≈32 miles from the Carnon Downs yard via the A30 and A391.
The building stock we work on in St Austell
St Austell's centre carries Victorian and Edwardian terraces along Truro Road, Bodmin Road and Alexandra Road, with the granite-built market and civic core around Fore Street and Church Street. The suburbs are dominated by larger estates — Bethel, Boscoppa, Sandy Hill and Poltair — of 1960s–80s semis and terraces, often rendered rather than pointed granite, with concrete-tile roofs. On the outskirts, china-clay-era workers' cottages at Bugle, Foxhole and Nanpean bring older single-skin and slate-hung stock that needs careful scaffolding around fragile eaves. The Eden Project catchment supports occasional commercial and hospitality refurb work as well.
Terrain and access in St Austell
The town centre is workable for wagon access with early-morning drops; the suburban estates are straightforward. Ground on the china-clay periphery can be variable — old spoil, reworked ground, and localised soft spots — so sole boards and, occasionally, pad standards feature in RAMS on jobs at Bugle, Foxhole and around the Wheal Martyn corridor. Coastal-facing properties at Pentewan and Charlestown add sea-wind exposure to the tie plan.
Typical jobs and turnaround
Full re-roofs on Victorian terraces, EWI render rigs on the 1960s estates, extension and loft scaffolds across the suburbs, commercial refurb scaffolds along Fore Street and the retail parks at Holmbush, and heritage work on Charlestown's listed maritime buildings.
