Description
An established specialist construction services business with over 30 years of trading history is being offered for sale as the shareholders seek retirement. The company operates nationwide and has built a strong reputation in passive fire protection, drilling and associated construction services, working for major contractors, developers, healthcare providers and public sector organisations.
The business benefits from a unique ability to provide both diamond drilling and fire stopping services, creating efficiencies for clients and a competitive advantage in an increasingly compliance-driven market. Growing regulatory requirements continue to support demand for its accredited services.
Income is generated across passive fire protection, diamond drilling and concrete cutting, and wider construction services. The diverse service offering is complemented by a broad customer base with high levels of repeat business and no significant reliance on any single client.
Operations are supported by a skilled workforce of employed staff and specialist subcontractors, led by an experienced management team expected to remain with the business following a sale. This provides continuity and a solid platform for future growth.
Turnover has consistently approached £10 million in recent years. While profitability has been affected by increased overheads and the temporary loss of a major contract, recent trading has improved following the contract's reinstatement, with management reporting a return to stronger performance levels.
The opportunity also includes a freehold operational property, with flexibility surrounding a second site if required. Overall, the business represents an attractive acquisition for trade buyers seeking a well-established specialist contractor with strong customer relationships, recognised accreditations and exposure to growing compliance-led markets.

Annual turnover approaching £10 Million.
Established with over 30 years' trading history.
Strong regulatory-driven growth in the fire protection sector.
