This page : Palliside Traditional 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 .
