Family-run, North Devon
Fifty-three years of casting precast concrete.
We started casting in 1973 in a yard outside South Molton. We're now in a purpose-built site near Holsworthy. The kit's better, the team's bigger, and the attention to detail hasn't changed.
Bespoke or catalogue. Farm or civils. We draw, manufacture and deliver from our purpose-built factory at Chilsworthy — every UK county, and into Europe. Pick up the phone — we'll pick up at the desk.
Voices from the yard gate
Cast in Devon. Delivered where the job is.
One promise across every sector: get the specification right, cast it once, deliver wherever the ground crew is waiting.
"Thank you for producing and delivering the barriers we used in the Lake. The barriers were a huge success and just what was needed."
Yard & site — Holsworthy and across the South West
From the yard, into the field.
Where the loads go
Cast in Devon. Delivered across the UK and into Europe.
From Holsworthy we deliver across the South West, and run planned loads UK-wide and into Europe — including Ireland, Northern Ireland and the islands.
Common questions
Straight answers from the yard.
How long have you been trading?
We started casting in 1973 — that's over 50 years of precast in North Devon. A family-led business under sole ownership since 2009, now in a purpose-built yard near Holsworthy (since 2023).
How far do you trade?
Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire are our home turf. Beyond that we deliver UK-wide on planned runs — England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — and into Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium when European jobs come up. If you're willing to pay the carriage we're willing to load the wagon.
What standards do you manufacture to?
Everything that leaves the yard is made under factory production control. Our products are manufactured in compliance with applicable British Standards. For information regarding the specific standards applicable to a particular product, please contact us. Product conformity documentation is available on request.
What concrete grade do you use?
Standard mix is C40/50 sulphate-resisting with CEM III/A cement (around 50% GGBS) for slurry and cubicles, with silage clamp walls at C50/60 sulphate-resisting, cast with a DC-3 or DC-4 designation where the ground or exposure class calls for it. Lightly reinforced items such as padstones use C40/50 (50 N/mm² at 28 days, CEM I); prestressed panels and robot bases use C50/60 high-strength. A C40/50 low-carbon mix with CEM III/B (around 70% GGBS) is available for retaining walls. Bespoke mixes available on request.
Do you offer installation?
No — we manufacture and supply only. We don't have an install team and we don't fit, erect or build in anything we make, on any product line. Installation is down to your groundworker or civils contractor. What we will do is give them what they need to get it right first time: setting-out drawings, lifting anchor positions and fixing details, plus a phone call with the yard if they want to talk it through before the load arrives.
What's the difference between prestressed and reinforced?
Reinforced concrete uses passive steel bars to handle tension. Prestressed concrete uses high-tensile strands tensioned before the concrete cures, putting the panel into permanent compression. The result: thinner, stronger, longer-spanning panels with far better crack resistance — particularly important for slurry and silage applications.
How much slurry storage do I need?
For SSAFO compliance you need a minimum 6 months. For a 200-cow dairy herd that's typically 2,500-3,000m³. We'll size it from your herd numbers, housing system and rainfall catchment. Use our slurry calculator on the slurry-storage product page.
What size cubicles do you make for different breeds?
Standard sizes: Holstein-Friesian — 2.4m × 1.2m. Jersey — 2.2m × 1.1m. Beef sucklers — 2.3–2.5m × 1.15–1.25m depending on frame (Continental breeds at the top of the range). Heifers — 2.2m × 1.1m. Custom sizes for crossbreeds or unusual herds available — send us your average mature cow weight. Full breakdown in our cubicle sizing guide.
