DeVille and Lear were established as a partnership in 1950 exclusively to deal with the manufacture and erection of buildings for agriculture. During the 1960s, the company’s knowledge of the industry encouraged the partners to broaden the scope of work by undertaking various industrial contracts.

This side of the business rapidly grew and now comprises over 50% of the company’s annual turnover. The company changed from a partnership to a Limited Company during the 1980’s and new directors were appointed to look after this expanding market.

DeVille and Lear have established themselves as a reliable fabricator of quality steel-framed industrial buildings designed to BS 5950. When an order is placed with us, further discussion takes place involving the customer and/or his architect and we then produce structural calculations ready for submission to the relevant building control authority. DeVille & Lear’s policy of close personal involvement continues throughout, ensuring that the project benefits from the smoothest possible interaction between ourselves and other contractors and trades.

PORTAL FRAMES: A wide range of spans from 6 metres to 40 metres and beyond.

A vast range of cladding material is currently available. Our experience in the application of each of the various alternatives is comprehensive, and we welcome the opportunity to advise on suitability and cost implication. Similarly, knowledge we have gained on the differing methods and advantages of roof and wall insulation is at your disposal.

We can offer a wide range of doors including roller shutters, up and over type, and sliding as well as quality personnel and fire doors.

Options available for roller shutter doors include power operation, insulated doors, coloured finish to the slats, etc.

Alternatively, we can work in conjunction with the customer’s own supplier, and merely provide the necessary supporting steelwork minus actual doors.

Deville & Lear operate their own shotblasting plant and all steework, prior to fabrication, is treated if necessary. Afterwards, steelwork is given a works coat of high quality paint primer, then a top finishing coat is applied prior to erection; any necessary touch up work being done before sheeting - aternatively we can supply steelwork with a hot-dipped galvanised finish at extra cost.
