Market leaders in the field of bespoke, prefabricated industrial buildings, designed to adapt as your business evolves
Built around you
Our flexible approach means we can deliver each of our customers a unique structure, tailored to their business needs and the surrounding environment. We can also provide a full turnkey service including groundworks, planning and maintenance so you only need one contractor for the whole project.
Minimal disruption
Buildings are manufactured off-site so there is minimal disruption to your operations and they can typically be designed, installed and fully operational within 8 weeks of ordering.
After that, we offer a comprehensive servicing package to ensure you’ll always have the support you need.
Future-proof
The size and usage of your building can be easily modified as your business progresses and it can even be relocated if you move to a different site.
Often considered a temporary solution, our structures are built to last and many are still standing strong after decades of intensive service.

FAQ
What type of industrial buildings do you specialise in?
Our structures include commercial canopies and tunnels, mounted to existing buildings or freestanding, as well as large-scale domes (fixed or telescopic), rigid-clad and steel portal frame structures suitable for a range of industrial use.
We need more than just a temporary solution, what about the long term?
Everyone’s interpretation of what temporary means is different. It could be 3 months or 30 years but for us, it means flexibility. Our buildings are easy to dismantle so if you only need a short-term fix then this is no problem but if your short-term building plans end up being long-term permanent fixtures then that is also fine. Our buildings are prefabricated, which is why they’re perceived to be temporary but the strength of our construction materials reflects our ambition to design structures that last!
Surely a traditional build would be a more reliable option for industrial applications?
We understand that industrial structures must be able to facilitate operations effectively and consistently perform at a high level as part of daily operations, whatever that may involve. Our robust building solutions are ideal for fast-paced, high-pressure environments where there is little room for error but are equally as reliable providing secure storage space on any scale.
Do your buildings require planning permission?
In most circumstances, the answer is no or at least the requirements are mimimal. We are very happy to share with you a copy of the professional advice regarding the planning criteria relevant to our structures and, should permission be necessary, then we can also submit the application on your behalf.
What is the process of working with you?
We are an independent family-run business and everyone is all hands-on-deck. The senior people you see in the initial consultation will work with you as partners and be approachable throughout the project with regular site visits and phone updates. You will not be referred to a call centre to speak to someone who is unfamiliar with the job and, from start to finish, we’ll take care of everything with a full turnkey service. The first stage is most crucial and involves an in-depth survey of your site to ensure we fully understand the needs of your organisation as well as a discussion around finance options, timings and any planning considerations. We will happily assist you with any local authority preconditions and provide you with detailed 3D drawings of our bespoke designs.
Are you able to design us a building that fits an irregular space and with an unusual configuration?
If required, then our designs can be fully bespoke, tailored to your operation. We are not deterred by any complex challenges and, with over 35 years experience, know how best to optimise the space available, no matter how restrictive it may seem. Our customised building solutions are designed to suit the individual needs of our clients and are not limited to standard dimensions or shape. They can fully integrate with your existing buildings as well as security, heating or electrical systems and be equipped with full, part or no insulation as required.
What purchasing options are there?
We offer different financing options, helping to ensure there’s an industrial structure that suits your specific requirements, as well as your budget.
If you are looking for a long-term solution and have the necessary capital in place, an outright purchase will give you complete control. The layout, dimensions, appearance and internal fit out will be to your exact building specifications.
Flexible finance options for purchasing, enable you to spread the cost out over a number of years.
If a temporary solution is what’s required, a rental plan may be more suitable. We have a wide range of standard structures in stock, which are available for both short and long-term contracts. The cost will vary, depending on the size of the structure and at the end of the rental period, the structure will be returned, repurposed and reused.
How quickly can we be up and running in the new building?
We have got the process of rapid construction & quick installation down to a fine art! Buildings can typically be designed, installed and fully operational within 8 weeks of ordering. Manufactured off-site, a small or medium-sized canopy can be erected in a matter of days on an existing concrete base so there is minimal disruption to daily operations if no additional groundworks are necessary.
Will a prefabricated structure really be able to stand up to change as our business grows?
We’ve already talked about how temporary means flexibility in terms of duration but it also means flexibility in terms of location (our buildings are easy to relocate if you move), usage (their function is easy to adapt depending on your business’ needs) and progression (structural size can be modified as your business expands). We work with many organisations, big and small, to deliver high performance warehouse and logistics solutions for a wide range of applications and understand that your industrial buildings are business critical. Investing in a covered structure rather than bricks & mortar is a versatile and efficient strategy that can offer rewards for as long as you need it to.
Your buildings may be more cost-effective than bricks & mortar but should we be prepared to fork out for continuous maintenance and servicing?
Our objective is to provide additional square footage without sacrificing durability so there should be minimal to no maintenance required. Steel-framed structures are engineered to stand up to extreme weather conditions and we are always driving to achieve greater longevity for our industrial buildings. We take a keen interest in their upkeep and regular servicing is recommended. We will gladly survey a structure during its lifetime to help identify any potential risks of damage and service contracts can be tailored to individual needs, however these are not a prerequisite. We can provide fast, efficient support or any maintenance that may be required and will go out of our way to ensure your building continues to meet our high standards.
You talk about the strength of building materials but how does steel & PVC compare to bricks?
,There’s no doubt that bricks are tough but steel holds its own as one of the strongest and longest-lasting materials in the building industry. Hot-dip galvanised steel frames provide a strong, corrosion-free structure conforming to BS 6399 Building Regulations (snow and wind loadings), that’s engineered to last. Buildings are covered with a heavy duty, flame retardant PVC-coated polyester fabric that provides protection against the elements, is abrasion resistant and tested to British Standard BS 6399. In the recent storms, said to have been some of the worst to ever hit the UK, our buildings, even those in the ports & harbours, which experienced devastating maritime conditions, are still standing strong and fully operational.
Can you offer us any final assurance before we place an order?
Despite using the highest grade of materials, we understand peace of mind is paramount for the customer, and so we can arrange and supply an Insurance Backed Warranty on any of our structures, at cost.
