You may have seen the recent stories on some media sites about chemical treatment from roofing battens leaching out and causing damage to roofing membranes, as well as claims of it causing skin complaints among roofing personnel.

While Timber Development UK is in no position to verify or deny the claims made, we take all claims of substandard timber product entering the market very seriously. We would like to remind the industry of the critical information we have previously circulated on how to ensure you buy and stock the best quality roofing battens.
