We are proud to offer a reliable, friendly service with safety and civility at the core of our business. Our mission is to provide our clients with the highest quality service and materials, delivered on time and within budget. Our History The company is run by father and son Keith and Jack French and their team, from the family base at Arborfield in Berkshire. Keith’s father Peter was involved in a varied range of demolition and construction work as well as daily muck away contracts from the factories in the Slough area throughout the 1950s and 60s. Peter was a phenomenally hard-working man. In the early days, it would have been no surprise to anyone to see him loading a 10-ton tipper with a shovel, or what he would call it the ‘1RB’!

Besides this work, they were engaged on demolition, particularly of the farm cottages scattered across the area east of the village of Datchet, which was designated for the construction of the huge reservoirs in the 1960s.  Yellow stock London bricks from this job were cleaned and re-used to build a new house for Peter’s family in 1963. The shovel soon gave way to machine with the arrival of one of the first Chaseside hydraulic loaders. Based on a Fordson Major, this revolutionised the task. It was followed by an early JCB3 that P
