Contracting in Flood defence, restoration and environmental improvement of rivers, lakes and ponds

As contractors we specialise in river and lake restoration, slope stabilisation and de-siltation. The projects we work on range from the small stabilisation of a stream at the end of a garden, to the construction of lakes and flood defence work for the Environment Agency, main contractors or councils.  We are able to use our own plant and experienced installation teams, supported by strong in-house technical support.

Over the last 20 years we have developed expertise in waterside construction techniques and where possible we construct using natural, sustainable solutions that will stand the test of time, combining traditional and innovative methods, encouraging wildlife and meeting economic concerns equally well. We apply techniques that have been researched, tried and tested. For more information please look under our heading solutions.
