ABOUT
Mossford Construction was established in 1979 and is based in Loughton, Essex, ideally placed on the border of Essex, Hertfordshire and North & East London. We have extensive experience in both main contracting and subcontracting. We have acted as principal on significant projects for private and local authority clients and undertaken large single and multi trade subcontracts for a variety of large firms.
Mossford is divided into three key areas.
-
Working for large main contractors as a full service multi trade sub-contractor
-
Principal contractor for enhancement and refurbishment projects in schools, libraries and museums
-
Installation of passive fire protection products
We also carry out a large number of miscellaneous builders work / incidental items packages where individual tasks are often too small for single trade subcontractors but where it makes financial sense to combine smaller tasks into one subcontract.
If you need something done on your site and are unsure of whom to ask, chances are we can carry out the work for you. For example, we have recently clad staircases, infilled an air raid shelter, arranged for fish to be relocated, re-homed hedgehogs, dismantled and re-built medical gas storage cages, built welfare facilities in various old buildings, tinted some brick, abseiled in various places and cleaned pigeon droppings off the bell at Imperial College. Never a dull moment.
