CPM Contracts was established in 1989 and has been repairing, insulating and renovating property across West Yorkshire and beyond ever since. What began as a general building and maintenance contractor — with retail refits for household names, work for the NHS and upgrades to school, college and university buildings — has become a specialist in one thing: the building envelope. The brickwork, render and insulation that keep a building dry, warm and sound.
Today almost all of our work is planned external works on occupied housing for housing providers, local authorities and the principal contractors delivering their investment and decarbonisation programmes — delivered either as a specialist subcontractor or as principal contractor in our own right. We grind out and repoint brick and stone, install external wall insulation and render systems, repair structural brickwork and reinstate the pipework that goes with it — street by street, often with residents still at home. We have insulated more than 1,000 properties in the last five years and repointed more than 1,500.
We are a close-knit company. Our 30 operatives are trained, experienced and directly employed, most have been with CPM for ten years or more — our longest-serving for over twenty — and our pointing teams between them carry over 150 years of experience. Every operative is CSCS-carded, inducted and trained before they set foot on site, and a qualified CPM site manager or supervisor is on every job full time. We own our fleet and our plant outright, so our teams arrive self-sufficient, and every property we touch is closed out on a signed, photographed quality record that goes to the client as evidence.
What sets us apart
- One subcontractor, not five. Grinding and pointing, structural repairs — crack stitching and wall tie replacement — pipework, EWI and render in sequence on the same property, planned and supervised as one programme.
- Evidence, not just completion. A quality assurance record per property per stage, signed by installer and supervisor, bound into street-by-street evidence files for the client portal.
- Certified for funded retrofit. PAS 2030:2023, TrustMark and NICEIC competent-person scheme — the paperwork SHF, ECO and Warm Homes schemes require.
- Dust, vibration and health taken seriously. Powered respirators for every grinder, LEV-tested extraction, HAVS monitoring and health surveillance.
- Our own people, fleet and plant. Directly employed teams, liveried vehicles, generators, grinders and extraction — no hire lead times, no agency labour.
- Paper-free, connected workforce. RAMS, timesheets, quality assurance records and training all live on one in-house digital system that every operative carries on their phone.
- Principal contractor or subcontractor. We are equally comfortable acting as principal contractor on schemes delivered direct for a client — taking on the CDM duties, site set-up, welfare and resident liaison — or working as a specialist subcontractor under a principal contractor's site rules, induction and scaffold.
- Transparent commercials. Priced per m² and per unit against a measured schedule, so valuations reconcile to the quality assurance evidence.
Who we work for
Current and recent clients and principal contractors
Frameworks
Appointed contractor on the EN:Procure (Efficiency North) Installation & Repairs framework, through which our current three-year EWI programme for Vico Homes was awarded, and set up on several open DPS routes for direct call-off.
Where we work
Based at Darrington, Pontefract, in the heart of West Yorkshire. Most of our schemes are across Wakefield, Leeds, Kirklees, Barnsley and Rotherham, and we travel further for the right programme.
Long-serving, directly employed teams
Dedicated render, pointing and grinding gangs, so stages run concurrently across a scheme rather than one trade waiting on another. Comfortable running four sites at once with a working supervisor on each.
Quality you can audit
Grind depth photographed against a gauge, boarding and mesh checked and signed off, finish inspected — one record per property per stage, verified by a supervisor with an independent re-check.
Our own fleet and plant
A full fleet of our own liveried work vehicles, plus ten high-powered generators, 24 grinders, 22 dust-control units and mixing plant — all owned outright, serviced on schedule and LEV tested, so our teams arrive self-sufficient with no hire lead times.
