About

A specialist contractor run by someone who learned the trade on the tools.

Tofan Cladding Specialists Ltd is a light steel framing and rainscreen cladding contractor based in Northampton, working for main contractors and developers across the UK.

Started on the tools in 2005

The owner started installing framing and cladding in 2005 and spent years on the tools before building a business around what he learned. 21 years on, he runs the company: pricing packages, planning the work with site teams and keeping the gangs on programme. The company was formed in 2017 to take on larger packages directly for main contractors.

That background shapes how the business runs. Pricing is done by someone who knows how long the work really takes. Problems on the deck are solved by someone who has solved them before. And the team is made up of people who have been trained the same way.

A team built to run several sites

Today the business has 15 to 20 operatives. That is enough to run gangs of 5 to 6 operatives, on several sites at the same time, each with its own supervisor, rather than one crew that has to finish one job before it can start the next.

For a main contractor that means a framing or cladding package can start when the programme says it should, and elevations or floors can be worked in parallel when the scaffold allows.

Central base, national reach.

Northampton puts us within reach of most of England by road, and the team regularly works away on projects across the UK. Where a site is does not decide whether we can take it on.

What you can expect

How we work with main contractors.

  • Straight answers on programme

    If a date is tight we say so before we start, not after. You get a realistic sequence and weekly progress you can rely on.

  • The right number of people

    Gangs are sized to the job and kept on it. We do not strip a site to start another one.

  • Decisions made by someone who knows the work

    The owner runs the business day to day, so questions get a straight answer from someone who has done the job, not a layer of account managers.

  • Work that passes first time

    Set-out is checked before fixing, and each floor or elevation is snagged and signed off before the next trade follows.
