 Location is a prime driver when developers buy local, but the trade-off may be disadvantages such as lack of services such as mains gas. To overcome this, award-winning South Wales developer, Grove Developers (Mumbles) Ltd, turned to Calor to provide the heating solution at its exclusive development in Camarthenshire.
Based in Swansea, the company has just completed the Brynglas development in Carmarthenshire, where 10 properties have been supplied with Calor LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) from 1,200 litre tanks and 4X47kg cylinder packs. And since this initial installation, the team at Grove Developers was so impressed with Calor that it has since specified the fuel for a further development of 40 homes in Gilfach-y-Gog, Carmarthenshire.
Martin Perkins of Grove Developers Ltd, comments: “We have established a strong reputation for building innovative and energy efficient new homes. We chose Calor as the tanks do not detract from the visual appeal of our properties and the cleanliness and versatility of the fuel has great appeal to our buyers.”
Winner of five awards, including two gold awards for the Daily Express Housebuilder of the Year, Grove Developers Ltd has been building properties in attractive rural areas located off mains gas, for over three years.
Martin continues: “When considering fuel, there was only one type in my mind. We know that house buyers’ look for the comfort and instant heat delivered by gas and we are not prepared to compromise – we want to deliver the best, which is why Calor LPG fits the bill.
“Calor LPG was chosen because it can be used exactly like mains gas, the fuel is versatile and simple to install. And in the three years I have been dealing with Calor the product and service has been efficient and helpful. Tanks are installed during build, which is a great advantage for us as it means no delays.
“Feedback from our buyers has also been very positive – they prefer to cook on gas - and confirms that we made the right fuel choice.”
Installer Colin Whitecross of Killay, Swansea believes the attraction of Calor lies in its ease of installation. Colin has been working with Grove Developers Ltd for twenty years and is responsible for all heating installations for the company.
LPG has clear advantages for both the consumer and installer/developer. More than 100,000 homes throughout the UK have discovered this fact and use Calor – the UK’s largest supplier of LPG – to provide exactly the same level of comfort and versatility as mains gas.
