Our extensive experience provides us with a proven track record of success and an ability to offer great value for money for our client base, which has grown considerably to include social landlords. We have recently completed a new build housing development project.
We take great pride in our ability to deliver high quality, affordable services that are always customer focused. We are able to consistently adhere to these high standards thanks to our standard operating procedures and a quality management system, but most importantly due to our team of highly skilled, directly employed operatives.
Our operatives are carefully managed by a team of supervisors and managers who check all the work we carry out. They give guidance when it is needed, ensure that the work is completed on time to the client’s satisfaction, and ensure that it adheres to their specifications.
The quality of the service we provide is of the utmost importance to us and so we ensure that there is a regular presence on site and a dedicated supervisor for each phase of work. This site presence, along with our rigorous project planning and use of detailed method statements, ensures that we always deliver what is expected of us.
