As another year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on everything 2024 has brought for Sheriff Construction. From exciting new projects to groundbreaking innovations and growing our team, this year has been filled with milestones that remind us why we love what we do.
Our journey has been one of growth, learning, collaboration, and innovation, culminating in a year of remarkable success. We’re immensely proud of all that we’ve accomplished so, in our last blog of the year, we invite you to join us in celebrating the highpoints of 2024.
With a growing emphasis on reducing environmental impact, improving energy efficiency and delivering social value, the need to explore more sustainable solutions in construction has never been greater.
Addressing this head on, industry experts at IKO have come up with a new waterproofing solution that has over 50% lower embodied carbon. This week, we’re handing our blog over to a guest writer, IKO’s Managing Director Anthony Carlyle, who explains more.
Modern flat roofing systems, when installed by professionals, are designed to require minimal upkeep. However, that doesn’t mean ‘no maintenance’ and most in the roofing business recommend a twice-yearly routine maintenance check.
So, as we face the usual influx of leaves, debris and unpredictable weather that come with Autumn, this week’s blog will guide you through some key steps to keep your roof in top shape.
A couple of weeks ago, we shared the first of our ‘Shout out to our suppliers’ blog series, in which we are recognising some of the brilliant suppliers who have been supporting Sheriff over the years.
While our first blog focussed on roofing and safety systems, today we’re turning our attention to two suppliers who, between them, are providing us with most of our masonry requirements. Keep reading to find out who they are.
Arriving on the construction scene as a small gang of builders back in 2005, we have grown into a much larger enterprise that now comprises of two construction companies (Sheriff Construction and Sheriff Brickworks) plus two property development companies.
We could not have managed this level of growth without the fantastic suppliers that have supported us along the way, often for many years. So, we thought it was about time we used our blog to shine the spotlight on some of them. Read on for part 1 of this ‘shout out to our suppliers’ series.
Earlier this year, we reported that Sheriff had won the January 2024 IKO Contractor Recognition Award for two of our roofing projects and was in the running for the year’s overall IKO award.
We’re happy to report that, out of all the companies IKO works with across the country, Sheriff picked up the second place ‘Highly Commended’ award at the ceremony last week. Take a look at this week’s blog for more.
Last week, Sheriff Construction was delighted to be presented with a trophy as the winner of the January 2024 IKO Contractor Recognition Award for our roofing projects at the former Ford HQ in Brentwood and Epping Gate.
This is the second time Sheriff has been recognised by IKO, having been ‘Highly Commended’ in relation to our roofing works in Charlton back in 2021. Find out more in this week’s blog.
Back in November last year, we reported on a free masterclass for bricklayers that was being offered by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) and how an equivalent opportunity would soon be made available for roofers.
This month, the HBF have released that opportunity so, if improving your roofing skills is on your ‘to do’ list, read on.
With the end of the year approaching, Sheriff’s team came together on Saturday night to eat, drink, dance and generally ‘be merry’ at our Christmas party.
As well as this being the moment when everyone starts enjoying the festivities, it’s always a time when we, at Sheriff Construction, like to look back and review what kind of year we’ve had. Read this week’s blog for a few of 2023’s highlights.
Thousands of brickies and roofers across England, Wales and Scotland are set to benefit from a major new fully-funded training initiative that aims to upskill the workforce and address common defects.
As part of the industry’s ongoing commitment to building quality homes and with CITB funding, the Home Builders Federation’s (HBF) ‘Home Building Skills Partnership’ has begun delivering a series of brickwork masterclasses and will be rolling out brand-new roofing masterclasses soon. Find out more about these free training opportunities in this week’s blog.
