Behind the scenes at BES Steel Buildings.

A busy morning across three very different projects.

We started in Merthyr checking over a recently completed steel building that was designed, manufactured and erected by the BES team.

From there, we visited a large industrial site where we’re currently tendering for the dismantling, itemisation and potential re-er****on of an existing steel-framed building.

The morning finished at one of our industrial-estate refurbishment projects, meeting with the site manager and planning the next phase of works.

From new steel buildings to complex industrial works and refurbishment projects — one team, every stage.

12M x 12M STEEL BUILDING 👌🏼

A closer look at one of our recently completed BES Steel Buildings.

Measuring 12m x 12m and standing approximately 5.6m to the eaves, this building offers a huge amount of usable space — with the additional height providing perfect scope for an internal mezzanine floor, which has been incorporated into this one.

The external finish features:

▪️ Goosewing Grey plastisol-coated sheets
▪️ Black plastisol flashings and detailing
▪️ Trimline steel guttering
▪️ Large roller shutter openings
▪️ Windows positioned to the rear
▪️ Internal mezzanine floor

A really smart combination of colours and a great example of how a relatively compact footprint can be designed to maximise the usable space inside.

This project will also feature in one of our upcoming BES Steel Buildings YouTube episodes, where we’ll show much more of the build and what goes into taking one of these projects from steelwork through to the finished building.

A proper one for the portfolio. 👌

This 12m × 12m steel building has now been completed, standing approximately 5.6m to the eaves and finished with:

▪️ 80mm insulated panels throughout
▪️ Two 4m × 4m roller shutter doors
▪️ Insulated soffit detail across the front
▪️ Trimline steel gutter system
▪️ Bespoke steel frame designed, fabricated and erected by BES

A simple-looking building at first glance, but it’s the proportions, detailing and finish that make this one stand out. An absolutely beautiful finished building and one we’re very proud of.

We’ll be heading back to film a complete walkthrough for Episode 6 of our YouTube series.

NEW EPISODE: Will Our Roof Pass Giromax’s 25-Year Guarantee Inspection?

Episode 4 takes us behind the scenes of a live Giromax warranty inspection at Cwm Small Business Centre.

This episode wasn’t planned. When John from Giromax arrived to inspect Roof B, the camera started rolling and captured the complete process—from the initial checks and technical conversations to the final guarantee decision.

It provides a candid look at the quality-control process behind an industrial roof-coating system and the standard required to achieve a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

It also demonstrates the value of strong manufacturer support and our commitment at BES to listening, learning and applying specialist systems correctly.

EPISODE 3 DROPS AT 7:45PM TONIGHT 🎥

This one has a bit of everything.

Works continue across Cwm Small Business Centre as we push the refurbishment programme forward, invest in our own spraying equipment and start seeing a huge difference between the roofs we inherited and where they are now.

Then things take another turn…
We discover scaffold boards have been stolen from site, deal with the usual challenges of running live projects, and following meetings with Blaenau Gwent Council and the existing contractor, BES is brought in to help take on a third industrial estate.

We head over to Llanhilleth to see exactly what we’re taking on before returning to Blaenant as the original estate starts drawing towards completion.

Episode 3 also gives a bit more of the personalities behind the business and the reality of what goes on between the polished finished-project photos.

Episode 3 – tonight at 7:45pm on YouTube.
If you’ve been following the series, this is probably our best one yet.

Episode 2 of our Blaenau Gwent Council Refurbishment Series is now live.

**One Project Becomes Two.**

In this episode, works continue at **Blaenant Industrial Estate**, where the roof coating to Building 1 is completed and side elevation cladding works begin.

At the same time, part of the BES team moves across to **Cwm Small Business Centre**, where scaffold er****on, roof preparation and coating works get underway.

Running two live estates simultaneously allows us to keep the wider programme moving efficiently, even when individual areas are affected by access restrictions, scaffold delays, trees, weather conditions or extreme heat on the roofs.

This episode gives a good insight into the planning, coordination and day-to-day problem solving involved in delivering refurbishment works across multiple live industrial sites.

And, as always, not every take goes perfectly first time…

Episode 2 is available to watch now on our YouTube channel.

The wait is nearly over… ⏳

For the first time, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a live industrial refurbishment project from start to finish.

Over the coming weeks you’ll see exactly how our team transforms ageing industrial buildings—from scaffolding and preparation through to coating systems, detailing and the finished result.

🎥 Episode 1 of The Blaenau Gwent Refurbishment Series is coming soon.

Follow the series and see what really goes into delivering large-scale refurbishment projects.

Client Review – Monmouth Project

Great feedback from a recent project in Monmouth.

Geoff was excellent to deal with throughout — something every member of our team picked up on while working on site.

We take a lot of pride in how our projects are delivered, so it’s always good to see that reflected from the client’s side as well.

A solid job all round and one we’re pleased to have been part of.
