Frews Contracting is a third generation family owned contractor with a yard at 85 Factory Road in Belfast, Christchurch. The business began as a demolition firm and now covers demolition, cartage, civil and site works, contamination ground remediation and recycling across Christchurch and Canterbury. Its demolition work ranges from removing pools, garages and houses to large multi-storey commercial buildings, and the site says it has used helicopters and cranes on complex jobs. A selection of salvaged building materials is for sale.
Its cartage fleet includes more than 25 GPS-tracked trucks, from heavy transporters and bulk trucks to trailers, and it can carry hazardous materials. Frews also processes its own material at its quarries, including hardfill, concrete, wood and screened soil. Clean concrete, hardfill, soil and greenwaste can be dumped at its yards, and it sells aggregates such as AP20, AP40, AP65 and crushed concrete. Its rural and civil work includes trenching, irrigation, farm tracks, stump removal, land clearance, carparks and driveways.
