Agricultural
With over 38 years of experience in fabricating and erecting Steel Framed Agricultural Buildings and Equestrian Facilities, we are experts in designing buildings that work for our customers whatever the intended use may be.
Our In-House Design Team can design any Agricultural Building and consider modern farming techniques and current legislation to provide perfect building solutions. Animal welfare is a crucial focus when designing a new livestock building or equestrian building which is why our Design Team takes this into consideration to provide the most effective solutions for animal housing, keeping welfare a top priority.
With a multitude of design options available, with different cladding materials, colours, applications and finishes, the look of your agricultural building can be made bespoke to complement your current buildings, suit planning regulations or fulfil your own design wishes. Budgets are also a consideration when designing a new building or a refurbishment, different options are available depending on your budget.
We can assist in the planning process including submission of planning applications where required. We can then take the project through to steel fabrication in our own Dorset based workshop, all groundworks, concreting, steel erection, cladding and finishing as well as electrical & plumbing works and internal fit-out if required, so your new Agricultural Building project is in good hands.
Why refurbish an existing building?
It is often more cost effective to refurbish an existing building than to re-locate and we can assist in designing and carrying out modifications required to optimise the performance of redundant or unusable buildings. For example, re-cladding an existing building can result in improved energy efficiency, improved ventilation, prolonged lifespan and an immediate aesthetic improvement. Adding a mezzanine area can increase the overall floor space reducing cramped conditions.
Good ventilation in livestock housing is imperative for healthy livestock to minimise illness.
Such alterations often require Planning Permission and Building Regulation approval. Contact our Design Team who can help with this and any other aspect of refurbishment.
Our Small Works Team can carry out all types of repairs, refurbishment and maintenance to Agricultural Buildings, whether caused by general wear and tear or damage from storm, fire, flood or malicious intent.
We are on hand to carry out any general repairs to buildings and also work closely with insurance companies to offer a complete repair and refurbishment service. Buildings benefit from regular inspection and maintenance and we can also offer a Maintenance Contract service to ensure issues are dealt with before they become problematic or result in the loss of production and earnings.
Dated or worn-out buildings can lead to under-performance both in energy use and functionality. The refurbishment of existing Commercial or Industrial Buildings by, for example, updating insulation materials and layout can breathe new life into otherwise tired and outdated buildings.
Slurry Infrastructure Grant
Defra have announced this week that the second round of the Slurry Infrastructure Grant is now open for applications with more than twice as much funding available than the first round.
Farmers can apply for grants of £25,000 to £250,000 to fund the replacement, cover and building of extra slurry storage as well as equipment funding.

Calf Housing Grant
Grants of between £15,000 and £500,000 are now available.
Adequate ventilation, humidity and temperature are crucial for calf rearing to allow calves to thrive and improve performance. Improved housing can lead to better growth and feed conversion for dairy, beef and calf units as well as better animal welfare.
‘You can apply for a grant if you’re an existing cattle farmer carrying out farming activity, including calf rearing, with 11 or more cattle. Any buildings you build or upgrade with money from the grant must be located in England.’
More information on the available grants can be found on the Defra website:

Replacing or upgrading a building can help achieve this. Our teams are experienced in constructing housing for a variety of livestock as well as carrying out repairs and refurbishments on existing buildings.
Agricultural Building Refurbishment
Why refurbish an existing livestock building?
- Improved energy efficiency
- Better ventilation
- Animal Welfare
All our livestock buildings are designed and constructed with animal welfare as a priority. Providing adequate ventilation in cattle housing is necessary to ensure good air flow and air quality, allowing fresh air to circulate will help reduce the spread of respiratory and airborne diseases.
The 5 freedoms developed by the Animal Welfare Council set out to ensure good welfare standards are met by those who look after livestock. Freedom from Discomfort – providing an appropriate environment including shelter and comfortable resting area, this starts with well-designed livestock housing.
The buildings should provide enough ventilation throughout the year for the type, size and number of stock to be housed in them. Where appropriate, roofs should be insulated to reduce solar penetration.
The Five Freedoms are:
1. Freedom from hunger and thirst – by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour;
2. Freedom from discomfort – by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area;
3. Freedom from pain, injury or disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment;
4. Freedom to express normal behaviour – by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animals’ own kind;
5. Freedom from fear and distress – by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
