Technical Logistics for Kingston Installations
Riverside Flood Plain and Marine-Grade Finishes
Properties along the Thames require resilient protection against moisture. We specify and install doors with marine-grade Qualicoat powder coatings to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term durability.
Crane Access for Large Panels
Installing 3-metre high sliding panels in Coombe estates or tight Kingston access routes often necessitates specialist lifting. Our teams are trained in coordinating crane access and managing complex site logistics under CDM 2015 regulations.
Bay Post Jacking for 1930s Semis
In Surbiton and New Malden, modifying rear elevations for wide bifold or sliding doors often involves structural support. We install internal structural jacks to carry masonry loads securely during the transition.
