What we fix, and
how we work
We take on reinforcement packages across the UK, on everything from single-plot foundations to full reinforced concrete frames. Supplied and fixed, or fixed against your own steel.
- CIS registered
- £1m public liability
- £10m employers’ liability
- RAMS issued before we start
Two ways to work
with us
Which one suits depends on whether you want to carry the material and the scheduling risk, or hand both to us.
01
Labour supply
CSCS-carded steel fixing gangs on day or week rates, fixing against steel you have already procured. Insurance certificates and RAMS supplied before anyone sets foot on site.
Suits you if
- You are short-handed mid-package
- You already have a rebar supply chain
- You want material procurement kept in-house
What we need
Site location, start date, duration and gang size.
02
Supply and fix
We schedule, procure and deliver the reinforcement, then fix it. One order, one invoice, one company accountable for whether the steel is right.
Suits you if
- You would rather not carry the scheduling risk
- You want one point of accountability at the pre-pour inspection
- You have no room on site to store loose bar
What we need
Drawings and bar bending schedules, programme dates and site location.
