Unfortunatley the standard rate of VAT returns to 17.5% on the 1st of January 2010, so to take advantage of the current 15% level and book us early. Unfortunatley all works undertaken from January onwards will require the charging of VAT at the full 17.5% rate, any previous costs calculated using a 15% rate will be re-worked with an additional 2.5%.
We have recently become members of the Natural Paving Products (UK) LTD Approved Installer scheme.
Snapdragon has been consistently using Natural Paving Products since we first discovered them, around 4 years ago, because of their uniformity and high quality finishes. Their products are further backed up by a friendly and very informative sales office who have been a pleasure to work with.
Natural Paving representatives have made quite alot of vistits to us inthe past year, showing us new product samples and having a sneaky glance at some of the work we’ve been completing with their products. After seeing our projects were completed to a suitably high sstandard they decided to put us on thier reccommendation list, the Approved Installer Scheme.
One of our most recent projects in Leicestershire required th euse of a Highly durable, high quality deck board. The answer was ECODEK, composite decking timber that looks just like hardwood, in the right colour pallette, but is made out of plastic milk bottle tops and recycled wood chip! This innovative new decking product was as easy to use as normal softwood decking if not slighty easier. It also had an added incentive for us to use as ECODEK is a partially recycled product helping us as a company to reduce our carbon footprint.

One day we recieved a phonecall from a leading high street brand called GANT. At first we thought they might have got the wrong number but as it turned out they were looking for a company that would be able to design and construct an indoor pavement or “sidewalk.” It was quite a task as the project was not something we had ever considered. Mainly due to the 3rd floor office location and requirement for a night time installation. But hey we like a challenge so in we went!
Once completed we were praised for our clean efficient and “no hassle” way of working as we were able to keep dust and dirt to an absolute minimum. The finished sidewalk looked great especially once a full scale urban backdrop was placed behind on the wall and several very fashionably dressed mankins had been placed in situ. Overal a very convincing final product, although we did have to pop back several months later to rip it up and cart it back down the stairs.
