Offering complete turnkey services — design, installation and project management.

Pre-Construction Advice

Our team can provide valuable product and design advice at any stage of a project. With years of experience and long-standing relationships with product manufacturers, our engineers ensure that projects remain within budget without compromising architectural integrity.

Project Management

We utilise a collaborative project management programme to ensure we deliver projects on time, within budget, and most importantly, safely.

Fabrication

Our in-house fabrication service can deliver a wide range of high quality bespoke roofing and cladding solutions, utilising computerised folding and cutting machinery to ensure a precise and consistent end product.

Design

The latest computerised design systems equip our design team with the ability to provide clients, architects and main contractors with a complete plan for the construction project. For the more intricate designs, we have the facilities to produce a 3D image to assist with the design. All of our designers have been trained up to BIM Level 2.

Planning

For each project we provide a strict planning service. This includes producing detailed plans, method statements and risk assessments. The end result is a structured project following a critical path. We communicate with the client at every step of the way and our contracts manager is assigned to oversee the project, co-ordinating between the client, design, and site teams.

Commercial

We commit ourselves to providing the most economical service available. We are not tied into any one supplier or system which means value engineering is always available. Our partnering mentality is ideal for those who wish us to become involved from an early stage, which can often result in cost reduction of other trades such as steelwork, masonry, etc.

We have extensive experience of working within a range of sectors.

Public & Commercial Buildings

Over the years, Longworth has undertaken a wide range of roofing and cladding works, from office space to state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

More than a third of consumer spending goes through our shops and it is the UK’s largest private sector employer with 2.9 million employees.

Transport

Modern and efficient transport infrastructure is as important today as it has ever been.

Leisure

The range of building types in the leisure industry means that we have to be adaptable and competent in a wide range of methods, design, products and environments.

Health Care

Our team has completed a large number of projects in the health care sector, from new build highly-aesthetic designs to functional, cost-conscious projects.
