Filon Fixsafe is ‘first choice’ for industry-leading roofing contractor

Weatherproofing Advisors Ltd, one of the UK’s leading industrial and commercial roofing contractors, has made Filon Fixsafe a key part of its stringent Health & Safety programme.

The company has even created a memorable marketing campaign around safety super-hero ‘R.U. McSafe’ – to highlight its zero-tolerance approach to safety on-site.
