Take a look at what our clients have to say about working with Blackoak Contracts.
”Black Oak have been working with Actemium UK Limited and specifically the Coventry Division that I Manage for 3-4 years. They provide Civil Construction Services for our Electric Vehicle Charging Projects across the length and breadth of the UK. That involves site works within Motorway Service Stations, Private Workplace Offices/Factories, Main Car Dealerships etc…We have found Blackoak to be extremely reliable and flexible in a fast pace and rapidly evolving EV Charging Sector and they are a core component to our project delivery team. They work effectively with our Project Managers and on-site electricians and are considered to be an extension to our own directly employed labour force. Attitude to Health & Safety is excellent and they are always willing to work with us to improve our approach on site, they have participated in some of our internal quarterly meetings with the Actemium Team where we discuss H&S and that helps them to understand our culture and mentality on the subject matter.
Actemium - Nick ChambersBusiness Unit General Manager
”Due to the scope and scale of some of our larger projects we decided we needed to partner with a larger groundworks contractor who could fulfil our requirements. We trialled a number of companies and found that Blackoak could deliver on price and quality and uphold the company’s reputation and high standards. Chris is great to deal with and always happy to go the extra mile to make sure a project runs smoothly for all concerned.
TG Escapes - Karl Stokes
”I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the contractors and site staff for their patience and support during the construction and install of our 2 x new 175kW chargers. Despite challenges on site, it is with everyone’s help and support that this project was complete before the new year.
Euro Garages - Suhaib Patel
”Just a quick e mail to say how good the work that was carried out at the above address is. All your operatives were hard working and polite and also the communication I had with Scott during the works was outstanding and went like clockwork and it’s a pleasure working with a team of good lads.
Ringstones/Calico - Arwel JonesAssistant Site Manager
”We’d like to congratulate Blackoak on providing both an efficient and professional service. Works were undertaken promptly with a keen eye on workmanship. We would recommend them to future clients.
Waitings - Rod Philips
”I have been working with Blackoak contractors for 8 plus years on numerous size projects and they have delivered high quality installations with great attention to detail. I would say their strongest points are quality, reliability, flexibility and competitive rates across the construction industry. I will continue a well-established relationship with future projects with Blackoak as we look to expand our business to meet our ever-growing client demand.
Actemium - Antony BishopProject Manager
”Blackoak has been a valued civils contractor for Actemium over 8 years. The continued partnership over the years is built on trust and the quality of work provided by Blackoak. This has been an asset to us and has enabled both companies to grow organically. The construction industry is very competitive and Blackoak needs to be commended for their commitment to rates whilst maintaining quality and their increased focus on health and safety. We hope to continue our partnership with Blackoak and to grow it further.

”Please see below a snippet taken from our recent Considerate Constructors audit. The auditor told me during the visit that all the operatives on site had acknowledged him in a pleasant and approachable manner. This is really good to hear and is vital in achieving the required perception of Ring Stones/Calico construction sites. Please can you pass this good news message onto the operatives on Sycamore Avenue but also explain that this is a benchmark standard that must be maintained. It was refreshing to note operatives were courteous.
Ringstones/Calico - Nick DawsonSite Manager
”We are extremely pleased with Blackoak Contracts, who are a professional, pro-active, and efficient organisation. The project, which consisted of the installation of new electric vehicle charging points at a 24-hour petrol station, went very smoothly, especially in terms of health and safety and with minimal disturbance to customers. Regular communication meant that time keeping was maintained and the programme was adhered to. The knowledge of the Blackoak team was truly a value added to the overall project, they strive for quality in their work and are committed in every step of the process.
