Established in 1981 Woodbar is a family run Building Contractor with two generations of construction expertise. Our company operates as a Main Contractor that specialising in new build & refurbishment contracts in London, East Anglia & the South East.
As our company has been trading for over 30 years we are financially stable with no borrowings and can therefore offer our clients piece of mind and security – a key consideration for many given the current economic climate. We have two main offices; our head office is in Enfield North London, where the company has been based for over 30 years, and our Central London office located in the City of London which was opened in 2010 to help us deal with the increased workload in Central & West London.
We have a dynamic management structure and a highly trained workforce, many of whom have been with the company since its launch in 1981. It is this structure that allows us to competently complete projects in excess of £2 million without compromising the personal services that our clients have become accustom to. We work closely with all our clients to identify their needs and tailor solutions accordingly, with the objective of providing a high quality, effective service at the right price. We can offer vast experience in our field, a strong innovative approach to problem solving, excellent project management, exemplary health and safety record and adaptability in our approach to the contracts we undertake.
We are accredited to the Constructionline & Exor pre-qualification directories and the Construction Health & Safety Scheme (CHAS). We are registered member of the Considerate Constructor scheme and have received a platinum certificate for our commitment to the CSCS scheme. We are a quality assured company, having ISO9001 accreditation and are currently working towards ISO14001 & OHSAS 18001 accreditation.
Over the last fifteen years we have expanded our operation to enable us confidently undertake large scale new build projects, this has seen the company grow in strength and large scale projects have become a core function of our team. Whilst our company is relatively small in comparison to some of its competitor’s we have a proven track record for delivering high specification projects on time and on budget. Everyone at Woodbar is proud that we can offer an economical alternative for major works contracting.
Refurbishment is undoubtedly the core operation of the company with majority of our projects falling into this category. Our experiences range in size and complexity; from small scale commercial or residential refurbishment to million pound refurbishment of occupied school or office buildings. Decorating was the starting block and has continued to be the backbone of the company as we have always prided ourselves on achieving very high standards. We have supervisors employed specifically to monitor the level of finishes on our projects, this allows us to ensure that we constantly provide our clients with a first class finish.
Restoration of historic buildings is an important part of conservation and requires a thorough understanding of traditional construction methods and modern technology. A number of our clients have buildings that are within Conservation areas and we continually provide restorative and adaptive works to Grade I, Grade II & Grade III listed buildings. Such works include; alterations and adaptions to existing Listed Buildings, Facade cleaning, Brickwork & Stonework restoration, render repairs, Sash window/timber repairs and general redecorations. We are proud of our contribution to conserving the national heritage and feel that the stature of the buildings we restore underline the quality and commitment of our workforce.
Everybody at Woodbar takes their moral and ethical responsibility very seriously. Our business doesn't exist in isolation nor is it simply a way of making money. Our employees depend on our business. Our customers, suppliers and the local community are all affected by our business and what we do. That is why we believe it is imperative that we understand how our business impacts on the wider world and consider how we can use this impact in a positive way.
Basically it means taking a responsible attitude, going beyond the minimum legal requirements and following straightforward principles, something we are all proud to do.
We recognise that our operations as a company have an impact on the environment at local, regional and global level and that actions we take today will have a positive or negative impact on the environment for future generations.
We therefore strive to manage any negative impacts we make upon the environment and we are proud that our Environmental Management Systems have been audited and found to meet the requirements of standard ISO 14001:2004.

Minimising the amount of waste sent to landfill through re-using and recycling and by using refurbished and recycled products and materials; where suitable alternatives are available;
Applying the standards in the Government's "Green Claims Code" when making statements about our own services;
Responsibility for ensuring that environmental considerations are addressed in our business ultimately rests with the company Directors and they also take day-to-day responsibility for implementing and monitoring environmental performance.
