Our Business Units
Six business units, one shared commitment to care & quality.
What makes us Guildmore Group
We deliver across construction, compliance, retrofit and development with the same standards and commitment on every project. Our strength comes from the way our business units work together, sharing resource, expertise and a culture built on doing things the right way.
Our people take genuine pride in the work they deliver and the relationships they build. Six business units, one shared set of values. That is what makes us Guildmore Group.
Business Unit
Facades & Cladding
Guildmore’s Facades & Cladding business unit is one of the UK’s leading main contractors specialising in cladding remediation. Working with property managers, private developers, and housing providers, we have built a reputation as a trusted and accountable partner for some of the most challenging facade programmes in the sector.
Formed in response to the industry’s shift towards building safety reform, the business unit has grown steadily on the strength of its delivery. Our approach is backed by specialist in-house teams spanning technical design, commercial and operational functions, giving clients a single point of accountability from initial assessment through to certified completion. That integrated capability allows us to manage risk, programme and quality with a level of control that external supply chains cannot match.
We have a strong track record across Higher-Risk Buildings above 18m and non-HRBs, from targeted smaller-scale works through to logistically challenging schemes exceeding £25m. Our expertise spans the full building envelope, including rainscreen cladding, external wall insulation, balconies, glazing systems and associated facade elements.
Business Unit
Construction
Our Construction Business Unit delivers design and build projects across a diverse range of sectors, both public and private. With over 25 years of consistent delivery, we are an established main contractor with a track record clients and frameworks rely on.
Our in-house design, technical and groundworks capability means we manage projects from inception to completion, with greater control over quality, programme and cost. That integration translates into fewer surprises and better outcomes for clients. We work in the following sectors:
Residential New build housing for housing providers and local authorities, including complex schemes in constrained urban environments.
Leisure projects spanning new build and refurbishment, delivered with a focus on performance, durability and user experience across wet and dry facilities.
Healthcare projects, including Care homes and supported living schemes built to meet the technical, compliance and operational demands of the sector.
Bespoke Projects, delivering a tailored approach to complex or unique schemes, combining in-house design, technical and civil engineering capability.
Business Unit
Education
We are committed to successfully delivering new build, extension and refurbishment projects across the education sector, operating as a regional strategic partner on the Department for Education’s Construction Framework 2025.
With experience of working within live school environments, we manage every project collaboratively with all stakeholders from inception to completion to understand the unique requirements of each school.
Learning Environments: Designing spaces that enhance and nurture the development and futures of young people, with a focus on creating safe, adaptability and sustainable teaching environments.
Ecology & Biodiversity: Embedding net biodiversity gain and ecological enhancement from the earliest design stages, ensuring our projects deliver a measurably improvement to the school and community.
Community & Social Value: Creating future-proofed schools that provide the pupils, staff and the wider community, with a lasting social legacy built into every scheme.
