LABC Warranty's Awards for Excellence have been designed to recognise and reward the hard work of registered developers, builders and site managers who stand out from the crowd in delivering high quality construction and design.

The recognition associated by winning an LABC Warranty Award for Excellence positions developers and house builders at the forefront of building achievement..

To win this award category, building companies associated with the development must demonstrate a high standard in technical competency and build quality, coupled with an ability to demonstrate project management, organisational skills and customer service.

In recognition of our high standards of design, construction and workmanship at The Gateway, we were proud to have been pronounced overall Regional Winner of the category.

Commenting on the award, Michele Rose, Sales Director for Bloor Homes South West said, “No one understands better than Bloor South West, that to turn a house into a home, requires far more than bricks and mortar. It requires a commitment to make additional vital contributions to the communities we create and to the environment as a whole. Which is why we're delighted to have been declared overall winner in this highly competitive category this year. Maintaining the highest standards of building and design excellence is something to which we are fully committed and makes us first choice for new homes in the region”.

The 'LABC Warranty Site Manager of the Year Awards' is a prestigious national competition which focuses on the contribution the site manager makes in producing high quality, new homes.

Only site managers who demonstrate exceptional standards in every aspect of their work on site and in the homes they build are be considered. Experience shows that success also greatly depends on gaining the full support of everyone involved in the build process, creating a culture on site where only the best is good enough.

This is not the first workplace award that Steve has received. Previously he has been awarded the NHBC’s Pride in the Job award on two separate occasions.

Following his success in East Melksham, Steve will very soon be moving to our forthcoming development at Weston Gateway, Weston-super-Mare where the emphasis is on quality mixed with style and value. His experience will be invaluable and he is aiming for a repeat performance.

Scheduled to open in the New Year, Weston Gateway will eventually comprise a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes with prices starting from just £154,950.

Amanda and Steve Bray and family have lived happily in Melksham for several years. Realising that it was time to look for a bigger home and with the children doing well at the local school, the Bray family focussed on a local move. So when Bloor Homes at the Gateway, off Snowberry Lane in Melksham, offered them a fantastic part exchange offer on their current property it was music to their ears!

‘We’d been living just five minutes away’, said Amanda, ‘and were practically growing out of the rafters and had been for some time. So we decided that the time had come to look for something larger. We signed up to RightMove and looked at several houses in the area. But we found that although those properties ticked a lot of boxes, they didn’t tick all of them and it wasn’t until we saw the homes at The Gateway that we knew we’d come to the right place’.

With a house of their own to sell before they could trade up, Amanda and Steve were conscious of the stress, delays, and expense that could be incurred by having to sell their current property themselves. Luckily they quickly realised that their best plan would be to find a developer who could offer them a competitive Part Exchange plan and after speaking to Bloor Homes, it became clear that the Bloor Homes Part Exchange offer would be ideal.

‘Moving house is always going to be stressful, said Amanda, ‘but we’re very aware that the Bloor Homes Part Exchange plan took a lot of the stress, uncertainty and costs out of the process. It really was ideal for us’.

The Bray’s new home is a Didbrook house-type. This large double fronted four bedroom detached home has a spacious lounge, separate study - ideal for doing homework and separate dining area. There’s a fantastic fitted kitchen with breakfast area and utility off. An archway leads through to a delightful family/garden room with french doors opening out onto the rear garden which is perfect for outside entertaining and summer barbeques. All four bedrooms are double bedrooms, and two of them have their own en suite facilities. The master bedroom benefits from a dressing area and bedroom two has fitted sliding wardrobes. A family bathroom and a double garage and parking complete the impressive specification.

‘I absolutely love this house, admits Amanda. It’s big and it’s really well laid out with a huge ground floor. I also like the fact that there are separate rooms where we can have some privacy and I appreciate the fact that all the bedrooms are on the first floor which works better for us with the children. Our garden is really large as well and is great for outside games’
‘And we’ve been really impressed with the quality of the build and with helpful support we get from both the sales staff and the construction team’ added Steve, “in fact on the strength of our experience we’d definitely recommend Bloor Homes to anyone looking for a great home at the right price’.

Prices at the Gateway range from £134,950 for a two bedroom Radleigh coach house to £279,950 for a 4 bedroom detached Shenstone.

For more information on the Gateway at Melksham please telephone on 01225 434000 or call into our sales complex. We are open every day from  10.00am to 5.00pm

Based on the valuations provided, we will make you an offer for your home.

If you accept our offer you can go ahead and, for a fee of £750, you can reserve the new Bloor home of your choice, subject to contract and survey.

Having chosen Bloor Homes 105% Part Exchange we will take the problem of finding a buyer out of your hands, paving the way towards that all-important new home.

Got a house to sell but want to move quickly? Bloor Homes South West has come up with the ideal solution and would like to talk it through with you at two special weekends held this month.

Commenting on the special event weekends, Gina Wilson, regional sales manager said,  

"Just because you've got an existing house to sell, doesn't mean that you've got to put off moving up to a fantastic new Bloor home. We fully appreciate that it can be difficult to sell your current home but we've set out to remedy that situation with our 105% Part Exchange plan which makes it easier than ever for you to make the move right now.

We'll provide you with independent advice and even help you to choose a solicitor to ensure that completion of the purchase of your new home is achieved in an agreed timescale.

We'll also arrange a structural survey of your existing home. Once it's received we will discuss the report with you, and on the basis that it is satisfactory, you can proceed with your purchase - and leave the rest to us, giving you more time to concentrate on moving to your dream home. You won't have to worry about purchasers changing their mind and wasted solicitors fees, or agreeing completion dates with a long house chain - it's just you and Bloor Homes working together to help you move on time, with no stress. As an extra incentive to call in during our special weekend event, we'll make you an offer on your current property within 48 hours subject to a satisfactory homebuyers report."
