NHBC Statement

The National House Building Council has allowed TOPSOIL to use the following statement: "British Sugar TOPSOIL can help builders meet the requirements of NHBC Standards, Chapter 9.2 'Drives, paths and landscaping', for topsoil"
We are very proud to have achieved this from them which follows a number of property construction projects where Landscape20 has been used very successfully.

NEW ...

TOPSOIL is exhibiting at the NHBC seminar events.

We're participating in the 2011 NHBC seminar series 'Building for Tomorrow' aimed at all those involved in house building. There are nine events across the UK starting in early March through to early April. Subjects to be covered include changes to energy standards and building regulations plus the NHBC will be relating its experience and knowledge on claims, gathered from across the industry to minimise defects and reduce costs.

In addition to exhibiting at all the events, Andy Spetch is giving a presentation at the BRE Watford venue on the 6th April.

We now know what you think of us...!

We recently engaged the market research company B2B International to undertake a study of the UK topsoil market and establish how well we're doing in satisfying customers' needs.  The results were very interesting and, in particular, satisfying to us as a business  -  it seems that you feel we're doing a good job.  However, this has not made us complacent; quite the contrary  -  we're determined to forge ahead in developing our business and especially customer service.
