Requiring speed without sacrificing quality for their project, Hockley Homes specified the Thin-Joint System from H+H and were amazed with the assistance they received from the manufacturer as they produced nine beautiful homes in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

H+H is facing the uncertainties around the Brexit referendum with a resounding vote of confidence in the UK market ﾖ a multi-million pound investment in our Borough Green facility and significant product innovations planned for the year ahead.

Jenny Smith-Andrews, Marketing Manager at H+H, the UKﾒs largest manufacturer of aircrete products and systems, explains the companyﾒs latest move into the self-build market and how this is assisting SME builders.

For decades, a factory in the heart of Yorkshire has been responsible for producing the innovative aircrete blocks that have made their way into thousands of homes throughout the UK.

The widely reported shortage of pulverised fuel ash (PFA) and its impact on the supply of concrete products is affecting individual manufacturers to different degrees.  MD Calum Forsyth outlines the current situation at H+H.

Housebuilders could save up to ?60/m2 on the build cost of a new home. What?s more, the savings are not hard to achieve when you take advantage of the inherent thermal efficiency of Aircrete and use approved aircrete construction details to minimise the energy lost at wall, floor and roof junctions.

Housebuilders could save money on build costs by using aircrete blocks and calculated values for fabric thermal bridges according to research commissioned by aircrete block manufacturer H+H UK Ltd.

H+H's Ra Build method has been used by design and build contractor Canning Ericsson to speed construction of a three-storey apartment block on a confined site in Brighton.

H+H is proud to support architect Parsons + Whittley, shortlisted in the Rural Category of the Passivhaus Trust Awards 2016 for Lime Tree Lodge.

H+H is proud to announce that the H+H Academy is now available online to anyone wishing to learn more about our innovative aircrete material and construction methods.

We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Calum Forsyth as Managing Director of H+H UK. He will succeed Mark Oliver who leaves the company after being at the helm for over 8 years.

In this fast paced world of the internet and social media, it is not very often we hear of people who have spent their lives working in one industry and itﾒs even more unusual when they have worked for the same client.  That, however, is exactly what Mick Woolard did and has now proudly clocked up 50 years doing it.

H+H knows the importance of delivering cost effective and energy efficient solutions for clients.  That?s why it has stepped up the offering for small to medium sized (SME) builders and produced the innovative Thin-Joint Package Sale

H+H understands that SME builders are the backbone of the UK construction industry and what better way to support them than by teaming up with the FMB, the UK?s largest trade organisation representing the interests of SME builders.

Many people are well versed in the virtues of Facebook in their everyday life and regularly share, like and follow new content and brand pages. As time goes on, more and more people are using Facebook as a tool for business. There is a lot of expectation for companies to be on social media and they are often trusted more than those that are not.

H+H UK have created a short animation explaining how to build a house using the Thin-Joint system.  The video is approximately four minutes in length and takes you through each step of the build process, from foundations to roof and more. A weatherproof shell is built first, allowing first fix trades access to a dry environment whilst the outside brickwork is being laid. The Thin-Joint Masonry House is a must to see if you are interested in building a home.

H+H?s Thin- Joint System of aircrete blocks and Celfix Mortar is a key element in the construction of a Passivhaus development of 16 semi-detached houses and 12 sheltered accommodation apartments on the Isle of Wight.
