The Mayfield Group by Epwin PLC

mayfeild pi

  Following the recent acquisition of The Mayfield Group by Epwin PLC, Caravan Industry and Park Operator Magazine asked the former family business what was new for 2023 and what was likely to change, here’s what they had to say… Owners Mike and Debbie Jarmey started the company in 1989 supplying prefabricated steps for Holiday Homes. This quickly grew into platforms and eventually the design and installation of luxury sundecks. Snugs, canopies, ramps and outdoor kitchens are the norm these days as an increasing population choose to enjoy the outdoor life on holiday parks up and down the country. Mayfield remain committed to delivering a superior customer experience underscored with value for money. They are also no strangers to pioneering and setting industry trends and are proud to announce the arrival of two new innovations as they start their journey as part of a larger Group. Dealing from the bottom of the Deck… Mayfield have been fitting sundecks to holiday and residential park homes for 34 years and over that time have used high quality, treated timber to form the supporting subframe. That is until now!  Mindful of the impact deforestation is having on the environment and wanting to provide its clients with a more responsible choice, Mayfield have developed a modular aluminium framing system known as Legacy on which to build its Decks.Designed and manufactured to their own specification, this modular system has been developed to replace timber subframes and supporting structures in their legendary sundecks making them completely timber-free. In making this transition they discovered some interesting facts, for example, for every tree that is cut down a further 20 surrounding trees can be damaged. When hearing these statistics, they were even more determined to make the change and reduce their dependency on timber choosing instead more recyclable products and setting new standards in the industry. Finding a sustainable decking material is not as easy as you’d think, as Mayfield found out. They looked into several materials including composite timber and galvanised steel. After extensive research, aluminium became a clear winner due to its sustainability, availability and cost. Apart from already being made from recycled aluminium which uses 95% less energy than virgin material, it can be recycled infinitely and its reduced weight lowers emissions when transporting. A great deal of thought also went into the design and testing of the profile for the subframes to optimise performance and durability. Aluminium is both strong and lightweight meeting British Standard BS6399 structural load testing. MD Mike Jarmey says that seeing the aluminium subframes in-situ for the first time is “a work of art to be honest. When you see it before it’s decked its almost too good to be covered over in boards. It just looks fantastic!” Fire Rated Mayfield take safety very seriously and one of the challenges they faced when looking at alternative materials was fire resistance. While the product had to be a sustainable alternative to timber, it was important that the materials had to have excellent fire-resistant credentials. This ruled out composite materials early on as they have poor, if any, fire ratings. Legacy Aluminium subframes are completely fireproof and in combination with Mayfield’s Hampton decking, they have a system that is ‘Class 0’ fire rated.  Impervious and rust free Best of all, Aluminium is impervious to moisture and cannot rust, it is also unaffected by insect and fungal attack that other materials suffer from which greatly reduces their lifespan. Mayfield claim that aluminium subframes combined with their weatherproof Hampton decking gives owners a deck that’s built to last, ultra-low to maintain, and fully recyclable at the end of their life. What about the trees? There is a saying that the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. Mayfield think the second-best time is now. Working with their global partner more:trees, Mayfield are planting three new trees for every aluminium deck fitted ensuring they leave a lasting legacy. If you’re tired of looking at unsightly gas bottles stood beside your home or around the park, Mayfield have an answer for that too. Building on their knowledge of aluminium frames and using existing UPVC materials, the company has produced a purpose-built Gas Bottle Cover that personifies form over function. Designed by their engineering team to conceal 2 x 47Kg gas bottles, this unit enhances the look of any holiday home. Weighing less than 23kg, the lightweight construction makes it easy to manoeuvre into position and safely secure using the strap provided.  Inherently safe and strong The robust structure is visually appealing and able to withstand year-round use in all weathers. Quick and easy access to your gas supply is essential especially in an emergency. The clever design not only allows for this but also promotes airflow to prevent the build-up of any escaping gas. The materials are Class 0 Fire-rated giving peace of mind.     Low Maintenance Mayfield’s Gas Bottle Cover is built to last using carefully selected materials which require no maintenance over their lifetime. No more painting or sealing, just the occasional wipe over to keep them clean.  Sustainable products in an array of colours to suit your home Just like their sundecks, they’ve gone timber-free. The aluminium frame is manufactured from recycled material and the panels are made from recycled UPVC. Both can be recycled again at the end of their life with no need for landfill. No matter what colour of home or van you have, there is a colour that will complement it and, in most cases, match the colour of your sundeck and skirting. Available in White, Cream, Slate Grey, Golden Oak, Dark Brown and Forest Green.           Simple self-assembly The unit comes in flatpack with easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams and can be effortlessly assembled by one person in minutes without special tools. Storage is also made easy for Parks wishing to hold stock as the boxes are stackable taking-up less room. The product is covered by a 10-year warranty. To find out

