We are a part of a highly successful, £60M+ revenue group. We don't just install conservatories, orangeries, double-glazed windows, living spaces, and doors across Nottingham and its surrounding areas - we're redefining modern living spaces for the needs of today's homeowners.

  • Check soil/site ground makeup, suitability, and advise if piling is required
  • The ability to point, lay flags/chippings, screed, and patch a floor
  • Identify and check on existing drainage runs and report this
  • Locate any other problems on site that may affect the build prior to starting, for example, trees (type, size, distance to proposed foundations, etc.)
  • Leave locations surrounding works exactly as they were found so the customer is presented with no work to do in respect of tidying or cleaning the property or surrounding area
  • Arrange appointments with customers and book in the test digs with the Building Manager
  • Attend any corrective historic builds to resolve issues as directed by the Building Manager
