For more than 17 years, Silvercrest Energy Group has delivered specialist commercial roofing, scaffolding, roof safety systems and renewable energy projects for organisations across the UK. What began in 2009 as a roofing and fit-out contractor has grown into a multi-disciplinary business, providing clients with a single, trusted partner capable of managing complex commercial projects from concept through to completion.
Today, we work with schools, local authorities, manufacturers, warehouses, commercial landlords, industrial facilities and heritage organisations, delivering integrated solutions that improve building performance, safety and long-term sustainability.
Unlike many contractors who rely on multiple subcontractors, Silvercrest Energy Group brings specialist disciplines together under one roof. This joined-up approach enables us to coordinate roofing, access, scaffolding, roof edge protection and commercial solar installations efficiently, reducing project risk, improving communication and delivering greater value for our clients.
Built on Experience
Our growth has been driven by investment in both people and capability. In 2012, we expanded our operations through the acquisition of Brownes Scaffolding Ltd, which was rebranded as Silvercrest Scaffolding. This strengthened our ability to provide fully integrated access solutions alongside our roofing and construction services.
Today, we operate from our purpose-built headquarters in Basildon, Essex, serving commercial clients throughout the South East and across the UK. Our continued financial stability and long trading history provide clients with confidence that they are working with an established contractor committed to delivering projects safely, professionally and to the highest standards.
Specialists in Complex Commercial Projects
Many of the projects we undertake involve technically demanding environments where careful planning, specialist engineering and close collaboration are essential.
Our experience includes:
- Commercial solar PV installations
- Roofing refurbishment and replacement
- Roof edge protection and permanent handrail systems
- Scaffolding and access solutions
- Heritage and listed buildings
- Schools and educational facilities
- Industrial and manufacturing sites
- Multi-site commercial property portfolios
Whether we’re installing a large-scale rooftop solar array, designing a permanent roof safety system or managing a complete roofing project, our focus remains the same: delivering safe, compliant and commercially effective solutions.
Industry Recognition
Our commitment to quality has been recognised through numerous industry awards and successful projects across the commercial construction and renewable energy sectors.
Highlights include recognition for specialist roofing projects, scaffolding works on historic landmarks, Commercial Solar PV Installer of the Year awards, and award-nominated installations at prestigious sites including Bancroft’s School and Chatham Historic Dockyard.
While we’re proud of these achievements, our reputation has been built on consistently delivering successful projects, long-term client relationships and repeat business.
A Highly Skilled Workforce
Behind every successful project is an experienced team.
Silvercrest Energy Group employs more than 30 skilled operatives supported by dedicated project managers, supervisors and health and safety professionals. Our workforce holds the qualifications required to deliver complex commercial projects safely and efficiently, including CSCS, SMSTS, IPAF, PASMA and Working at Height certification, alongside DBS clearance where required for work on schools and other sensitive sites.
Our scaffolding division includes highly experienced Part 2 and Advanced Scaffolders, while our wider workforce is trained in asbestos awareness to support projects involving older commercial buildings and refurbishment works.
By continually investing in training and professional development, we ensure every project benefits from current industry knowledge and best practice.
Health, Safety and Compliance
Safety is at the heart of everything we do.
Commercial roofing, scaffolding and renewable energy projects frequently involve working at height, making robust planning and risk management essential. Every project is supported by detailed site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), developed and monitored by our experienced health and safety team.
Our in-house Safety Officer works alongside independent health and safety consultants to ensure our procedures remain fully compliant with current legislation and industry standards.
This proactive approach allows us to maintain high safety standards while delivering projects efficiently and with minimal disruption to our clients’ operations.
