BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Building And Maintenance Contractor
Commercial & Residential
Ref.GB157
Location Sussex
Asking Price £ 295,000
Established circa 15 years, this business has grown to become one of the leading property maintenance and general builders in West Sussex. Working in the commercial & domestic sectors, the business’s Client base includes property management companies, reactive maintenance companies, Architects, Surveyors and home owners.
Offering planned maintenance, emergency day-today call-out services as well as general repairs, the work carried out by this business is extremely varied, from straightforward repair and maintenance right through to more complex, complete building and property refurbishment projects.
The Planned Maintenance works can extend to contract values in the region of £50,000 to £60,000 whilst on the smaller side, the business is on hand to undertake repairs and installations - window, door, kitchen and bathroom installations, plumbing, plastering, carpentry, tiling, rendering, re-pointing, roofing, painting and decorating – even the putting up of curtains! Basically this business can deal with anything requested of it and has been on hand in the past to deal with everything from changing a tap washer for just a few pounds, right through to complex refurbishment projects stretching to several hundreds of thousands.
The business benefits from longstanding working relationships and a successful track record with major clients that can only result from high levels of workmanship, cost effectiveness and reliability, but above all speed of response.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
This business invests little in marketing and advertising. Business is generated from its ‘Approved Contractor’ status with its Clients, significant word of mouth recommendation and by the on-going activities of its main Clients. Once a job is undertaken it is frequently asked to return to complete other works and taken by its Clients to other organisations when they themselves move to new positions.
