T R Freeman wins another contract on £65m London housing scheme

T R Freeman has won a second contract on a major housing regeneration scheme in London.

The architectural metal roofing and cladding company has been awarded £100,000 of work on phase four of Stonebridge, by contractors Countryside.

In 2007 T R Freeman worked on a £500,000 project on the estate, installing roofs made with a mix of Kalzip, stainless steel and copper.

In this new contract, the company will be installing Kalzip roofing together with stainless steel cladding echoing the theme of the previous phases.

The project, in Harlesden, London, is a major regeneration project with 552 homes already built in the first three phases.

Gary Webb, Managing Director of T R Freeman, said: “Repeat work is always very special to us as it proves we did a great job the first time round.

“I’m delighted we can work with Countryside again and look forward to many future projects together.”

T R Freeman has been in Cambridge since being formed more than 120 years ago and is now part of the well-known Kershaw Group.

The group employs 183 people with a turnover of £35 million.

It is heavily involved in the local community, including a sponsorship of Cambridge United’s away shirts.
