I was very sad to receive the news of the passing of a dear old friend Bill Lincoln.

Bill started working with Wilton’s not long after I started in 2006, and for me not having the lagging experience specifically, he was a great bloke to bounce off, and he gave me a lot of advice and support as I was ‘finding my feet’. He delivered many a project for us, but HMP Highdown, he did more or less on his own with his step son Mark.

Over the time he was with us, and aside from having a lot of respect for Bill from a work perspective, he turned from colleague to friend very quickly, and he was very good company.

I’m pleased to say that Bills family also worked with Wiltons, his step sons and grandsons (and one still does), and they are also friends not colleagues, and are a real credit to Bill.

Bill is a loss from the insulation industry, a loss to Wiltons, a loss to Nisia and me personally, and a huge loss to his family.

Bill, I will raise a glass to you me old son, and the world is a worse place for not having your larger than life presence in it.

May You Rest in Eternal Peace.

💔💔❤️❤️

Following the very challenging period that we’ve all just worked through, Wiltons are pleased to report a steady growth in business, with the securing of a number of major thermal, acoustic, and fire rated insulation projects, all of which has meant the necessary strengthening of the team and structure.

Wiltons are therefore delighted to announce the appointment of Steve Brampton as Contracts Manager.

Those involved in our industry will already know Steve, and will therefore also be aware he brings with him a wealth of experience within the H&V insulation sector.

Steve’s character and approach is a perfect fit for the Wiltons ethos and will undoubtedly be an asset to the company in ensuring Wiltons continue to deliver contracts to the highest standard for our customers.

For any H&V insulation requirements please feel free to call Wiltons on 0208 669 3029 and we will be very happy to help.

Walked on to a new flue job this week, and turned out to be a nice coincidence. The building happened to have been renamed but 15 years ago I managed my first job for Wiltons at 1 Moor Lane. Weird to walk through plant areas that I can remember walking down 15 years ago for the same company. I think the cladding looks pretty good, and it might have a few d***s as you’d expect but it’s certainly stood the test of time, which is what I always say about metal - with no disrespect to any other external finishes out there.

The valve mats down the corridor look particularly good, I mean after all, I did put them on 😉

As always Wiltons had a great team of engineers to apply the insulation and cladding, clearly demonstrating the importance of having an engineer with the right training and correct qualifications - there’s no short cut over an apprenticeship and years of industry experience.

Above all, it is very pleasing to see that one of our jobs still looks like this, and we are still here to service your insulation, cladding, trace heating and flue/chimney requirements with experienced and qualified thermal insulation engineers and flue installation engineers.

Please feel free to call us on 02086693029 or email me on [email protected]

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Post regarding Armaflex Tuffcoat on an 80/60 heating system – internal within a school. Insulated services are exposed within corridors, classrooms, science labs, common rooms, etc.

We would like to hear from anyone that has had past experience of this product being installed internally, and ideally on a heating system. We are really struggling to locate a similar project install, although we have been told by the manufacturer that there are ‘many’, third party distribution networks are providing an obstacle for identification. We are really keen to see the performance, quality and longevity of Tuffcoat in operation outside of our own project.

Our own experience has seen issues with expansion and contraction – even outside of the cycling operation of the school heating system, with adverse effects evident even during the summer when the system is obviously turned off.

Having carried out our own investigations, we identified and advised the consultant, that this is not a Class O system as he specified and intended to select, but in fact it is Class E, and to this end, we have expressed our concerns as to the product suitability internally. Due to our own experiences, we would be grateful for feedback from the industry as follows:

1. Can anyone identify a Class E Tuffcoat system on an internal heating application currently in operation that we could inspect?

2. As an installer, did you have challenges installing the Tuffcoat system on this application?

3. Did you/your client have any issues post-install?

4. If a designer/consultant, have you selected this product on the understanding it was a Class O system, and if so when was that?

5. Is anyone aware of any installations in place where it was believed to be a Class O system?

6. Any other comments/advice?

Since gaining knowledge of the reality of the products fire rating, we have not carried out any further work on the system, however the manufacturer has carried out their own benchmark installation in one corridor, and the results can be seen in the photos attached, showing the product after 4 months of the heating in operation. This is the install as completed by the manufacture as a ‘benchmark’ of what we should expect to achieve. Despite significant quantities of glue being used, it is evident the install is still moving significantly, and laps/tape are visibly lifting. We would be interested to get opinions from other contractors/clients or specifiers who have used this product in an internal application, and have experience that we can utilise to learn more about what we believe to be a very complex application and unusual product specification for a system of this nature.

I look forward to comments below, and welcome any direct messages if preferred.

Forgive the light hearted photo, but this was taken during one of our company Christmas 2019 drinks, enjoyed with some of our engineers from site. Little did we know then, whilst celebrating another hard working year, the many challenges that we would all encounter in 2020. Whilst the bigger picture is away from the workplace, the survival of our business at Wiltons and our job security is obviously something we can’t just ignore, and whilst changes have to be made, in the office we have worked hard to get the work in, and once that work is secured, we need a skilled team of engineers on site to execute that work. In the sometimes much maligned thermal insulation trade, at Wiltons we are proud to say we have both directly and self employed correctly qualified skilled engineers undertaking our work, and they turn out a high standard of work. Let’s make no mistake lads, it’s a complete team effort, and Wiltons are navigating through this time with your valuable input.

Office and site working together to deliver.

It is with great sadness that we write to inform the industry of the passing of our great friend and past colleague Roy Tregay.

I personally have known and worked with Roy for over 20 years and in that time we have carried out many major projects over the UK.

Over the years I had run three different contract departments with Roy, and even when he left us, the working association remained strong and we continued to chat regularly and worked together whenever we could.

Roy was a huge asset to every company he worked for, he had extensive knowledge and expertise in a very niche market.

Aside from talking about Roy the Professional, and Roy the Colleague, much more important is Roy the Friend. He was a very special person and will be sorely missed.

Thank you Roy, for everything you did for the companies where we teamed up together, and of course, in particular at Wiltons where all of us here will never forget you.

Rest in peace.
