Commercial
Commercial
Yards, bases, drainage and external works for commercial premises, built for the loading they take.
Commercial groundworks has to account for vehicle movements, operational continuity and long-term maintenance. A yard that fails in three years costs more than one built correctly at the outset.
SHS carries out commercial groundworks, concrete works, drainage and masonry for business premises across Cumbria, including light industrial, retail, hospitality and rural business sites.
