork are assessed by the client beforehand and, once approved, the embroidery process can take place.
This patient and thorough approach has enabled PS Monograms to become a trusted embroidery service provider that is widely appreciated for its dependability and attention to detail. As a result of this the group frequently receive incredibly positive comments from those they have worked with, and thrive off the feedback given to continually succeed – much of their new custom is garnered through word of mouth and recommendations.
Having achieved such status has enabled the company to expand even further with the development of its very own showroom facility. This space has been strategically furnished to attract potential customers and has been equipped with high tech embroidery machinery, sophisticated printing equipment and new computers to allow maximum efficiency of its processes.
If you are keen to find out more, or if you have a particular project you would like PS Monograms to turn their hand to, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with a representative today.

55 Years of Industry ExcellenceThe Flexidisc Sanding system has been sold in the UK
by DA & BE Murkin for almost 30 years, but it still remains one of the most versatile sanders on the market.
The Flexidisc is a system based on an exciting 5” (125mm) disc sander attachment which fits in your drill, and does not jump, skitter or scuff. This is due to a simple but highly efficient flexible shaft which eliminates vibration. It gives full control without the need for effort or expertise when presented full face to the job surface.
This system accomplishes fantastic finishes on all hard materials including wood, metal, glass, fibreglass and car body filler.
Fast rotation allows this quality process to be completed in a fraction of the time normally taken by conventional sanders. Although a generic sander in its basic form, the multi-purpose tool can convert within seconds to become a super-fine finishing sander, bench grinder, sharpener, partial angle grinder, polish applicator and polisher – all of this within a small device that can be carried conveniently in your pocket!
Flexidisc uses ‘slap-on peel-off’ Velcro type discs which are coated with a super-tough material called Corundum, (close to diamond for hardness). Re-usable and cleanable, these discs will do the work of at least 100 conventional discs and are able to comfortably cope with a wide range of materials from soft plaster to iron and steel, including slate, concrete and marble. In addition, they can transform a rough-sawn plank to a polished finish faster than any other conventional sander. Because these discs generate very little heat, they retard over-heating during grinding, therefore can safely sand G.R.P. and old paint without melting the material.
Using this same ‘slap-on’ system, polish is easily applied
over any size area, using the foam sponge, whilst an oversized re-washable polishing cap effortlessly completes the job. This means cars, boats and caravans can be polished, quickly and easily.
DA & BE Murkin are also the sole importers of Le Tonkinois Varnish.
This is an old fashioned varnish, manufactured the traditional way, using Linseed oil, Tung oil & natural resins.
Slower drying than modern varnishes it will not show any brushmarks and will sink into the timber. So remaining flexible, it will move with the timber and not crack or peel.
Le Tonkinois will give a beautiful, long lasting finish to all types of timber, including Teak & Oak.

Exceptional Quality, Affordable Prices
Want the look of a bespoke build for your marketing suite or community project, but need the speed,
convenience and value of pre-fabricated buildings? Then look no further.
You can’t beat the quality, completion time or the architectural appeal of using Losberger modular building systems. We offer architects, developers and designers excellent customisable rental solutions for marketing suites, community spaces and more.
Developers, designers and architects have to deal with a unique circumstance; selling extremely valuable products that don’t exist at the time of purchase, deals are often made on promises. Traditionally architects and developers either commission entirely bespoke builds; which is expensive and time consuming, or opt for basic cabins, cloaked to improve their aesthetic appeal, which rarely meets expectations and design criteria. Losberger provide the best of both worlds; the convenience and speed of modular pre-fabricated buildings, with the appeal and finish of a bespoke design.
Losberger modules are flexible enough to offer contemporary finishes, without the costs and time constraints associated with tailor-made builds. Losberger have been providing modular buildings solutions for almost 100 years, to provide developers with customisable solutions. Losberger’s expertise in this area enable us to deliver projects that are always on time and on budget.
