Olympic Construction

What Olympic Construction does

Olympic Construction Ltd is a UK-based property care specialist operating primarily across North West England from its headquarters in Oldham and a branch in Wilmslow, Cheshire. The company provides certified property surveys and remedial treatment services covering rising, penetrating, and salt dampness; wet and dry rot; woodworm; wall tie failure; structural movement; basement and cellar conversions; waterproofing of existing and new structures; condensation control and ventilation; flood restoration; and heritage/period property work including lime pointing, lime plastering, and weather protection. Services are delivered by Chartered Building Engineers and certified surveyors holding CTIS, CRDS, and CSRT qualifications, supplemented by BPEC-qualified domestic ventilation engineers and CSSW-qualified waterproofing designers.

The company's core technology stack rests on professional diagnostic capability backed by a suite of branded remediation systems: Nuaire PIV units (DRI-365, Flatmaster, DRI-ECO range) and mechanical extract fans for ventilation; Safeguard Drybase Flex, Wykamol, and Koster systems for damp-proofing and renovating plasters; Thorhelical (Wykamol) helical ties and masonry beaming for structural stabilisation; and Delta membranes for waterproofing. A notable technical differentiator is the bespoke robotic inspection system developed with The Machine Lab for sub-floor and roof void inspections — one of only two such systems in the UK — which removes the need to rip up flooring by accessing voids as shallow as 200mm and recording findings for client and owner review.

The business model is quote-based professional services: surveyors conduct on-site inspections, deliver written reports and specifications, and price installation works on a per-project basis. Revenue is generated across three streams — property survey services, remedial treatment and installation works, and basement/cellar conversions — serving four primary customer segments: property owners and homeowners (primary), landlords and property management companies, housing associations, and commercial/hospitality clients. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct phone and website enquiries with content marketing (educational blog on damp, condensation, wall ties, Awaab's Law, and building surveys), regional SEO, Trustatrader consumer reviews (65+), and institutional referrals generated through Property Care Association membership.
