RTL Group
Award winning contractors!
The IMA Awards, Manchester November 2023
We were proud to have been presented with three awards at the IMA Awards in Manchester.
We were given a 'Highly Commended' award for our project involving the removal of RAAC on a John Lewis distribution centre in Killingworth, You can read more about this on our 'Portfolio' page.
We won an award for the 'Eco Active' Noxite installation at John Lewis in Kingston upon Thames alongside an award for the 'Installation Team of the Year' on this same project.
We are so proud for the team to be recognised in this way and it is fully deserved for the hard work they have all put in this year on all projects.
Bungalow renovation complete!
This renovation project in the Vale of Glamorgan is now complete.
The house was in desperate need of modernisation and upgrades to the bathroom and kitchen. In order to bring this beautifully located property back to life we built an extension at the rear which allowed us to increase the size of both bedrooms and add an en suite to the master. A full mechanical and electrical upgrade was carried out and under floor heating was installed throughout. We removed a wall between the lounge and kitchen allowing us to create an open plan living space, installed a new kitchen complete with all appliances and added french doors for easy access to the newly laid outdoor decking area. A new bathroom, ensuite shower room and flooring completed the renovation internally.
Externally landscaping was carried out installing composite decking areas and creating raised beds. The property itself had cladding installed along with some painting to bring the dull exterior back to life.
You can watch the full video on our Facebook and LinkedIn sites, links at the bottom of the page.
Siphonic Drainage Services
We design, supply, install and maintain siphonic drainage systems
A Siphonic Drainage System works to prevent water ingress by draining away rainwater much more efficiently than traditional drainage systems that rely purely on gravity.
RTL will undertake a survey to identify whether siphonic drainage system is present within a building, if it is we can then determine if a full investigative survey and test of the system is required as well as provide remedial works and ongoing maintenance.
Bungalow Renovation
Work is well underway on this whole house renovation in the Vale of Glamorgan.
This two bedroom bungalow was in need of renovation throughout.
We have added an extension to the rear to create more space within the two bedrooms, enough to add an ensuite to the master.
The wall between the kitchen and lounge has been removed to create a modern open plan living space. A new kitchen with breakfast bar is being installed with French doors to an outside decking area.
The main bathroom has been upgraded with a large walk-in shower.
A full electrical upgrade and decoration throughout will completely transform this bungalow!

John Lewis

Work has started on a project at this John Lewis site in Kingston-upon-Thames, south-west London.
This project involves us stripping the existing roof and laying a new tapered insulation waterproofing system. Alongside this we are also installing some safety handrails, performing drainage clearance and cleaning all other roof areas of vegetation.
We started this project in November 2022 and we expect to be completed in the Spring of 2023

Car sharing and online team meetings help us to reduce our carbon footprint with all of these projects spread across the UK.
Whole house renovation
August was a busy month as we completed work on this whole house renovation in a Cardiff suburb. This project involved adding a dormer loft conversion, building extensions on the ground and first floor, creating extra bedrooms and bathrooms to turn this terraced house into a multiple occupancy residence. The house had a full mechanical and electrical re-configuration, re-roofing works and full decoration including fitted kitchen and bathrooms.

May has been another productive month with projects completing and progressing
Following on from our April update we have now completed works at Afan College and the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend.
Princess of Wales hospital was a full profiled metal roof replacement
Afan College was an overlay of the existing roof with new roof lights and vents
Work is also progressing well on our full house refurbishment in Cardiff. Extensions and loft conversions are in place, freshly plastered walls have now been painted and the bathrooms are starting to be installed!
From homes to hospitals!
April was a busy month with a variety of projects on the go.
Waitrose in Norwich is nearing completion, Afan college roof is halfway through the programme, work has just started at the Princess of Wales hospital in Bridgend and we are busy with the whole house renovation in Cardiff. Thankfully mother nature was mostly on our side with plenty of blue skies!
Working towards being a carbon neutral company!
We are proud to have started our journey to becoming a carbon neutral company
All three of our Directors are passionate about protecting the environment and enjoy spending time outside with their families. As part of a long term goal to become Carbon Neutral we have taken part in a verified carbon reduction project which plants trees in the UK to offset our carbon emissions. We are also taking other steps, as detailed on our Social Responsibility page, to reduce our carbon footprint. Sometimes the little things can help to make a big difference!

The before shots certainly show the work that was needed, however we are delighted with the progress so far!
DIY SOS: The Big Build
In association with Icopal, our team helped out on a home renovation for a family in Monmouth.
We were proud to support a DIY SOS project in Monmouth for a family in need of some extra space. Charlotte was recovering from a stroke and needed extra space to accommodate a place for her to carry out her physiotherapy at home. A two storey extension was planned and we were happy to help out along with the other 100 volunteers from across Wales. Products were supplied by Icopal.
