SHS provides the construction side of farm diversification projects across Cumbria — access, parking, services, drainage, bases, foundations and masonry.
54.577° N / 2.795° W
Most diversification budgets are decided by infrastructure rather than by the buildings, so getting a realistic view of it early matters.
Local focus
Working in and around Cumbria
Infrastructure first
Access, parking, water, power, drainage and waste treatment established before units can generate income.
Phased delivery
Work phased so income can start before the whole scheme is complete, which matters when funding comes from farm cash flow.
Working with planning
What is consented determines what can be built, particularly within the National Park and AONB areas.
Cumbria — common questions
SHS works throughout Cumbria and surrounding areas, including Penrith, Carlisle, Kendal, Keswick, Appleby, Kirkby Stephen, the Eden Valley, the South Lakes and West Cumbria. Distance is factored into pricing and discussed openly.
