About us
Established in 1759, Sykes & Son Limited is the UK’s oldest independent building contractor. Trading for over 260 years, Sykes has evolved from a small specialist contractor – a glazier, plumber, decorator and small builder – into a medium sized, multi-discipline contractor with an annual turnover of £30m.
The company has three main workstreams: Building, Mechanical & Electrical and Maintenance. This diversity of self-delivered services allows us to offer a “one stop shop” solution to our clients. Furthermore, we have the flexibility to carry out minor works through to multi-million-pound projects.
We are incredibly proud of the part that we have played in restoring, building, refurbishing, and maintaining our capital’s heritage over the years. From Royal Palaces to world renowned Museums, Galleries, and Universities, we continue to forge long-term working relationships at London’s finest buildings.
