Marble Construction Ltd win the 10TH APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR AWARD!
Its official, Marble Construction’s top apprentice, Jamie Manners has been awarded the 10TH APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR AWARD, SOUTHERN REGION by the Federation of Master Builders 2010.
This is such a great personal achievement for Jamie. Everyone at Marble is very proud of his attitude towards his work, his dedication to complete his college apprenticeship and the complete respect he shows our customers and his colleagues.
Jamie completed his NVQ level 2 & level 3 in the same year and achieved very high results by working super hard.
His tutor, Amanda Ash said “I was delighted to hear that Jamie has been nominated for the Apprentice of the year award. What I first recall from meeting Jamie in his first interview was Jamie’s enthusiasm that he glowed with as he showed real genuine interest in a carpentry job and the apprenticeship program. Unfortunately due to the economic climate, the apprenticeship placements available at the time were hard to come by and therefore Jamie did not undertake his 2nd year apprenticeship. It would be some weeks before I first met Marble Construction Ltd.”
“Marble construction contacted Training Enterprise looking for an apprentice. From our first meeting it became clear that they had a real commitment to training young people and agreed to take on three apprentices. I left the meeting and immediately contacted Jamie to arrange for him to meet the team at Marble construction.”
“Throughout the course Jamie worked hard and I always felt he appreciated the opportunity Marble Construction had given him. Whenever there was a unit test or practical assessment Jamie did his best, he never wanted to let anyone down. I believe Jamie has a real future in construction and fully expect to see him employing his own apprentices in the years to come.”
From everyone at Marble, we would just like to take the opportunity to say congratulations for being the regional winner, a huge thank you for continually working hard for us, and good luck for the National FMB award that takes place at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London on March 11th 2011.

Hot water underfloor heating
When extending a property with an extension or loft conversion, underfloor heating is one of the most popular extras that people ask us about.
21st century living has proven that most of our time at home is spent in the kitchen/living area, and with radiators being a thing of the past, Hot water underfloor heating is the definitely the future.
When considering to install underfloor heating, there are two different types of flooring system. For bathrooms with a floor space of up to 8 squared meters, the most common option would be an electric under floor heating system. If the bathroom floor finish is a ceramic tile or stone, a wire matting system would be recommended where as if the floor finish is going to be a solid wood floor finish, an electric foil system would be recommended.
If you are considering a kitchen extension, and the floor space is going to be under 20 squared meters, an electric wire or foil system would also be the recommended system to use however, if you are thinking about installing underfloor heating throughout the whole property or the kitchen/living area is greater than 20 squared meters, then hot water underfloor heating is the right way to go.
Hot water underfloor heating is generally a greater outlay when it comes to the initial installation but the long term running costs will be less than running electric underfloor heating on big floor spaces.
The benefit of hot water underfloor heating is that it runs on a closed circuit travelling to and from the boiler or pressurised heating cylinder via a manifold that pumps the water round the circuit. The cost savings happen compared to electric underfloor heating as we always keep or produce hot water for washing facilities within the home, where as electric underfloor heating has to continually use electricity to heat the matt when its turned on.
Hot water underfloor heating costs approximately £2,500 to £3,500 including VAT for a kitchen area around 20 to 30 squared meters.
Below are a few photos demonstrating a typical hot water installation:-
