Industrial Work
We have dealt with many aspects of this business, working on industrial projects for the MOD, prisons, food factories, business units etc extending this to high end developments like multiplex cinema's and prestigious clients such as Rolls Royce. We are sure if you mentioned the type of client or type of building we would have done work on several of these over our time.Industry standards can very different from company to company, however due to our policy of price graded work we are maintaining very high standards. Traditionally tradesmen are paid the same price per meter yet we encourage higher standards through grade pricing. A/B/C . If needed, snag lists are then set to achieve grade A. Our Regular tradesman are very much aware of our expectations and are rewarded through administrative leanness.
Farm Buildings that last!
Predominantly most agricultural buildings have fibre cement roofs and ironically there are few tradesman that know how to lay these correctly. When they are fitted correctly they have a long life expectancy yet if they are laid incorrectly the strain can reduce their lifespan by over 50%.Other considerations that we explore is that we ensure that our clients receive maximum capacity for their investment. Good design and flexible thinking can help reduce the price per sq metre significantly.
We have built all types of Agricultural buildings including grain stores, workshops, dairy buildings such as cattle sheds or pig sheds, onion or potato stores and the list goes on. We have also done a lot of buildings for riding schools also as well as the stables. We have also clad an abattoir and did extensive refurbishment for a chicken and turkey factories.

There are plenty of Roofing and Cladding companies but only a few are run by good ex-tradesmen.With Roofing and Cladding it's one thing drawing it but unless you have fixed it for 20+ years you don't really know how to go about the job in the best manor.
Most companies are run by draftsmen but its like food critic who hasn't cooked before trying to be a top chef, i know in the past i've bailed out more draftsmen than i care to remember.
Don't get me wrong many of the draftsmen in charge of jobs are really nice people, unfortunately some of the labour out there doing the jobs aren't so good. Infact i know plenty of dire sheeters i wouldn't trust to put up my garden fence yet they still get the work. One thing for sure GOOD TRADESMEN DON'T LIKE BAD ONES and they certainly won't employ them, thats why you know your job is in good hands with us.
