In its current guise, our minor works team has been operating since 2013; recently it has been building up a head of steam and we’re looking to take this forward into new areas.

Coinciding with the opening of the Plymouth office, the central hub for our minor works department has moved to our new office. Building on the expertise of our larger Civils and Build departments, we’re able to offer great value to those smaller jobs which could be anything from a driveway, dropped crossing to drainage solutions to Masonry work. With a huge diversity of staff to call upon, we’re...
