Building for Homes
With the introduction of the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015, also known as CDM Regulations or CDM 2015, all domestic construction work and trade jobs fall under the HSE. So now you not only have to find a competent building contractor but you are also obliged to ensure they comply with Health and Safety regulations and risk assessments, etc. (RAMS)
It’s a minefield. But you can relax with Blake Contractors. We are SMSTS-qualified so, whilst you will still have a legal responsibility, we are unlikely to cause something that you will be liable for. We’ll manage all your building services. So your project will be finished on time, on budget and the site left clean and tidy. Our experience and expertise will ensure you’re delighted with the end result… and you’ll have no HSE problems from builders or tradesmen cutting corners. That’s what professional construction work should look like!

And here’s what the contract administrator had to say about this building project with Blake’s.
Not just builders from Southend, we’re building contractors
A builder is an individual who can manage only the smallest of projects. Building contractors, on the other hand, employ multiple builders and tradesmen for contracts of all sizes. In addition, we manage the project for you, to ensure all the tradesmen and women comply with current and updated regulations. AND finish their contribution on time, so you’re not stuck with a deserted building site, not allowed to open. And a load of empty excuses.
You really don’t need to put yourself through the stress, hassle and uncertainty, do you?
We cover all the building services you need. Trades such as:
- Plumbing
- Gas and Heating
- Carpentry
- Plastering
- Decoration
- Groundwork
- Brickwork
- Rendering, including coloured
- Roofing
- Electrical
Blake Contractors liaise with you but handle everything so you can sit back and let the building begin!
