Services
Whist we primarily focus on groundworks, our work covers many aspects of construction including barn conversions and new builds.
Primary Services
Seer undertakes most aspects of groundworks. Our experience covers excavation, formwork, foundations, drainage, and hard landscaping for large commercial projects.
From leveling the land and crafting sturdy foundations to installing drainage systems, our experience and knowledge ensures that your project starts on solid ground. Trust our dedicated team to handle the nitty-gritty details and take care of getting the construction off to a great start.
With Commercial Restorations, we can undertake the groundworks as well as the restorative stonework that often comes with Conservation and Heritage sites.
We take great care in selecting materials that match the character and style of the original property. This attention to detail ensures that our restoration work closely resembles the original craftsmanship, preserving the charm and authenticity of the property for years to come.
These unique projects turn characterful, dilapidated buildings into beautiful homes in picturesque and rural locations. Often time consuming, but always rewarding to see the transformation.
Warmth & Light
A major aspect of any barn conversion is to make sure that it’s suitable to be lived in. A lot of work goes into ensuring that the building has the insulation it requires, a modern heating system and compliant windows to make sure it retains as much heat as possible and is comfortable to live in. Many barn conversions are designed and renovated to allow as much light in as possible with plenty of windows to bring a new life in to an old building.
History
The most enjoyable part of being part of barn conversions is the historic significance of the existing building. Most conversion projects Seer has completed has kept the integrity and character of the original building, but brought a modern 21st Century twist to it. Barn conversions can bring challenges as the extent of some works is sometimes unknown. However, some of the most rewarding projects are those where derelict and obsolete buildings are brought back to life to be enjoyed.
From the bottom up, we work on all aspects of new builds from the groundworks to the roof. Typically we'll work with the architects and structural engineers to build the house to the specification they require.
Seer’s journey began with new build extensions and has since grown to have extensive experience in high specification new build houses, amongst other types of properties. Our team has all the experience needed to build a project from the ground up, from foundations, to roofing and everything in between.
Equipped with all the machinery we need to provide muckaway services for our clients. We can also hire out our equipment with the option of our qualified crew to undertake the work for you.
Fully capable of moving materials from place to place with our own lorries. Typically on projects we will find our selves needing to move a lot of muck away from our construction sites and also bringing materials to our sites.
Types of work
Excavations
We approach each excavation with the same level of meticulous planning and attention to detail, ensuring that every dig is precise and in harmony with the surrounding environment. With a focus on safety and sustainability, we go the extra mile to minimize environmental impact while achieving maximum efficiency.
Foundations
From concrete footings to reinforced slabs, we specialise in crafting foundations that form the sturdy backbone of your construction endeavors.
Drainage
We have plenty of experience in drainage, foul or storm. We install hydrobrakes, attenuation tanks, swales and more, depending on the requirements of the project.
Sufficient drainage is becoming more important as year upon year, it seems the UK has record breaking rainfall, meaning a high risk of flooding. Installing appropriate drainage can help prevent this from happening.
Hard Landscaping
Most of our work is below ground, but we have a team that are able to complete all aspects of hard landscaping such as kerbing and paving to finish a project with a quality finish.
Retaining Walls
Using our owned Peri Panel system, reinforced concrete retaining walls are made straightforward. Our team has plenty of experience in producing these impressive structures safely and efficiently.
Stonework
Stonework is undoubtedly a central aspect of many barn conversions. It is often stipulated that locally sourced lime mortar from Ty Mawr Lime is used to create a perfect match of stone and mortar. To re-create the original works, our stonemasons take time and care to meticulously re-build, rake out and point the locally sourced stone to enable the original character to shine through.
Commercial Drainage
A priority for older commercial buildings is ensuring appropriate drainage is present. In many projects, we are asked to install large attenuation tanks which are required to help with storm water removal.
