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.

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.

The Longworth Christmas Blog – #4 Gary Aspinall 09 Dec 2019

 

Longworth Blog Advent 2019

 

Gary Aspinall Christmas Gary Aspinall Safety Blog

 

In the fourth of our Christmas Advent Blogs, our SHEQ Manager Melissa Fazackerley asks our Flat Roofing Supervisor Gary Aspinall the following question –

 

As the 2019 NWCSG ‘Non Safety Professional’ Award winner, what does health and safety mean to you as an individual and the roofing industry?

 

Winning the award was a total surprise.  I had no idea I was nominated and genuinely did not think I was going above and beyond what I thought was normal practice.  To be recognised as someone who goes the extra mile to improve health and safety in our industry was absolutely brilliant. The prize money went towards extending my tattoos.  In a funny way I now have a constant reminder that what I do is recognised, and its great motivation!

Longworth Christmas Gary Aspinall Safety Blog

Good health and safety management, to me, means I am able to come to work and go home in a fit state. I am able to live a meaningful life outside of work including the usual DIY activities and walking the dog.  It might not sound like much but imagine an alternative.  All too often in the construction industry people’s lives are changed for the worst and these trivial things come to light as something that really matters. I don’t want that to happen to anyone in the industry.

I always have health and safety and the front of my mind when I am working. Before starting work, during and on my way home. With Longworth being a close knit family it is very important to look out for the health and safety of people I work with. I try to educate people more on what to do if they have any concerns.

The fact I sit on the Longworth SHEQ committee shows my commitment to improving health and safety in our industry. Longworth are showing huge commitment when it comes to health and safety and the fact that I have a voice that will be heard and action will be taken means a lot.

What our clients say

"The efforts during the construction stage of the works must be commended. The quality of the finished product is evident to anyone who cares to visit the campus at Stockport College."
