Stelrad Radiators helps Band of Builders project in Bishops Stortford

Stelrad Radiators has built an excellent reputation for its willingness to help charity projects up and down the country and one of the charities it has supported in the past is Band of Builders – a charity that brings together volunteer tradespeople and equipment manufacturers to help out people in the trades who are having a hard time.

The latest project that has benefitted from the donation of Stelrad Radiators is one in Bishops Stortford for a couple that have had more than their share of challenges in recent times. Mike and Christine found themselves with a home that needed a lot of work doing but which Mike, a retired builder was unable to complete himself after a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis and a heart issue. His wife has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s – and they were living in an unsafe caravan on the property with no prospect of getting back into their home. Eventually after trying his best, Mike had to reach out for help.

Band of Builders exists for exactly these circumstances and they decided to take on the project with the aim of getting Mike and Christine back into their home before Christmas. Amongst the manufacturers they approached for help was Stelrad and the leading radiator manufacturer agreed to supply the ten Compact radiators needed to share heat around the renovated home.

When the project began it was virtually a shell of a home. Mike had begun the work but run into problems soon afterwards. There was no roof on part of the house, no ceilings, parts of the floor were missing, bare brick walls, no plumbing or electrics and an unsafe staircase. The heating system needed replacing too which is where Stelrad’s help came in.

A team of volunteer builders started working on the house on 1st November and in just 23 days had renovated the whole house giving Mike and Christine a beautiful new, safe and warm home to move into well in time for Christmas.

Tracey Healey is the Project Lead for Band of Builders: “Thanks to Stelrad the ten radiators donated will keep Mike and Christine warm over the winter months in their beautifully renovated home. We can’t thank Stelrad enough for being part of this project and helping to get Mike and Christine home for the festive season.”

“We’re delighted to have been able to help in a small way towards getting this couple back into a safe and warm environment in time for Christmas,” says Stelrad Marketing Director Chris Harvey. “We are one hundred per cent behind the Band of Builders and their activities, bringing together the very best from the trades to help those who are or have been working in the business and fallen on hard times. We applaud the efforts of all the tradespeople who have given their time for free to carry out the work that needed doing and hope that Mike and Christine will benefit from the warmth shared around their renovated home by our radiators for many years to come.”
