NEW WATERSIDE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT SERVICE GIVES TMS THE EDGE

Teignmouth Maritime Services Ltd has announced the introduction of a new and specialist service for luxury private waterside homes.

South Devon based TMS has been providing marine civil engineering services since 1991 and offers a vast range of marine services for the commercial sector – including dock repair, marina construction and salvage. Building on this heritage, TMS has launched a comprehensive marine construction service for residential properties which offers home owners and boat enthusiast’s private landing stages, pontoons and jetties that are designed to improve and support their lifestyle as well as enhance the value of their property.

Many of their projects arise because an old jetty has fallen into disrepair but most customers simply want to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their waterside property or require a new landing stage for improved river access. Whatever the motivation, this is fast becoming an exciting specialist service for the company.

The unique benefits of commissioning TMS to design and build a new landing stage or jetty are substantial when compared to other construction companies in the market.

Firstly, the company’s overall marine experience, know-how, skill and efficiency mean that projects can be completed to a pre-agreed deadline with minimum disruption and delay, both of which can typically add cost to building projects. Using its own specialist marine engineering equipment and working from the water – whether a river or the sea – operations can be completed to a very high level, on time, on specification and importantly, on budget.

Secondly, customers are reassured that all employees are CSCS and CPCS registered and highly qualified, holding certificates in RYA/MCA boat handling, first aid, survival at sea and fire fighting, as well as other qualifications. This all adds up to projects being carried out competently and in a professional manner, and always with health and safety a top priority. TMS are full members of the BMF (British Marine Federation) and full members of the ADC (Association of Diving Contractors) as well as being ISO 9001 certified. The company is also certified by ConstructionLine, the UK register of pre-qualified construction services.

Peter Stenner, director of TMS, explains why their complete project management and construction service is ideal for home owners wishing to add an impressive landing stage, jetty or pontoon to their property. “We have developed a flexible service that is tailored to the specific needs of the home owner. Our approach is to consult with our customers and their appointed architect, to design and build a waterside mooring construction that is both practical and has ‘wow appeal’ when viewed from the land and water.” He adds:

“The exact choice of design, materials and finish are all personal choices for our customers, so we believe this flexibility combined with many years worth of expertise presents a major opportunity for TMS. Having been involved in the marine civil engineering industry for many years, we saw a clear gap in the market for such a service and fully expect to become the leading landing stage construction company in the UK.”
