BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Supply, installation & maintenance of ceilings, partitionings and dry lining
Ref.GB189
Location East Sussex
Asking Price GBP 70,000
Established as a sole trader in 1995, the company was incorporated in 2005. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very well established commercial business specialising in the supply and installation of ceilings, partitionings and dry lining for councils, schools and others. The business undertakes maintenance contracts and repairs including painting, small construction, plumbing and electrical wortk. The jobs are averaged out at 40 to 60 jobs per month, both large and small. This is a very pro-active company with constant repeat business being approximately 90-90% of the work.

This business enjoys Approved Trader status with the local council due to its first class reputation that has been gained over 20 years of successful trading. There is a good mix of clients within both the public and private sectors (inc. Local Authorities, Schools etc) and the business enjoys consistent levels of business.

The company provides a comprehensive turnkey solution to its clients. By involving itself in projects at an early stage it provides expert technical and design advice backed up with accurate pricing and on time installation. The business holds a good amount of stock to ensure delivery times and competitive pricing.

The staff have built up a solid and reliable business based on relibility, efficiency, quality and speed of project completions. The company is fully conversant with all current legislation and guidelines relating to health and safety and has an excellent on site record.

This opportunity represents a tremendous opening for an existing business in an associated trade to add on a very profitable arm to complement its list of services. It could also be highly attractive for a sole trader looking to acquire a well-established and reputable operation.