Will adding an eco-friendly surface provide a visually stunning addition to your outside areas?

sureset-pic

The requirement for a fully permeable surface also known as SuDS is increasing. SuDS (Sustainable urban Drainage Systems) is an approach to water management introduced by the Environment Agency in 2011 to help with the quality of our water and manage flood risk. When building a new hardscape or simply renovating existing areas, allowing water to drain through the materials into run off points is an important part to our future landscapes. If a permeable paving is installed onto a typical base such as asphalt (tarmac), the water that passes through a permeable surface can be harvested or cleared into drains or soak-aways, whilst being puddle free. The permeability of a resin bound paving like SureSet allows the water to drain through but  unlike permeable tarmac, resin bound paving comes with a large range of colours and the ability to achieve the most detailed designs and logos making and possibilities endless and achieving a visually stunning surface area. An exciting alternative to traditional hardscape surfaces, Resin Bound Paving is a surface that looks impressive with an even greater advantage of being an easy to maintain surfacing that can cope with a high footfall. It is recommend that you regularly sweep resin bound areas using a stiff broom and pressure wash a few times a year to keep its outstanding appearance. Importantly their paving products are manufactured in the UK and their installations are backed by a 21-Year Guarantee when laid by an approved team. Resin bound installation typically take less time to install than other traditional paving options. Guaranteed for 21 years against: loose stone; cracking; oil damage; UV degradation; colour change and frost damage. SureSet products are available Worldwide and they also deliver a supply of products such as TradePack® and ProResin® direct to tradesmen or keen DIY enthusiasts which are available through their online shop.

Pathways to a perfect park landscape: Soils, Aggregates and Stone

MCME bagged materials for park landscape

First impressions really count, and that does not stop at your park entrance. It continues onto your main thoroughfare and beyond at every pitch and pocket of land – it impacts site-wide. Waterlogged patches, unruly pathways and pot-holed roads are an instant turn-off, causing untold damage to your reputation as well as to vehicles and pedestrians. Planted beds, hedge screening, wildflower meadows and green roofs can make your outdoor experience stand out for all the right reasons, too.  At that means taking a closer look beneath your feet… Chances are you want your park to be more than just a place to stay. You want holidaymakers to return, to recommend and to share a positive experience of their time on site.  Whilst the accommodation, the facilities, the entertainment and the environment are critical factors, it will no doubt be the “bits in between” where you could be letting the side – and site – down.   Roadways, pathways, play and plants Suppliers of British Standard topsoils and aggregates for almost a quarter of a century, MCM are favoured by award-winning landscapers and the UK’s leading construction companies when it comes to the provision of consistently high quality landscape materials.  The Surrey-based company source materials from quarries and sites across the South East but have a UK-wide logistics network.  They have been the first port of call for soils and aggregates to projects including Holland Park play area in Kensington, Kearsney Court historic park in Dover, roof gardens and avenues at Wembley Park and groundworks at the University of Winchester. It is in these and other private, commercial and public open space projects where the correct specification, selection and supply of soils, gravels and aggregates is critical.  This is why it is so important to consider your end goals when it comes to product choice for park renovations and refurbishment. Choose the right landscape materials Whether gabion stone for a cage wall or bank reinforcement, new planting or a forecourt of self-binding gravel that looks great all year round, discuss your options with a specialist supplier of soils and aggregates.  They can guide you on product selection and advise on site preparation, calculating how much you need and how it can best be delivered to site dependent on access, space and location.  MCM supply in loose, direct-to-site loads up to 20 tonnes or in multi-lift bags so that deliveries can be tailored to suit. British Standards soils and blends for planting, turf and meadow Now more than ever, we want to embrace and enjoy our outdoor spaces.  And whilst your holiday park is more than likely blessed with a natural environment, you can always add more – perhaps some hedge screening, new planting beds, lawns, playgrounds, improvements to your wooded areas or perhaps even a living wall or green roof.  Creating new beds means new soil and to ensure the healthiest establishment and long-term success of your planting, you should select the best soil blend and one that meets the most rigorous of British Standard specifications – and has the test certificate to prove it.  MCM supplies lightweight substrates for roof gardens and areas where soil weight and drainage are top considerations, as well as specialist soils for acid-loving plants. For wildflower planting in pockets around the development, choose a low fertility topsoil blend to provide the nutrient levels required for a thriving soft landscape whilst suppressing the onset of invasive weeds across the planting scheme. Preparing your site to diversify PROJECT: Self-binding golden gravel path for alpacas on Surrey farm Binding together when rolled to create a self-compacted golden surface, MCM’s self-binding gravel has been used to great effect on this farm in Surrey. The golden driveway stays firm underfoot and is a versatile and attractive alternative to other more traditional loose aggregates. The homeowner took delivery of their self-binding gravel in April and after transporting the gravel by dumper across a 200 metre stretch to the alpaca shelters at the bottom of an adjacent field, the hard standing area is now complete and ready for its South American visitors. “Lulu” and the gang are more than happy with their upgraded home, as is the homeowner who commended the MCM team for helping them with product selection and arranging swift delivery.

