Graceland in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire sits straight south of us on the A1(M) — Stevenage and Hitchin are the closest, then Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Watford as you push toward the M25. The M1 picks up the western side of the county and the A1(M) carries the eastern and central spine, which means almost any Hertfordshire postcode is a clean run from the St Neots yard. Hertfordshire is one of our busiest counties for commercial and apartment-frame work, and most surveys are booked the same week the call comes in.

What we install across Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire's apartment-frame and commercial floor-plate work is some of the best fit in the country for Trad Deck — the polypropylene panel system rated to Load Class 3 under BS EN 12811-1:2003 with a safe working load of 2.0 kN/m² UDL inclusive of operatives and Class B material fragility under ACR[M]001:2014. Apartment frames in particular love Trad Deck's pattern repetition, because the same pattern lifts cleanly from one floor to the next as the build climbs.

On suitable Hertfordshire commercial floor plates, G-Deck Lite can be specified where its lightweight steel components and fast installation suit the area, or both systems can run on the same site. The Handover Certificate names the system explicitly.

Who we work with in Hertfordshire

Apartment-frame principal contractors running mid-rise residential blocks across Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City and the Watford fringe. Commercial principal contractors running Cat-A and Cat-B office work across the St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Watford business parks. Care-home operators commissioning new build and refurbishment across Hertfordshire's market towns. The Hertfordshire mix is heavier on commercial and apartment work than our home-county mix, which is why Hertfordshire surveys often involve a per-bay system recommendation rather than a single default.

How a Hertfordshire installation works

How a Hertfordshire installation works — Graceland on site
  1. 01

    Enquire

    Send the drawings, area and programme. We assess Trad Deck, G-Deck Lite or both on paper first and arrange a site survey only if needed.

  2. 02

    Plan and RAMS

    A method statement, risk assessment and CDM 2015-mapped RAMS pack lands with your principal designer for sign-off. Nothing on site until the pack is approved.

  3. 03

    Install

    A two- or three-person crew installs the deck in one planned visit and walks the completed platform with your site agent. A jointly countersigned Handover Certificate puts it formally into service.

  4. 04

    Dismantle

    A single planned visit once the trades above are finished. Every component inspected on the way out, defects quarantined, the area handed back clean.
