Design & Build
We offer complete design-to-completion services for new homes and extensions. Our team handles planning applications, building control approvals, and on-site execution. Clients benefit from single-point accountability, fixed-budget guarantees, and seamless coordination between architects, contractors, and regulatory bodies throughout the construction process.
EPDM Roofing
Specialist installation of Firestone EPDM rubber roofing membranes for flat roofs. This 50-year solution suits new builds and refurbishments, offering UV resistance and low maintenance. Our cold-applied method ensures weatherproofing within hours, with trim options for aesthetic finishes on residential and commercial properties.

Refurbishment of pre-1930 buildings using traditional materials and methods. We address structural challenges in listed properties and conservation areas, avoiding modern incompatible solutions. Services include sympathetic extensions, material sourcing, and compliance with historical building regulations while improving energy efficiency.

Services include tower scaffolds, birdcage structures, and bespoke access solutions. All installations meet current safety standards with options for short-term and long-term hire requirements.
