Roman to the Rescue for T.V. Programme

Retail Development Manager, David Acheson, with Cowboy Builders’ presenter Melinda Messenger

A NEWTON Aycliffe based shower manufacturer Roman was called upon by prime time home rescue show, Cowboy Builders, to help out two families in need, to renovate their bathrooms.

Roman, who has worked with the programme on a number of occasions, was called upon to help a family based in Milton Keynes, who had nowhere to wash. The family had paid a builder to renovate their home and create a downstairs bathroom with disabled access for the mum – who suffers from spinal arthritis. Part way through the project the builder walked off with the family’s money and left the home in an unfinished mess.

Roman offer a range of products which allow for easy access, but that aren’t traditional ‘disabled’ products in their design. They are styled for the modern home, but with every user in mind. The company were quick to step in and provide the Cowboy Builders team with all the products they needed to create a designer style easy access wetroom.

The products were supplied into Roman retailer, PHS, who is based in Milton Keynes. The Cowboy Builders crew, along with presenter Melinda Messenger paid a visit to the retailer to collect the products and PHS kindly supplied some other bathroom items to complete the project.

Roman also helped out another Cowboy Builders family in Croydon, supplying them with a shower enclosure. This show is due to be aired in January 2013.

Roman are regularly called upon by different home make-over shows and so far this year they have supplied; BBC’s, DIY SOS; Channel 5’s, Half Built House and Channel 4’s, You Deserve this House, as well as Cowboy Builders.

David Osborne, Managing Director at Roman, commented: “We are always very keen to support shows such as Cowboy Builders. They do a fantastic job in restoring peoples’ homes after being left in often unliveable conditions after Cowboy Builders have destroyed them.

We have now become a regular supplier for the show, having worked with them over many years. Because we manufacture all our products in the UK, we are able to work within their tight deadlines and deliver products within a matter of days. No matter what their brief, our diverse product range means we have a showering solution that will work in the space.”
