RECENT NEWS
Construction can be a highly rewarding industry to work in, but it can also be demanding. Tight deadlines, long hours, financial pressures and the responsibility of delivering projects safely and efficiently can all take their toll on people’s wellbeing.
While there has been growing awareness of mental health in recent years, many within the industry believe more needs to be done to address the factors that contribute to poor mental health in the first place. That is the thinking behind a newly published Mental Health Joint Code of Practice so read on to find out more about this initiative and what it could mean for the future of mental health in construction.
When discussing the challenges facing the housebuilding sector, conversations often focus on planning delays, rising material costs, labour shortages and access to land. However, a recent report has highlighted another issue that many people may be less familiar with – council tax charges on newly built homes that remain unoccupied and unsold.
The issue is attracting growing attention across the industry, with concerns that it is creating additional financial pressure for SME housebuilders at a time when housing delivery is already facing a range of social and economic constraints. Find out more about the issue and what changes are being proposed in our latest blog.
On Friday 5th June, colleagues from Sheriff Construction came together to take part in a volunteer litter picking initiative around our office, nearby streets and local green spaces as part of the ‘Keep Britain Tidy Litter Heroes’ campaign.
The activity took place on World Environment Day and during Volunteers’ Week 2026, providing a fantastic opportunity for our team to make a positive difference within the local community while supporting wider environmental initiatives. Keep reading to find out more about the team’s work.
Although water availability is often taken for granted in the UK, it is in fact a finite resource and global pressures linked to climate change, population growth, pollution and increasing demand on infrastructure are placing greater strain on water resources worldwide.
Construction activity can also contribute to unnecessary water consumption and environmental harm if not managed responsibly. In the approach to World Environment Day on 5th June, why not read our blog to learn more about why this issue matters to our industry and some practical measures you can take to better manage your water use.
Many people know the Sheriff name for our expertise in delivering roofing, waterproofing and brickwork contracts across London and the South East of England but did you know our business has grown into a wider group of specialist companies over the last 20 years?
From our early beginnings as a family-run brickwork company back in 2005, we’ve evolved into Sheriff Construction (roofing), Sheriff Brickworks (masonry), Crestview Homes (property development) and McLains (estate agency/ property services). Keep reading to learn more about each of these businesses and how our journey continues to evolve.
Late payment has long been a major issue across the construction industry – particularly for small and medium-sized businesses and subcontractors – often creating significant pressure on cash flow and overall financial stability.
That is why the government’s proposed Small Business Protections Bill is attracting significant attention across the sector. The Bill, which entered Parliament today (19th May), is being described as the biggest crackdown on late payments in more than 25 years. Keep reading this week’s blog to find out more about what the proposed changes involve and what this means for construction and the wider economy.
With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem every year and 1 in 6 working-age adults experiencing symptoms associated with mental ill health, increasing awareness of this issue and taking action to address it couldn’t be more important.
That’s why this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is themed ‘Take Action – for yourself, for others and for all of us’. Keep reading this week’s blog to find out more about the campaign and what we’re doing at Sheriff this week and beyond.
Deaf Awareness Week (4 – 10 May) is an important opportunity to recognise the experiences of people who are deaf or have hearing loss, and to reflect on how we can create more inclusive environments in everyday life and at work.
Last year, we marked this week by sharing a blog on communication challenges in construction and how simple changes can make a big difference. That piece led to something far more meaningful than we could have anticipated – it connected us with a local college and Rehan, a student looking for an opportunity in the industry. Read on to learn more about Deaf Awareness Week, Rehan’s story and how we can all communicate more effectively.
In construction, not every safety incident results in injury or damage. Sometimes, something goes wrong – but no one gets hurt. It is easy to see these moments as ‘lucky escapes’ and move on.
However, these incidents, known as near misses, are often the most important warnings a site will ever get. Whether it is a tool falling from height but missing someone or a vehicle reversing too close to a pedestrian, near misses highlight where things are starting to go wrong. Left unaddressed, the next time may not end so well. Keep reading this week’s blog to understand what near misses are and why recording them is essential for improving safety.
