Readstone Construction to help businesses extend the lifespan of their premises

As economic pressure continues to reshape the manufacturing and commercial landscape, Readstone Construction has launched a new structural and civil maintenance service to help businesses extend the lifespan of their existing premises and maximise long-term value.

The service is designed to support manufacturers, factory operators and commercial property owners who are choosing to invest in their current premises rather than relocate at this time.

Readstone Construction, in Altham, has long track record of delivering high-quality multi-million-pound construction projects, and Simon Whittam, project director and co-owner, said the business has recently seen growing demand for on-site improvements, maintenance and structural upgrades.

He said: “We’re seeing a real shift in the market, where businesses are choosing to improve and extend the facilities they already have rather than take on the risk of relocating in these uncertain times. It is important that we recognise this shift and adapt our services accordingly.

“By expanding our portfolio, we are making ourselves available to support those businesses with a reliable, end-to-end solution, whether that’s small-scale maintenance or more complex structural works.”

The North West is home to a vast network of industrial estates, housing thousands of factories and manufacturing sites. Many of these require ongoing maintenance, compliance upgrades and operational improvements to remain efficient and competitive.

Readstone Construction already works with a wide range of established clients, including global organisations such as Rolls-Royce, alongside respected regional manufacturers like What More UK and Fort Vale Engineering.

The newly launched service provides a fully integrated solution, enabling clients to appoint a single, trusted contractor to manage all aspects of structural and civil maintenance. 

Core works are delivered in-house, with specialist designers and subcontractors brought in where required, ensuring a seamless and efficient process from initial instruction through to completion.

In addition to working directly with business owners and operators, Readstone Construction is also seeking to collaborate with major commercial landlords to support the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of their property portfolios.

Simon added: “As economic conditions continue to influence business decisions, the ability to adapt and improve existing facilities has never been more important. Our new service offers a practical, cost-effective way for organisations to enhance their environments, maintain compliance and position themselves for future growth.”
