Steel Installation and Groundworks Reading
We cover the RG1, RG2, RG4, RG6, RG30 and RG31 postcode areas in Reading for homeowners, landlords and commercial sites, taking on structural steel, air source heat pumps, groundworks and fencing. Reading Borough Council is a unitary authority, so planning, building control and local flood risk all sit with the same council rather than being split between a district and a county. Most of our work arrives as one stage of something bigger, so tell us the whole scope and we will set out how the parts fit together.
Reading projects often involve larger builds and coordination. BFR Brothers delivers steel, groundworks, heat pumps and fencing as one service.
