Demolition and strip-out
Soft strip and structural demolition, cleared and sequenced so the rest of the job can start on a clean site.
London building contractor
Structural and building works across London.
Demolition, structural alterations, extensions, basements and refurbishments for private clients, architects and project managers.
The Forty Four
The structural side of a project, done carefully.
We are a small London contractor with our own crews. Most of our work is the early, structural part of a refurbishment: taking a building back, putting new structure in and getting it ready for the finishing trades. We also take projects through to completion where the client wants one contractor from start to finish.
We work mainly on period houses and mansion flats in central and south west London.
Structural alterations
Steel beams, new openings, load-bearing wall removals and structural repairs, built to the engineer's design and inspected at each stage.
Extensions, basements and groundworks
Foundations, underpinning, lowered floors, drainage and the masonry shell for rear and side extensions.
Refurbishment and fit-out
Whole-house and flat refurbishments, loft conversions and fit-out, either to first fix or through to a finished home.
How we work
Priced from the drawings, planned before we start.
A clear price
Send us the architect's and engineer's drawings and you get an itemised schedule of works. Anything unclear is listed as a query, not hidden in a lump sum.
Planned properly
Method statements, temporary works and sequencing are agreed with the structural engineer before anything load-bearing comes out.
Neighbours and approvals
We work to party wall awards and licence to alter conditions, keep to agreed hours and arrange Building Control inspections at each hold point.
Run by the director
The person who prices the job is the person who runs it. Decisions are made on site, the same day.
Where we work
Central and south west London.
Period houses, terraces and mansion flats. Recent and current work is in Mayfair, Marylebone, Chelsea, Pimlico, Wandsworth, Highbury, Hampstead and Soho.
About
A small firm that does its own work.
The Forty Four Construction is a London firm run by its director. We keep our own crews for demolition, groundworks, carpentry and general building, which keeps the same people on site from the first day to the last and keeps our prices straightforward.
We work for private clients, architects, structural engineers and project managers, and we are used to buildings where the structure is old, the neighbours are close and the drawings need reading carefully.
