THE DEMOLITIONS INDUSTRY presents unique challenges and is a sector requiring specialist skills and services . UK firm Masterton is leading the way in providing both .
The company has grown on the strength of its expansion of in-house services and specialist workforce , which have proven invaluable to a growing base of loyal clients in the industrial , commercial and more recently , nuclear sectors .
Masterton can now provide what Business Development Manager Neil Richardson calls a multi-disciplined “ cradle-to-grave service ”, undertaking all works in-house , and this he believes elevates it above competitors .
Richardson said : “ When things started to become challenging ( economically ) we looked at a different approach , at how we could offer more to clients to make sure that we continue to be innovative in our approach .
“ On the back of that we adopted some additional services , employed a great range of specialist personnel , like our own structural engineers , and approached clients we hadn ’ t worked with for some time to explain the changes to the company . We were able to gain a stronger foothold with existing clients and brought in a lot of new business as well .”
Regeneration works Masterton ’ s completion last December of work with the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation ( WNDC ) began a new 20,000 sqm office development as part of a wider regeneration programme in Northampton , and provided a fine example of its ability to manage complex citycentre demolition projects .
The tight location , bordered by main roads and close to both a river and railway station , called for robust planning , as Richardson explained .
“ We were tasked with working within the confines of a city and taking down a number of residential dwellings without having any effect on the surrounding area ”
