What Lyons & Annoot Ltd does

Lyons & Annoot Ltd is a privately held UK specialist masonry trade contractor, established in 1972 as a partnership and incorporated as a limited company in 1986. The firm supplies and builds brickwork, stonework, and blockwork masonry, supported by an in-house design team proficient in Building Information Modelling (BIM) for 3D clash detection, windpost design, and trade coordination. Beyond its core masonry capabilities, the company offers a suite of adjacent trade services, including screed, resin flooring, polished concrete, render, metal door sets, decorations, turnkey substations, general builderswork, and cavity drainage systems, often packaged through joint venture arrangements with complementary specialist contractors to deliver single-point-of-responsibility solutions.

The company serves top-tier main contractors, property developers, and architects predominantly across London and South East England, engaging through competitive tendering and Pre-Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs) that allow early involvement in design development. Its quality and safety systems are certified to ISO9001:2000 and BS8800:2004 respectively, and it was the first masonry contractor to achieve Achilles 'Level 5 Building Confidence' third-party accreditation. Lyons & Annoot is a founding member of the Association of Brickwork Contractors and operates a structured apprenticeship programme with CITB and Building Crafts College Stratford, supported by an in-house NVQ assessor.

Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts rather than recurring or subscription arrangements, with pricing determined per project via competitive tender. The firm employs 33 staff from its headquarters in Minster, Ramsgate, Kent, and shows no evidence of external investors, public listing, or subsidiary structure. Marketing is limited to its company website and portfolio showcase, with client acquisition driven by industry reputation, repeat relationships, and prequalified supply chain status.
