What Alltask does

Alltask is a UK-based privately held specialist contractor founded in 1991 by Daniel Fincham and Doug Shearer, providing integrated scaffolding, asbestos management, thermal insulation, and environmental services to major civil engineering, infrastructure, construction, energy, rail, heritage, and industrial clients. The company operates from two offices (Rochester, Kent as headquarters, and Luton in the Midlands, the latter added through the August 2021 acquisition of EA Scaffolding & Systems Ltd), delivering services under a single integrated proposition that combines in-house scaffolding design with specialist asbestos and insulation capabilities. Core technical differentiators include bespoke scaffolding design and engineering for heritage-sensitive buildings (e.g., permanent load scaffolding at Kew Gardens' Minka House and Waterlily House, Royal Observatory Greenwich), cryogenic insulation for LNG infrastructure (notably Grain LNG Terminal expansion with National Grid and VINCI Construction), and full-spectrum asbestos identification, removal, encapsulation, and management for national energy and housing clients.

Alltask monetises through project-based, quote-driven contracts delivered on a B2B basis to two primary channels: Tier 1 main contractors (Kier, McLaren, Volker Fitzpatrick, Morgan Sindall, Willmott Dixon, John Sisk & Son, J. Murphy & Sons, Bam Nuttall, Skanska Costain STRABAG JV) and direct enterprise/utility clients (British Gas/Centrica since 2012, SSE Thermal, National Grid, Sembcorp Energy UK, Network Rail, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management, supported by extensive prequalification credentials (ISO 9001/14001/45001, ConstructionLine Gold, CHAS, RISQS, Achilles Building Confidence, NASC, ARCA, TICA, ACAD, FORS Silver), industry recognition (ARCA Gold Site Audit, BCIA Transport Project of the Year, Kier Health & Safety Award, UK Rail Supply Chain Partner Award), and named project references. Notable multi-year and framework engagements include over £8 million of works for British Gas since 2012, approximately £6.9 million for British Gas Central Heating over 15+ years, £5 million+ for Hungerford Bridge phases 1-4, and ongoing major packages at Grain LNG and HS2 London Tunnels. The company maintains headcount in the 101-250 band, is privately owned by its founders, and is led by Managing Director Scott West alongside a small disclosed executive team.