A welcoming environment  PRODUCT: Paving the way with permeable recycled aggregates With site drainage crucial throughout the year, it is worth considering a permeable recycled aggregate alternative to keep your landscape and groundworks free-draining and puddle-free. Cheaper than a primary aggregate – a win-win for budget and environment – a 2/6mm permeable aggregate bedding layer allows surface water to run off and escape through the sub-base and into the ground beneath.  Its grading gives a balance between the sub-base layer’s stability and the free movement of water off, down and through. This makes this recycled permeable aggregate the perfect base layer for sports pitches, paving, car parks and driveways.

A Golden Coast heat pump will keep guests happy year-round.

Golden Coast heat pump

British weather may be famously unpredictable, but at least guests can count on their hot tubs being warm thanks to an innovative heat pump from Golden Coast. The inverter-driven air source pump heats water up to 40°C and maintains the desired temperature while operating on a lower current. This allows it to use less energy compared to electric heaters, making it a much eco-friendlier option. The heat pump has been tried and tested in parks around the UK with impressive results. One field test conducted by a holiday park operator revealed a Golden Coast heat pump offered a return on their investment in just 18 months based on their usage and environment, resulting in an order of over 200 units. Adam Clark, Sales Director at Golden Coast explains: “Our highly efficient heat pump keeps energy consumption and running costs low. Owners can even monitor usage and control the temperature easily thanks to the touchscreen display. It means parks are completely in control of their spending, and if they have multiple hot tubs on site, it can result in significant savings over time.” Designed to be durable and long lasting, a Golden Coast heat pump uses titanium heat exchangers which are resistant to corrosion by salt, chlorine and bromine. The pump can operate in cold temperatures as low as -15°C, and has a heater tray element that protects the machine in colder months.  Importantly, its unique ventilation structure means the heat pump is extremely quiet, so will not disturb guests.  “There will be lots of guests around the country looking to find something special for their staycations this year, and a hot tub is always a sought-after feature,” says Adam. “It’s essential that the hot tub is useable no matter what the weather, and thanks to a high coefficient of performance, a Golden Coast heat pump warms the water quickly so guests can enjoy the spa in no time. Our heat pump offers a high level of reliability for park operators looking to extend their facility use through every season. It won’t let you or your guests down.” For more information on Golden Coast heat pumps, contact a member of the sales team on 01271 378100, email swimmer@goldenc.com or visit www.goldenc.com.

Bluepoint Tags and Labels

Bluepoint

Bluepoint – An innovative Devon based tag and label manufacturer, is excited to release a new line of ‘print your own’ identification solutions to the camping and leisure sector. Campsites and holiday parks, both large and small will now have the flexibility to print their own range of on demand, personalised pitch tags, vehicle permits, and swimming pool passes quickly and efficiently, without the origination costs, minimum order quantities and timescales often associated with purchasing generic tags from a print company.   Holiday parks and campsites printing their own customised passes and pitch tags for their visitors with specific information and detail, such as arrival and departure dates, numbers of guests, vehicle registration and even site rules and special offers was devised after local campsites requested that Bluepoint come up with a turn key solution, in which they could quickly and easily print their own personalised pitch tags and guest passes on site and with the variable information that they needed.  Bluepoint responded by developing a range of tags and labels and, in conjunction with a major printer OEM, developed a complete print system, which allows a wide range of label, tag and ID bracelet ‘blanks’ to be printed quickly and cost effectively (typically 8pence full Colour) through an easy-to-use package. The system can even print Colours of the week and specific guests’ details saving hours of administrative time and the task of traditionally handwriting all this information; often we have been reliably informed, hundreds of times in busy periods and in some cases in duplicate!  Bluepoint manufacture and offer the following products. • Car parking tickets / passes • Tent and caravan pitch tags  • Car Mirror hangers • Window stickers  • Adhesive Labels  • Custom sizes / shapes  • Colour and Black and white printing systems • Caravan storage tags    If you would like further details of the system which includes printer, software*, inksand tags, then please contact our friendly sales team on 01392 927030 or drop us an e-mail across at sales@bluepointtags.co.uk *Label and tag templates can be supplied upon request and, unlike other campsite print systems, the Bluepoint system can also be used effectively for office scanning and day-to-day office printing.
