What Mitre Construction Co. Ltd does

Mitre Construction Co. Ltd is a privately held, family-owned UK building contractor founded in 1989 and headquartered in Chingford, London. It specialises in external and internal refurbishment and operates three core service lines: (i) External Refurbishments covering the full building envelope including stone and brick cleaning via the Stonehealth DOFF System, stonework restoration, roofing using Langley PU waterproofing systems, window care timber repairs, brick restoration and re-pointing; (ii) Internal Refurbishments spanning M&E, joinery, partitioning, fire proofing, suspended ceilings, DDA compliance and finishes for commercial, educational, healthcare and residential properties; and (iii) Maintenance, including day-to-day and 24-hour emergency callouts. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications alongside Construction Line, CHAS, Alcumus, Stone Federation and NFRC accreditations.

The firm's revenue model is project-based, with disclosed contract values ranging from £51k to £2.4m and typical durations of 6 to 52 weeks, supplemented by long-term maintenance contracts (e.g., the 15-year day-to-day maintenance contract held with the London Borough of Waltham Forest). Revenue is generated through fixed-price construction contracts (one-time project work) and managed maintenance services, with pricing determined per project via quote-based engagement. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct relationship-led sales supplemented by eight approved-supplier positions on UK public-sector frameworks — LCP DPS, PAGABO (2023–2027), SEC DPS, LHC Whole House Refurbishment, Westworks, CHIC AUOR, Prosper, and MW24-H — which provide OJEU-compliant procurement routes into London Borough clients, educational institutions and housing providers.

Mitre serves two principal customer segments across London and the Home Counties: the public sector, including borough councils (Waltham Forest, Haringey, Camden, Ealing, Enfield, Redbridge, Hackney) and educational institutions such as Newham College; and the private sector, anchored by prestige London property owners and managers such as Cadogan Estates and Freshwater Group of Properties, alongside surveying practices including Squarepoint and Rider Levett Bucknall. Leadership remains anchored by the founding Salmon family (Ted, Tony, James and Tina Salmon) alongside Director Alan Ranscombe, supported by a directly employed craft workforce progressing through internal promotion.
