Dales Aluminium Building Products have reported a significant increase in specifications for their eaves systems in Scotland which is a result of positive marketing and having a Scot representing them in the region.

In England and Wales the company say their success is underpinned by a nationally based preferred installer network who, themselves, are profiting by referred opportunities to main contractors seeking skilled operatives.


In Scotland, due to the distances involved, the English based installers are reluctant to travel which leaves a vacuum waiting to be filled by Scottish trades who are likely to be involved in roofing, cladding and eaves related matters.

Dales man in Scotland, George Brownlie, said: "There are excellent opportunities for subcontractors who want to add value to their packages and expand into more prestigious building types."

Dales will welcome any subcontractors who are interested.
